in the universe “Jujutsu Kaisen”fights against curses coexist with school life of the sorcerers in training. Therefore, the official fanbook of the franchise had the great idea of including a curious academic ranking of the students of the Jujutsu High (or Technical College of Magic), the one that measures who really stands out in the classroom and not only on the battlefield. So, would you like to know who beats Yuji Itadori in it anime when it comes to books and studies? Well, if the answer is positive, this note is for you.
It is worth specifying that this list was born from “Jujutsu Kaisen: The Official Character Guide”the character manual published in 2024 and signed by Gege Akutamithe creator of the manga.
And, as highlighted CBRthe material classified students from Tokyo and Kyoto schools in the category of classroom learningusing a scale of one to ten.
In this way, the information takes on special relevance among fans because it separates two types of intelligence within the plot: academic and that of combat.

According to the official text, twelve students were left above Yuji Itadori in this important ranking.
