Shibuya Guide: Choosing clans and races for your cursed technique
About
OverviewShibuya is a Jujutsu Kaisen-inspired fighting game set 1,000 years after the original story. You climb the sorcerer grades, earn cursed techniques through hard trials, and contain curses rather than simply destroying them.

Shibuya [Beta]Before rerolling your Clan, check its compatibility with your technique
Instead of rerolling based only on rarity, check if your Clan's perks actually work well with your current technique.

Instead of rerolling based only on rarity, check if your Clan's perks actually work well with your current technique.
[How to choose which Clan to keep]
1. Itadori if you want to use Black Flash
It boosts Black Flash, making it a solid choice for players who focus on close combat.
2. Okkotsu if you are aiming for Rikka
Unlocking moves through your technique and unlocking them with the Cursed Ring are separate steps. Simply rolling the Clan does not give you access to all of its moves right away.
3. Compare races if you want extra survivability
Consider Death Painting for defense and counters, along with Human for bonus HP. Deciding on your goal and how many rolls you will use beforehand will keep you from rerolling endlessly.

How clans and races shape your build
SummaryClans give you persistent bonuses and unique skills rolled at the start. Races affect base stats and add extra skills on top. Because both affect your fighting style, compare the two together rather than chasing the highest rarity on each separately.
- Clan rarity tiers Common, Rare, Legendary, Mythic
- Itadori strength HP +35 and Black Flash upgrades
- Okkotsu strength HP +35, movement bonus, and Rikka access after technique unlock
- Zenin strength HP +50 and a 10% chance to awaken Heavenly Restriction
- Death Painting race defense, counter, ally detection, and a blood-based attack skill
- Races available five total, including Incarnated Sorcerer, Human, and Death Painting
Unlocking clan abilities — what actually takes extra steps
WarnEach of the three notable clans has at least one ability that requires something beyond the initial roll.
Death Painting abilities and when they apply
StepDeath Painting is a race choice, but each of its abilities has a specific trigger or limitation.
- Brotherhood Sense the location of allied Death Painting users through walls, but only if they are in your party or guild. It does not reveal every enemy.
- Rot When an opponent tries to inflict bleed on you, there is a chance you counter with poison blood. This is not a guaranteed constant effect.
- Cursed Reinforcement Builds defensive stacks that prepare you to absorb incoming hits.
- Blood Throw A direct attack skill tied to your race, available to use offensively.

Spending rerolls without wasting them
StepRerolling can change your clan, race, or cursed technique, but a better option is never guaranteed on the next pull.
- Write down your current clan, race, and technique along with what each one does for your damage, durability, and movement.
- Identify the specific ability you want for example, Black Flash if you are on Itadori, or Rikka access if you are targeting Okkotsu — and confirm what that ability needs to fully unlock.
- Check whether the rarity screen shows the chance for the whole rarity tier or for the individual option you want; these are different numbers.
- Decide in advance how many rerolls you are willing to spend and stop when you hit that limit or land a combination that covers your weak spot.
- Codes can award rerolls for clans, races, or techniques verify which type a code gives and redeem it on the right character before entering it.
Hardcore risk as you climb the grades
WarnShibuya has hardcore elements built into its progression. A death that costs little at a low grade can set you back significantly once you have climbed higher.
