Rika, also known as the Queen of the Curses is one of the strongest characters/creatures in Jujutsu Kaisen. Her love and obsession for Yuta Okkotsu make her extremely dangerous and so scary that even Sukuna praises her when he sees her first. Also, since Yuta and Rika’s return to Jujutsu Kaisen, they have become insanely powerful.
When fully materialized, Rika’s abilities allow her to store weapons, restore Yuta’s cursed energy stores, and battle alongside Yuta. Rika is naturally extremely powerful, but what makes her even more deadly is that she also has some degree of thought, emotion, and free choice. Fans have already witnessed that she possesses sufficient power to take out almost everyone in combat.
However, there are still some Jujutsu Kaisen fans who believe that Rika has yet to reach her full potential in the story and when she does, she will be unstoppable. While it seemed like a vague theory at first, an “error” by Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen might prove the theory true after all.
Theory Proves Rika is Going to Get Much Stronger
Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen recently commented about an “error” in one of the recent chapters of the series where Yuta is wearing his ring on the wrong finger. The comment was posted on X by @Go_Jover. Talking about the error Akutami stated: “Why the hell does Okkotsu have a ring on the middle finger? Who drew that? Whateverrrr”
While this initially felt like an honest mistake, however looking at Akutami’s past, it is highly likely that this error was no error at all. The theory states that Yuta is wearing the ring on the middle finger purposely, and when it goes on the correct finger, it will make Rika stronger than she already is in the story.
The ring was given to Yuta by Riko Orimoto when she was still alive as a gesture of love, and Yuta decided to wear that to metaphorically mark their marriage which showed his love for Rika. The ring has not yet shown any significance to the story and it can very well be the source of extraordinary power that will make Rika much stronger.
Rika’s Ring That Yuta Has Been Wearing Since Jujutsu Kaisen 0
The ring that Yuta has been wearing for so long may not hold much importance in the story, but it certainly is a big deal in the lives of Yuta and Rika. Rika gave this ring to Yuta to mark the beginning of their love and she promised him that when they grow older they both will marry each other.
Rika picked up the ring she had given Yuta from her grandmother’s wardrobe. Her mom had worn the ring at her wedding. Furthermore, Yuta held onto the ring after Rika passed away, and as a result, Yuta and Rika are now linked by it. Through it, Yuta has access to both Rika’s cursed energy and a variety of cursed instruments that are preserved inside of her.
Additionally, Rika appears and battles on Yuta’s side when he fully manifests her using his ring. Thus the ring has a lot of essential uses already and if the theory has somewhat credence to it, fans will soon get to see Rika in a much stronger and powerful mode than she is already in currently in the series.
