Jujutsu Kaisen: The best female characters on the show
Female characters can sometimes be left out in shonen anime, but Jujutsu Kaisen does these women justice.
Not every wizard or curse can use Domain Expansion, but those who do have some unique and fascinating ones. However, there are a fair share of characters in the series who have confirmed that they can use it, but never had the chance to do so. This is quite unfortunate as there is a lot of potential in their undisclosed barrier techniques that they were never able to fully display.
5 Megumi Fushiguro (Full Version)
The Chimera Shadow Garden remained incomplete until the end
- First Appearance: Chapter 1 (Manga) Episode 1 (Anime)
Oddly enough, Megumi Fushiguro it actually revealed its domain expansion during the Death Painting Arc, and its name is Chimera Shadow Garden. However, he immediately stated that it was incomplete and that he still needed to master it before he could unleash the full potential of the technique.
Megumi unleashed Chimera Shadow Garden a few more times, with her fight against Reggie Star featuring one of her most memorable uses. But the streak ended before he had a chance to complete it. Even Ryomen Sukuna was unable to complete this domain expansion when he took over Megumi's body as he preferred to continue using his Malevolent Shrine.
The incomplete Chimera Shadow Garden allowed Megumi to fill the area with shadows that she could use to summon multiple Shikigami at the same time. This is already a pretty useful range expansion, so the full version has the potential to become one of the strongest in the entire series, especially if Megumi could use it in conjunction with her strongest shikigami, Mahoraga.
4 Hanami
Gojo exorcised this cursed spirit before they had a chance to use it
- First Appearance: Chapter 10 (Manga) Episode 5 (Anime)
All four Special Grade Cursed Spirits had the ability to use Domain Expansion: Jogo, Dagon, and Mahito had some really powerful ones, but unfortunately Hanami they never had a chance to display their own domain expansion before their demise. They tried to use it in the fight against Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo, but were interrupted by Satoru Gojo before it could be activated. The same wizard later exorcised them during the Shibuya Incident Arc.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 6 characters who can defeat Mahoraga
These JJK characters could defeat the divine general Mahoraga.
Hanami was a particularly powerful cursed spirit who specialized in using flowers and plants to fight, so their expansion could have been both unique and powerful. What's particularly fascinating is that Gege Akutami described how he imagines it would have worked, and this description was later borrowed by the mobile game. Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, which features Hanami as an enemy character who can use Domain Expansion. Its name is Bright Sea of Growing Branches and it allows them to summon a beautiful field of flowers where their solar beam will always strike their opponents. However, Ghost Parade it's 100% non-canon extra material, so there's no certainty that expanding Hanami's domain would have worked that way in the manga.
3 Ryu Ishigori
A powerful wizard incarnate with destructive powers
- First Appearance: Chapter 173 (Manga)
Ryu Ishigori is a powerful sorcerer from 400 years in the past who was incarnated by Kenjaku to make him participate in the Culling Game. In the middle of a group battle against both Yuta Okkotsu and Takako Uro, he called out his Domain Expansion alongside them, but the simultaneous unstable barriers canceled each other out.
Later in the Culling Game, Ryu was killed by Sukuna before he could properly display his domain expansion, leaving fans to wonder what he actually looked like and how he would have enhanced his innate Cursed techniques, Cursed Energy Dispatch and Granite Blast. .
Ryu was all about powerful raw power, as he could shoot beams of cursed concentrated energy from his cannon-like pompadour, though his main weakness was that these beams were relatively easy to avoid. So his undisclosed domain extension had the potential to be the most useful tool in his arsenal, especially if it allowed him to automatically hit anyone caught in it with multiple hits of his devastating Granite Blast.
2 Takako Uro
A member of the Fujiwara clan with a cursed technique
- First Appearance: Chapter 173 (Manga)
Takako Uro she was still an incarnate sorcerer who participated in the Culling Games, and her domain expansion was also shattered when she tried to use it at the same time as Yuta and Ryu. This is rather unfortunate, as Takako had some fascinating credentials, seeing as she was part of the Sun, Moon and Star Team of the mysterious Fujiwara clan.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 6 Reasons Why It Should Have a Sequel or Spinoff
Here are some reasons why the Jujutsu Kaisen series deserves a spin off or sequel.
On top of that, Takako's Innate Cursed Technique was among the most creative in the series. Known simply as Sky Manipulation, it allows him to “grab” parts of the atmosphere as if it were an object, which he can use to levitate, defend himself, and even attack opponents with a crushing attack called Thin Ice Breaker. Although Takako was not killed like Ryu Ishigori, she was never seen again after her failed attempt to use Domain Expansion. Considering how strange and yet unique her cursed technique is, it's extremely likely that her range expansion was just as crazy, not to mention that it would have allowed her to use Thin Ice Breaker without missing ever.
1 Yuki Tsukumo
A domain expansion with the potential to be on par with Gojo and Yuta
- First Appearance: Chapter 50 (Manga) Episode 20 (Anime)
This is without a doubt the most disappointing unseen domain expansion of all Jujutsu Kaisenbecause Yuki Tsukumo he was one of four special grade jujutsu wizards, but failed to activate his ultimate technique before the end of the series. She confirmed that she could use Domain Expansion before her fight against Kenjaku, but was killed by the same villain before she could do so.
With Gojo's Unlimited Void and Yuta's Authentic Mutual Love being two of the most practical and powerful domain expansions in the series, it's safe to assume that Yuki's would have been part of this prestigious group as well. So his omission from the manga was met with much disappointment by fans.
Yuki's Innate Cursed Technique, Star Rageit allows her to add virtual mass to herself and her personal shikigami, Garuda, to strengthen all of her physical attacks. Furthermore, expanding her range would have let her add even more mass and perhaps even alter the gravity of the trapped area so that her opponents could not move. Most fans hope that they will one day get to expand Yuki's domain, especially if Gege Akutami decides to make another story set in this world.
