Highlights
Yuta possesses a tremendous amount of cursed energy that even surpasses Gojo's, making him an extremely powerful sorcerer.
Yuta possesses the capacity to summon and harness the assistance of Rika, a formidable cursed spirit. This bond not only aids him in combat but also grants him access to a variety of techniques and cursed tools.
With the unique ability to replicate and master numerous cursed techniques, Yuta's power is reckoned as one of the most lethal forces in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. He exhibits the potential to rival even Gojo and surpass the ranks of the Special Grade.
Yuta, a prominent figure among the next generation of sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen, holds immense strength and significance. While his impact on the story has been limited thus far, fans have eagerly anticipated his moment in the spotlight following Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
Fortunately, Yuta emerged as a pivotal character shortly after the Shibuya incident and has since proven to be indispensable. Within the Culling Game arc, he has engaged in numerous battles, demonstrating his formidable abilities. Even esteemed individuals like Gojo have recognized and applauded Yuta's exceptional power. His true potential is both awe-inspiring and frightening.
Yuta's Cursed Energy
Yuta did not always possess the ability to manifest cursed energy. It was only after he transformed his loved one into a cursed spirit that he began to exhibit this energy. That was when he discovered that he had a strong affiliation with Michizane Sugawara, much like Gojo Satoru. Thanks to his connection with Rika, Yuta was able to tap into an almost limitless amount of cursed energy. In just one year of training, he was able to learn advanced techniques with the help of this energy. Over time, Yuta has further honed his powers and his status as a special great sorcerer confirms how formidable he truly is.
Yuta's reserve of cursed energy is astonishingly vast, surpassing even that of Gojo. Many who have faced him have acknowledged this on numerous occasions. Yuji himself acknowledged that his cursed energy was comparable to Gojo's, but it had a more ominous presence. In the Culling Game, Ryu Ishigori, the participant with the highest cursed energy output, believed that Yuta possessed an unlimited reservoir of cursed energy. Fans have witnessed Yuta utilizing this power in various ways, establishing him as one of the most dominant characters in terms of cursed energy. The only character Yuta considers to surpass him in cursed energy is Sukuna, whom he believes possesses twice as much as him.
Yuta's Connection To Rika
Yuta has complete control over when he can summon Rika, as fans have witnessed in Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Rika, a formidable cursed spirit, assists Yuta in battle. While she typically follows Yuta's commands, there are moments when she acts independently out of overprotectiveness. Even after the events of JJK 0, Yuta is able to manifest Rika and utilizes her abilities to unlock additional techniques and store cursed tools. With Rika by his side, Yuta becomes nearly invincible in combat. As demonstrated in his clash against Yuji, Rika possesses considerable strength, effortlessly restraining him and showcasing her power.
When the situation becomes particularly challenging, Yuta can activate his ring to fully manifest Rika and tap into her boundless cursed energy. This energy not only replenishes Yuta's own vast reserves of cursed energy but also amplifies his powers. Teamed up with the Queen of Curses, Yuta possesses extraordinary strength. Before undergoing intense training, he effortlessly dispatched Suguru. Since then, both his strength and bond with Rika have significantly strengthened, granting him even greater control over cursed energy and establishing him as an unstoppable force in combat.
Yuta's Cursed Technique
Yuta possesses a Cursed Technique that is considered one of the deadliest in the world of JJK. His ability allows him to replicate any desired cursed technique, but certain conditions must be met before he can use this power. One requirement is establishing a complete connection with Rika, enabling Yuta to access the techniques. Once connected, he can utilize his cursed energy to copy and utilize multiple other techniques at will. Additionally, Yuta is capable of using these techniques in rapid succession, highlighting his exceptional proficiency in manipulating cursed energy. The exact steps needed to copy a cursed technique are unknown, but it is revealed that he could only use sky manipulation after Rika consumed Uro's arm.
This implies that specific prerequisites must be fulfilled in order to employ cursed energy. Yuta has demonstrated the use of Shikigami and even mimicked Toge's inherited cursed technique, Cursed Speech. Though initially struggling with control, he has since mastered the power to the point of manifesting snake-like symbols on his mouth. It is clear that Yuta possesses an exceptionally formidable Cursed Technique, potentially making him one of the most powerful individuals in history.
How Strong Is Yuta?
Yuta stands out as one of the most promising young sorcerers in JJK, showcasing remarkable potential. Gojo himself acknowledges this, stating that Yuta has the capacity to rival even his own immense power. An endorsement from someone as dominant in combat as Gojo speaks volumes. Yuta's rapid progress further supports this notion, as he endeavors to reach heights comparable to Gojo. Moreover, Gojo anticipates that the upcoming generation of sorcerers will surpass the Special Grade level, and Yuta is undoubtedly among those expected to elevate the field.
While Yuta's battle prowess impressively allows him to hold his ground against formidable opponents like Sukuna, defeating the latter poses a significant challenge, if not an impossibility. Nonetheless, there remains ample room for Yuta's growth, and as he matures, he will undoubtedly evolve into a force to be reckoned with. Given favorable circumstances, Yuta may even surpass Gojo himself. Undeniably, Yuta possesses an overwhelming amount of cursed energy and exhibits a fierce command over his Cursed Technique, making him an exceptionally formidable sorcerer.
