Every Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen, Ranked Least to Most Powerful

Spoiler Alert !!!
This article contains some spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen Manga.

Every Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen has its own flavor, but not all are equally punchy. Some are clever tricks, some are terrifying nightmares, and a few are so powerful they literally warp the rules of the series. Since a Domain is supposed to be the ultimate trump card for any sorcerer or curse, ranking them from weakest to strongest is one of the best ways to see just how wild Gege Akutami’s power system really is.

Before we get started, let’s get something straight: what makes a Domain ‘powerful’? It’s not just about looking flashy. We’re judging them by how lethal their guaranteed-hit effect is, how wide or versatile their range can get, how hard they are to counter, and most importantly, how they’ve actually performed in real battles. With that in mind, let’s go from the weakest Domains all the way up to the ones that can redefine reality.

12. Deadly Sentencing

Higuruma’s Domain stands out among the most distinctive in Jujutsu Kaisen. Rather than raining fire or summoning monsters, it throws you into a courtroom where Judge Man decides your fate. If you’re found guilty, you get punished, and the judgment severely handicaps an opponent’s combat potential. In terms of creativity, this Domain is a clear champion.

The downside? It’s not built for raw destruction. Sure, it’s terrifying if you’re trapped and suddenly stripped of your cursed technique, but it’s not designed to wipe out armies or shatter landscapes. Higuruma’s Domain works best in one-on-one duels where rules matter, but against someone like Sukuna, it’s more like bringing a small hammer to a sword fight.

11. Time Cell: Moon Palace

Time Cell: Moon Palace is basically body horror turned into a Domain. Once you’re inside, your cells start to get wrecked, and the attack is as nasty as it sounds. It’s a clever concept that bypasses flashy visuals and goes straight for microscopic brutality. If you don’t have a counter, you’re getting torn apart from the inside out.

But while it’s brutal, it’s also very niche. It’s also extremely specific. It doesn’t have the large-scale destructive flair of other Domains, and it hasn’t been shown to dominate in multiple scenarios. Think of it like a scalpel: deadly up close, but not nearly as well-rounded as a nuke. That’s why it ranks so low.

10. Womb Profusion

Womb Profusion is not about immediate death; it’s about warping you into something unrecognizable. This Domain warps and deforms bodies in frightening ways, and it’s a living hell for anyone stuck inside. It’s perfect if the goal is to disable your opponent.

However, it lacks the brute power of the more powerful Domains. Against a prepared sorcerer or curse, Womb Profusion can be resisted or countered. It’s frightening, yes, but not the type of Domain that defines a battlefield. More psychological horror than sheer dominance.

9. Horizon of the Captivating Skandha

Dagon’s Domain is probably the most beautiful-looking in the series. Once active, you’re underwater, and cursed fish start to swarm you like predators. The infinite ocean feels make it both beautiful and frightening, particularly because the fish can rip weaker opponents to pieces.

The catch? It just doesn’t stand up against the real monsters. So while it’s a fantastic Domain for creating a creepy, overwhelming environment, it’s still not in the same league as the elites.

8. Coffin of the Iron Mountain

Jogo’s Domain is exactly what you’d expect from a curse obsessed with fire: a volcanic hellscape where the floor is lava, and the air will burn your skin off. It’s one of the most straightforward Domains, and against normal opponents, it’s practically unbeatable. Just being in it is a death sentence.

Unfortunately for Jogo, he had the bad luck of going up against Gojo. And when Unlimited Void is activated, Coffin of the Iron Mountain looks like child’s play. It’s powerful, no doubt, but it gets hard-countered by stronger sorcerers, which is why it doesn’t break into the top ranks.

7. Idle Death Gamble

Hakari’s Domain is exactly as wild as he is. Inside Idle Death Gamble, his pachinko machine spins, and if it hits a jackpot, his body automatically restores with the reverse cursed technique. That means extra lives, literally.

This turns every fight into a slot machine where the odds are stacked in Hakari’s favor. Even if you kill him, he just comes back. It’s more about survival and endurance than raw offense, but that’s what makes Hakari so ridiculously hard to put down.

6. Chimera Shadow Garden

Megumi’s Chimera Shadow Garden is one of the most tactical Domains in the series. Instead of a single guaranteed hit, he fills the battlefield with shadows and unleashes countless shikigami. That means the enemy has to fight a literal army while Megumi himself uses the shadows for ambushes and counters. It’s flexible, tricky, and a nightmare to deal with.

The only reason it doesn’t rank higher is that it’s incomplete. Without the guaranteed hit being fully realized, it doesn’t dominate the way it could. But when Megumi eventually perfects it, Chimera Shadow Garden might become one of the most broken Domains we’ve ever seen.

5. Threefold Affliction

Yorozu’s Domain doesn’t rely on flashy monsters or firestorms. Instead, it’s all about creating a void-like environment that strips enemies of their defenses. Simple, clean, and deadly in the right fight. It’s a perfect example of ‘less is more’, no distractions, just straight-up danger.

That said, it’s not the most versatile Domain out there. Against certain opponents, it can be devastating, but against others, it might not have the reach or overwhelming pressure to seal the deal. That’s why it falls just short of being the very best.

4. Authentic Mutual Love

Now here’s where things get crazy. Yuta’s Domain is filled with cross-shaped wreckage and countless katanas floating in the air, each of which is full of cursed energy. As soon as it gets activated, Yuta has unlimited access to all the cursed techniques he’s copied over, and he can pipe them straight into his guaranteed-hit slashes.

That makes Authentic Mutual Love an absolute nightmare. Instead of relying on one ‘ultimate trick,’ Yuta basically turns his Domain into a customizable death machine. Every strike is impossible to dodge, and with Yuta’s insane cursed energy reserves, he can keep the pressure up endlessly. This isn’t just power, it’s versatility at its deadliest.

3. Self-Embodiment of Perfection

Mahito’s Domain is a nightmare world. Once you’re inside, he can reshape your soul directly. That means he doesn’t just hurt your body, he rewrites what you are. And unless you have one of the rare abilities that counter soul manipulation, you’re doomed.

What is particularly terrifying about this Domain is the speed at which Mahito is able to use it. It isn’t slow or flashy, it just snaps into place and instantly puts the opponent in danger. For sheer horror factor, Self-Embodiment of Perfection is almost unmatched.

2. Unlimited Void

Gojo’s Unlimited Void is the epitome of high-class perfection. Once you’re trapped inside, you get bombarded with infinite information. Your senses overload, your body freezes up, and you basically become a sitting duck. It’s not loud or violent, but it’s unstoppable.

What’s so scary about Unlimited Void is that, regardless of how physically powerful you are, if you get caught, your head simply cannot work. The only reason this Domain is not the undisputed number one is that it met its match against Sukuna. Otherwise, Unlimited Void is the cleanest example of how lethal a perfected Domain can be.

1. Malevolent Shrine

At last, we come to the top. Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine is not only strong, it’s basically unfair. Unlike all other Domains, it doesn’t require a barrier. That means its range extends far beyond normal limits, and you can’t break it by targeting the shell. It’s like Sukuna himself said, “Rules? Not for me.”

The craziest part is that it went head-to-head with Gojo’s Unlimited Void and came out even. That alone shows how broken it is. With its insane range, unavoidable slashes, and unique mechanics, Malevolent Shrine sits comfortably as the strongest Domain in the Jujutsu Kaisen series so far.

Here’s a quick side-by-side chart of all the Domains ranked in Jujutsu Kaisen, their users:

And there you have it all, Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen listed from the ones that only just scratch to the ones that redefine what ‘power’ even is. What makes Domains so great is that they aren’t merely about raw strength; they represent the personality, creativity, and technique of the sorcerer or curse user.

Now here’s the question: if you could live in Jujutsu Kaisen for a day, which Domain would you wish to unleash? Gojo’s infinite overload, Sukuna’s rule-breaking slaughterhouse, or maybe something trickier like Megumi’s shadow army? Share with us in the comments section below.
