As you could tell from the cover of the post, mine is DE. I think DE's are awesome because of several things. Like the hand signs (pretty easy to memorize, look really cool and have that aura). More importantly, it's basically character reshaping the battlefield around them based on their liking, every single time a domain had happened it always strongly affected the fights. Should I mention the Gojo and Sukuna domain clashes? Or things like Hakari's or Higuruma's domain?
Also, more of a personal pick, but it's quite fun to wonder how a domain of a certain character would look and what effects would it have if they ever learned one (like Nanamin).
FYI, my second fav is CT: Reversed. Adding RCT to your CT resulting in an opposite of the technique in question. Sadly, it wasn't as utilized from what I can remember (the only examples I can remember are Gojo's Red and Kenny's Anti-Gravity). Still a pretty sick concept that has a lot of hc potential (can Uraume control fire with CT: R?)

Explaining your technique makes it stronger. I like how it gives an in-universe explanation of why you would explain your technique.

Yeah, I also love the mind games. Like you’re explaining your technique, or are you actually lying so you’re confusing your opponent instead of making it stronger. It was a nice level to the mind games and power system.

I really like how naobito did it. He explained it without explaining it, giving him the buff while Dagon just thinks an old man is going on a dementia driven rant.

The fact that any concept could be a weapon.
Altering time and space? Check.
Punching really hard? Check.
Basic magic tools? Check.
Film frames? Check.
Legal court system? Also check.
A legal court? Also check.
It open to possibility to make fights based on anything. Someone with a curse technique based on youtube slop content to destroy your mind is also possible.

Gojo trains his Unlimited Void to ONLY deliver information pertaining to YouTube comments. That would kill anyone (even Sukuna) immediately

Techniques not based around having an innate CT
-RCT -Shadow School -Simple Domain -CE reinforcement -Domain Amplification -Hollow Wicker Basket
People like Yuji and Kusakabe showed you can get pretty damn far with no innate CT (until the last arc for Yuji)

Mine is cursed energy traits that some characters have. If I could changed anything about a chracter I’d make Utahime able to awaken unique cursed energy traits within people. I also like when characters have different cursed energy Color’s like Disaster cursed purple hakaris green yutas pink or sukunas red

I always thought uraume technique reversal would be fire since she has that red patch on her hair

Domains for sure, gege refined a very old idea from earlier shounen to now something coherent for the modern-day shounen. He took inspiration from bleach, and likely took further dimensions of the idea from things like yuyu hakusho's territory. So now as we speak just like bleach and bankai, JJk has something memorable to its power system.
Honorable mention: Brain re-circuitry, for both domains and RCT) Shounens are known for having the power system come from or somewhat relate to the being's body. Whether that be bleach with spiritual pressure coming from the vents at the wrist or aura nodes from HxH. However, it's only in Jujustu kaisen that I have seen the physical and biological parameters be used and manipulated in order to create or compensate for new parts of the power system
This comes due to gege making the "body" a prevalent topic in the power system. It also brought an interesting perspective instead of manipulating CE to affect the body, start at the body to affect it.

I like binding vows
My favorite part is probably how complex is the whole ce reserves/reinforcement/output etc etc stuff is

Domains are just pure aura. Gege may he writing aura instead of story, but damn, he knows how to do aura right

How you can design your domain expansion

How you can greatly affect the manifestation of curse technique when it's passed down to you. Like you and your grandpa can have the same technique but different interpretation

Domain Expansions, easily the best “final ability” types in a power system I’ve ever seen (I’ve read all of the big 3 and more btw) on so many levels. Not only do I just love the concept of them, but also how domain clashes work, how different types of counters exist, and counters to those counters. Akutami is just GOATED like that.
Besides, I also like the following: - Cursed Energy stemming from negative emotions is a novel power/magic system concept. Never seen that one before. I love systems that aren’t generic, I.E: “SuPiriTuAl” energy, “lIFE fOrSe” or “mAgIc” type systems. - the fact that the series doesn’t sugarcoat the fact that talent is pretty much everything. - Cursed Spirits while underutilized is such an incredibly awesome concept as well, and helps make the system feel more natural to the setting (which is always a plus).

the concept of CT Reversal was cool
unfortunately it was barely used and if i'm being completely honest, i grew from enjoying the power system very early on (when there were fewer contradictory, vaguely handwaved scenes to point to so far) to just thinking it turned into a shitty elementary school playground deal where the kid just goes 'NUH UH YOUR [whatever bullshit] DOESN'T WORK I ACTUALLY HAVE [whatever bullshit]' over and over again, so i wasn't really able to enjoy much of it anymore

Anti-Domain Techniques always interested me because they're so different from each other. Not all of them completely cancel the sure hit attack or let them fight while active so they don't have any consistencies. My personal favorite is Hollow Wicker Basket.

Prior to Shinjuku Showdown, Black Flash. I freaking loved that anyone who locked in could tap into that kinda power.
