A Chronological List of Every Death in Jujutsu Kaisen, Sorted by Arc
Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Cursed Child Arc
Rika Orimoto
The initial death in the Jujutsu Kaisen series takes place in the prequel arc, known as Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Rika Orimoto, who is Yuta Okkotsu’s closest companion, tragically meets her demise in an accident. As a result, Yuta unintentionally curses her, causing her soul to transform into a cursed spirit. Therefore, Rika’s death serves as the first in the Jujutsu Kaisen storyline.
Geto Suguru
In the prequel arc, Suguru Geto, who was Gojo’s closest companion, meets his demise, making him the second character to die in Jujutsu Kaisen. This occurs during the night parade of 100 demons at Tokyo Jujutsu High, where he confronts Yuta and Rika, and is ultimately defeated by Yuta.
Fearsome Womb Arc
Itadori left
The initial death in the primary Jujutsu Kaisen storyline is that of Wasuke Itadori, the grandfather of the main character, Yuji Itadori. The story opens with Yuji visiting his ailing grandfather in the hospital, where Wasuke ultimately succumbs to natural causes. In his last words to Yuji, Wasuke urges him to show kindness and compassion so he doesn’t end up living a solitary and unfulfilled life like himself.
Vs. Mahito Arc
Yoshino Nagi
Despite forming close bonds with Yuji, Nagi Yoshino, the mother of Junpei, becomes the second character to pass away in the show. Sadly, her life was tragically cut short by the special-grade cursed spirit, Mahito. It is believed that Mahito left one of Sukuna’s fingers near Nagi while she was asleep, attracting cursed spirits that ultimately caused her demise. While her death is not depicted on screen, it is reported that her body was found with its lower half missing. This serves as another heartbreaking loss in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Junpei Yoshino
During the Vs. Mahito Arc, Junpei Yoshino plays a crucial role in the story. He develops a strong friendship with Yuji, which makes his demise incredibly heartbreaking for Yuji. Unfortunately, Junpei becomes a victim of Mahito’s manipulation and is ultimately discarded as a mere tool in Mahito’s plans. This tragic death deeply affects Yuji and strengthens his determination to continue fighting against curses.
Death Painting Arc
Eso and Kechizu: Brothers in Curses

During this same arc, a tragic turn of events led to the demise of Yu Haibara. Haibara was a classmate of Kento Nanami at Tokyo Jujutsu High and a junior to Gojo and Geto. He lost his life during a mission when a miscalculation of the curse’s grade proved fatal. Haibara and Nanami had been assigned the task of subduing what they thought was a grade 2 curse, but it turned out to be a grade 1 instead. The mission concluded in tragedy with the death of Haibara.
Shibuya Incident Arc
Kokichi Muta (Mechamaru)
During the Shibuya Incident Arc, the death toll in Jujutsu Kaisen reached its highest point with the first casualty being Kokichi Muta, also known as Mechamaru.

In Shibuya, Dagon, a Special grade curse, was faced by Maki Zen’in, Naobito Zen’in, and Nanami. The fight was later joined by Megumi, and the reincarnated Toji appeared and easily exorcised Dagon, thus becoming the next Jujutsu Kaisen death.
Mimiko and Nanako Hasaba – Identical Twin Sisters
The next death in Jujutsu Kaisen involves Mimiko and Nanako Hasaba, who were viciously murdered by Sukuna after bringing him back to life. In a desperate attempt to stop Pseudo-Geto, they gave Sukuna one of his fingers and asked him to eliminate him, which ultimately angered Sukuna and resulted in him killing them both.
15) Game
Despite ongoing losses, the death toll in Jujutsu Kaisen rises as the special-grade curse Jogo falls in a fierce showdown against Sukuna. In a climactic clash, Sukuna utilized his fire Cursed Technique, Fuga/Open, to exorcise Jogo and bring an end to one of the arc’s most intense confrontations.
Shibuya Massacre
During the confrontation between Sukuna and Mahoraga, the strongest shikigami of the Ten Shadows Cursed Technique was exorcised by Sukuna. Additionally, his domain expansion, Malevolent Shrine, resulted in the deaths of hundreds of individuals in Shibuya who happened to be within the boundaries of the barrier.
Haruta Shigemo
Following the Shibuya massacre, Sukuna took down Haruta Shigemo. At first, Sukuna deceived the curse user into thinking he could get away, but then ruthlessly cut his face in half as he tried to escape, making him the next victim of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Kento Nanami
Despite the numerous deaths in Jujutsu Kaisen, the passing of Kento Nanami was particularly heartbreaking for both Yuji and the fans. Despite surviving the intense flames of Jogo, Nanami is met with a horde of transfigured humans created by Mahito. Despite his injuries, he bravely defeats them all. However, his valiant efforts are ultimately futile as Mahito confronts him and cruelly transfigures his upper body, leaving Yuji to witness the tragic event.
Nobara Kugisaki (Unconfirmed)
Even though there is no confirmation of Nobara Kugisaki’s death in Jujutsu Kaisen, her absence has caused speculation among fans. It is possible that she did not survive her encounter with Mahito, as she has not been seen since he used his Idle Transfiguration on her. However, until the series officially confirms her fate, it remains uncertain.
It will be done
The final death to occur in the Shibuya Arc of Jujutsu Kaisen is that of Mahito, who is saved from Yuji by Pseudo-Geto. However, this rescue was not an act of kindness, as Pseudo-Geto ultimately consumes Mahito, resulting in the demise of one of the most despised antagonists in the series.
