Cartoon Voodoo Doll Novels & Stories

voodoo doll plushes are such a fun niche! My go-to spots are usually specialty online stores like AmiAmi or HobbyLink Japan—they often get limited-run items from obscure series. For something more mainstream, Crunchyroll's store occasionally stocks them too, especially around Halloween.

If you're after something specific, like a 'Jujutsu Kaisen' curse doll or a 'Hetalia' character, eBay and Mercari Japan are treasure troves—just be prepared to hunt and potentially pay reseller prices. Etsy also has amazing handmade versions from indie artists who take custom orders. Last year, I snagged a 'Black Butler' Grell-inspired voodoo doll there with embroidered details that blew my mind!

Ohhh, cursed voodoo dolls in anime? That's such a niche but fascinating topic! I haven't stumbled across one that's entirely centered on a voodoo doll, but there are definitely horror series that dabble in similar cursed object tropes. 'Jigoku Shoujo' (Hell Girl) comes to mind—while it's more about vengeful spirits, the way curses manifest feels adjacent to voodoo doll logic. The dolls in that show are conduits for suffering, which gives off major cursed vibes.

Another one worth mentioning is 'Another', where a cursed classroom unravels a chain of gruesome deaths. It's not a voodoo doll per se, but the way the curse operates feels like a twisted game of fate, almost like someone's pulling invisible strings. If you're into atmospheric horror with a side of psychological dread, these might scratch that itch while you hunt for the perfect voodoo doll story.

One of the most iconic characters with a voodoo doll power is Hisoka from 'Hunter x Hunter'. Hisoka's Bungee Gum ability, while not a traditional voodoo doll, has a similar vibe—it lets him attach his aura to objects or people, controlling their movements like a puppeteer. The way he toys with his opponents, stretching and retracting his strings, feels eerily like a voodoo master pulling the strings of fate. Hisoka's playful yet sinister personality adds to the effect; he treats battles like a game, grinning as he manipulates his targets. It's not the classic 'stick pins in a doll' trope, but the psychological domination is just as chilling.

Another character worth mentioning is Shigechi from 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable'. His Harvest stand creates tiny clones that can swarm enemies, almost like a voodoo curse where dozens of little minions inflict pain. The imagery of swarming, relentless attacks mirrors the idea of a curse slowly wearing someone down. Shigechi’s power is less about direct control and more about overwhelming force, but it’s got that same eerie, supernatural feel. Both characters bring unique twists to the concept, blending horror and strategy in ways that stick with you long after the episodes end.
