All Disaster Curses in ‘Jujutsu Kaisen, ’ Explained

In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, cursed spirits are beings of cursed energy that have taken physical form. Terrifying? You betcha!

The adaptation of the Shibuya Incident arc is one of the most detailed and intense arcs in all of anime. As the arc took a lot of hostages, fans said goodbye to the disaster curses. These cursed spirits were born out of humanity’s fears. There are four extremely powerful cursed spirits born, and each one emerged from a different fear. Their goal? The complete eradication of humanity. While some fans believe the Shibuya Incident arc came to an end too soon, the story wrapped up pretty nicely, leaving room for some more intense showdowns in season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Hanami, the nature curse 

Hanami is a special-grade disaster curse that is born of humanity’s fear of forest-related disasters. They are one of the major antagonists of the first half of the Jujutsu Kaisen story. Their innate technique is plant-based, and they are powerful enough to single-handedly take out most of the Kyoto and Tokyo Jujutsu High students. They first showed up with Pseudo-Geto to discuss plans of sealing Satoru Gojo and scoring the release of Sukuna. 

They saved Jogo from the hands of Satoru Gojo, and fought the students of Kyoto and Tokyo. As a result, this allowed Mahito to steal the cursed womb paintings, as well as Sukuna’s fingers. Hanami has complete mastery of most Jujutsu techniques, and first showed the ability of ”Domain Amplification” as a way to counter Satoru Gojo’s infinity. Hanami ultimately met their end at the hands of Satoru Gojo during the high-stakes Shibuya Incident.

Dagon, the water curse 

Dagon is an unnamed special-grade disaster curse that is born of humanity’s fear of water-related disasters. His innate technique is water-based, and he is powerful enough to take on three grade-one sorcerers. He was originally a cursed womb, but was still able to use the most advanced of Jujutsu techniques. Moreover, he was regularly the host for most of the disaster curses’ meetings. Upon finding out about Hanami’s death, he swore to get revenge on the sorcerer that killed his ally. However, Dagon also ultimately met his end, this time, at the hands of a reincarnated Toji Fushiguro. This also took place during the events of the Shibuya Incident.
