| Judgement |
ANIMEKO.ORG - Jujutsu Kaisen is currently one of the most popular manga and anime series. The story revolves around a world filled with terrifying creatures known as curses, which can only be defeated by jujutsu sorcerers possessing special powers. One jujutsu sorcerer who has captured attention is Hiromi Higuruma, a former lawyer involved in the Culling Game, a fierce battle among jujutsu sorcerers with deadly rules.
Higuruma possesses a unique cursed technique called Judgement, a shikigami in the form of a justice scale. Judgement can function as both judge and jury in trials conducted within Higuruma's expansive domain, known as Deadly Sentencing. Within this domain, Higuruma can accuse his target of various crimes committed in the past, and Judgement will decide their guilt based on the available evidence and testimony. If the target is deemed guilty, Judgement will deliver a punishment fitting their crime, such as confiscation, imprisonment, or even death.
Judgement's cursed technique is considered very powerful and challenging to counter, thanks to several advantages. Firstly, Judgement can acquire all kinds of information about the target, including things unknown to others. Judgement also uses modern Japanese law as a reference, enabling it to entangle the target with intricate and detailed legal clauses. Secondly, Judgement is highly objective and cannot be freely controlled by Higuruma. Judgement will make decisions solely based on existing facts, without partiality or emotional influence. Thirdly, Judgement can provide an advantage to Higuruma in combat. It can nullify the cursed techniques of enemies, preventing them from using their powers. Judgement also grants Higuruma an executioner's sword capable of swiftly dispatching foes.
However, Judgement's cursed technique also has some weaknesses. Firstly, Judgement cannot attack innocent targets. If the target has never committed any crimes or can prove their innocence, Judgement will set them free. Secondly, Judgement can be requested to conduct a retrial if the target is dissatisfied with the initial decision. If the target can present stronger arguments or new evidence, Judgement has the authority to alter its previous decision and punishment. Thirdly, Judgement can be influenced by the morality and emotions of the target. If the target holds values conflicting with modern Japanese law or has strong reasons for their actions, Judgement may feel confusion or anger, opening its usually closed eyes. This can compromise Judgement's objectivity and credibility as a judge.
Judgement stands out as one of the most unique and intriguing cursed techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen. This technique showcases how Higuruma, once a dedicated lawyer defending truth and justice, becomes a jujutsu sorcerer who loses faith in the existing legal system. It also raises philosophical questions about the nature of crime, punishment, and who has the right to mete it out. Judgement is a cursed technique that not only tests strength but also intelligence and morality in its targets.
