What If Toji Fushiguro Had Cursed Energy In Jujutsu Kaisen?

Imagine Toji Fushiguro had Cursed Energy. Just typing that feels dangerous. In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, Toji is already a legend, a man who shook the foundations of the Jujutsu world without a drop of Cursed Energy. Known as the “Sorcerer Killer,” he relies on raw physical power, insane reflexes, and Cursed Tools to hunt the strongest Sorcerers. But what if he did have Cursed Energy? Would he become an unstoppable force, or would the balance of power in Jujutsu Kaisen stay the same?

Toji’s lack of Cursed Energy isn’t a weakness, it’s a trade-off. Thanks to his Heavenly Restriction, he gave up all Cursed Energy for superhuman strength, speed, and senses. This makes him invisible to Sorcerers’ detection and lets him fight on pure instinct. But Cursed Energy is the fuel for Jujutsu techniques, Domain Expansions, and healing. If Toji had it, could he dominate the series’ biggest threats like Sukuna or Gojo? Let’s explore.

Toji’s Existing Power: A Monster Without Cursed Energy

Before asking “what if,” let’s appreciate Toji Fushiguro as he is. His Heavenly Restriction turns him into a physical freak. He moves faster than the eye can track, punches holes in Cursed Spirits, and outsmarts geniuses like Gojo and Geto. In the Hidden Inventory arc, he killed Gojo (before his revival) and crushed Geto’s spirits like toys, all without Cursed Energy.

Toji’s greatest weapon is his unpredictability. Since he has no Cursed Energy, sorcerers can’t sense him. He sneaks up on enemies, uses Cursed Tools like the Inverted Spear of Heaven (which disrupts Cursed Techniques), and fights dirty. His battle IQ is off the charts. He doesn’t need flashy techniques because his body is the technique.

Cursed Energy: What Would It Add To Toji Fushiguro's Arsenal?

Now, imagine Toji Fushiguro had Cursed Energy. First, he could use Jujutsu techniques. Maybe he’d inherit the Zenin clan’s Ten Shadows technique (like Megumi) or develop a unique ability. Cursed Energy would also boost his physical attacks further, think Yuji Itadori’s Black Flash but with Toji’s insane strength.

He could also heal himself using Reverse Cursed Technique. Remember when Toji died from his injuries after fighting Gojo? With Cursed Energy, he might’ve survived. Plus, he could use Domain Expansions, the ultimate Jujutsu move. A Domain from Toji would be terrifying, trapping enemies in a space where his physical powers and Cursed Techniques combine.

But here’s the catch: Toji’s stealth advantage comes from having no Cursed Energy. If he gained it, sorcerers like Gojo could sense him coming. Still, his newfound powers might outweigh that loss.

The Trade-Off: Would He Lose His Heavenly Restriction?

This is the big question. In Jujutsu Kaisen, Heavenly Restrictions are binding vows. Toji’s body is a result of a fair trade: no Cursed Energy for unmatched physicality. If he suddenly had Cursed Energy, would his body weaken? The series suggests yes, it’s a zero-sum game. For example, Mechamaru gained Cursed Energy by sacrificing his health.

If Toji kept his Heavenly Restriction and gained Cursed Energy, it’d break the rules. But in this hypothetical scenario, let’s say he cheats the system. His strength stays the same, and he gets Cursed Energy. Now he’s a hybrid: a super-soldier with Cursed Techniques. He could overwhelm opponents with speed, then finish them with a Domain. Even Sukuna might raise an eyebrow.

Final Verdict: Toji Fushiguro With Cursed Energy = Unbeatable?

If Toji had Cursed Energy without losing his physical gifts, he’d easily be a top-tier character. Think about it: he already beat the strongest Sorcerers of his era. Add cursed techniques, healing, and a Domain, and he’s a nightmare. He could rival Sukuna in close combat and outsmart Kenjaku in strategy.

But let’s be real; Jujutsu Kaisen’s power system doesn’t work that way. Heavenly Restrictions can’t be hacked. Toji’s strength exists because he has no Cursed Energy. The series loves balance, and Toji’s “flaw” is what makes him special. Giving him Cursed Energy would ruin what makes him iconic: a regular human who terrifies the supernatural.
