Not counting big 3 clan for Gojo and in unknown time period where Hakari and Todo potentially aren't around yet so in terms of accuracy this list and this statement line up pretty nicely overall. Kusakabe without this statement is outranked here by: Mechamaru's true form that isn't known by anyone. Yuji who just joined the organisation. Megumi and Maki who only got to this level now. Zenins are part of big 3 clan. And Todo who as i explained was probably not even there yet.
@@reidj2226 why make that statement if it has no relevance? Aside from as a joke it makes no sense to have it there if it didn’t hold true still. Unless it’s a joke. Exceptions being for yuji and maki. Who weren’t counted in that statement since they aren’t official grade 1 sorcerers. Maki is special grade tier. And yuji may be stronger because if his soul seizing punches.
@@georgec9384 Idk why you're saying it like i made up that statement when original comment and mine refers to latest chapter about Kusakabe being stated in unknown time period but obvious flashback before Yuji coming along and many things changing like Megumi and Maki upgrades. I just said this video and this latest statement line up pretty nicely because of logical reasons this statement even exists at all. And Maki isn't special grade or at least i don't see her taking on a country by herself with example Kenjaku gave us about what makes one a special grade sorcerer. Gojo has limitless, Yuki with her black hole, Yuta with Rika cursed spirit and Kenjaku already showcased this potential to take on a country with Geto's ability. Maki has nothing aside from speed.
Kusakabe is a weird character to rank because his hacks make him invulnerable to many of the most powerful attacks, but he still loses to physically superior opponents. Like, I'm sure he'd lose to Todo, Naobito/Naoya and maybe even Nanami. But none of them can eat an Uzumaki.
@@marsmarkNaoya is insanely powerful and well recognized as a capable sorcerer. The reason he isn't considered as fast as Naobito is because Naoya isn't quite as calculating as his pops. In terms of pure ability they are the same.
Maki can hardly be considered anything less than Special Grade at this point. She took down nearly double digit grade 1 sorcerers simultaneously, while injured, and after having fought dozens of lower grade sorcerers and curses. She later goes on to heal from nearly fatal internal bleeding in less than 5 minutes. That's even before she fully awakened. She's solidly Special Grade at this point, while still not Gojo level.
the difference between the strongest 1st grade and weakest special grade is prob more than the difference between a grade 4 and grade 1 sorcerer, we're talking about the likes of gojo yuta and kenjaku here and if we're to say maki => toji then she is barely stronger than a teenage gojo which didn't even have his special grade title yet.
He worries about dying so much, yet tanked a Maximum Uzamaki without a scratch, and only got minor injuries after the Maximum meteor was dropped. I honestly think he could have dealt with Hanami or Dagon mid-diff, as his durability scaling is just that ridiculous, with an anti-domain technique as a bonus. Add the fact that his speed and reaction time would allow him to draw his katana before they could even react, due to his Batto Sword Drawing and the fact that he has enough speed to get away from a maximum meteor less than a second before it hits the ground. It really just comes down to how much damage he could dish out.
Honestly if it's like hanami which we know doesn't really have that much destructive power compared to like jogo then like kusakabe was tanking true form sukunas cleave and dismantle and was confident about surviving plenty more when he said he will be higorumas shield so it's not that far fetched@@ImpatientPlatypus
Megumi is such a weird character for this list because his position really fits but if you account for suicide as part of his ranking he could be top of this list easily by summoning Maho.
@@MaxIronsThird Maki should be considered a special grade then as well. She shouldn't be at the no. 1 spot but since we are going off of the videos logic, that shouldn't be the case.
@@redroman4214 definitely, if she's on Toji level, that means she gan clap dagon easy...... Also theoretically beat unawaken GOJO and Geto both in Special Grade.
She did great in her fight with Mahito, I’ve noticed she’s really clever and knowledgeable about how to fight different types of fighters, she had so much potential I really wanted to see her do more😭
@@RandomPerson-ui3xv expect sakara just wined the whole time, had the whole princess peach HELP ME NAURTO!!! And couldn't accept her crush wanted to kill there whole village. She also played mind games with Naruto and was manipulative and thought she had a chance against Madara. Where as nobara is the complete opposite. Doesn't ask to be saved is actually a competent person and is smart enough to not go up against someone stronger then her. And she actually helps out the team. She literally was told yo don't go back into the barrier but does because she wanted to help yuji and fugoshiro. She even manages to damage mahito and mahito literally says he she is a natural counter to him and is a very dangerous sorcerer. Not to mention nobora might come back later in the manga. Nobora is automatically better than Sakura because she's actually able to freaking damage her opponents and not constantly need to be saved. She only go saved once or twice and has some pretty good feats. Sakura doesn't have shit. She's trash. Also the blonde guy kind of jumped her and in her defence she had to protect a non sorcerer and the blonde dude had a broken ability to avoid death with miracles.
Inumaki’s kinda getting the Jogo treatment, his 3 fights are against one of the four special grade sorcerers of his era, a special grade curse that was only taken out by Gojo, and a semi first grade curse that attacked when he was most vulnerable and still a first year in training
So to underline and add to the Kusakabe's ranking, since I completely agree. Mei Mei is shown to have INCREDIBLE analytical skills. Be it (as canon as it is, I would say it is but others might argue it's not) her figuring out the curses domain early in season 2, her understanding of the Small Pox Deity and more, her comparing Yuji to Kusakabe almost feels like an objective narrator. Like I would say Kusakabe probably is around Yuji's level when he fought Choso which, is pretty damn strong for a Grade 1 if you ask me.
I always felt like Kusakabe is a insanely skilled sorcerer that is just held back by his inner potential and obviously his attitude. I feel like bro has mastered jujutsu as a power system to its max and knows and can executr everything he can know and do, and now has hit his limit that he simply can't surpass due to lack of potential.
that's literally every old gen sorcerer though. They stunt their growth by comparing themselves to Gojo rather than trying to understand Gojo and try to get to that level themselves
If you gave each sorcerer the power to rival Gojo effectively replacing Gojo in JJK, how do you think each sorcerer would use that power? To put it simply, if you gave each sorcerer the same level of power as Gojo while keeping how they are as a character in JJK the same, do you think they’ll do a better job than Gojo at keeping the peace or would they just bring ruin? We all know what’s Geto doing. What’s Mei Mei, Kusekabe, Nanami, Todo, Naobito, Naoya, Mai, Momo, etc doing?
Let's revisit in a couple days when 254 leaks come out. It could place him wayyyy higher, or exactly where he's at lmao. He's either gonna flex on sukuna by not dying instantly, or die instantly.
@@TreyShawn42 when do chapter spoilers/leaks come out? I just caught up to the manga couple days ago after being an anime only and I'm confused of what day the chapters come out and leaks too
Man, I forgot that Nobara hit a black flash early on in the story. That + her OP cursed technique (techniques that work on the soul are generally really strong in the series), makes me realize she was really a genius
Kusakabe simple domain is very useful as he is able to survive attacks that prolly would kill the other grade 1, but I doubt that he has the attacking power of Mei Mei or even Nanami. I agree with you placing him higher tho, he does seem to have more utility in combat, and you can't really use your attacks if you dead.
Mei mei compared him to Shibuya yuji. I think that makes him potent enough when it comes to attacking power, and can see him besting both nanami and mei mei in close combat
Honestly that's debatable. We know the way simple domain works would amp his normal attacks as well as include a guaranteed hit. That would put him at least on the same level as Nanami offensively in my opinion
Nobara just needs 3 nails to cook panda and one strawdoll for mechamaru, if that doesn't work a couple harpins would do the trick I'm not saying panda is bad on one on one or that mechamaru doesn't have the technique but they have very exploitable weaknesses
@@firmanimadDo you mean Eso and Kechizu? In that fight, Yuji had to save her from Eso's Wing King because she objectively couldn't keep up. Nobara's a mid to long range attacker with weak close range, her damage output is incredible only if the conditions for Resonance is met. She basically has conditional hax (like Inumaki, except his are just better) while all her comrades significantly outstat her in every category. In a fight with anyone physically competent like Panda or Mechamaru, she'd get kicked around long before she's able to tag literally anyone with enough fatality to activate Resonance or Hairpin. Base Panda literally spent her entire training arc throwing her around. She got bodied by goddamn Haruta, a guy so featless that beating her is his best feat. Not saying Nobara is complete ass, but she's closer to Utahime, where a 1 v 1 is her worst nightmare. She shouldn't be classed above stronger single threats just because she participated in a fight that she couldn't come close to winning alone. She's an amazing support since she gets time to set up. Clone Mahito is basically just Mahito with basically none of his deadly kit, and I have no idea where to put him cause his performance doesn't scale to anyone but her.
Something I am glad to see is that you didn't include Hakari at all. A lot of people try to argue that he isn't Special Grade, but that's only because he was expelled. He is quite clearly far above the Grade One rank, due to his CT and the fact that he was directly compared to Yuta of all people.
@@nasteay7497 he's not a grade 1 either, he was expelled from jujutsu society and so does not have an official ranking. Remember that the "4 special grades" ranking is a subjective ranking according to the jujutsu higher ups and who they deem as qualified, hence why Kenjaku is not listed as a special grade because they don't know about his existence. So it's very possible that Hakari is on the level of a low special grade, but hasn't been acknowledged by the rankers due to their biases.
@@nasteay7497 oh the irony, that you would say this on a video giving unofficial rankings based on speculation and given evidence. You're complaining about headcanon in a headcanon video.
@@chrislowes870 Exactly. This same society won't even acknowledge that Maki is far stronger than Grade 3, or that Toji would easily be classified as a Special Grade threat -both simply because they don't have any Cursed Energy. The higher ups have always been too rigid in their beliefs.
@@chrislowes870 well he is not a special grade. Im sure before he got suspended, he was atleast grade 1 because of his strenght, And why heck are u comparing hakaris to kenjaku that doesnt even make sense.
@@ahmadketto1586 yuji is above special grade so why u bring him up? And in base alone he fought higurama with no curse energy holding back which implies his base should be around first grade.Then he got another physical amp in base when sukuna left his body and kept up with maki at that point .Then in the timeskip he kept with yuta in his domain,physically amped by curse at fp and by the domain. Sukuna even bring up his reinforcement being highly improved so he physically above special grade .Then he also use Rct ,blood manipulation,soul hax ...if this isn't special grade then I don't know what it is my guy
After the last chapter, Kusakabe deserves an even higher spot on this list. Like, potentially even above Naoya (although that may admittedly be jumping the gun). To defend against Sukuna's slashes in any capacity is absurd.
Nanami reckoned that even an injured Naobito and Maki with Playful cloud would have a good chance of excoricising Dagon in his domain as long as Megumi kept away the sure hit effect.
@@jazzmazz9214"As long as Megumi kept away the sure hit effect" They will all die if not for Toji. They are desperately trying to run for their lives.. That's why Dagon>>> Mahito for me.
@@mayvisgrey6832What? Again, Nanami explicitly stated they actually had a decent chance of beating Dagon if things kept up as they did with Megumi negating the sure hit. However, Megumi was running out of stamina so they had to get out of there before that. Thats the reason why they opted to run. If Megumi's stamina wasn't an issue they wouldn't have run away so quickly.
1. I said thanks for the spoiler alerts.. nothing more 2. I expected to receive spoiler alerts, since he stated he would give them.. and he did…so I am thankful for them, as other TH-camrs include spoilers without warnings 3. Why do you care? I wasn’t talking to you.. why take the time to reply
It's funny, you thought kusikabe was a controversial pick when you made this list. But as of chapter 253, it's stated by Gojo, MeiMei, and nanami, he is the strongest grade 1 around. AND, depending on how 254 goes, this shit might be hype!
Maki’s power up after shibuya arc made her easily my favourite character in the manga, every scene she is in I’m hype for it, and when she trains with that sumo guy and learns from him to get even more powerful it’s soooo good
I have a video idea, I think. What if you give the Six Eyes to every sorcerer? How much improvement or how different applications weaker techniqhes like Mai's or Momo's could be? And technique like Ten Shadows or Blood Manipulation could easily make a sorcerer special grade if they have the Six Eyes.
mai's ct is broken, she basically can construct anything she wants if she has the 6 eyes since she instantly becomes the most efficient curse energy user in the world. And I don't think any upgrade on blood manipulation would make a user of that ct become special grade tbh, it's not a broken enough ability to be one
@@farsous10 there is a way for the six eyes to benefit a blood manipulation user. Choso in his fight with Yuji mentioned that using red scale to harden his body for too long can damage it. If a blood manipulation user has the six eyes they can keep it up or turn it on automatically upon impact without fearing internal damage. It’d be similar to passive infinity in practice, but it can also boost every stats the user has permanently at the same time
@@lynnusuk2092 I wouldn’t doubt it would make the blood manipulation user stronger I just don’t think it would be special grade level, it isn’t exactly a world ending power level
Don’t give Yuta 6 eyes bro lmao Bro already has the 2nd highest amount of cursed energy in the entire series, with the most techniques and an overpowered shikigami, a Domain Expansion, possibly the greatest range of weapons and cursed tools and RCT that he can use *as a weapon* The only other person know to use RCT offensively are Gojo and mahoraga. Can u imagine him buffing up every cursed technique he uses whilst not running out of cursed energy and buffing Rika as well? Not to mention he’s only a year in to his training, stayed to have potential to surpass Gojo, and barely knowledgeable about Jujutsu as a whole. Aside from Mai, (who he can likely copy) he’s definitely doing some damage with the 6 eyes.
Nobara deserves to be higher probably. Remember that she stabbed herself with her nails and threatened a double murder suicide. We know that characters unlock their next level of potential when they are unhinged and ready/accept to die. Like Mahito or Megumi developing Domain Expansions. So given Nobara's natural killer and willing to die instinct, she should've scaled significantly higher in the anime than she actually did.
@@skittleboi1193 There was never an instance in the manga where the jackpot didn't happen though so its believed he kind of rigged his own domain so that he always gets jackpot. The house always wins.
@@skittleboi1193You dont know how Hakari's domain works. Even if his luck is horrible(which it never is), he is bound to his a jackpot by 4th reach scenario. That's the hardest part. After that spamming jackpots is fairly easy.
Really solid list, personally I hold Inumaki a little higher due to having the trump card of glass cannoning a suicide pact 'die' command. We know mei mei's bird's death pact can damage gojo so it is reasonable to assume Inumaki could match. Considering your list doesn't account for Mahoraga (same outcome, dead user), it makes sense how he is positioned. It is pretty fascinating seeing how interacting with mahito in particular affects this list. Amazing vid! edit; Kusakabe stock go up.
Considering Kusakabe's feats I'd actually argue for him to be higher lol. His most recent chapter 246 feat is something Shibuya Yuji or Megumi isn't pulling off.
Nanami is the baseline for every sorcerer that isn’t special grade level. Mei Mei is definitely above Nanami given that she’s above him in physicality (without ratio), Nanami’s best feat is hitting 4 black flashes in one night, but Mei Mei having pretty much infinite crows and Ui; she’s absolutely negging our boy. Kusakabe also has insane scaling because he escaped Maximum Meteor before it even impacted so his speed is definitely god tier for G1.
@@preciousiroanyaalozie2945 Not like she needs mei mei,he is literally gonna just stand there and see nanami get obliterated by a single crow whilst she has a whole murder of them in her arsenal.
@@scienceisthetruth5927 here's what you don't get. Mei Mei has crow attacks that can't be blocked not crow attacks that can't be countered or stopped. If nanami hits any of those crows with his technique, it's gone. And for your info, black bird manipulation takes a lot of concentration which limits the number of crows she can control at a time. Gojo himself stated that he views Nanami as someone who would survive just about any situation and Nanami showed us exactly why Gojo has this perception of him by surviving a domains sure hit effect for sometime, tanking jogo's flames and still taking out some grade two and three transfigured humans before mahito finally took him out. All he has to do is obliterate any crows that are in the area, and take advantage of the lack of concentration to close the distance and we all know who would win in close quarters combat
18:15 Its the reverse. Maximum techniques are scaled above domain expansions and its easily viewable comparing how many characters have a maximum technique vs how many have a DE
When all fruits cost 1.50, and 10 people have apples and 3 people have bananas, it doesn’t make either of them more/less valuable than the other, it just means some chose to buy apples and some chose to buy bananas What I’m getting at is that domains and maximum techniques are both the pinnacle of jujutsu and equal to one another, and just because some people chose not to learn them/didn’t show them off doesn’t mean they’re better than domains There’s probably a good reason why we barely see any maximum techniques, because whenever we do, they never do shit
One thing about megumi though. In a scene Gojo said that someone from the gojo clan once possesed the same powers as he did(infinity etc.) and he said that the same person fought someone from the zenin clan who had the same shikigami technique and both end up fighting however the one from the zenin clan won. Gojo was alluding to the fact that Megumi has the potential to beat Gojo himself. This theory can be proven more with the presence of mahoraga as one of the shikigami he possesses.
what gojo also fails to mention is that the previous user of the six eyes and limitless is severely weaker than current gojo, so full potential megumi is still inferior to gojo
Man I wish people would stop downplaying Nobara for her fight with haruta. People forget that in reality its just super unfortunate to be against haruta when he has miracles stored up and his inherent luckyness overall. Of course you can just entirely overpower that as seen immediately after with nanami but nobara is not nanami. Like you seriously cant tell me that clone mahito is an easier fight than haruta when you see their respective fights against nobara. Sure mahiclone cant use transfiguration on others but just himself is versatile and deadly enough as it is in a fight to be way more dangerous than some normal dude with a walking sword and is pretty lucky.
Idk if mechamoru would fair easily again inumaki, it depends if he mutes the call lol. Cursed speech can be used over the phone as we saw with momo I believe, I wonder if it would apply to mechamaru
Mechamaru should be smart enough to avoid Cursed Speech. If anything it may be easier for him since I don't think Cursed Speech works on non-living things. Mechamaru's puppets may be a perfect counter.
a 1v1 with inumaki would mean inumaki would always lose since curse speech is useless if you see it coming and can defend yourself with ce. Only way for inumaki to win in that case is if his opponent is severely weaker than him in hand 2 hand since that's inumaki's only option at that point if he cant use his ct
I love how you helped the jjk community grow in flush and I love all these power steering videos that you make and I hope you have a nice time with your life and your channel blast off❤
Spoiler for Manga! (Kusukabe scaling) Kusukabe currently has tanked both Maximum Uzumaki *and* Dismantle slashes from Sukuna himself. In the current fight, he has saved Higuruma from death by tanking dismantle slashes for him. He then continued fighting, even slashing at Sukuna while simultaneously tanking another dismantle barrage while Yuji was forced to simply block the dismantles. If Kusukabe wasn't there, the pressure on Sukuna would've been substantially less and Higuruma would've died. Feats very few grade ones would've been capable of. With these recent manga feats in mind, as well as his shibuya feat, it becomes clear that this man is peak grade one territory. Kusukabe, despite how cowardly he is, unironically deserves to be higher on the list. Supreme-Grade one Kusukabe agenda is rising. GOAT
He didnt tank anything, he used simple domain to nullify thz attacks Yuji blocked because unlike kusakabe he cant use simple domain to weaken the attack lmao, yall need to calm down. Also, he litteraly told Yuji to go ahead because he knows he cant keep up with him
Also Spoilers for ch.246: I think the fact that he survived the slashes due to Simple Domain, not just his own durability, and that Sukuna mentions everybody's general CE reinforcements have increased by a lot kind of evens it out for me. I'd probably move him up a bit more but not much.
@@lemillion7929 you speak as tho simple domain outrights negates cursed techniques. If that was the case, Todo would've never lost his arm against Mahito, and Yuki's domain wouldn't have been ripped to pieces within seconds inside of Kenny's domain. And the same would apply to Gojo as his simple domain should not have been destroyed by Sukuna according to that train of thought. And if you watched the video, he quite literally states that Itadori is the second strongest first grade sorcerer behind fully awakened maki.
I'd say that Maki would be closer to a special grade ranking than anything else. Yes, you can take Kenjaku's words into account, but then it still doesn't make sense why Yuta would still be considered a special grade since he can only use Rika for five minutes, and that is obviously not enough time to defeat a country. I think Maki, who technically wouldn't be considered a sorcerer, being on par with Toji who beat Gojo and Geto, who were both considered special grades even in high school, is more than enough reason to place Maki in the special grade tier with Hakari as well(Hakari is potentially stronger than Yuta. Although his jackpot doesn't last quite as long as Yuta's connection to Rika, the fact he can get multiple jack pots in a row, and the fact he is more physically powerful than Yuta by himself is actually a good argument for why he would be stronger than Yuta). Yuta without his connection to Rika still has a massive pool of cursed energy, but thats been shown to be easily depleted if he is forced to use RCT too many times. I think using Gojo's classification that special grades are just "special" speaks better than Kenjaku's country classification, since someone like Yuta doesn't make sense to have that classification currently.
Yutas CT allows him to store a multitude of CT along with rikas blast. Along with his massive amount of CE available for reinforcement, he is easily defeating a nation. Cursed speech, uros technique and much more
Gojo and geto become special grade after gojo defeats toji it is stated that geto was grade 1 when toji defeated him as for gojo I think it wasn't specifically stated which rank he was but as geto was relative to him and he became a special grade after toji was defeated I think they both became special grade after that as for yuta he still has a lot of cursed energy even before using rika it was mentioned that dhruv defeated a big army or something and yuta defeated him pretty easily before fighting everyone in sendai so him with rika and his copy cursed technique is easily a special grade even with partially manifested rika
@@vinayaksharma9270It wasn't stated that Geto was grade 1. It was shown in a small info panel about curse manipulation. Its unknown whether Gojo was considered special grade at that time. Its not unlikely he could have been since he was still regarded as the strongest sorcerer by Toji. Its unclear when they received their promotions. But for Toji, the fact is he wouldn't be ranked as a sorcerer. If he would be ranked it would be a cursed user, of which I think it would still probably be special grade. Like, I'll put it this way. maki and Toji are characters who with their physical abilities alone could easily annihilate the zenin clan, one of the three major families, with little difficulty. The zenin clan is made up of many grade 1 and semi grade 1 sorcerers. In fact, its the clan in the series which lays claim to having the most semi grade 1 or grade 1 caliber fighters in the series. I think that more than qualifies someone like Maki for being considered special grade level. For me, Dhruv isn't a great example. Yes, he did conquer a country 2000 years ago, but I think special grade rank mainly is meant to apply to a modern conventional country. And even in that department, unless you seriously expand the definition of special grade, I don't think that Yuta qualifies for taking out a whole country with Rika who can only be used fully for 5 minutes at a time.
@@jazzmazz9214 i don't know bro yuta could have easily slaughtered the zenin clan and also stolen all of their powers and with all of his cursed energy make those techniques even more powerful and also fighting sukuna with yuji and keeping up with both of them is insane level of physical capability and even before opening his his domain he was able to land hits on both of them and he also partially manifested rika was able to restrain post shibuya yuji pretty easily and defeating choso so easily also naoya in his presence was scared even though he was blitzing both of them the same naoya who was briefly scraping with partially awakened maki and having maki qualify as special grade and yuta don't is a really weird thing to say after all he has shown even before fully manifesting rika also having Jacobs ladder and precognition now I thought you were saying this because you didn't know about about whole sukuna vs yuta and yuji because it was a old comment and I was just correcting you but even after all he has shown putting maki as special grade and yuta not is weird as hell also if it was shown that geto was grade 1 than its even more absurd for you to say after knowing this that you called them special grade and toji defeated them so easily that's just saying that sukuna is weaker than toji because he couldn't defeat special grade sorcers so easily like toji did .
@@vinayaksharma9270 I'm saying that they should both be special grade. I think that Yuta more than qualifies even though I don't think he quite meets the "topple a country" requirement which is incredibly vague. I think that both of them apply for the grade because they are unique cases(though I don't think Maki would be considered a special grade sorcerer purely on technicality). Yuji already had what it took to be considered a special grade cursed spirit back in Shibuya(and was classified as such).
Honestly, I agree with everything you’ve said on this video. You didn’t spread any misinformation about the series and let people know about manga spoilers. You just got another sub😁👍
@@reidj2226 as far as I enjoy the Lobotomy Kaisen memes, he's being mentioned as the strongest Grade 1 sorcerer in flashbacks, MeiMei, Nanami and Gojo all believe he's the strongest non-Special grade sorcerer out there.
@DissConn3cT yeah but sukuna just killed the strongest special grade probably killed the 2nd strongest probably killed maki killed hiruguma so I don't think the strongest grade 1 is doing anything
Ngl if we consider currently, yuji is most likely special grade, he has rct which only a few can use, has the strength gained from eating the other cursed wombs (other than the two he killed and choso), has basically become a cursed object due to that and being soaked in sukuna's cursed energy, has used black flash, has blood manipulation, and a soul that can let him keep up with sukuna, along with his understanding of the soul letting him damage people like he's the soul splitting katana, directly hitting the soul similar to that or idle transfiguration, so you got rct, an ability from a major clan, can directly damage the soul, has used black flash, and has a lot of cursed energy and is a cursed womb.
I feel like you're relying too much on things "showed" instead of told in the plot, does that makes sense? Yaga, for example, was positioned too low. We never see him fight at 100%, and the fact that he only made Panda and not a full army of sentient dolls were his own choice. It might be kinda tough and inconsistent to measure, though.
Itadori should be the most powerful grade 1 or the 2nd cause being able to use reverse curse technique within just a month and sukuna 'blocking' his punches I MEAN LITRALLY and being able to use black flashes at will , just makes it clear just puts him there
As a Nanami fan, i think it stands to perfect reason that Mei Mei outranks Nanami. Nanami's technique just seems like its a technique that has a low skill floor but also low skill ceiling. Compared to Mei Mei which has a lower skill floor but also a much higher ceiling of expression.
Mei Mei's technique is doing nothing against any character higher than the smallpox curse. Even in the most recent chapters, she threw multiple crows which missed, and said ofc it wouldn't faze the monsters of jujutsu. They're trying to imply that maybe she'll hit it soon but I cannot see her doing any damage to the villain at that point. Dealt with one curse with a DE, carried by her brother, and dipped to Malaysia for the rest of the story.
8:44 Nobara inparticularly is especially disadvantaged alone, and when she’s desperate, she doesn’t fight like a megumi or Yuji as soon as she got clocked in the jaw aw shit hit the fan her technical prowess evaporated she just started swinging could never catch my boy megumi or yuji like that what I’m trying to say is she is a perfect example of what Mike Tyson said “Everyone has a plan till they get hit in the jaw” she’s tactical, and very intelligent, however if she gets hit hard she doesn’t reassess her plan. She kind of just breaks down completely and it really is in character with her ego quite a bit as Nobara is an uncomfortably confident character to watch she’s like Gojo but instead, he’s rude and with none of the charm or thoughtfulness Nobara’s weakness is that if she’s ever put under significant pressure she doesn’t reassess her planning you either beat Nobara soundly or she beats you pretty easily there is no in between like between Choso and yuji or Megumi in the finger bearer, or Yuji versus Mahito
Naobito did solo Dagon before Dagon unleashed his domain expansion. Just looking at the manga, Naobito broke through Dagon's water shield all by himself. That said Naoya SHOULD be higher than Naobito because of his domain expansion alone. His domain literally can, in theory, one shot everyone stuck inside of it because no one can manipulate their atoms at 24 fps.
@@zhi1680 Thats correct, but curse naoya and human naoya are practically the same to me tbh. I imagine he would get his DE sooner or later under extreme stress.
@@stevennguyen1586 In that case, we have a relatively straightforward power hierarchy. Cursed Naoya>>>>>>Naobito>=Naoya. Which is the general consensus to begin with lol
I’ve loved Nanami since I started watching the show, and it sucked to see him at #10. I understand that he isn’t the strongest and he knows that. I don’t think he ever tried to become the absolute best. He just wanted to be able to help people, and I’ll take that over top rank any day. 😊 I’m so curious as to what kind of domain expansion he would have if he’d had one. It is odd how some just don’t achieve a domain expansion.
It's clear as day Kamo got much stronger after a mindset change in the manga. I do believe Kusabe and Mei Mei are stronger than Nanami I'd bout Mei Mei as the strongest of the 3. The blocking of the Uzamaki might be a lil wank for two reasons. He probably used simple domain which helps out and the Uzamaki used was only the power of Mahito as he was the only curse Kenjaku used to make it so anyone close to Mahito in power should survive it. P. S. What about Choso he's technically a grade 1. Awakened Maki is special grade. Hakari would be the strongest grade 1. Hidden inventory Gojo and Geto would've been fun to add to the list since they were probably grade 1 or at least Geto was.
Safe to say that current Yuji is #1 grade 1. He has reverse curse technique, simple domain, and 8 consecutive black flashes to add to his belt. Not to mention he tanked malevolent shrine.
considering the fact that gojo mei mei and nanami all consider kusakabe to be the strongest grade one sorcerer i feel it's unfair to rank kusakabe as such because hes only just now about to face sukuna so i dont think we can really say until we see this next chapter, i also disagree with makis rating because that rating nwas based on the anime way more than the manga even though he mentioned her powerup idk how the top 3 hitters of the zenin clan ranked above her when she mopped the floor with them after her sister died
Mei Mei is the strongest grade one due to her feat of being able to fend off child protective services on the daily

The kusakabe being ranked above nanami and mei mei aged extremely well
Was checking out this video just to check Kusakabe rank after the recent chapter lmao
Yep😊😂😂
Kusakabe was hyped up so hard loooool
Ong it did lmao
Insane how we see every Grade One one glaze Kusakabe as hard as we do.
Kusukabe in latest chapters, defending higuruma from sukuna is an unreal feat. He's super underrated.
True
The funny part is that the “spoiler” he was talking about in the video just got released so it doesn't matter
Even defending Miwa from Psuedo-Geto's "Uzumaki" was impressive
lol the chapter also said higuruma used domain amplification
@@ubongakpabio7576that doesn’t weaken the feat. Just says that he can *also* use domain amplification
It's confirmed now that Kusakabe is the strongest Grade 1 sorcerer
Not counting big 3 clan for Gojo and in unknown time period where Hakari and Todo potentially aren't around yet so in terms of accuracy this list and this statement line up pretty nicely overall.
Kusakabe without this statement is outranked here by:
Mechamaru's true form that isn't known by anyone.
Yuji who just joined the organisation.
Megumi and Maki who only got to this level now.
Zenins are part of big 3 clan.
And Todo who as i explained was probably not even there yet.
@@reidj2226 why make that statement if it has no relevance? Aside from as a joke it makes no sense to have it there if it didn’t hold true still. Unless it’s a joke. Exceptions being for yuji and maki. Who weren’t counted in that statement since they aren’t official grade 1 sorcerers. Maki is special grade tier. And yuji may be stronger because if his soul seizing punches.
@@georgec9384 Idk why you're saying it like i made up that statement when original comment and mine refers to latest chapter about Kusakabe being stated in unknown time period but obvious flashback before Yuji coming along and many things changing like Megumi and Maki upgrades.
I just said this video and this latest statement line up pretty nicely because of logical reasons this statement even exists at all.
And Maki isn't special grade or at least i don't see her taking on a country by herself with example Kenjaku gave us about what makes one a special grade sorcerer. Gojo has limitless, Yuki with her black hole, Yuta with Rika cursed spirit and Kenjaku already showcased this potential to take on a country with Geto's ability. Maki has nothing aside from speed.
I'm stoked for chapter 254, no idea what's gonna happen. Him dying fast is a very real possibility tho!
Kusakabe is a weird character to rank because his hacks make him invulnerable to many of the most powerful attacks, but he still loses to physically superior opponents. Like, I'm sure he'd lose to Todo, Naobito/Naoya and maybe even Nanami. But none of them can eat an Uzumaki.
It's confirmed it's kusekabe.
I never really expected that, but here he is the last man standing the strongest grade 1
Actually, its not clear how he compares to the grade 1's from the clan families, but in the school system its kusakabe lol.
@@jazzmazz9214 True but the only one that comes to my mind here would be naobito, I dont know about naoya tho
@@marsmarkNaoya is insanely powerful and well recognized as a capable sorcerer. The reason he isn't considered as fast as Naobito is because Naoya isn't quite as calculating as his pops. In terms of pure ability they are the same.
@@marsmarkAnd by calculating, I mean that Naoya's strategic thinking is worse than Naobito's.
@@jazzmazz9214 People also don't know about Mech Mechanaru, which for sure scales above Kusakabe
Maki can hardly be considered anything less than Special Grade at this point. She took down nearly double digit grade 1 sorcerers simultaneously, while injured, and after having fought dozens of lower grade sorcerers and curses. She later goes on to heal from nearly fatal internal bleeding in less than 5 minutes. That's even before she fully awakened. She's solidly Special Grade at this point, while still not Gojo level.
she's like toji, so she's special grade for sure
the difference between the strongest 1st grade and weakest special grade is prob more than the difference between a grade 4 and grade 1 sorcerer, we're talking about the likes of gojo yuta and kenjaku here and if we're to say maki => toji then she is barely stronger than a teenage gojo which didn't even have his special grade title yet.
Well in this list he was talking pre awakened goodwill maki
@@mahdy2197gojo was a Special grade since childhood
@@DatNoxEditsThat's actually not correct. He got speciql grade status after the Toji event
Im so glad that Kusakabe stocks are up. His defensive showings and general stat buff is insane.
He worries about dying so much, yet tanked a Maximum Uzamaki without a scratch, and only got minor injuries after the Maximum meteor was dropped. I honestly think he could have dealt with Hanami or Dagon mid-diff, as his durability scaling is just that ridiculous, with an anti-domain technique as a bonus. Add the fact that his speed and reaction time would allow him to draw his katana before they could even react, due to his Batto Sword Drawing and the fact that he has enough speed to get away from a maximum meteor less than a second before it hits the ground. It really just comes down to how much damage he could dish out.
@@shadowboi8620okay bro you’re stretching 😭 he’s not mid diffing a disaster curse
Honestly if it's like hanami which we know doesn't really have that much destructive power compared to like jogo then like kusakabe was tanking true form sukunas cleave and dismantle and was confident about surviving plenty more when he said he will be higorumas shield so it's not that far fetched@@ImpatientPlatypus
@@ImpatientPlatypus in the manga rn he showin he could fr
@ImpatientPlatypus Idk man, Kusakabe in the manga just tanked several slashes from Full Power Sukuna with his Simple Domain.
Megumi is such a weird character for this list because his position really fits but if you account for suicide as part of his ranking he could be top of this list easily by summoning Maho.
That would make him special grade, not grade 1

Tbf , her ability made Gojo , Kenjaku and Sukuna dodge . The crow attack is busted fr .
I really don’t think any sorcerer taking bird strike
Now it is due to anime onlues
What I find most impressive about Kusakabe’s Uzumaki feat is that it was powered by Mahito of all characters
That's more of a jab at mahito's state in my opinion
he saved higuruma from sukuna which is even more great of a feat
So to underline and add to the Kusakabe's ranking, since I completely agree. Mei Mei is shown to have INCREDIBLE analytical skills. Be it (as canon as it is, I would say it is but others might argue it's not) her figuring out the curses domain early in season 2, her understanding of the Small Pox Deity and more, her comparing Yuji to Kusakabe almost feels like an objective narrator. Like I would say Kusakabe probably is around Yuji's level when he fought Choso which, is pretty damn strong for a Grade 1 if you ask me.
Errr Mei Mei said herself that Kusukabe is stronger infact he is the strongest grade 1

He reminds me if Obi wan. Like the only reason he is where he is because of his knowledge on curses and curse techniques
Yep and he is the strongest grade 1
Aged like wine
If you gave each sorcerer the power to rival Gojo effectively replacing Gojo in JJK, how do you think each sorcerer would use that power? To put it simply, if you gave each sorcerer the same level of power as Gojo while keeping how they are as a character in JJK the same, do you think they’ll do a better job than Gojo at keeping the peace or would they just bring ruin? We all know what’s Geto doing. What’s Mei Mei, Kusekabe, Nanami, Todo, Naobito, Naoya, Mai, Momo, etc doing?
Mei mei would use a domain expansion bird strike on gojo
Im honestly convinced Mei Mei would just start robbing banks
This is an incredible idea
Just because of the Six Eyes, Gojo would still be at least two steps ahead even if the techniques closened up
What about Yuji and Megumi?

Man, I forgot that Nobara hit a black flash early on in the story. That + her OP cursed technique (techniques that work on the soul are generally really strong in the series), makes me realize she was really a genius
the strongest sorcerer of history vs the strongest sorcerer available
Kusakabe simple domain is very useful as he is able to survive attacks that prolly would kill the other grade 1, but I doubt that he has the attacking power of Mei Mei or even Nanami. I agree with you placing him higher tho, he does seem to have more utility in combat, and you can't really use your attacks if you dead.
He's the Dagon of Grade 1s. He's a proper tank
Mei mei compared him to Shibuya yuji. I think that makes him potent enough when it comes to attacking power, and can see him besting both nanami and mei mei in close combat
Honestly that's debatable. We know the way simple domain works would amp his normal attacks as well as include a guaranteed hit. That would put him at least on the same level as Nanami offensively in my opinion
Nope Nanami said kusukabe stronger than him
He also is confirmed to be the strongest grade 1
I don't think Nanami achieving consecutive black flashes wasn't mentioned, but I do agree that it's a good ranking for him

Got to love how Nobara is ranked above two people who’d fold her in seconds in the form of Panda and Mechamaru
Nobara just needs 3 nails to cook panda and one strawdoll for mechamaru, if that doesn't work a couple harpins would do the trick
I'm not saying panda is bad on one on one or that mechamaru doesn't have the technique but they have very exploitable weaknesses
She did one thing they didn't though: decisively and clearly beat a special curse (Eso & Kechizu). Even though it was in a 2v2 with Yuji.
@@firmanimadThat mahito clone might as well be considered an above average human considering that it couldn’t transfigure
@@airplanes_aren.t_realThey would overwhelm her before she even gets the chance to do anything
@@firmanimadDo you mean Eso and Kechizu? In that fight, Yuji had to save her from Eso's Wing King because she objectively couldn't keep up.
Nobara's a mid to long range attacker with weak close range, her damage output is incredible only if the conditions for Resonance is met. She basically has conditional hax (like Inumaki, except his are just better) while all her comrades significantly outstat her in every category.
In a fight with anyone physically competent like Panda or Mechamaru, she'd get kicked around long before she's able to tag literally anyone with enough fatality to activate Resonance or Hairpin. Base Panda literally spent her entire training arc throwing her around. She got bodied by goddamn Haruta, a guy so featless that beating her is his best feat.
Not saying Nobara is complete ass, but she's closer to Utahime, where a 1 v 1 is her worst nightmare. She shouldn't be classed above stronger single threats just because she participated in a fight that she couldn't come close to winning alone. She's an amazing support since she gets time to set up.
Clone Mahito is basically just Mahito with basically none of his deadly kit, and I have no idea where to put him cause his performance doesn't scale to anyone but her.
Something I am glad to see is that you didn't include Hakari at all. A lot of people try to argue that he isn't Special Grade, but that's only because he was expelled. He is quite clearly far above the Grade One rank, due to his CT and the fact that he was directly compared to Yuta of all people.
He is grade 1. There's only 4 special grade. You'll gotta stop making ur own headcanon.
@@nasteay7497 he's not a grade 1 either, he was expelled from jujutsu society and so does not have an official ranking. Remember that the "4 special grades" ranking is a subjective ranking according to the jujutsu higher ups and who they deem as qualified, hence why Kenjaku is not listed as a special grade because they don't know about his existence. So it's very possible that Hakari is on the level of a low special grade, but hasn't been acknowledged by the rankers due to their biases.
@@nasteay7497 oh the irony, that you would say this on a video giving unofficial rankings based on speculation and given evidence. You're complaining about headcanon in a headcanon video.
@@chrislowes870 Exactly. This same society won't even acknowledge that Maki is far stronger than Grade 3, or that Toji would easily be classified as a Special Grade threat -both simply because they don't have any Cursed Energy. The higher ups have always been too rigid in their beliefs.

In the latest chapter, there’s a flashback where someone asks gojo, meimei, and nanami who the strongest grade 1 sorcerer is and they all say kusukabe
Maki’s power up after shibuya arc made her easily my favourite character in the manga, every scene she is in I’m hype for it, and when she trains with that sumo guy and learns from him to get even more powerful it’s soooo good

Kusakabe is the strongest Grade 1 sorcerer.

The strongest versus the strongest one(standing currently)
Strongest one in history vs strongest one available
I have a video idea, I think. What if you give the Six Eyes to every sorcerer? How much improvement or how different applications weaker techniqhes like Mai's or Momo's could be? And technique like Ten Shadows or Blood Manipulation could easily make a sorcerer special grade if they have the Six Eyes.
Ooh every character having six eyes would be super cool, similar to his "full potential" vids
mai's ct is broken, she basically can construct anything she wants if she has the 6 eyes since she instantly becomes the most efficient curse energy user in the world. And I don't think any upgrade on blood manipulation would make a user of that ct become special grade tbh, it's not a broken enough ability to be one
@@farsous10 there is a way for the six eyes to benefit a blood manipulation user. Choso in his fight with Yuji mentioned that using red scale to harden his body for too long can damage it. If a blood manipulation user has the six eyes they can keep it up or turn it on automatically upon impact without fearing internal damage. It’d be similar to passive infinity in practice, but it can also boost every stats the user has permanently at the same time
@@lynnusuk2092 I wouldn’t doubt it would make the blood manipulation user stronger I just don’t think it would be special grade level, it isn’t exactly a world ending power level
Don’t give Yuta 6 eyes bro lmao
Bro already has the 2nd highest amount of cursed energy in the entire series, with the most techniques and an overpowered shikigami, a Domain Expansion, possibly the greatest range of weapons and cursed tools and RCT that he can use *as a weapon*
The only other person know to use RCT offensively are Gojo and mahoraga.
Can u imagine him buffing up every cursed technique he uses whilst not running out of cursed energy and buffing Rika as well?
Not to mention he’s only a year in to his training, stayed to have potential to surpass Gojo, and barely knowledgeable about Jujutsu as a whole.
Aside from Mai, (who he can likely copy) he’s definitely doing some damage with the 6 eyes.
18:30 We don't need to skip because in the last episode of shibuya we see Kusakabe doing that

Nobara deserves to be higher probably. Remember that she stabbed herself with her nails and threatened a double murder suicide. We know that characters unlock their next level of potential when they are unhinged and ready/accept to die. Like Mahito or Megumi developing Domain Expansions. So given Nobara's natural killer and willing to die instinct, she should've scaled significantly higher in the anime than she actually did.
Awaken Maki and Hakari might as well be promoted to Special Grade at this point
Right pretty sure they can take an entire nation by this point, if that's still the qualification for Special Grade.
Hakari is way too hit or miss for special grade considering it only takes a little bad luck for his domain to be useless

Really solid list, personally I hold Inumaki a little higher due to having the trump card of glass cannoning a suicide pact 'die' command. We know mei mei's bird's death pact can damage gojo so it is reasonable to assume Inumaki could match. Considering your list doesn't account for Mahoraga (same outcome, dead user), it makes sense how he is positioned.

@@preciousiroanyaalozie2945 Not like she needs mei mei,he is literally gonna just stand there and see nanami get obliterated by a single crow whilst she has a whole murder of them in her arsenal.
@@scienceisthetruth5927 here's what you don't get. Mei Mei has crow attacks that can't be blocked not crow attacks that can't be countered or stopped. If nanami hits any of those crows with his technique, it's gone. And for your info, black bird manipulation takes a lot of concentration which limits the number of crows she can control at a time. Gojo himself stated that he views Nanami as someone who would survive just about any situation and Nanami showed us exactly why Gojo has this perception of him by surviving a domains sure hit effect for sometime, tanking jogo's flames and still taking out some grade two and three transfigured humans before mahito finally took him out. All he has to do is obliterate any crows that are in the area, and take advantage of the lack of concentration to close the distance and we all know who would win in close quarters combat
bro tweakin
tweaking harder than choso 😭
Yo hero never expected to see you here 😂
Hero?!

@herodw maybe u could explain ???
With all the new feats in the manga I’d love to see an updated version of this video 🔥
18:15 Its the reverse. Maximum techniques are scaled above domain expansions and its easily viewable comparing how many characters have a maximum technique vs how many have a DE
"Apart from domains, maximum techniques are cursed techniques' supreme arts" - read it again carefully.
When all fruits cost 1.50, and 10 people have apples and 3 people have bananas, it doesn’t make either of them more/less valuable than the other, it just means some chose to buy apples and some chose to buy bananas
What I’m getting at is that domains and maximum techniques are both the pinnacle of jujutsu and equal to one another, and just because some people chose not to learn them/didn’t show them off doesn’t mean they’re better than domains
There’s probably a good reason why we barely see any maximum techniques, because whenever we do, they never do shit
One thing about megumi though. In a scene Gojo said that someone from the gojo clan once possesed the same powers as he did(infinity etc.) and he said that the same person fought someone from the zenin clan who had the same shikigami technique and both end up fighting however the one from the zenin clan won. Gojo was alluding to the fact that Megumi has the potential to beat Gojo himself. This theory can be proven more with the presence of mahoraga as one of the shikigami he possesses.
what gojo also fails to mention is that the previous user of the six eyes and limitless is severely weaker than current gojo, so full potential megumi is still inferior to gojo
the zenin clan guy didn't win , they ended up both killing themselves and the gojo clan member , which basically implies that they used Mahoraga .
@@farsous10 He is replying to the actual comment, as the comment stated that the Zen’in family won when they didn’t,
@@farsous10They are at the same level wtf you on about
@@LordStarcore ? I’m talking about gojo compared to the previous limitless users. They are objectively not on the same level lol what
Man I wish people would stop downplaying Nobara for her fight with haruta. People forget that in reality its just super unfortunate to be against haruta when he has miracles stored up and his inherent luckyness overall. Of course you can just entirely overpower that as seen immediately after with nanami but nobara is not nanami. Like you seriously cant tell me that clone mahito is an easier fight than haruta when you see their respective fights against nobara. Sure mahiclone cant use transfiguration on others but just himself is versatile and deadly enough as it is in a fight to be way more dangerous than some normal dude with a walking sword and is pretty lucky.
Idk if mechamoru would fair easily again inumaki, it depends if he mutes the call lol. Cursed speech can be used over the phone as we saw with momo I believe, I wonder if it would apply to mechamaru
Mechamaru should be smart enough to avoid Cursed Speech. If anything it may be easier for him since I don't think Cursed Speech works on non-living things.
Mechamaru's puppets may be a perfect counter.
a 1v1 with inumaki would mean inumaki would always lose since curse speech is useless if you see it coming and can defend yourself with ce. Only way for inumaki to win in that case is if his opponent is severely weaker than him in hand 2 hand since that's inumaki's only option at that point if he cant use his ct
Really big fan of you just adding a timestamp to skip any spoilers from the manga!
I love how you helped the jjk community grow in flush and I love all these power steering videos that you make and I hope you have a nice time with your life and your channel blast off❤
Spoiler for Manga! (Kusukabe scaling)
Kusukabe currently has tanked both Maximum Uzumaki *and* Dismantle slashes from Sukuna himself. In the current fight, he has saved Higuruma from death by tanking dismantle slashes for him. He then continued fighting, even slashing at Sukuna while simultaneously tanking another dismantle barrage while Yuji was forced to simply block the dismantles. If Kusukabe wasn't there, the pressure on Sukuna would've been substantially less and Higuruma would've died. Feats very few grade ones would've been capable of. With these recent manga feats in mind, as well as his shibuya feat, it becomes clear that this man is peak grade one territory.
Kusukabe, despite how cowardly he is, unironically deserves to be higher on the list. Supreme-Grade one Kusukabe agenda is rising. GOAT
Bro have 0 reasons to be a coward
He didnt tank anything, he used simple domain to nullify thz attacks
Yuji blocked because unlike kusakabe he cant use simple domain to weaken the attack lmao, yall need to calm down.
Also, he litteraly told Yuji to go ahead because he knows he cant keep up with him
Also Spoilers for ch.246:
I think the fact that he survived the slashes due to Simple Domain, not just his own durability, and that Sukuna mentions everybody's general CE reinforcements have increased by a lot kind of evens it out for me.
I'd probably move him up a bit more but not much.
@@lemillion7929 you speak as tho simple domain outrights negates cursed techniques. If that was the case, Todo would've never lost his arm against Mahito, and Yuki's domain wouldn't have been ripped to pieces within seconds inside of Kenny's domain. And the same would apply to Gojo as his simple domain should not have been destroyed by Sukuna according to that train of thought. And if you watched the video, he quite literally states that Itadori is the second strongest first grade sorcerer behind fully awakened maki.
@@seiba6942 it doesnt matter lol, comparing him to Yuji is crazy. Yuji actually tanked the attack, Kusakabe didnt
I'd say that Maki would be closer to a special grade ranking than anything else. Yes, you can take Kenjaku's words into account, but then it still doesn't make sense why Yuta would still be considered a special grade since he can only use Rika for five minutes, and that is obviously not enough time to defeat a country. I think Maki, who technically wouldn't be considered a sorcerer, being on par with Toji who beat Gojo and Geto, who were both considered special grades even in high school, is more than enough reason to place Maki in the special grade tier with Hakari as well(Hakari is potentially stronger than Yuta. Although his jackpot doesn't last quite as long as Yuta's connection to Rika, the fact he can get multiple jack pots in a row, and the fact he is more physically powerful than Yuta by himself is actually a good argument for why he would be stronger than Yuta). Yuta without his connection to Rika still has a massive pool of cursed energy, but thats been shown to be easily depleted if he is forced to use RCT too many times.
I think using Gojo's classification that special grades are just "special" speaks better than Kenjaku's country classification, since someone like Yuta doesn't make sense to have that classification currently.
Yutas CT allows him to store a multitude of CT along with rikas blast. Along with his massive amount of CE available for reinforcement, he is easily defeating a nation. Cursed speech, uros technique and much more
Gojo and geto become special grade after gojo defeats toji it is stated that geto was grade 1 when toji defeated him as for gojo I think it wasn't specifically stated which rank he was but as geto was relative to him and he became a special grade after toji was defeated I think they both became special grade after that as for yuta he still has a lot of cursed energy even before using rika it was mentioned that dhruv defeated a big army or something and yuta defeated him pretty easily before fighting everyone in sendai so him with rika and his copy cursed technique is easily a special grade even with partially manifested rika
@@vinayaksharma9270It wasn't stated that Geto was grade 1. It was shown in a small info panel about curse manipulation.
Its unknown whether Gojo was considered special grade at that time. Its not unlikely he could have been since he was still regarded as the strongest sorcerer by Toji. Its unclear when they received their promotions.
But for Toji, the fact is he wouldn't be ranked as a sorcerer. If he would be ranked it would be a cursed user, of which I think it would still probably be special grade.
Like, I'll put it this way. maki and Toji are characters who with their physical abilities alone could easily annihilate the zenin clan, one of the three major families, with little difficulty. The zenin clan is made up of many grade 1 and semi grade 1 sorcerers. In fact, its the clan in the series which lays claim to having the most semi grade 1 or grade 1 caliber fighters in the series.
I think that more than qualifies someone like Maki for being considered special grade level.
For me, Dhruv isn't a great example. Yes, he did conquer a country 2000 years ago, but I think special grade rank mainly is meant to apply to a modern conventional country. And even in that department, unless you seriously expand the definition of special grade, I don't think that Yuta qualifies for taking out a whole country with Rika who can only be used fully for 5 minutes at a time.
@@jazzmazz9214 i don't know bro yuta could have easily slaughtered the zenin clan and also stolen all of their powers and with all of his cursed energy make those techniques even more powerful and also fighting sukuna with yuji and keeping up with both of them is insane level of physical capability and even before opening his his domain he was able to land hits on both of them and he also partially manifested rika was able to restrain post shibuya yuji pretty easily and defeating choso so easily also naoya in his presence was scared even though he was blitzing both of them the same naoya who was briefly scraping with partially awakened maki and having maki qualify as special grade and yuta don't is a really weird thing to say after all he has shown even before fully manifesting rika also having Jacobs ladder and precognition now I thought you were saying this because you didn't know about about whole sukuna vs yuta and yuji because it was a old comment and I was just correcting you but even after all he has shown putting maki as special grade and yuta not is weird as hell also if it was shown that geto was grade 1 than its even more absurd for you to say after knowing this that you called them special grade and toji defeated them so easily that's just saying that sukuna is weaker than toji because he couldn't defeat special grade sorcers so easily like toji did .
@@vinayaksharma9270 I'm saying that they should both be special grade. I think that Yuta more than qualifies even though I don't think he quite meets the "topple a country" requirement which is incredibly vague.
I think that both of them apply for the grade because they are unique cases(though I don't think Maki would be considered a special grade sorcerer purely on technicality).
Yuji already had what it took to be considered a special grade cursed spirit back in Shibuya(and was classified as such).
Yuji being #6 in the rankings has aged like milk lmao
With the new chapter release, Yuji must be the number one now, considering his RCT, Simple Domain, Blood Manipulation and The Shrine.
Honestly, I agree with everything you’ve said on this video. You didn’t spread any misinformation about the series and let people know about manga spoilers. You just got another sub😁👍
Kusakabe is also in the mix boxing with sukuna right now and he is able to with stand his slashes with simple domain
So I only came here to say [chapter 253 spoilers ahead]
.
.
.
.
Kusakabe is now canonically confirmed THE STRONGEST grade 1 sorcerer out there.
He bouta save the Jujutsu Society next chapter! He's the GOAT!
The strongest sorcerer... available 💀
@@reidj2226 as far as I enjoy the Lobotomy Kaisen memes, he's being mentioned as the strongest Grade 1 sorcerer in flashbacks, MeiMei, Nanami and Gojo all believe he's the strongest non-Special grade sorcerer out there.
@DissConn3cT yeah but sukuna just killed the strongest special grade probably killed the 2nd strongest probably killed maki killed hiruguma so I don't think the strongest grade 1 is doing anything
with the recent chapter maybe kusakabe is even higher lmao
Ngl if we consider currently, yuji is most likely special grade, he has rct which only a few can use, has the strength gained from eating the other cursed wombs (other than the two he killed and choso), has basically become a cursed object due to that and being soaked in sukuna's cursed energy, has used black flash, has blood manipulation, and a soul that can let him keep up with sukuna, along with his understanding of the soul letting him damage people like he's the soul splitting katana, directly hitting the soul similar to that or idle transfiguration, so you got rct, an ability from a major clan, can directly damage the soul, has used black flash, and has a lot of cursed energy and is a cursed womb.
Great video, in my personal opinion i think it's the more precisse top, you literally took everything into consideration.
Maybe you could do combinations of grade 1s vs each of the respective disaster curses
They stomp.yuji and todo alone can give each of them a fight
@@plantgang8738I think that them vs jogo would be absolutely godly but them vs dagon is kinda boring
@@plantgang8738 bruh what about domain expansions
I feel like you're relying too much on things "showed" instead of told in the plot, does that makes sense? Yaga, for example, was positioned too low. We never see him fight at 100%, and the fact that he only made Panda and not a full army of sentient dolls were his own choice. It might be kinda tough and inconsistent to measure, though.
He said in the video he would rank higher if he had batman prep time. I agree with his ranking
Todo should not be on this list because my goat is a special grade
You had no idea how right you were about kusakabe
Itadori should be the most powerful grade 1 or the 2nd cause being able to use reverse curse technique within just a month and sukuna 'blocking' his punches I MEAN LITRALLY and being able to use black flashes at will , just makes it clear just puts him there
Yuji is not able to use black flash at will. He was just so in the zone against Mahito that you'd think he could
this was made before he learned rct, and he can’t use black flash at will
Kusakabe might jump up at the top now with his recent showings against Sukuna.
As a Nanami fan, i think it stands to perfect reason that Mei Mei outranks Nanami. Nanami's technique just seems like its a technique that has a low skill floor but also low skill ceiling. Compared to Mei Mei which has a lower skill floor but also a much higher ceiling of expression.
Mei Mei's technique is doing nothing against any character higher than the smallpox curse. Even in the most recent chapters, she threw multiple crows which missed, and said ofc it wouldn't faze the monsters of jujutsu. They're trying to imply that maybe she'll hit it soon but I cannot see her doing any damage to the villain at that point.
Dealt with one curse with a DE, carried by her brother, and dipped to Malaysia for the rest of the story.
Nanami was throwing hands with Mahito,
I think Mei Mei can never do this
Bro it just got confirmed kusakabe is the strongest
Bro it came out 2 months ago
“Megumi is levelheaded.”
Also Megumi: “Welp I’m losing, time to kill everything in a ten mile radius.”
8:44 Nobara inparticularly is especially disadvantaged alone, and when she’s desperate, she doesn’t fight like a megumi or Yuji as soon as she got clocked in the jaw aw shit hit the fan her technical prowess evaporated she just started swinging could never catch my boy megumi or yuji like that what I’m trying to say is she is a perfect example of what Mike Tyson said “Everyone has a plan till they get hit in the jaw” she’s tactical, and very intelligent, however if she gets hit hard she doesn’t reassess her plan. She kind of just breaks down completely and it really is in character with her ego quite a bit as Nobara is an uncomfortably confident character to watch she’s like Gojo but instead, he’s rude and with none of the charm or thoughtfulness Nobara’s weakness is that if she’s ever put under significant pressure she doesn’t reassess her planning you either beat Nobara soundly or she beats you pretty easily there is no in between like between Choso and yuji or Megumi in the finger bearer, or Yuji versus Mahito
Naobito did solo Dagon before Dagon unleashed his domain expansion. Just looking at the manga, Naobito broke through Dagon's water shield all by himself. That said Naoya SHOULD be higher than Naobito because of his domain expansion alone. His domain literally can, in theory, one shot everyone stuck inside of it because no one can manipulate their atoms at 24 fps.
If i recall. He only got domain expansion in cursed spirit form. So this list wouldn’t be taken that into account
@@zhi1680yep naoya at that point should be special grade
@@zhi1680 I feel like naoya was too prideful to throw it out rather than a not having it situation
@@zhi1680 Thats correct, but curse naoya and human naoya are practically the same to me tbh. I imagine he would get his DE sooner or later under extreme stress.
@@stevennguyen1586 In that case, we have a relatively straightforward power hierarchy. Cursed Naoya>>>>>>Naobito>=Naoya. Which is the general consensus to begin with lol
Breaking news: kusakabe is nr1 confirmed by mei mei, nanami and gojo!
Nanami still nr1 in my heart tho
I’ve loved Nanami since I started watching the show, and it sucked to see him at #10. I understand that he isn’t the strongest and he knows that. I don’t think he ever tried to become the absolute best. He just wanted to be able to help people, and I’ll take that over top rank any day. 😊
I’m so curious as to what kind of domain expansion he would have if he’d had one. It is odd how some just don’t achieve a domain expansion.
first vid on this channel I’ve seen…instant sub loved your analysis and I look forward to watching more vids
Sick video man, agree with pretty much everything
Your last person to comment before the new chapter came out

Putting megumi and todo above kusakabe is not it dude. Kusakabe has been confirmed the strongest grade 1 not including the big 3 families
30:46 Toji is only as fast as 3 finger Sukuna as confirmed by Megumi and the author, please stop glazing him
Just don't forget that toji was ordered to fight the strongest around, and he went for megumi instead of anyone else there
"Potential man" strikes again lol.
It's clear as day Kamo got much stronger after a mindset change in the manga. I do believe Kusabe and Mei Mei are stronger than Nanami I'd bout Mei Mei as the strongest of the 3. The blocking of the Uzamaki might be a lil wank for two reasons. He probably used simple domain which helps out and the Uzamaki used was only the power of Mahito as he was the only curse Kenjaku used to make it so anyone close to Mahito in power should survive it.
P. S. What about Choso he's technically a grade 1. Awakened Maki is special grade. Hakari would be the strongest grade 1. Hidden inventory Gojo and Geto would've been fun to add to the list since they were probably grade 1 or at least Geto was.
Yeah the newest Chapter says its Kusakabe minus the big families
“Unblockable drumming beat is indeed, blockable as hell” was so funny to me for no reason😭😭😭
Safe to say that current Yuji is #1 grade 1. He has reverse curse technique, simple domain, and 8 consecutive black flashes to add to his belt. Not to mention he tanked malevolent shrine.
“Feetless”
No she’s not, I’m quite knowledgeable about the topic
considering the fact that gojo mei mei and nanami all consider kusakabe to be the strongest grade one sorcerer i feel it's unfair to rank kusakabe as such because hes only just now about to face sukuna so i dont think we can really say until we see this next chapter, i also disagree with makis rating because that rating nwas based on the anime way more than the manga even though he mentioned her powerup idk how the top 3 hitters of the zenin clan ranked above her when she mopped the floor with them after her sister died
Maki in current manga is special grade level and kusakabe is strongest grade 1
