With Yuji gaining mastery over Sukuna's cursed technique, fans can anticipate his continuous growth and development, leading to a triumphant defeat of Sukuna and the eventual ascension as one of the most formidable sorcerers.
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238 proved to be incredibly intense as fans were finally treated to Sukuna in his full power. In the previous chapter, Sukuna initiated the process of reincarnation and reclaimed his original body. With Sukuna's true form unveiled, anticipation ran high among fans to witness his true capabilities. JJK chapter 238 did not disappoint, showcasing Sukuna's relentless strength as he engaged in a fierce battle against Kashimo, leaving fans awestruck.
As predicted, Kashimo eventually fell in combat, paving the way for Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma to join the fight. This long-awaited battle is the moment fans have been waiting for, as it marks Yuji's inaugural use of his Cursed Technique.
Itadori Yuji's Power At The Beginning
In the beginning of Jujutsu Kaisen, it was evident to fans that Yuji was an ordinary boy, despite his exceptional physical abilities. He did not possess the ability to use sorcery until he encountered Megumi, who exposed him to curses. This encounter led Yuji to consume Sukuna's finger, which bestowed him with immense power. Subsequently, he joined Tokyo Jujutsu High and underwent rigorous training under Gojo. Surprisingly, Yuji quickly became incredibly strong, but unlike his fellow characters, he did not possess a cursed technique.
Megumi, on the other hand, possessed the 10 Shadows Technique, which fans have witnessed multiple times. Nobara, another friend of Yuji, also possessed a cursed technique called the Straw Doll Technique. The majority of characters in JJK possess cursed techniques that typically manifest around the age of six, at the earliest. However, Yuji inexplicably did not possess one.
The Effects Of Being Sukuna's Vessel
Having a cursed technique is immensely significant, particularly considering that only a select few sorcerers have achieved success without being blessed with this inherent ability. While the majority of individuals awaken their cursed techniques at a tender age, fans were confident that Yuji would eventually discover his own later on. Initially, fans were not overly concerned since Yuji served as the vessel for Sukuna, and in critical battles, he would either prevail on his own or Sukuna would take control, wreaking havoc with his own unique cursed technique.
While serving as the vessel for Sukuna had its drawbacks, as fans witnessed multiple times in Jujutsu Kaisen, it also presented some advantages for Yuji. Being the vessel for such a formidable entity allowed Yuji to gain valuable experience in combat. Furthermore, Sukuna's presence ensured that Yuji was essentially immortal, as Sukuna would never allow him to die. However, the greatest advantage of being Sukuna's vessel was the eventual acquisition of Sukuna's cursed technique by Itadori himself. This potential was mentioned by those around Yuji on several occasions. Gojo explicitly confirmed that, over time, Sukuna's cursed technique would blend with Itadori's own, enabling him to wield it with his own skill.
Yuji Itadori's Cursed Technique Awakens
With time, Yuji would eventually acquire a form of Sukuna's cursed technique. While not an exact inheritance, it would operate in a similar manner. Past glimpses in the series have already hinted at this phenomenon. On one occasion, Yuji unknowingly managed to wound Sukuna, albeit only as minor as a papercut. Nevertheless, it served as evidence that the cursed technique was emerging within him.
It was predetermined from the very start that Yuji Itadori would be the one to vanquish Sukuna, a fact well-known to avid fans. The question that lingered, however, was the method by which he would achieve this feat. Now, the answer awaits the fans, as Yuji employs his own cursed technique to conquer Sukuna. Having already incised Sukuna before, Yuji possesses the absolute capability to do so once more. Following the clash at Kashimo, Yuji boldly springs onto the battlefield to confront Sukuna. Only the most observant of fans with inquisitive eyes could discern the uncanny transformation occurring in his hand, which eerily begins to resemble that of Sukuna. Presently, Yuji's hands bear elongated nails, a manifestation typically characteristic of Sukuna's presence. Thus, it is apparent that Sukuna's cursed technique has permeated Yuji's being. While unbeknownst to him at this moment, he possesses the potential to harness and master this power.
What's even more advantageous for him is the fact that the person whom he can learn from is right in front of him. Yuji possesses exceptional talent in quickly absorbing knowledge. Fans are well aware of his extraordinary ability in Jujutsu sorcery. Under Todo's guidance, he swiftly acquired the skills to combat a special grade curse. As the story unfolds, the character's development becomes astonishing. Now, he has the opportunity to witness the mastery of the cursed technique that he himself recently awakened. Fans can definitely anticipate Yuji Itadori's evolution in battle while observing Sukuna, and gradually gaining control over the powers of Dismantle and Cleave.
How Strong Is Yuji Itadori?
Currently, Yuji may not possess the highest level of sorcery skills within the narrative. Nevertheless, this decisive battle shall serve as his opportune moment for substantial growth in combat prowess. While his present strength may not surpass that of Kashimo, fans should undoubtedly anticipate his remarkable development as the forthcoming chapters unfold.
Yuji must defeat Sukuna at all costs. He was destined for this role, but he doesn't have to be the most powerful sorcerer. The reason is that Yuji has not only inherited Sukuna's cursed technique, but he also has some resistance to powers like Dismantle and Cleave due to their long presence in his body.
Since both characters possess the same cursed techniques, Yuji should be able to withstand Sukuna's powers better than anyone else. This is the key factor to consider now, and as Yuji defeats Sukuna, he will certainly become one of the strongest, though not necessarily the absolute strongest. It's time for Yuji to shine and for Sukuna to be defeated, and fans can expect this to unfold in the coming months.
