Jujutsu Kaisen continues on its generation run, and fans are increasingly intrigued about the outcome of the battle of Itadori Yuji and Ryomen Sukuna, with fans coming up with numerous intriguing theories that will be used towards the end of the series.
One popular theory that has gained significant prominence lately is Itadori Yuji dying to reincarnate his Hein-era form, which would be the key to defeating the king of curses, who at the moment hails from the top of Jujutsu society and is untouchable.
Itadori Yuji might need to die to defeat Ryomen Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen
When Yuji became the vessel for the king of curses at the beginning of the story, many speculated it to be of a similar theme to Naruto.
However, it proved to be one of the wrong theories, as Sukuna turned out to be a heinous villain who disposes of everyone and does not have a single thing that makes him likable.
Currently, the manga is heading towards its epilogue, with battles being fought everywhere, most characters being involved in the fight, and the death toll rising.
With the demise of Gojo, who was the emblem of hope in the Jujutsu world and one of the only ones who could take down Sukuna, all the hopes now rest on Itadori’s shoulder due to him being the main character.
A popular theory has started to gain momentum, which depicts Itadori dying for the third time to reincarnate his Heian-era form and kill the king of curses.

As seen in the story numerous times, Sukuna mentions that Itadori reminds him of someone from the Heian era, and according to the theory, it might be a relative of Itadori Yuji.
However, all of this is still speculation, but we know Gege Akutami’s habit of pulling out random twists in the story, and they might adopt this into the story.
What’s happening in Jujutsu Kaisen?
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga is on a fantastic run, with each chapter only getting the fans more and more immersed in the storyline.
Many fan-favorite characters have died in the story, and the latest chapter might also have been the last of Choso, who was given the donut treatment by Sukuna.
Itadori tried to take on the king of curses but failed due to the power gap between them, and Sukuna also managed to deal a fatal blow to Yuji.
Higuruma is the character who impressed Sukuna the most, and the king of curses even hailed him as a talent on the same level as Gojo Satoru.
The last panel of the chapter should show Yuji stabbing Sukuna with an executioner’s sword, which would eradicate his soul. The next chapter is the most crucial in the story.
