Jujutsu Kaisen is currently experiencing its pinnacle moments in the manga. Gege Akutami’s series is currently witnessing indefinite amounts of twists one chapter after another. The only thing standing in the way of victory for Yuji and Yuta after Kenjaku’s death is Sukuna, and he is not going down lightly.
Recent chapters revealed that Yuji is attempting to breach the barrier that separates Sukuna’s body and Megumi’s spirit as Yuta and Rika battle Sukuna from the front. Additionally, the narrative has taken a surprising turn with the release of Chapter 251, shocking the audience. In Chapter 251, Sukuna also begins to completely turn the situation around on Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji, inflicting catastrophic damage on Yuta, the consequences of which remain unclear.
However, Yuta talking about Sukuna’s finger is the one thing that has captured the interest of the viewers. The recent chapter showed that Yuta allegedly ate Sukuna’s finger so he could copy his technique. But there is a theory that surfaced on the internet stating that Yuta is playing a bluff against the King of Curses, and the finger has a much more important role in the story later on.
Warning: Spoilers Ahead
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 251 Revealed Yuta Ate Sukuna’s Finger
Using his very unique curse technique, Yuta delivered a devastating blow to Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 250. Since Yuta had already imitated Cleave, he used this ability to cut Sukuna from his arm to his face. This shocked Sukuna, who couldn’t understand how Yuta was able to copy his technique.
Chapter 251 begins at the point in the story when Sukuna is amazed at how Yuta was able to accomplish this and inflict injury on him, to which Yuta replies that his final finger, which he was unable to collect, was still with him. Sukuna was finally able to figure out that Yuta needed to eat the final finger of Sukuna to obtain his Cursed Technique.
Sukuna describes this as “quite the meal” as Yuta and Yuji start attacking him once more, and Sukuna finally puts Yuji in a headlock. It’s evident how Yuta was able to use his technique on him by using this finger, and it also shows that Yuta is capable of using all of Sukuna’s other techniques.
Theory Claims That Yuta Might Not Have Eaten Sukuna’s Finger
According to a theory surfacing on the internet, it is possible that Yuta might not have eaten Sukuna’s finger and is just bluffing. There is a possibility that instead of the finger, Yuta asked Rika to consume the hand that Sukuna cut off during his fight with Higuruma, which gave him the ability to copy Sukuna’s technique.
The theory also states that Yuta might be using Sukuna’s finger as a bluff to distract Sukuna, and it has a much bigger role in the series. The finger can be used by Nobara Kugisaki for her cursed technique Resonance that will attack Sukuna’s soul directly, thus giving the final blow to the King of the Curses.
If this theory is true, it will not only mark a significant defeat for Sukuna, but it will also bring back Nobara, the character fans have been waiting to return in the series for a long time. She could very well be the final nail that will help Yuji retrieve Megumi from the clutches of Sukuna.
