Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 261 confirmed Ryomen Sukuna as “the strongest witch in history”, a title proven by his actions and abilities shown throughout the series. Besides Gojo Satoru, Sukuna also stands out in many ways, highlighting his supremacy in the wizarding world.
Sukuna's dominance is evident through his incredible raw strength and mastery of Jujutsu. His combat intelligence is sharp and he is proficient in using the Reverse Curse Technique. Armed with destructive techniques, Sukuna's power is further enhanced by gaining access to Megumi's body and is possibly the strongest technique of the Ten Shadows.
Sukuna's power in Jujutsu Kaisen was officially declared unparalleled in the history of witchcraft
In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 261, Yuta Okkotsu explicitly calls Sukuna “the strongest witch in history” during an important discussion among the Jujutsu High witches about contingency plans if Gojo is defeated.
Yuta proposes a risky plan that involves Rika consuming Kenjaku's body, allowing Yuta to use his body swap technique to transfer himself into Gojo's body to continue the fight.

However, the enormous risk of the plan, as Mei Mei explains, caused disagreement among his teammates, especially Maki and Kusakabe. This causes Yuta to assert that they are facing “the strongest witch in history” and must give up their humanity to become monsters if they want to win.
Throughout the series, Sukuna's actions solidify his status as the strongest. Since the Heian period, his name alone has spread fear throughout the land. He lives without restraint, does as he pleases, and is undefeated even in death. His immense power is divided into 20 fingers, which are indestructible and must be sealed as special level Cursed Objects. Despite his limited power when embodied within Yuji, Sukuna easily defeated Curses with a single blow and even defeated Mahoraga in the brutal battle that ravaged Shibuya.
When taking over Megumi Fushiguro's body, Sukuna regained all his strength and easily defeated all opponents. Yorozu and Ishigori are no match for him, and only Gojo Satoru pushes him to his limits. Despite this, Sukuna eventually wins, revealing his true demon form with four arms, four eyes, and an extra mouth. With Gojo gone, none of the Jujutsu High witches posed much of a challenge to him. Currently, Yuji seems to be the only one capable of standing up to Sukuna.
Sukuna's physical attributes give him a significant advantage in battle. His extra mouth aids in chanting, while his additional arms allow him to fight and create hand signs for his techniques. His Jujutsu control is perfect in many situations. The binding oath he made with Yuji was a strategic move that allowed him to take over Megumi's body. Furthermore, the various Binding Oaths he has taken during the current war have allowed him to maintain high performance despite the losses he has suffered.
After taking over Megumi, Sukuna's access to the Ten Shadow Techniques made him even more formidable. Although it seems like he can't use it right now, he might be saving it for later. Regardless, his Domain is considered one of the strongest due to its barrier-free nature and scalability.
The admission of Sukuna as the strongest witch in the latest chapter emphasizes his dominance in the series. Throughout the story, he proves himself to be the toughest enemy, always finding a way to counter anything thrown at him. This has deservedly earned him the title “King of Curses”.
Chapter 261 of Jujutsu Kaisen stunned fans, especially those who were hoping for Gojo's impressive return. Although they understood the drastic measures Yuta had to take, many were dissatisfied with how things turned out. This chapter not only affirms Sukuna's unparalleled strength but also highlights the challenges and risks that Jujutsu magicians must face to overcome him.
