Jujutsu Shenanigans characters are full fighting kits, so the best first pick depends on more than the name you like. HP affects how many mistakes you can survive, base moves shape neutral and combo routes, and the awakening or special decides what your kit becomes after the meter fills. The normal roster has 20 player-facing characters across Complete, Early Access, and Base Only status groups.

Complete
Complete characters are the stable normal roster because they have full base and awakened kits. Start here when you want a finished moveset, then compare HP, role, domain access, strength, and limit to decide which kit fits your fight style.

Early Access
Disaster Plants is the current Early Access character. Its base tools are playable, but the full awakening is unfinished and tied to the Early Access gamepass, so treat it as a changing kit instead of a settled first recommendation.

Base Only
Base Only characters are normal player-facing picks, but awakening triggers a special move instead of opening a full awakened moveset. They can still be strong, but the comparison should focus on base moves, HP, role, and how useful that one special is.

How to choose a character to learn first
Start with the kind of fight you want to practice. A complete 100 HP character such as Honored One, Restless Gambler, Blood Manipulator, Salaryman, or True Cannon gives more room to learn spacing, confirms, and awakening timing. Lower-HP picks like Vessel, Ten Shadows, Puppet Master, Defense Attorney, Cursed Partners, Head of the Hei, Aspiring Mangaka, and Lucky Coward can still be worth learning, but they punish bad entries faster.
If you want a simple first goal, pick a complete character with a clear role. Honored One teaches ranged pressure and domain control. Salaryman is a cleaner fundamentals pick because it leans on melee confirms and Ratio Point instead of a full domain. Restless Gambler is useful when you want jackpot sustain and rushdown. Ten Shadows, Cursed Partners, Puppet Master, and Head of the Hei are better after you are comfortable managing extra forms, summons, partner follow-ups, resource pressure, or speed-based punishment.
Why status matters before rankings
Status tells you whether the character is finished before you worry about any tier list. Complete characters have the most stable comparison because the base kit and awakened kit are both listed. Early Access means the character can change while unfinished. Base Only means the character is public and normal, but its awakening is a special move rather than a second full moveset.
| Status | What it means | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Complete | Full base kit and full awakened kit | Best starting pool for finished characters |
| Early Access | Unfinished full character behind Early Access | Check cost and TBA awakening notes before committing |
| Base Only | Normal pick with one awakening special | Compare base tools, HP, role, and the special move |
Which rows are excluded from the normal roster
The normal count does not include every named character page or special form. Mahoraga belongs inside Ten Shadows as part of that character's awakened route, so it should not be counted as a separate normal pick. Strongest Of History and Monkey Kid are overpowered or special-condition rows. Super TZE and Mokou are not regular player characters. Cursed Child has special or limited access notes and should stay out of the normal roster until regular public access is verified.
That scope keeps the page useful for a normal player choosing what to queue with. Restricted, staff, developer, boss, private-server, or special-mode rows can be interesting, but they do not answer the same question as picking a regular character to learn.
How to Use This Jujutsu Shenanigans Characters List
Each character entry is grouped by status first. Availability and Cost show whether the pick is free or tied to Early Access. HP shows how forgiving the kit is. Base moves are the tools you use before awakening, while Awakening or special tells you whether the character gains a full second kit or one base-only finisher. Domain calls out full domains, domain variants, or no full domain listed. Role, Strength, and Limit give the practical read: what the character tries to do well, and what can make that kit harder to learn.
FAQ
How many normal characters are in Jujutsu Shenanigans?
There are 20 normal player-facing characters in this roster: 13 Complete characters, 1 Early Access character, and 6 Base Only characters.
Which Jujutsu Shenanigans character should I learn first?
Start with a complete character that matches the fight style you want. Honored One is good for ranged pressure and domains, Salaryman is cleaner for melee fundamentals, Restless Gambler teaches sustain and rushdown, and Blood Manipulator gives mid-range projectile pressure. Save lower-HP or busier kits for when you are comfortable with confirms and spacing.
What does Base Only mean in Jujutsu Shenanigans?
Base Only means the character has a normal base moveset, but awakening performs a special move instead of unlocking a full awakened moveset. Locust Guy, Star Rage, Aspiring Mangaka, Lucky Coward, Crow Charmer, and Black Death are the current Base Only rows in this normal roster.
Is Disaster Plants free?
Disaster Plants is listed as Early Access and uses the 300 Robux Early Access gamepass while unfinished. Its base kit is listed, but the full awakening still has TBA moves, so it can change more than completed characters.
Why is Mahoraga not counted as a separate normal character?
Mahoraga is part of Ten Shadows' awakened route, not a separate normal roster pick. Ten Shadows carries that form and its related move set in the character entry.
Are Strongest Of History, Monkey Kid, Super TZE, Mokou, and Cursed Child included?
No. Those rows are restricted, overpowered, staff or developer related, special-condition, boss-linked, private-server, or otherwise outside the normal player-facing roster. They should not change the 20-character count for normal picks.
