10 Best Jujutsu Kaisen Quotes of All Time, Ranked

Please be aware that this article contains spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen has become incredibly popular, and continues to attract fans even after the main story concluded over a year ago. The series is well-known for its intricate power system and exciting fight scenes, but it also offers a surprisingly complex and meaningful story. The world of Jujutsu Kaisen is damaged and filled with hardship, where negative human emotions create curses that prey on people, leading to thousands of disappearances annually in Japan. While jujutsu sorcerers fight these curses, there aren’t nearly enough of them, and they often struggle against these powerful monsters.

Adding to the danger, even people with special abilities sometimes side with the forces of evil. Throughout its run, Jujutsu Kaisen has delved into the complicated feelings, hardships, and sacrifices humans face, and explored questions of right and wrong, and what it costs to follow your beliefs. These ten quotes from Jujutsu Kaisen perfectly capture the show’s central themes and give us a deeper understanding of its characters.

10) I Want to Do Something to Treat the Cause (Season 2 Episode 5)

Unlike the other characters, Yuki actively sought a moral solution to end the curse cycle. She didn’t simply follow Jujutsu High’s instructions; instead, she traveled extensively, researching the origins of curses. Yuki believed that lasting peace was impossible as long as curses continued to exist, perpetuating a never-ending cycle of pain.

I disagree with how Jujutsu High handles things. They’re only dealing with the problems as they appear, and I want to address the root cause. Instead of just fighting cursed spirits, I want to build a world where they don’t even exist in the first place.

– Yuki Tsukumo

Despite seeming unrealistic, her beliefs were fascinating and different from those of Kenjaku, a major antagonist. During a past storyline, she shared these thoughts with Geto, who favored a more violent approach to solving the problem and ultimately left school.

9) Do You Believe People Have Hearts? (Season 1 Episode 10)

I’ve always found Mahito to be the most complex villain in the series, though he often gets overshadowed by Sukuna’s overwhelming presence. Before his death during the Shibuya Incident, he really made you think, raising some surprisingly deep philosophical questions and sharing his unique views on what souls and hearts actually are. Considering he was a brand new curse who suddenly gained a ton of power, it’s not surprising he came across as immature, and honestly, a bit sadistic at times.

Do people really have hearts? I don’t think so. We have souls instead, and souls aren’t the same as hearts. I’m unique because I understand exactly what souls are made of. I can even change living things just by touching them. Emotions aren’t about feelings in the heart; they’re created by how the soul functions – it’s all very logical and natural, not romantic like a ‘heart’ would suggest.

– Mahito

He consistently looked down on others, enjoying their pain and treating them like playthings. His unique ability allowed him to see and control souls, making him incredibly powerful. Because of how his technique worked, he couldn’t perceive people’s inner selves or emotions, leading him to believe that feelings didn’t matter – not in others, and even not in himself. Though ultimately proven incorrect, this belief clearly showed how little he valued life and the emotions of others.

8) It’s Not Good Enough For Just Me to Be Strong (Season 2 Episode 5)

Riko Amanai’s death deeply affected both Gojo and Geto, but they reacted in contrasting ways. Geto gradually fell into despair, while Gojo pushed himself to become even stronger, determined not to let anyone else down. Looking back, Gojo regretted not recognizing how much Geto was suffering during their school days. By the time he understood, Geto had already committed terrible acts, including harming his own family, and had left school. After a painful confrontation, Gojo accepted that he couldn’t save his friend, and their relationship was irrevocably broken.

Teacher, I’ve become strong, but it seems that’s not enough. I can only help those who are already on the path to helping themselves.

– Satoru Gojo

It was then he understood that even with his strength, he couldn’t save everyone. He realized he didn’t need to become more powerful himself, but rather to find strong allies to help rebuild the shattered world. This realization led him to become a jujutsu instructor, dedicated to building a better future for the next generation.

7) Let’s Do It Again (Chapter 268)

The fight against Sukuna was incredibly difficult and cost many lives, including those of Gojo and Choso. Ultimately, the sorcerers were able to save Megumi from Sukuna’s control, which sealed Sukuna’s fate. Even though Sukuna caused him immense pain, Yuji still offered him compassion, believing no one deserved to carry such a terrible curse.

“Sukuna, you are me. We were born with the burden of a curse, and the monster you became was up to luck. But I had my grandfather. Sukuna, let’s do it again. Not to curse someone, but to live with someone. Even if no one else accepts it, I’m willing to go on living with you.”

– Yuji Itadori

Yuji felt a little sorry for Sukuna, recognizing a bit of himself in the villain. He wondered if Sukuna might have made different choices if he’d had a supportive figure like Yuji’s grandfather. Yuji was willing to accept Sukuna and live alongside him, even if it meant opposing everyone else. But Sukuna’s strong pride wouldn’t let him do that, and he preferred to die rather than exist in a world where he felt out of place.

6) If There’s a Next Time, I’ll Change How I Live (Chapter 271)

Abandoned at birth, Sukuna lived a life defined by his own rules, refusing to apologize for who he was. People feared him not just for his immense power, but also for his selfish and often cruel behavior. Despite his pride in his strength and preference for fighting alone, he was ultimately defeated through the combined efforts of others. After death, Mahito’s cursed technique brought him to a sort of in-between place where they met.

I had the power to decide my own fate, and I was given two opportunities to do so. However, I felt compelled to get rid of a deeply troubling burden within me. I feared being destroyed by it. If I ever get another chance, I will live differently.

– Ryomen Sukuna

Sukuna finally admitted he could have lived a different life, but he’d made his own choices. Ultimately, he even grew to fear what he’d become, saying he’d choose a different path if given the chance. He departed for the afterlife with Uraume, accepting his loss with dignity, which left Mahito devastated and completely alone.

5) I Think I’ll Live For Others (Chapter 268)

While Megumi wasn’t a central fighter in the final battle, his importance stemmed from being Sukuna’s unwilling host. Sukuna had mentally crushed him, leaving him unable to resist. Throughout the fight, Megumi was overwhelmed by grief over his sister Tsumiki’s death, but he also felt compelled to respond to Yuji’s desperate attempts to reach him.

I never sought a typical life. I realize there’s a whole world of people beyond myself, and I’ve decided to dedicate my life to helping them.

– Megumi Fushiguro

Sukuna desperately tried to control Megumi, but Megumi was determined to live for the sake of others. It’s heartbreaking that even at the very end, his motivation wasn’t self-preservation, but rather wanting to help those around him – especially considering he originally became a sorcerer to protect his sister.

4) I Want to Be Needed By Someone (Jujutsu Kaisen 0)

Yuta Okkotsu unknowingly possessed an incredible power that surfaced after a tragedy. When his childhood friend died in a car accident, Yuta desperately wished she hadn’t, which unintentionally turned her into a powerful spirit. Now, Rika remains by his side as a curse, often harming others in an attempt to keep him safe. Overwhelmed with grief, Yuta isolated himself and even attempted suicide, but Rika wouldn’t let him.

I just want this to stop – I don’t want anyone else to suffer. I initially tried to isolate myself, to just vanish, but people told me being alone isn’t healthy, and I realized they were right. I crave connection; I want to feel like I matter to someone. More than anything, I want to be able to confidently accept my own existence.

– Yuta Okkotsu

After Maki questioned his reasons for attending Jujutsu High, Gojo confessed he’d been lonely his whole life and deserved to live just like everyone else. This heartfelt admission spurred Yuta to push himself to the limit and rescue Maki and two children who had been consumed by a formidable curse.

3) No Curse More Twisted Than Love (Jujutsu Kaisen 0)

Love is a deeply important emotion in Jujutsu Kaisen, and the series explores it in many forms, not just romantic ones. After a battle, Yuta reveals to Gojo that he was the one who cursed Rika, something he’d long thought was false. Gojo’s comment that love is a twisted curse applies both to Yuta’s experience and to his own personal struggles.

“This is just my personal theory, but there’s no curse more twisted than love.”

– Satoru Gojo

I watched Yuta wrestle with his emotions for a long time. It was strange, though – no matter what Geto did, Gojo just couldn’t seem to hate him. They were incredibly close, best friends really, and Gojo often said Geto was the only person who truly got him.

2) Are You the Strongest Because You’re Satoru Gojo? (Season 2 Episode 5)

Soon after leaving Jujutsu High, Geto met with Shoko and admitted the accusations against him were true. Shoko shared his location with Gojo, and the two former partners reunited, but now as enemies. Gojo was stunned to hear Geto’s plan to eliminate all non-sorcerers, telling him it was an unachievable goal.

So, you’re capable of doing this, aren’t you, Satoru? But you’d try to tell others it can’t be done, even though you can? Is it because you’re Satoru Gojo that you’re so powerful? Or did becoming the strongest make you Satoru Gojo?

– Suguru Geto

Geto, sounding both frustrated and a little jealous, questioned why Gojo was telling him something couldn’t be done when Gojo himself was clearly capable of it. He then asked Gojo if his power was something he was born with – a core part of who he was – or if he’d become strong through his own efforts and decisions. This is a well-known and insightful line from the series, but its meaning is actually quite straightforward.

1) I Am You (Season 2 Episode 21)

Mahito enjoyed tormenting Yuji, both physically and emotionally, and Yuji often struggled to win against him. When Mahito unleashed chaos in Shibuya, he killed over a thousand people, including the beloved Kento Nanami, and severely wounded Nobara Kugisaki. He planned to kill Yuji too, leaving Yuji feeling defeated. But with support from Aoi Todo, Yuji regained his determination and continued to fight.

Okay, Mahito, I understand now. You and I are the same, and I was trying to deny that. I wanted to ignore what you said, but things have changed. I’m going to destroy you. And if you ever come back as another curse, I’ll destroy you again.

– Yuji Itadori

In the end, Yuji trapped the villain and realized Mahito had a point. They were similar – both casually took lives, one of humans and the other of curses. But instead of dwelling on the meaning of it all, Yuji accepted his purpose: to be a relentless fighter. He vowed to continue destroying cursed spirits until the day he died.
