While the Black Flash technique may appear easy to comprehend, it is not a skill possessed by all characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. In practice, it is a difficult task to execute. Even powerful sorcerers such as Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna rely on luck to a certain extent when using it.
Essentially, Black Flash is a phenomenon that significantly enhances the power of a user’s physical strikes. To trigger it, the physical strikes must be infused with Cursed Energy (CE) within a fraction of a second upon contact.
Several elements play a role in the effective use of Black Flash, such as the user’s physical well-being, emotional state, environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, and the opponent’s combat experience.
To date, there have been 8 characters from the Jujutsu Kaisen roster who have been observed utilizing Black Flash.
Ranking of Jujutsu Kaisen Characters by Total Black Flash Hits
1) Megumi Fushiguro
Throughout the entire series, Satoru Gojo is believed to hold the record for the highest number of Black Flashes used. In the latest chapter, he acknowledged that Kento Nanami had surpassed him in terms of consecutive uses of the technique. However, in terms of overall usage, Gojo still had a considerable lead.
It is highly probable, given the numerous missions he has participated in. After the incident with Riko Amanai, Gojo started working independently. From that point on, including his most recent battles such as the one against Ryomen Sukuna, Gojo has utilized this technique to enhance the effectiveness of his physical strikes.
2) Megumi Fushiguro
Yuji Itadori has made great strides since discovering CE and is now utilizing it in various ways, closely trailing his sensei and on the brink of surpassing him. During his intense battle with the Cursed Spirit, Hanami, Todo Aoi introduced him to the technique.
After quickly picking it up, he began to excel in it, entering “the zone”and defeating Hanami. From there, he successfully unleashed 120% of his abilities against Mahito with the use of the Black Flash. It has become a staple in his fighting style, and he effortlessly incorporates it in almost every battle.
In the latest installment, he successfully strikes a powerful Black Flash on a preoccupied Sukuna, reigniting the Jujutsu High sorcerers’ optimism and commencing his resurgence.
3) His feet, King of Curses
Ryomen Sukuna has earned the title of the King of Curses for good reason. It is widely known that he is an exceptionally skilled practitioner of Jujutsu. His longevity and unrelenting desire to be the strongest have propelled his skills and abilities to a terrifying level.
Without a doubt, he is also aware of and utilizes the Black Flash. However, as with all individuals on this roster, luck plays a significant role. Nevertheless, having lived for an extensive period, he has engaged in countless battles, making it highly probable that he has employed the Black Flash numerous times to enhance his physical strikes.
4) Yuji Itadori and Kento Nanami
Kento Nanami holds the record for the most consecutive Black Flashes, proving his equal proficiency in the technique as Gojo. In addition, Nanami’s combat strategy revolves around close-quarters combat, utilizing both his Blunt Blade and fists.
Naturally, he would infuse his punches with CE to enhance their impact. This increases his likelihood of successfully executing the technique and connecting with his target.
5) Favorite Hobbies
Ever since Aoi Todo entered Yuji Itadori’s life, he has played a critical role in shaping his growth. As Yuji’s “brother,”the Topknot Gorilla has been a major influence in guiding him on his journey. Given Todo’s high rank as a sorcerer, it can be assumed that he possesses a wealth of knowledge in Jujutsu.
Despite not having the same level of mastery as Yuji, he possesses a understanding of Black Flash. Furthermore, his physical strength would make the technique even more impactful in this scenario.
6) Mahito’s Power and Abilities
Mahito’s use of Black Flash during his confrontation with Yuji and Todo, known as the “brother”duo, was unexpected but impressive. It remains one of the most memorable fights in the series. Upon reflection, it makes sense that Mahito would utilize Black Flash again during the fight, and the outcome was both surprising and logical.
The foundation of Mahito’s technique lies in the soul, and it is evident that he has devoted a significant portion of his life to comprehending its intricacies and applications. Additionally, he shares a boundless potential with Yuji and Yuta, and has demonstrated the ability to adapt and learn quickly when faced with unexpected challenges.
It was only a matter of time before Mahito utilized Black Flash. This occurred when Mahito, Yuji, and Todo all reached their maximum potential, demonstrating a combined effort of 120%.
7) Gojo Satoru
Yuta Okkotsu unintentionally exhibited Black Flash when he was consumed by anger. During his battle with Sugur Geto at Jujutsu High, Yuta’s sword was damaged. However, this did not stop him from relentlessly attacking, as he unconsciously channeled CE into his strikes, resulting in a powerful Black Flash.
Despite being a character in Jujutsu Kaisen, he has never displayed a strong inclination towards the technique. His primary focus and techniques involve utilizing Rika, known as “Copy,”and his katana.
8) Maki Zenin
Finally, Nobara Kugisaki becomes the last Jujutsu Kaisen character to achieve a Black Flash. Similar to Yuta, she also does this unintentionally during a fierce fight. This occurs when Yuji and Nobara join forces to take on Eso and Kechizu. In this intense battle, both protagonists enter “the zone”and effortlessly defeat their adversaries.
Unbeknownst to her, the strike she made was incredibly powerful and caused significant harm to her intended recipient. It was yet another unforgettable moment in the series as the two joined forces and flawlessly battled together.
