Takaba is a very proficient combatant capable of going against multiple powerful opponents at once with relative ease. During his fight with Hazenoki, Takaba sent the former flying through the building with just a single hit, a testimony of his immense strength. His most powerful feat is his cursed ability called “Comedian,” which could rival the likes of Satoru Gojo.

He can create and manipulate flames at will. In his Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, he can utilize Cleave and Dismantle to sever anything in the Domain's radius. Sukuna is the most powerful cursed spirit in Jujutsu Kaisen and is also renowned for being the undisputed King of Curses.
