Summary
Jujutsu Kaisenhas become one of the most popular animes of modern times thanks to its enthralling narrative and,in particular, its vast cast of characters. Although Yuji Itadori, Satoru Gojo, and Mugumi Fushiguro often take the spotlight as the main characters, the show has a variety of characters that add depth and another dimension to the story.
As is often the case, characters get sidelined by more popular individuals despite many characters inJujutsu Kaisenoffering value. As a result, certain characters are underrated and underappreciated despite bringing a unique element to the show, such as being badass, funny, or even reliable.

7Kasumi Miwa
Kyoto Second-Year Student
InJujutsu Kaisen,Miwais one of the Kyoto Jujutsu High School students. Although not the strongest, Miwa makes up for it with her joyful and kind attitude towards others. Despite many of the Kyoto students seemingly having nasty streaks in them, Miwa differentiates herself from the pack as she strives for kindness, not trouble. When the Kyoto students are ordered to kill Yuji at the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event, Miwa initially does not want to follow their orders.
In contrast, the rest of the group obediently follows the orders, much to Miwa’s dismay and frustration. Miwa’s thoughts and opinions regarding Yuji show that Miwa has a more considerate heart than her classmates.
6Jogo
Special Grade Curse
Throughout the show,Jogohas been a prominent villain, with several battles to his name. As a special grade curse, Jogo is immensely powerful,being one of the strongest curses around. Jogo is one of the few characters who has fought Gojo and Sukuna, the strongest individuals in the jujutsu world. Although unsuccessful, the accomplishment of going toe-to-toe with the pair is a challenging feat to achieve.
Jogo’s power is severely above what most sorcerers and curses can achieve, with Jogo defeating Maki, Nanami, and Naobito (whom many consider strong Jujutsu Sorcerers) within seconds.
5Utahime

Along with all the chaos a teacher endures, Utahime also has to put up with Gojo, who infuriates Utahime unlike anyone else.
Utahime is also responsible for discovering the mole among the Kyoto students, which was revealed to be Mechamaru. Utahime has been ever-present throughoutJujutsu Kaisen, bringing constant value and support to others to help Jujutsu Sorcerers.

Later in the Shibuya arc, Akari is targeted alongside other auxiliary managers by Haruta Shigemo, a curse user known for being lucky. Despite accumulating injuries, Akari escapes alongside Nobara, being one of the few managers to survive,showing her resilience.
2Kiyotaka Ijichi
Loyal Auxiliary Manager
AlthoughIjichimay be considered an easy target by some characters, his loyalty and support make him severely underappreciated. Sporting a suit, Ijichi is seen as an auxiliary manager who aids Jujutsu Sorcerers when on a mission. Ijichi shows a lot of care towards characters such as Gojo and Yuji, and he gets anxious when Yuji heads out to stop Junpei against his wishes.

Being a semi-grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, Inumaki is among the strongest at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, thanks to his highly powerful cursed speech. Despite being unable to communicate with his classmates verbally, Inumaki shows his care for his friends often in battle. Inumaki has rescued Megumi a couple of times from danger against Todo and Hanami, with the fight against Hanami leading to him overdoing his limit to save his friend.
In the Shibuya arc, Yuji tries to head towards Gojo, only to be stopped by the horde of curses killing innocent people trapped in the Veil. Inumaki arrives in time to save civilians from the curses, allowing Yuji to continue rescuing Gojo, thanks to Inumaki’s support.
