It remains no doubt after the recent Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248 leaks that Yuta Okkotsu can still utilize the power of Rika and her cursed spirit to his advantage. What intrigued many fans is how the curse appears to be bigger and stronger than before, causing everyone to come up with their theories for the same.
However, one of the more plausible theories that comes to mind is Rika could have eaten Kenjaku, granting Yuta the ability to use Kenjaku’s cursed techniques. While not confirmed, this can be a likely possibility and could explain the reason behind Rika’s increased strength, giving her a chance to win against Sukuna.
It also remains unclear how Yuta can utilize Rika’s power at all after breaking her curse, and this is something that fans hope will be explained later in the upcoming chapters.
Why Rika Gaining The Strength Of Kenjaku Is A Big Deal
While it remains uncertain if Rika did consume Kenjaku or even a piece of his flesh, in the small chance she did eat him she would have gained the knowledge and strength of all the cursed techniques Kenjaku had stored over the years.
This at the same time also allows Yuta to utilize those cursed techniques, and as seen in the raw leaks of chapter 248 of Jujutsu Kaisen, it might come to their advantage in the battle against Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses.

There are a few seriously overpowered cursed techniques that Yuta could have gained by making Rika consume Kenjaku. Idle transfiguration and cursed spirit manipulation are some of them.
Who Would Win Between In A Battle Between The King of Curses And The Queen of Curses of Jujutsu Kaisen?
While the odds heavily lean in favor of Ryomen Sukuna, the combination of Yuta and Rika should not be underestimated and can give the king of curses a hard time in defending himself.
While it is true Sukuna has more experience and strength when it comes to Jujutsu in contrast to Yuta, he and Rika possesses raw destructive power that can overwhelm anyone. When combined with Kenjaku’s Jujutsu knowledge as well as his armory of cursed techniques, it is easy to say the playing field is leveled between the two opponents, and it remains uncertain who will win.
