10/10 Maki Zenin Vs The Zenin Clan

Have you ever see someone walk into their own house and burn it all down on purpose? That’s exactly what Maki Zenin did when she returned to face the Zenin Clan. After losing her sister, Mai, in the most heartbreaking way, Maki unlocked a new level of strength. She didn’t hold back, not even a little.

She tore through the entire Zenin Clan, including some of the strongest members, like it was nothing. Her movements were calm, but every hit landed like a thunderclap. It was a total reset of everything the Zenin Clan stood for. Honestly, it's one of the best fights in Jujutsu Kaisen for how deeply personal it was.

9/10 Kinji Hakari Vs Hajime Kashimo

Have you ever seen a fight where a guy basically refuses to die, over and over again? That’s Kinji Hakari for you. Kashimo came in swinging with his electric Cursed Energy, ready to fry anyone in his way. But Hakari? He kept hitting the jackpot on his Idle Death Gamble and healing himself instantly, like some kind of invincible gambler.

The craziest part? Hakari knew he was getting hurt, but he just smiled through it, using the pain like fuel. Every time he got injured, his body fixed itself in 4.11 seconds, just enough time for him to keep fighting at full power. It turned into a contest of who could outlast the other.

8/10 Yuji & Nobara Vs Eso & Kechizu

These two Cursed Womb brothers weren’t just gross to look at, they were deadly. They used a scary technique called Decay that started melting Yuji’s and Nobara’s bodies from the inside. But instead of panicking, Nobara smiled and used her hairpin technique to hurt them back using their own cursed link.

This fight showed how perfectly Yuji and Nobara work as a team. While Yuji kept Kechizu busy with his fists, Nobara hit herself with her own technique just to hurt the enemy. Wild, right? It ended with both Cursed brothers being defeated in one of the most stylish and intense double kills in the series.

7/10 Yuji Itadori Vs Mahito

This battle was more personal to Yuji than any other in the series. Mahito was the one who took down everyone Yuji cared about. First it was Junpei, then Nanami, and later even Nobara. Yuji had been holding in all that pain, and now he was finally ready to let it all out.

Out of all the best fights in Jujutsu Kaisen, this one hit the hardest emotionally. Mahito kept changing forms and using tricks, but Yuji just kept pushing forward. When Yuji finally overpowered him, it was satisfying in a way fans had been waiting for since season one. Justice had been served, and it felt good.

6/10 Yuji Itadori & Aoi Todo Vs Hanami

This is the fight where Yuji truly leveled up. Teaming up with the unpredictable Aoi Todo, they faced off against Hanami during the Kyoto Goodwill Event. While the bromance between Yuji and Todo added humor, the fight itself was serious business.

Yuji's Black Flash moments were epic, and the choreography of their tag-team attacks was top-tier. The best part was the unexpected humor mid-battle, like when Toda asked Yuji what kind of woman he was into, out of nowhere. That said, Hanami was no joke, making it a tough and exciting battle.

5/10 Satoru Gojo Vs Toji Fushiguro

Toji is the man who took down Gojo. Sounds impossible, right? But during the Hidden Inventory arc, this non-Sorcerer beast did just that. Using speed, strategy, and his Cursed Tools, Toji managed to outsmart Gojo.

Of course, Gojo came back stronger and finished the job. But seeing Gojo actually lose once made this fight feel special. While the rematch was chilling, Toji’s final words, “Take care of Megumi," stole the show. After all, he was a great dad who made some bad choices.

4/10 Sukuna Vs Jogo

Jogo thought he stood a chance - he really did. But Sukuna made it clear that there was a huge gap between them. This fight was like watching a cat play with a mouse - only the cat could also shoot fire and level cities. Sukuna's confidence was a full display, challenging Jogo to just put a scratch on him, and in return, he would become his subordinate.

Sukuna's fire technique was wild, and his calm attitude made things even scarier. One of the coolest parts was how he let Jogo feel proud for a second, and the next moment, he turned him to a crisp.

3/10 Yuji Vs Choso

This battle proved that not even the bathrooms of Shibuya were safe in the Shibuya Incident Arc. Choso, a half-curse, attacks Yuji to avenge his brothers. Using Blood Manipulation, he turns the sink water pink and shoots spikes like a horror movie villain. Yuji counters his attacks by punching harder.

But this battle ended in a way that it changed the whole plot of the series. Choso suddenly hallucinates Yuji as his brother mid-fight, sparing him. If it wasn't for these memories, Choso would have turned our poor Yuji into mincemeat. Definitely one of the best fights in Jujutsu Kaisen.

2/10 Sukuna Vs Mahoraga

This fight showed how dangerous Sukuna truly is. Mahoraga is a shikigami that can adapt to anything, and no one has ever beaten it before. But Sukuna? He turned it into ashes like it was nothing. Especially when Sukuna pulled out the fire attack from nowhere, it was not just Mahoraga, but the fans were also caught off guard.

This battle was short but terrifying. Sukuna used his Domain in a clever way, slicing Mahoraga over and over until it couldn't adapt anymore. It was scary, brutal, and showed why Sukuna is one of the top anime villains.

1/10 Satoru Gojo Vs Ryomen Sukuna

This fight was hyped from the start, and when it finally happened, it did not disappoint. When Gojo, the strongest Sorcerer, faced Sukuna, the King of Curses, it was not just power vs power, but an ego vs ego battle. You could feel the tension before the first punch was thrown.

Their Domain Expansions, the way they countered each other's moves, and the destruction they caused was insane. It felt like watching two gods fight. And when Gojo got injured? Fans everywhere held their breath. Definitely the biggest and most intense fight in the show.
