Spoiler Alerts: The article contains major spoilers for the Jujutsu Kaisen series.
In the story of Jujutsu Kaisen, battles are a significant part, and Yuji Itadori has always been an unpredictable force.
Yuji Itadori is a fictional character and the main character in the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen created by Gege Akutami. He’s a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High and gets involved in the world of sorcery after consuming a Cursed Object, a finger belonging to Ryomen Sukuna, a powerful Cursed Spirit born from negative human emotions.
Alongside his classmates, Yuji fights Curses while trying to honor his grandfather’s legacy and help others unconditionally. He aims to ensure that when he’s eventually executed for consuming all twenty fingers, he won’t be alone in his death.
Yuji has always been strong, and his encounter with Sukuna made him even more powerful. Despite being the main character, Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen introduced Itadori Yuji’s Cursed Technique in Jujutsu Kaisen after 238 chapters.
Jujutsu Kaisen Manga: Chapter 238 Finally Showed Yuji’s Cursed Technique
Recently, there were doubts about Yuji’s power when he was separated from Sukuna, but now it seems like the manga is setting him up for a significant power-up.
This development occurred at the end of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238. The chapter showed Sukuna embracing his true form, which came with consequences. Towards the end of the chapter, two familiar characters appeared on the battlefield, and Yuji’s unexpected arrival surprised everyone.
Yuji leaps down at Sukuna from the sky, looking different with sharper facial features. He bites his arm, which has become sharper with claws like Sukuna’s. This has Jujutsu Kaisen fans speculating about Yuji’s new power and whether it will reveal his Cursed Technique.
While Yuji has shown physical strength by combining cursed energy with martial arts, it may not be enough to defeat Sukuna. Fans wonder if Yuji might gain a significant power boost from an innate Cursed Technique. Some are also curious if Sukuna’s influence on Yuji might give him some of Sukuna’s power, leading to a showdown between the two.
