On November 12, 2026 Roblox's own Top Playing Now chart showed about 74,900 people in Jujutsu Shenanigans. See how it compares on our trending Roblox games list. The game page counts 7.9 billion visits and more than 3.2 million favorites. Its description ends with one line the developer is clearly proud of: "Best Action Experience RIA 2026". Roblox's own winners list calls the prize Best Action Game.
What Jujutsu Shenanigans is and who makes it
Jujutsu Shenanigans is a free for all brawler set in a city. Everyone in the server fights everyone, and the map breaks apart around you as you trade hits. The developer is Tze (Roblox account AlsoNot_Tze), who owns the "Jujutsu Shenanigans!" group with more than 4.2 million members. The game page jokes about where the name came from ("im doing some jujutsu shenanigans") and is honest about its roots: "combat based off many battleground games, destruction inspired by combat mayhem".
The characters are inspired by the anime and manga Jujutsu Kaisen, but this is a fan made game. Roblox does not mark it as officially licensed, and the characters use nicknames like Honored One or Vessel instead of the anime names.
Controls and how to start
The controls are printed right on the game page, and learning them is the fastest way to stop losing every fight.
| Key (PC) | What it does |
|---|---|
| M1 (left click) | Melee combo |
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Your character's four skills |
| Q | Dash. Use it while stunned to escape a combo |
| F | Block |
| R | Special |
| W + W | Sprint, which automatically avoids obstacles |
| G | Awaken |
- Join a server. You spawn in the city with up to 24 other players.
- Pick a character from the character select menu in the top left. If you are new, start with one of the easy picks below.
- Learn the four skills on a quiet corner of the map before you jump into the biggest crowd.
- Fight, block and dash out. Land M1 combos and skills, block with F, and save Q for when you are caught.
- Awaken with G when your meter is full and turn the fight around.
The core loop: brawl, fill the meter, Awaken
A round of Jujutsu Shenanigans has no fixed end. You fight whoever is near, chase kills and try to stay alive in a city that keeps getting smashed apart. Pocket Tactics describes the same loop: the map is fully destructible, every character has its own movement tech and a special ability, and you fill your ultimate meter by damaging other players and the environment.
That meter is what the G key is for. When you Awaken, most characters get stronger moves or a new form. Pocket Gamer points out that the Vessel turns from Yuji, a close range brawler, into Sukuna with far more range and damage. Awakening at the right moment, when a few hurt players are bunched together, wins more fights than spamming skills at full health opponents.
Best early strategy
- Pick one character and stay with it. Pocket Gamer's tier list makes the point well: player skill matters more than tier, and every character works in the right hands.
- Block more than you think. F stops a lot of free damage. New players lose most fights by trading hits with someone who blocks.
- Stay at the edge of big fights. A crowd of five players means a lot of damage flying around. Come in late and hit the players who are already hurt.
- Use the city. Walls and buildings break, but they still block line of sight for a moment. Sprint with W + W to slip through tight streets.
- Hold your Awakening for a fight you can actually win, not the first hit you land.
Characters that matter
The roster grows with almost every update. These characters appear on both the Pocket Gamer tier list (updated November 2, 2026) and Beebom's tier list, so we know they are in the game. The anime character each one is based on is in brackets.
| In game name | Inspired by | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Honored One | Gojo | Pocket Gamer calls him very easy to play, and Beebom calls him one of the most versatile characters. A safe first main. |
| Ten Shadows | Megumi | Top tier on both lists. Fights with summons, low health, hard to learn. |
| Blood Manipulator | Choso | Top tier on both lists. Strong zoning from range. |
| Vessel | Yuji, then Sukuna | Melee brawler that Awakens into Sukuna. High skill ceiling. |
| Perfection | Mahito | Aggressive melee. Pocket Gamer rates him easy and very strong. |
| Restless Gambler | Hakari | Beebom calls him one of the easiest characters to learn. |
| Cursed Partners | Yuta | Pressure character, reworked in the May 21, 2026 update. |
| Puppet Master | Mechamaru | Made free for everyone in February 2026. |
| Star Rage, Head of Hei, Switcher, Salaryman, Defense Attorney | Yuki, Naoya, Todo, Nanami, Higuruma | The tier lists disagree on these, so play the one you enjoy. |
Updates in 2026 and the Halloween Update
Tze announces updates as official Roblox events on the game page. These are the 2026 ones with notes:
| Date | What the official event lists |
|---|---|
| January 26, 2026 | Salaryman Awakening |
| February 20, 2026 | Puppet Master free release and a crossover event with Jump Showdown |
| March 20, 2026 | Two new characters |
| May 21, 2026 | True Cannon and Black Death released, Cursed Partners rework, beam clashing minigame |
| August 1, 2026 | New Disaster Plant ultimate move, skill builder changes |
| September 5, 2026 | New character and a Register ultimate |
| October 23, 2026 | Halloween Update, running until November 23, 2026 |
The Halloween Update trailer went up on Tze's YouTube channel on October 21, 2026, and the event on the game page runs from October 23 to November 23, 2026. That is why the game's name carried a pumpkin on November 12, 2026. The game page shows its last update on November 5, 2026.
Game passes and badges
The official store has six passes, all cosmetic or convenience: Early Access, Awakening Outfits, More Emote Slots, Second Emote Page, Custom Kill Sound and More Build Saves. Early Access is the one people ask about: it opens new content before the free release, like the Puppet Master free release the official event announced on February 20, 2026. Second Emote Page was not on sale when we checked on November 13, 2026. None of the passes adds damage.
Badges are simple. Your First Kill has been earned by more than 24 million players. Two others, Trophy Shenanigans and Bouquet Shenanigans, came from Medal.TV quests and are much rarer. A fourth badge, FILE 0 DELETED, is for your first kill with Cursed Child.
Jujutsu Shenanigans codes
There are no confirmed working Jujutsu Shenanigans codes on November 13, 2026. We checked Pocket Tactics (updated November 11), Destructoid (November 9), Pocket Gamer (November 7), Pro Game Guides (November 5) and Beebom (November 1). They disagree. A7D2L26RNEPG74A3Q is still listed as working by some of them but marked expired by Destructoid and Pro Game Guides. RIA2026, the Innovation Awards code, is listed as working by several sites but is missing from Pocket Gamer and has been reported as expired since the end of October. We would rather show you nothing than a code that fails. When a code passes our check, it will appear in a table right here and on our Roblox codes list.
Codes in this game usually give Cash and emotes, and Beebom notes they expire quickly. Cash buys emotes, so codes never make your character stronger.
How to redeem Jujutsu Shenanigans codes
- Launch Jujutsu Shenanigans on Roblox.
- Open the Shop with the button in the top left, next to character select.
- Go to the Rewards tab.
- Type the code exactly as written and press Enter or Redeem.
Why a code fails
- It expired. Codes here can stop working soon after release.
- A typo. Long codes like the letter and number mixes are easy to get wrong. Copy and paste.
- You already used it. Each code works once per account.
New codes come out with updates. Tze runs a community Discord called The Z's, and Pocket Tactics points to its Jujutsu Shenanigans channels for update news.
