While the two series exist in distinct fictional universes, numerous parallels have led readers to draw connections between them. Both the series center around sorcerers and their magical battles, but Kagurabachi sets itself apart by portraying a world where these supernatural powers are known to the general public.

This allows for direct interactions between sorcerers and civilians, unlike the secretive nature of sorcery in Jujutsu Kaisen.

The character archetypes in the two series also share striking similarities. Chihiro, the protagonist of the manga, has a mentor figure whose cold wisdom and powerful abilities evoke comparisons to Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen. Additionally, the main antagonist, Genichi Sojo, bears a resemblance to Mahito from Jujutsu Kaisen in terms of his destructive ideology and the threat he poses.

Furthermore, the power systems in the two manga demonstrate overlapping influences. The manga's focus on enchanted blades and spiritual energy-based attacks draws inspiration from shonen classics like Bleach, echoing the distinct abilities and combat styles seen in Jujutsu Kaisen.
