Jujutsu Shenanigans is a Roblox battleground game developed by Tze where you fight other players, earn money per kill, and master a roster of fighters pulled straight from the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. Each character plays completely differently, from free-to-use brawlers with straightforward combos to domain-expansion powerhouses locked behind specific game modes. This guide covers every character currently in the game, their full movesets, damage numbers, and what makes each one worth learning.
How does the move system work in Jujutsu Shenanigans?
Before jumping into individual characters, understanding the shared control system saves a lot of confusion. Every fighter uses the same base input layout, documented in the source data from TechWiser's character list.
Dealing damage fills the awakening bar. Once it's full, pressing G triggers the awakened form, which restores HP and unlocks a new moveset. Some characters skip a full awakened form and instead get a single powerful awakened move when G is pressed. A handful of characters can also reach a super awakened state by using a specific move during awakening.
info
Some characters' special moves cost zero awakening bar in their awakened form. Check each character's entry before spending bar on specials you could use for free.
All free characters available in every game mode
The majority of the roster is free and playable across all game modes. Here's a breakdown of each one.
Honored One
HP: 100 | Awakened form: Six Eyes (heals 25 HP, lasts 60 seconds)
Honored One is the closest thing to a flagship character in Jujutsu Shenanigans. His base kit revolves around Lapse Blue (12.5 damage, 13s cooldown) and Reversal Red (12.5 damage, 20s cooldown), both blockable but capable of bypassing ragdoll. Rapid Punches is the standout base move: 17.25 unblockable damage with a Face Grater variant that adds 10 more if you chain the special immediately after.
The awakened Six Eyes form is where Honored One becomes genuinely threatening. Lapse Blue Max jumps to 44 unblockable damage, and Hollow Purple hits for 70. The domain expansion, Infinite Void, has a 120-second cooldown and lasts 14 seconds. Land both Lapse Blue Max then Reversal Red Max in sequence to trigger Unlimited Purple, which scales from 50 to 100 damage based on distance from the center.
warning
Reversal Red Max can deal 15 damage to yourself if the Red orb misses the enemy. Don't fire it blind.
Vessel
HP: 85 | Passive: Tiger of West Junior High (negates incoming basic attack damage and stuns; M1 attacks are 0.05 seconds faster) | Awakened form: King of Curses (heals 45 HP)
Vessel trades raw HP for one of the best passives in the game. Negating basic attack stuns means opponents can't interrupt your combos with M1 spam. Divergent Fist has a Black Flash Chain variant that chains up to four times, with the fourth hit dealing 15 damage.
In the King of Curses awakening, the Shrine passive replaces M1 attacks with Dismantle slashes that have longer range but lower damage. Cleave deals 40% of the opponent's current HP (minimum 10), making it deadly against high-HP targets. The combo finisher World Cutting Slash (1+3+2+R) lands 80 damage and puts all used moves into cooldown as the cost.
Restless Gambler
HP: 100 | Awakened form: Idle Death Gamble (heals 15 HP)
Restless Gambler has the most unique awakening system in the roster. Activating Idle Death Gamble opens a domain where you cast two visual moves to trigger one of two scenarios: Transit Card Richii or Travel Emergency Richii. If Tze succeeds, you get the Jackpot: full invincibility for 100 seconds. Fail three times and you receive a Pity Jackpot on the fourth attempt, granting 50 seconds of invincibility instead.
During the domain, landing Reverse Balls on opponents twice also grants the Renewal passive. In the awakened form, Overwhelming Luck deals 30 damage on all hits after the first, and Rhythm (the special) reduces all move cooldowns by 0.6 seconds with no awakening cost.
Jackpot grants 100s invincibility
Ten Shadows
HP: 85 | Awakened form: Insanity (heals 15 HP) | Super awakened: Mahoraga
Ten Shadows is one of two characters with a super awakened state. The base kit summons shikigami: Rabbit Escape (14 damage), Nue (16 damage with an electric variant), Toad (pulls opponents), and Divine Dog: Totality (6 damage per hit).
The Insanity awakening gives you a Switch passive that lets you toggle between awakened and base movesets with G. Pressing 4 in awakened form activates Mahoraga, draining 40% of the awakening bar and transforming the character entirely. Mahoraga runs on a Ritual Bar instead of an awakening bar. The bar depletes when empty and drains health, but refills by landing M1 attacks or most moves. The Adaptation Wheel (R) cycles between Attack, Defense, and Special modes, each granting a unique 4 key move and passive. World Slash in Special Mode deals 40 damage.
Perfection
HP: 100 | Awakened form: Essence of the Soul (heals 45 HP, lasts 60 seconds) | Super awakened: Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing (heals 10 HP, lasts 50 seconds)
Perfection's Self Transfiguration special toggles between Blade Mode (faster M1s, 6.5 damage on dash) and Club Mode (slower M1s but unblockable, 8.5 damage on dash). This mode system carries into the awakened form and affects which variants of Body Disfigure you access.
The awakened 1 key move, Idle Transfiguration, deals 300 damage on the second hit and skips cooldown if it kills. The domain expansion, Embodiment of Self-Perfection, is an insta-kill with a 14-second duration. In the super awakened state, Head Splitter is a 100-damage counter attack, and the Sinister Spurs passive gives M1 attacks 18 damage with a 1.7-second cooldown.
Blood Manipulator
HP: 100 | Awakened form: Duty As A Brother (heals 20 HP, lasts 60 seconds)
Blood Manipulator's kit centers on Convergence (R), which summons 4 Convergence blood orbs that buff other abilities. Flowing Red Scale: Stack (using 2 with at least one orb active) bumps damage from 17.3 to 25.3. Supernova normally functions as a counter but turns into a 4-second cooldown variant when orbs are available.
In the awakened form, Plasma Wave deals a minimum of 116 damage at close range, making it one of the highest single-hit damage values among base roster characters. Wing King hits for 43.5 damage plus 5 per remaining orb.
Switcher
HP: 100 | Awakened form: False Memories (heals 20 HP, lasts 60 seconds)
Switcher's entire identity is Boogie Woogie (R), a position-swap special with four variants. The Perfect Swap variant (M1 timed with the clap) has no cooldown and only costs 3% awakening after the refund. The Fakeout variant (M1 before the clap) refunds the 6% awakening cost entirely.
In False Memories, Brothers is a 45-second cooldown counter that deals 80 damage on success. If Switcher doesn't counter anything, the variant still fires for 70 damage. Climax Jumping hits for 42.4 unblockable damage.
Defense Attorney
HP: 100 | Passive: Gavel (M1 attacks deal 14 damage, 1.7s cooldown) | Awakened form: Death Penalty (heals 60 HP, lasts 60 seconds)
Defense Attorney has the highest awakening HP heal in the free roster at 60. The Executioner's Sword passive in the awakened form extends M1 range while the front dash knocks opponents backward and stuns them.
Execution (1 in awakened form) scales across three hits on the same opponent: 25 damage, then 25 again, then 310 on the third. Final Judgement (2) deals 300 damage if you win the quick time event, or 35 if you fail. Domain Amplification (R) has no damage but negates incoming damage, stuns, and domain sure-hit effects for 8 seconds at 5% awakening cost.
danger
Domain Amplification makes Defense Attorney one of the few characters that can directly counter domain expansions. Time it when you see a domain activation animation.
Cursed Partners
HP: Not specified separately | Awakened form: True Love (heals 15 HP, lasts 60 seconds)
Cursed Partners is the most mechanically complex character in the game. You play as Yuta with Rika available as a summon via R. Rika disappears after one move is used. The base kit gives you 8 total moves split between Yuta and Rika.
The domain expansion Authentic Mutual Love lasts 45 seconds and grants access to five copied techniques: Shrine, Thin Ice Breaker, Clairvoyance, Cursed Speech, and Shikigami. You activate them by equipping katanas inside the domain, but can only use four before the domain ends. True Love Beam in the awakened form deals 117 damage.
Puppet Master
HP: 85 (increases to 117 after awakening) | Passive: Energy Reserves (second awakening bar fills 1.5x faster) | Awakened form: Absolute
Puppet Master's HP literally increases on awakening, going from 85 to 117. The Absolute form replaces the small puppet with a giant mech. Energy Output (R in awakened form) builds a 5-segment bar that buffs damage but increases awakening costs per use. Pigeon Viola deals up to 35 damage via bullets and can actually refill awakening bar (up to 39%) on the variant.
Head of the Hei
HP: 90 (set to 75 on awakening) | Passives: Projectionism, Frame Freeze | Awakened form: Vengeance (lasts 60 seconds)
Head of the Hei is a high-risk character. The awakening sets HP to 75 and the character dies when the awakening ends unless the domain expansion is used. The Frame Freeze passive builds a Projection Meter that freezes opponents at 100%, and frozen enemies take three times the damage. Decisive Strike deals 21 damage against frozen targets instead of 13.
The domain expansion Time Cell Moon Parade lasts 25 seconds with a 60-second cooldown. Damage inside scales with speed.
Salaryman
HP: 100 | Passive: Ratio Black Flash (final M1 or uppercut powers enemies with Black Flash, deals 8 damage) | Awakened form: Overtime (heals 25 HP, lasts 60 seconds)
Ratio Point (R) marks opponents, and most of Salaryman's awakened moves deal double damage on marked targets. Ratio Breaker Variant 2 hits for 35 on the Black Flash follow-up, tripled on marked enemies. The Overtime passive buffs M1 attacks in awakened form.
Locust Guy
HP: 90 | Awakened move: Directed Poison (no awakened form)
Locust Guy skips an awakened form entirely. Pressing G activates Directed Poison: 9 damage per second for 10 seconds, unblockable and uninterruptible, with 25 HP healing if the attack connects. Straightforward but effective against players who rely on sustained fights.
Star Rage
HP: 100 | Awakened move: Unrestricted Density (no awakened form)
Star Rage's G move, Unrestricted Density, deals 500 damage per second and lasts until the user dies. There's no duration limit. The base kit uses a Mass Bar mechanic via Mass Buildup (R), which enables variants of Garuda Rebound and Garuda Stab.
Aspiring Mangaka
HP: 85 | Passive: Oracle (blocking just before impact grants 5% awakening bar)
Aspiring Mangaka has no awakened form listed in the source data. The Oracle passive rewards precise blocking with awakening bar generation. Clairvoyance (R) marks opponents for 25 seconds, and the variant forces marked enemies to side dash.
Lucky Coward
HP: 70 | Passives: Hand Sword, Miraculous, Miracle Dodge | Awakened move: Jawbreaker
Lucky Coward has the lowest HP in the entire roster at 70, offset by the Miraculous passive that starts with 3 Miracle charges. Miracles are gained by dodging unarmed, taunting standing opponents, interrupting attacks, or damaging dazed opponents. Miracle Dodge (1.7s cooldown) lets the character dodge incoming melee or bullet attacks.
The Helping Hand moveset (R + number keys) changes Ambush, Backstab, and Cheap Shot into Ankle Cutter, High Time, and Dirty Play. Jawbreaker (awakened move) deals 25 damage but heals 25 HP if it misses.
Characters restricted to private servers and special modes
Two characters are locked behind specific conditions and aren't available in standard public matches.
Strongest of History
Available in: Private Servers and Roulette mode | HP: 100 | Awakened move: Incomplete Shrine Domain Expansion
Strongest of History is built around the Incantation (R) system. Each use of R upgrades the Strong Dismantle move through three tiers: base Strong Dismantle (20 damage, 4s cooldown), Dismantle Barrage (30 damage), Disgraced Sovereign (19 damage), and finally World Cutting Slash and Dismantle Net (both 150 damage). Open FURNACE deals 70 damage on a 12-second cooldown. Cleave Rush hits for 150 damage base.
Monkey Kid
Available in: Private Servers only | HP: 100 | Passive: Child of the Clouds (summons Flying Nimbus; front dash deals 4 damage) | Awakened form: Monkey (heals 15 HP, lasts 60 seconds)
Monkey Kid is explicitly described as overpowered in the source data. Ki Spam deals 49 damage on a 12-second cooldown. In the Monkey awakening, M1 attacks become unblockable at 10 damage each, and the front dash turns into a long hop dealing 20 unblockable damage. The trade-off: Monkey Kid can't pick up throwables, parkour, or wall bounce in awakened form.
What about Cursed Child?
Available in: JSD x JJS and Private Server | HP: 100 (boss version: 250) | Awakened form: Since When Were You The One In Control? (heals ~35 HP, lasts 60 seconds)
Cursed Child is a limited character obtained by defeating Jump Showdown's Strongest of History. The boss version can also be triggered by interacting with Worn Dagger, Real Knife, or being chosen by Chara SOUL after defeating a player using the moveset.
The Check special applies a defense reduction debuff making opponents take 1.3x damage for 15 seconds. In the awakened form, Atonement deals 100 damage and Reset hits for 50 to 70 damage (with 20 dealt back to the user).
info
The boss version of Cursed Child has 250 HP compared to the standard 100. If you're fighting it as an NPC encounter, expect a significantly longer fight.

Infinite Void: 120s cooldown, 14s duration
The roster as of March 2026 sits at 19 characters, with a clear split between the 16 free fighters available in all modes and the 3 restricted to private servers or specific events. If you're building game knowledge from scratch, start with Honored One or Salaryman since both have straightforward move logic before branching into the more mechanical options like Ten Shadows or Cursed Partners.
