Sukuna is arguably the most powerful character in Jujutsu Kaisen and here are some of his most powerful abilities.
The various character arcs in the story progressed considerably, and with that some characters cemented their favorite spots while others fell out of favor. Here are 10 of the most popular JJK characters based on the 4th popularity poll.
10 Toji Fushiguro
Wizard killer
Toji Fushiguro is definitely one of the most popular characters and a popular antagonist in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. In the current Jujutsu Kaisen timeline, Toji, Megumi's father, is already dead. He was the antagonist during the Gojo's Past arc.
Like Maki, she has no cursed energy. However, this does not stop him from being insanely powerful, as he nearly killed Gojo before his eventual defeat. Toji was even brought back during Shibuya before he killed himself when he saw his son Megumi. Despite how long ago he was relevant in the story, 10th place isn't bad at all.
9 Sukuna
King of curses
Sukuna is the most powerful wizard who ever lived and was the main villain in Jujutsu Kaisen. Sukuna is known as the King of Curses, and for good reason. His power was so incredible that it took most of the cast to finally take him down.
Despite being the main villain, Sukuna only ends up in 9th place, a position that is quite low for a character as important and relevant as he is. Sukuna doesn't seem to be that popular and with his death it's unlikely that fans will like him anymore.
8 Nanami
A first class wizard
Nanami is the character who lost her life against Mahita during the Shibuya events. Before that, however, he played an important role as Yuji's mentor and was overall a very popular character among fans.
He finished in 8th place, which is a well-deserved spot for a good character who died a few arcs ago.
7 Yuta Okkotsu
A wizard second only to Gojo
Yuta, the protagonist of JJK 0, made it to 7th place in the poll, a place that may actually seem quite low given the major role he played in the story, especially against Sukun.
Yuta was easily one of the main fighters to help take down the Curse King, Sukun, and his abilities are definitely some of the best in the show.
6 Choso
The most powerful image of death
Choso finishes in 6th place, which is quite a high position. Still, there is a staggering gap between him and 5th place.
Choso is a widely popular character JJK because he is Yuji's brother and plays an interesting role in some parts of the story. Specifically, Cho's sacrifice to protect Yuji was able to touch many fans.
5 Naoya Zenin
Zen's Prodigy
Naoya Zenin is the weirdest character on this list. Naoya is a character who is defeated by Maki Zenin and dies before the Culling Game. He returns as a vengeful ghost and is once again exorcised by Maki. Nevertheless, Japanese JJK readers seem to have taken a liking to this rather unsympathetic character.

Showdown Shinjuku is a very intense arc with major deaths in JJK.
In fact, Naoya had almost double the votes of Choso, who finished in 6th place. His high ranking in the JJK polls is nothing new and still confuses the JJK readers, especially since Maki is nowhere in the top 10.
4 Suguru Geto
Goya's best friend
Suguru Geto is a fan favorite despite being dead for most of the story and only seen alive in an arc that covers Gojo's past, as well as JJK 0where he plays the role of the main villain.
Suguru was definitely one of the more interesting characters the show had to offer, especially with his relationship with Gojo and his ideals. He won a good 4th, making him the most popular antagonist in JJK's story.
3 Megumi Fushiguro
One Of The Main Characters
Megumi Fushiguro is a character who maintains great popularity despite being absent from a significant part of the final story arc. Megumi's body was taken over by Sukuna and after that he did not participate in any fight against Sukuna.
Megumi has always been a very popular character and has won several previous popularity polls. Megumi's character was never fully utilized, which is quite a shame and disappointment for his fans.
2 Yuji Itadori
JJK's main character
In second place, the main character of the series, Yuji, is gaining popularity among fans. Yuji was way ahead compared to the third place character, Megumi, who had about 20,000 more votes. This is the first time since the first JJK popularity poll that Yuji has defeated Megumi.
Perhaps this is due to his involvement in the final arc, where he is a heavy hitter against Sukun, as well as Megumi's absence from the story.
1 Gojo Satoru
The most powerful modern wizard
Unsurprisingly, the one who came out on top in this popularity poll was none other than Gojo Satoru, a man so powerful that he almost managed to take down Sukuna single-handedly.
Gojo is the most powerful modern wizard and has stolen the hearts of many fans with his incredible strength and charming personality. He wins by a landslide, with more than double Yuji's votes. His death definitely affected the fans the most, readers are still hoping for his comeback.
