Jujutsu Kaisen: Gege Reveals How Sukuna Is Related To Wasuke Itadori

As a long-time fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I must say that the recent revelation about Ryomen Sukuna’s reincarnated brother has left me both puzzled and intrigued. Having followed the manga since its inception, I have to admit that I was under the impression that Jin was connected to Sukuna in some way or another. But, it seems that I was wrong – or at least, that’s what the author says!

To be fair, I can understand why the author might want to make such a change. After all, the story of Jujutsu Kaisen is one of love, sacrifice, and the battle between good and evil. And, if Wasuke was Sukuna’s reincarnated brother, then that would add an extra layer of depth to both characters and their respective stories. But, as a fan who has invested countless hours into following this manga, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed that the author didn’t choose to develop that connection further.

That said, I have to admit that I find it hilarious that the author made such a massive mistake! After all, how could they possibly get something so fundamental wrong? It’s like they forgot that Kenjaku had children with Jin and not Wasuke – oops! But, in all seriousness, this change doesn’t really affect the story as a whole. Yuji still inherited the potential of these individuals and went on to beat Sukuna, carrying on the legacy of those who came before him. So, in the grand scheme of things, it matters little to me who was connected to whom.

All in all, I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Jujutsu Kaisen. Maybe we’ll get a flashback of Sukuna from the Heian era, where we find out more information pertaining to his reincarnated twin. Or, possibly yet a look at Wasuke’s life before he passed away at the beginning of Jujutsu Kaisen. Until then, I’ll just have to keep reading and waiting for new developments!

Oh, and one last thing – if Sukuna’s reincarnated brother is anything like his original self, then watch out! That guy was a real handful!

Change doesn’t affect Yuji’s powers; he still inherits potential and defeats Sukuna.

In its last installment, the popular series “Jujutsu Kaisen” wrapped up, leaving readers with a wealth of thrilling content before it concluded. The most unexpected treat for fans in the final chapter of “JJK” was a lengthy 16-page epilogue that delved into the lives of several characters and disclosed numerous intriguing tidbits to the enthusiasts.

As a long-time manga enthusiast with years of reading various titles under my belt, I can confidently say that deluxe or volume editions often bring about a whole new level of immersion and appreciation for the series. These versions are usually adorned with enhanced artwork, meticulously refined paneling, and sometimes even entirely reimagined scenes – all of which significantly elevate the visual experience.

Moreover, these deluxe editions often include author’s notes and comments on different scenarios, offering unique insights into the creative process behind the storytelling. One such comment in the case of “Jujutsu Kaisen” has completely reshaped my perception of Yuji Itadori and Sukuna’s relationship, shedding light on aspects that fans might not have been aware of before. This added layer to the narrative has enriched the overall storyline and character development for me, making the reading experience even more engaging and thought-provoking.

How Gege Portrayed Yuji And Sukuna’s Relationship In The Past

Previously, Yuji Was Supposed To Be Sukuna’s Nephew
Jin Itadori Was Stated To Be Sukuna’s Reincarnated Brother

In the Shinjuku Showdown arc of JJK, the connection between Yuji Itadori and Sukuna was disclosed to viewers for the first time. During their battle, it became evident that Sukuna was originally born as a twin. However, while still in his mother’s womb, he consumed his twin, which explains his current appearance. Essentially, Sukuna was cursed at birth and, in a sense, compelled to survive. It was later unveiled that Sukuna’s twin reincarnated years later as Jin Itadori, whom fans recognize as Yuji’s own father. Therefore, this revelation makes Sukuna Yuji’s uncle, which is something viewers had assumed until now.

Does that mean he has the same potential as Master Sukuna? – Uraume

In the finale of the series, the connection between Sukuna and Yuji was intriguing and offered insights into why Sukuna valued Yuji so highly, as well as why Yuji held such remarkable promise that could potentially match Sukuna’s own. Previously, it was believed that Uraume had explained that since Sukuna was Yuji’s uncle and inhabited his body, he shared the same potential as Yuji – a revelation that excited fans significantly. However, it has been confirmed that there is an error in the weekly chapter releases, which is rectified in the volume version of JJK. Contrary to earlier assumptions, Jin Itadori is not actually Sukuna’s reincarnated twin.

How The Final Volume Fixes Sukuna’s Connection To Yuji

Sukuna’s Connection Is Not With Jin Itadori But Wasuke

Delightfully diving into the concluding chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gege himself has penned intriguing annotations throughout! One of these revelations left quite a stir among fans. Contrary to popular belief, Yuji isn’t actually Sukuna’s nephew. Instead, it was unveiled that Wasuke Itadori, the very grandfather you met at the start of our series, is the one who had the brotherly bond with Sukuna!

This fascinating disclosure brings a new layer to the narrative, as once Wasuke departed from Yuji’s life, it was then that Sukuna stepped in. This connection seems more plausible than Sukuna being related to Jin, who holds minimal significance in the broader JJK narrative.

Yet, this change also significantly alters Yuji’s relationship with Sukuna, adding a depth and complexity that I can hardly wait to explore further!

In my personal experience as a reader of manga, I find it intriguing to discover that Itadori’s grandfather, not his father, shares the same soul. As someone who has followed the “Jujutsu Kaisen” series by Gege Akutami, I find this twist in Itadori’s family lineage adds an interesting layer to his character development and the overall narrative of the story. This revelation highlights the complexities of the supernatural world within the manga and raises questions about the significance of bloodlines in shaping one’s destiny. As a fan, I can’t wait to see how Itadori’s family history unfolds and what role his grandfather will play in the story moving forward.

Initially, Wasuke and Sukuna were like blood brothers, but later Sukuna swallowed him. Subsequently, Sukuna was reborn as Yuji’s grandfather several centuries down the line. Interestingly, Jin Itadori is actually Sukuna’s nephew due to this rebirth. However, this makes Sukuna and Yuji related as granduncle and grandnephew respectively, creating a complex familial bond between them.

In terms of Sukuna and Wasuke’s bond, it seems far more logical that they share a familial connection.

In essence, while Wasuke and Sukuna bore a striking resemblance, they were fundamentally different, particularly in their attitudes towards love and helping others. Fans had long suspected a connection between them. However, Wasuke played a significantly greater role in Yuji’s life, imparting lessons about love and altruism – concepts diametrically opposed to Sukuna. In a sense, they were two sides of the same coin; one embraced love but chose an extreme path, while the other rejected extremes and dedicated himself to helping as many people as possible. Ultimately, it was Wasuke’s love that proved to be the decisive factor in defeating Sukuna once and for all.

It’s quite unusual for an author to commit such a significant error as making Wasuke, supposedly Sukuna’s reincarnated brother. This blunder is not trivial and can’t be easily rectified in the revised edition without causing confusion among readers. The author seems to have made a major oversight here, leaving fans puzzled. Fortunately, in JJK, the final Saga primarily emphasized battles over lore details. Ultimately, Yuji managed to defeat Sukuna regardless of his familial connections, implying that their relationship wasn’t crucial in the grand scheme of things.

How This Change Affects Yuji’s Potential

Yuji’s Changed Relationship With Sukuna Doesn’t Affect His Powers

The author significantly altered the plot by introducing a major retcon in the story, as Sukuna himself acknowledged at some point that it was his reincarnated brother whom Kenjaku later had children with. It’s worth noting that fans are already aware that Kenjaku had children with Jin, not Wasuke, making this revelation even more puzzling.

In the broader context of JJK, whether Wasuke is actually Sukuna’s reborn brother isn’t a significant factor. However, if their relationship had been more extensively explored in the story, it could have had a substantial impact. Unfortunately, due to Wasuke’s limited role and lack of elaboration on his connection to Sukuna, this aspect doesn’t carry much weight for fans. Instead, it primarily serves as a link between Yuji and Sukuna, effectively fulfilling its purpose in that respect. Even if Jin were Sukuna’s reincarnated brother, the storyline wouldn’t have altered significantly.

In summary, Yuji tapped into the abilities of previous individuals and ultimately vanquished Sukuna, thus preserving their heritage. By doing so, he permanently broke the pattern, bringing an end to the tale of Ryomen Sukuna.

Currently, the manga “JJK” has been wrapped up. To the author, it doesn’t make much difference what unfolds in the larger narrative due to the influence of these characters. However, fans are thrilled that the long-held theory about Jin being linked to Sukuna has been validated at last. Although this revelation adds little to the story’s overall plot, it still creates an exciting connection for enthusiasts.

Perhaps, should JJK resume its storyline, viewers might encounter a flashback depicting Sukuna from the Heian era, revealing additional details about his reincarnated twin. Alternatively, we could also see a glimpse into Wasuke’s life prior to his death at the start of JJK.

In Japan, the much-anticipated epilogue for the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen has been released alongside its final volume, which is set to hit Japanese shelves on December 25, 2024. Fans of the English translation can look forward to reading it sometime in 2025.
