About cursed technique names

Cursed techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen are named with a deliberate flatness. Gege Akutami reaches for plain, almost bureaucratic words and lets the horror come from what they do: Limitless, Construction, Copy, Ratio Technique, Idle Transfiguration, Comedian, Inverse. A technique name is usually a noun or a noun phrase of one to three words, sometimes with the word Technique or Manipulation attached (Straw Doll Technique, Blood Manipulation, Cursed Spirit Manipulation). The flashier names are reserved for extensions and maximum outputs, where the register shifts to dramatic compound phrases: Hollow Purple, Piercing Blood, Maximum: Uzumaki, Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing.

A few other conventions run through the canon. Clan techniques describe a mechanic (Ten Shadows, Projection Sorcery). Cursed spirits born from human fear get Disaster names (Flames, Tides, Plants). Curses and sorcerers tied to Buddhist lore get Sanskrit or sutra vocabulary, which is why Domain Expansions sound like temple names. And some of the best modern-era names are pure pop-culture or gambling slang: Boogie Woogie, Love Rendezvous, Private Pure Love Train, Idle Death Gamble.

This generator mixes canon techniques with original names built from the same logic: mundane words with a sinister second meaning, extension-style Maximum and Lapse variants, yokai and Shinto references, and a handful of romaji so the list reads like the manga's own glossary.

How to choose cursed technique names

  • Name the mechanic, not the vibe. Jujutsu Kaisen techniques describe what they do in one or two flat words; a name like Debt Collector or Staircase Paradox says more than Dark Eternal Flame ever could.
  • Save drama for the extension. Keep the base technique plain, then give its strongest application a name with Maximum:, Lapse:, Reversal: or Imaginary Technique: in front.
  • Pick an interpretation your technique can grow into. Ratio Technique became Collapse; Ten Shadows became Mahoraga. A name with a hidden second reading gives you a late-story reveal.
  • If your OC is from a clan, give the technique a numeric or classical name like the Zenin and Kamo families; if they are a modern delinquent or gambler, lean into slang and gambling words like Hakari and Kirara.
  • Pair the technique with a Binding Vow or a condition, and name the condition too; the name plus the restriction is what makes a JJK ability feel complete.

Frequently asked questions

How are cursed techniques named in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Mostly with short, ordinary nouns: Limitless, Construction, Copy, Comedian, Ratio Technique, Cursed Speech. The name describes the core rule of the technique, and the dramatic names belong to extensions and maximum outputs such as Hollow Purple, Piercing Blood and Maximum: Uzumaki. Domain Expansions get separate, temple-like names.

Can I use these names for a JJK OC or fanfic?

Yes. Roughly a quarter of the list is canon for reference and the rest are original techniques built on the same naming logic, so you can give an OC a technique that sits next to Ten Shadows or Idle Transfiguration without copying an existing character.

What is the difference between a cursed technique, an extension and a Domain Expansion?

The cursed technique is the innate ability (Limitless). Extension techniques and maximum outputs are named applications of it (Blue, Red, Hollow Purple). A Domain Expansion is the technique's barrier form with a sure-hit effect (Unlimited Void) and follows its own Buddhist-flavoured naming style, which is why we keep it in a separate domain expansion generator.

Why are some names in Japanese?

Many fans know techniques by their romaji names from the manga: Mukagen (Limitless), Jushiki (Ten Shadows), Jugon (Cursed Speech), Ryoiki Tenkai (Domain Expansion). The list includes a few of these plus original names drawn from yokai and Shinto vocabulary, such as Shimenawa Bind and Tsukumogami Wake, for a more Japanese-flavoured OC.
