Uh in what way is it similar to reiatsu? But anyway, the power system isn’t very difficult to understand, but some of the cursed techniques can be. Well, only like 1 cursed technique and 1 domain expansion have had be thoroughly confused thus far.

Easiest way I can say it is Cursed energy is a simple and flexible power system which allows for the creation and use of more complicated ideas and techniques.
I've seen it compared to Hunter x Hunter's Nen in that way.

Yeah its funny that JJK "Fans" are fake anime fans. The author himself said the system made no sense and he had a literal Japanese physics expert come into consult who told him it was nonsense. this is all IN THE MANGA they dont read lol

It's so weird because you'd think there was no trend behind JJK given the fanbase doesnt even follow the manga. Naruto, Bleach and OP were huge and people NEEDES TO KNOW what came next. everyones like "meh I'll wait for season2 " yeah alright fam what a RIVETING ANIME lol

Jujutsu Kaisen powee system it nonsense and you can jusst watch the show without knowing anything of it.The ranking system it even more ridiculous.Soccerer grade 5 to 1 is bassicaly the same,only special grade is truly powerful and overpowered.Still the fight in this series it awsome and the author is very creative when it come to jutsu.

It is pretty straightforward tbh.
They're born with Cursed Energy and they channel it using certain exclusive techniques.
There are certain techniques like Domain Expansion or Black Flash which can be performed by every sorcerer if they're talented enough.

Everything else, including Gojo's 'reversal' or whatever is just random made up attacks that sound convoluted just for the sake of it.

To be honest, I felt the same. Although quite enjoyable, the power system can get complicated.

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

based. low effort trolls pilling up to the thread. even if the power system doesn't make sense or is made up as we go, it seems sufficiently consistent in the way it's rules work. any holes with the system can be clarified as we go. it's possible that we're missing a huge piece of the puzzle. the biggest issue is probably rct, which we've only seen gojo do, and could reasonably be explained as a specific adaptation of his ct, not something everyone can do. we've only seen, as far as I can remember, reverse cursed energy used to heal, and not in anyones ct or used to create a rct except gojo who is CLEARLY an outlier.

I'd say the actual system itself is pretty simple, but the application (reverse cursed energy and technique specifically) can be very complicated. it is incredibly similar to nen, especially in the way binding vows work (compare this to kurapika and Gon's explanation and following application of a "condition" in nen, and you'll see binding vows and conditions are basically the same thing). It's a very interesting power system.

The easiest explanation I have is the cursed energy system is basically the nen system, minus the categories that nen users fall under, and with the addition of reverse cursed energy,,/technique which is basically healing.

RCT is probably the most confusing thing. I hope gege explains what it actually is and how it works/exists, but all we've seen it used as is basically a healing energy, and then gojo specifically uses it to "reverse" his cursed technique, which may very well turn out to just be something he alone can do, as I don't think we've seen anyone "reverse" their technique since, and his specific ability lends itself to being able to be used?

I'm not too familiar with other power systems, but all in all the curse energy is pretty much just that, energy. Some people got a lot, some got a little. The equalizer is that you can use weapons that increase your ability to utilize curse energy. There is some complexity with domain expansion with it being seemingly random with what it does based on the user (user has control?). There are also some people that are anomalies and use other ways of fighting such as panda using somewhat of a berserker mode and toge using his voice (there are other examples but those are the first that came to mind). I'm not sure if they use curse energy to help with this or it's some other thing entirely.

TL;DR while curse energy is the main power system each character has something somewhat unique that deviates from it.

There's some similarities with cursed energy and other power systems with anime, but cursed energy is so complex and unique in my opinion. I love the different types of users, clans, and techniques. Cursed energy is very confusing yet descriptive and cool. I'd say cursed energy is a top 5 power system in Animanga

To me it's complex in a way that if you compare it to nen from hxh you can't really visualize it. But if you compare it to spiritual energy from bleach, it's just energy that you can output in a certain amount.

In the Manga it gets very confusing. A lot of people drop it because it's hard to understand. Season 1 of the Anime is slow burn. Season 2 should be when the complicated and complex things start to happen. It gets more and more confusing is what I think at least the Manga does.
