Jujutsu Kaisen's popularity remains unmatched as the intense battle against Ryomen Sukuna wages on. With Satoru Gojo now out of the picture, the sorcerers face an uncertain path in defeating the King of Curses. This is why the highly anticipated showdown between Yuji Itadori and Sukuna is generating so much excitement.
It's no secret that Jujutsu Kaisen fans have been eager to see Yuji take center stage, and this could finally be his moment to shine. However, the question of how he will stand a chance against Sukuna still lingers, leading to various theories about his fighting strategy. Many believe that his long-awaited Cursed Technique could be the game-changer.

Yuji Itadori's Cursed Technique in Jujutsu Kaisen and how it could help against Sukuna
A number of Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts have long speculated about the potential Cursed Technique of Yuji Itadori. Even Gege Akutami, the creator, has been building anticipation around it. In a previous part of the series, Satoru Gojo mentioned that Yuji's body was adjusting to Sukuna's abilities and could eventually acquire his Cursed Technique. Many believe that this could serve as the key to defeating the King of Curses.
According to several theories, there are claims that Yuji consumed the final Sukuna finger prior to the battle. Sukuna himself suggested that Gojo might have found and safeguarded the finger as a means of preventing Yuji's execution. This is intriguing since there was a one-month interval between Satoru's release and their eventual clash.
The theory states that Yuji ingesting the last Sukuna finger enabled him to acquire his Cursed Technique. Consequently, Gojo allowed a month's time for Yuji to train and ready himself for this pivotal moment, in case he was unable to defeat Sukuna on his own.
Yuji's role in the final battle
Although there may be some logic behind this line of thinking, it becomes increasingly questionable when considering the lack of knowledge readers have regarding the Cursed Technique being discussed. Additionally, the fact that Sukuna, who theoretically possesses the ability to counter it due to his understanding of the technique, further adds to the uncertainty of this entire scenario.

With Satoru Gojo now deceased at the hands of Sukuna, envisioning a feasible path to victory for the latter in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga becomes arduous. While many fans are fervently rooting for Yuji Itadori to assume a more prominent role in the series, considering him as the main character, it becomes increasingly challenging to fathom how he will succeed where Gojo faltered.
The argument arises that Gege Akutami, the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, may have put himself in a difficult position by killing off Gojo, as there appears to be no logical way to defeat Sukuna. While Akutami has demonstrated his ability to defy expectations within his own narrative, there is no indication that Yuji can do the same, which is worrisome.
Admittedly, the presence of a Cursed Technique introduces a possibility, but it remains uncertain if this will indeed be the solution or if such an ability is plausible enough to overpower someone as formidable as Sukuna. It would undeniably be a significant moment for Yuji's character, especially given his connection to the King of Curses, but the manga has yet to provide a clear explanation for how he will achieve this remarkable feat.
