Toji Foshiguro is unique in many ways; this is a fact that all fans of Jujutsu Kaisen know well. He was born with a Heavenly Restriction, but despite that, he became so powerful that he defeated even Satoru Gojo once while Gojo was still a student. Toji reappeared once again in Shibuya and defeated and exorcised Dagon almost effortlessly, bringing him back into the spotlight. Now, Toji’s power and skills cannot be doubted here, but since he was not a sorcerer, he was never officially ranked. Still, it is apparent that Toji is a Special Grade, and in this article, we are going to explain why that is.

  • Article Breakdown:
  • Toji Fushiguro was born with a Heavenly Restriction that not only lowered his cursed energy, it completely annulled it. On the other hand, this augmented his other skills and senses.
  • Due to his incredible powers, Toji became a threat to everyone and is still one of the strongest characters in the whole series, being near Geto’s and Gojo’s level of power.
  • Since he was not a sorcerer, Toji was never ranked officially, but it is more than obvious that he is a Special Grade based on the skills and abilities we’ve seen.

Toji lost his cursed energy, but he became one of the strongest characters

The gist of Toji’s skills and abilities is his Heavenly Restriction. As fans of the series will know, a Heavenly Restriction is a Binding Vow imposed from birth and not the product of choice. It greatly limits some natural abilities of the persons who receive them, yet the advantages they offer are still great compared to the cost. When Toji was born, he was born with such a strange Heavenly Restriction that he had absolutely no cursed energy at all.

But, by having 0% cursed energy, he received a “gift” of having 100% of all his other skills, senses, and abilities. He was above average in every other aspect, which made him a dangerous foe. He had amazing senses, his agility was superhuman, as well as his speed, he was a master swordsman, and he also had a profound understanding of how cursed energy works, which enabled him to fight sorcerers and curses alike. In that aspect, we can confirm that he was strong, but what was his grade?

Due to his skills, abilities, and his knowledge, there is no doubt that he would’ve been ranked as a Special Grade

Now, we have given you an overview of what Toji Fushiguro was capable of while he was alive and even when he was resurrected in Shibuya. This was enough to show you that he was an exceptionally powerful character and that anyone who was on par with Gojo, even if only once, is worth all the praise that we, as fans, can actually give him. Now, you’d assume that he was definitely a Special Grade based on this, right? Well… there’s a catch.

Namely, Toji Fushiguro was not a jujutsu sorcerer. Due to the fact that his Heavenly Restriction robbed him of his cursed energy completely, he never became a jujutsu sorcerer, nor could he have become one since he was unable to manipulate cursed energy. Sure, his other senses, as well as his physical skills, were significantly enhanced, and while he could see curses, he could not manipulate cursed energy since he had none, and that disqualified him from being a jujutsu sorcerer.

We know that the ranking system in Jujutsu Kaisen is applied only to Jujutsu sorcerers and cursed spirits, and since Toji Fushiguro was neither, he was never ranked. But that doesn’t stop us from deducing, right? Based on all we know about Toji, we’re absolutely certain that he would’ve been classified as a Special Grade; there is no doubt about that.

He was able to defeat Gojo once, as well as Kenjaku, and all of that without having any cursed energy. When Ogami resurrected him, he was able to break free from her control (which was thought to be impossible, as even Ogami was surprised when Toji attacked her) and later entered Dagon’s Domain and was able to brutally kill the powerful S-Grade cursed spirit, exorcising him in the end; again, all of that without any cursed energy whatsoever. He was also able to fight Megumi and break from the manic state he was in.

All of this proves that Toji was undoubtedly one of the strongest, and since he was able to fight and even win against powerful Special Grades, there is absolutely no doubt that he would’ve been classified as a Special Grade himself.
