Cursed Spirit Manipulation is the Geto-based Special Grade technique in Kaizen, built entirely around summoning portals, spirits, and a dragon form that hammer enemies with ranged AoE damage. Unlocking it is not a pure Yen grind. Two of its crafting materials come only from a raid, so you cannot buy your way past the farm.
Quick answer: Buy Cursed Spirit Manipulation from the Permanent Cursed Techniques tab of the Curse Shop through Dr. Shiro Kato for 3,750,000 Yen, 50 Grade 2 Cores, 35 Grade 1 Cores, 25 Cursed Nucleus, and 10 Cursed Spirit Spheres. The Cursed Nucleus and Cursed Spirit Sphere drop only from the Geto Raid, so clear that raid first.
Everything you need to craft Cursed Spirit Manipulation
Head to the school courtyard and talk to Dr. Shiro Kato, the NPC in the lab coat standing to the left of the Principal. Open the Permanent Cursed Techniques section of the Curse Shop and scroll to Cursed Spirit Manipulation. The purchase button only becomes active once you hold every item in the list below.
| Material | Amount | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Yen | 3,750,000 | General gameplay |
| Grade 2 Core | 50 | General enemy drops |
| Grade 1 Core | 35 | General enemy drops |
| Cursed Nucleus | 25 | Geto Raid (any difficulty) |
| Cursed Spirit Sphere | 10 | Geto Raid (any difficulty) |
The Cores and Yen come from normal play. The Cursed Nucleus and Cursed Spirit Sphere are the real bottleneck, since both only fall from the Geto Raid. However much progress you have on everything else, the raid is mandatory.
How to farm the Geto Raid for both materials
The Geto Raid opens at Level 350 or higher on Easy and scales all the way up to Nightmare at Level 1050 or higher. Both the Cursed Nucleus and the Cursed Spirit Sphere drop on any difficulty, so you do not need to reach Nightmare just to gather the two crafting materials.
| Difficulty | Level requirement |
|---|---|
| Easy | 350+ |
| Nightmare | 1050+ |
Nightmare has much stronger drop rates across every reward, so if your Combat Power can survive it, that is the faster route for both the crafting materials and Domain Shards. Every clear guarantees Yen no matter the difficulty.
| Drop | Drop rate (Nightmare) |
|---|---|
| Yen | 100% |
| Cursed Nucleus | 70% |
| Cursed Spirit Sphere | 35% |
| Tamamano Bottoms | 11% |
| Tamamano Top | 7.5% |
| Geto Bottom | 4% |
| Geto Top | 3% |
| Domain Shard | 1.63% |
Note: hold onto every Domain Shard you pull during these runs. You will need them later to unlock the Domain Expansion, and farming them alongside the crafting materials saves you a second grind.
All Cursed Spirit Manipulation moves
The kit leans on ranged AoE. You summon portals and spirits, ride a dragon, and finish with a domain that keeps spawning allied cursed spirits. Each move unlocks as you raise the technique’s Mastery Level.
| Move | Mastery Level | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Abyssal Squid Barrage | 0 | Summons multiple portals behind you that fire a concentrated black beam in your aimed direction. |
| Worm | 35 | Effect not yet confirmed. |
| Cursed Spirit Rainbow Dragon | 75 | Summons a huge white dragon you can briefly fly on, then fires a massive beam at nearby enemies twice on landing. |
| Maximum Uzumaki | 100 | Summons a large portal and black hands from the ground that deal continuous AoE damage to nearby enemies for several seconds. |
| Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (Domain Expansion) | 200 | Opens a large domain where all skills are boosted and using skills gradually spawns allied cursed spirits that attack enemies. |
Unlocking the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons domain
Hitting Mastery Level 200 by itself does not hand you the Domain Expansion. After you reach that threshold, you also need to speak with Hakaze inside Jujutsu Tech and turn in 10 Domain Shards. The domain only becomes usable once that exchange is done.
Domain Shards drop at 1.63% on Nightmare, so they are the slowest part of the whole process. Farm them on your standard Geto Raid runs and bank every one you get.
Best clan for Cursed Spirit Manipulation
The Geto Clan is the natural pairing. Its Summon Skill passive lines up with the technique’s summon-heavy kit, letting you kill and absorb 100 Cursed Spirits, then summon the last spirit you killed as an allied fighter. The clan also carries solid stat bonuses.
| Stat bonus | Amount |
|---|---|
| Melee | +10 |
| Cursed Energy | +15 |
| Stamina | +10 |
| Defense | +10 |
| Cursed Energy DMG % | +7% |
| Max Cursed Energy % | +20% |
Once the purchase button lights up in Dr. Shiro Kato’s shop and you confirm the craft, Cursed Spirit Manipulation lands in your Cursed Techniques list ready to equip. From there it is a Mastery grind toward the Rainbow Dragon at 75, Maximum Uzumaki at 100, and finally the domain at 200, all of which reward the same raid runs you used to unlock the technique in the first place.
