This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen’s Ending.

The anime series “Jujutsu Kaisen” formally concluded in 2024, however, its enduring popularity continues to captivate fans. They remain eagerly anticipating updates from Gege Akutami, the author, who occasionally shares intriguing tidbits of information. The storyline of “Jujutsu Kaisen” ended on an unexpected note as the protagonist, Yuji Itadori, successfully vanquished Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses.

Fans are well-aware that Sukuna was extraordinarily powerful, yet somehow Yuji was able to subdue him. This was primarily due to his skillful application of two potent dark arts. In the Shinjuku Showdown Arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gege Akutami unveiled two unique dark arts belonging to Yuji, with one being exceptionally unique. The first is the Blood Manipulation, and the second is the Shrine technique, which he inherited from Sukuna.

  • Yuji has immense power up his sleeve

In the series “Jujutsu Kaisen,” Yuji Itadori stands out not only for being the main character, but also due to his unique ability – he wields not one, but two cursed techniques. At the start of the story, Yuji didn’t have any cursed technique at all, which might surprise some fans. Initially, Yuji could only use what was known as Divergent Fist, a method of channeling his cursed energy creatively. As for an innate technique, he had none. However, everything changed during the “Shinjuku Showdown Arc” when Yuji unveiled his two hidden powers.

There’s still time, Sukuna. Let’s try one more time to start over. — Itadori Yuji

Gege shared with the fans that prior to the start of the Shinjuku Showdown, Yuji Itadori had consumed Death Painting Wombs 4-9. This consumption granted him the ability to control and manipulate his own blood, a power known as Blood Manipulation. With this skill, he can primarily speed up his healing process and also use it for combat techniques such as Piercing Blood, which proved instrumental in catching Sukuna off guard and allowing Yuji to endure longer in battles.

In the series “Jujutsu Kaisen,” Yuji awakened a unique cursed technique towards the end known as the “Shrine” technique, which he inherited directly from Ryomen Sukuna because they shared a body. This special ability allowed Yuji to attack his foes with powerful cuts called “Cleave” and “Dismantle,” but only through physical contact. As Gojo mentioned, this technique would eventually be etched into Yuji’s very being.

That’s right, I can kill you, Sukuna. — Yuji Itadori

Yuji Itadori Can Become The Strongest Sorcerer In The World

In the final stages of Jujutsu Kaisen, the emergence of two cursed abilities in Yuji was a significant development for the storyline. Essentially, this puts Yuji Itadori on track to becoming one of the most powerful sorcerers throughout the series. Although Gojo Satoru has passed away, the Jujutsu society still has a promising figure to lean on. With his two cursed techniques, Yuji has the potential to reach Gojo’s level.

Without a doubt, Yuji Itadori is on track to match Sukuna’s strength. This is evident from the narrative by Gege Akutami, who suggests that Yuji shares the same potential as Ryomen Sukuna. Once Yuji fully masters his powers, he will possess an equivalent might to the King of Curses.

Currently, Jujutsu Kaisen stands among the most popular shonen series globally. The manga, concluded in late 2024, is accessible online without charge. You can find it on Manga Plus, a platform where the series was previously released chapter by chapter weekly. At present, there’s a sequel titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo being serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. The next chapter, Chapter 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, is slated for release on September 14, 2025. Just like before, fans can read the new chapter for free on Manga Plus.
