Jujutsu Kaisen Proves Yuji Itadori Could Get A Third New Cursed Technique

by

Chapters 20 and 21 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo have been incredibly exciting. The author, Gege Akutami, is clearly preparing Yuji Itadori and Maru to drastically change the future of the Jujutsu world. Yuji returned to the story after the intense battles involving Dabura, Mahoraga, Maru, and Tsurugi, and has been central to the plot ever since. He’s now back with increased strength, and appears more powerful than ever before.

Over the past few chapters, Yuji has shown a significant increase in power, putting him on par with incredibly strong characters like Gojo and Sukuna. He might even surpass them soon, potentially by learning a third cursed technique, especially if his upcoming fight with Dabura in Jujutsu Kaisen pushes him to unlock it.

Yuji Itadori is an exceptionally powerful sorcerer in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. He was born with a unique purpose: to be a vessel for the incredibly powerful Ryomen Sukuna. Sukuna eventually possessed Yuji, essentially turning him into a cursed object infused with Sukuna’s immense energy, marked by the appearance of ‘Shine’ on his body. Additionally, Yuji consumed Death Paintings 4-9, granting him a second, unique cursed technique.

Yuji’s First Cursed Technique: Blood Manipulation

Yuji’s first cursed technique, Blood Manipulation, came after he consumed Death Paintings 4-9. This gave him the ability to control his blood, similar to Choso. While originally used mainly for reverse cursed technique, it’s now clear in JJK Modulo that Yuji has fully mastered Blood Manipulation. He can perform advanced techniques like Piercing Blood and possibly even Supernova, among others.

Yuji’s Second Cursed Technique: Shrine

Yuji Itadori’s second cursed technique is called Shrine. He gained this ability after becoming Sukuna’s vessel, but it didn’t fully awaken until his battle with Sukuna himself. A strong Black Flash attack triggered the full awakening of Shrine, though Yuji’s version differed from Sukuna’s. Initially, Yuji’s Shrine manifested as precise, scissor-like cuts, unlike Sukuna’s broader slashes. However, as Yuji matures, he’s shown the ability to master Sukuna’s style of Shrine as well, allowing him to perform slashes without the scissor marks.

Yuji has already skillfully mastered two cursed techniques, and he might potentially unlock a third one called the Anti-Gravity System. If he does, it would be a huge advantage in a future battle against Dabura.

Yuji Could Have Awakened His Mother’s Cursed Technique Called Anti-Gravity System

Yuji Itadori might inherit a third cursed technique from his mother, which appears to be an Anti-gravity System. His mother, Kaori Itadori, possessed a unique ability and, while the extent of her Jujutsu knowledge is unknown, she had a powerful technique that Kenjaku stole. Kenjaku was able to use this Anti-gravity System while inhabiting Kaori’s body, and surprisingly, he retained it even after transferring to Suguru, keeping it hidden. This hidden ability was ultimately key to his victory against Yuki.

In his battle with Yuki, Kenjaku exploited a weakness in the technique to overcome even the intense gravity of a black hole. He could redirect the cursed technique’s energy, creating his own powerful gravity field around him. This gravity was overwhelming; even high-level cursed spirits were crushed and immobilized. Kenjaku’s power was truly immense, largely due to his mastery of manipulating gravity.

Since Yuji Itadori’s mother, Kaori Itadori, possessed the Anti-gravity System, it’s logical that Yuji would eventually awaken the same ability. While cursed techniques aren’t always passed down through families, they can be inherited, and Yuji is already established as an unusual case. This inheritance could become a crucial element in the story moving forward.

Yuji Itadori currently possesses two strong cursed techniques, but he may gain even more abilities as the story progresses. He’ll likely need Kaori’s Anti-gravity System if he faces off against Dabura, who has a dangerous technique called “Murderous Intent” and also controls light. Dabura has even reversed his light technique to create darkness, which draws matter towards him. It’s reasonable to believe he could combine light and darkness to form something like a black hole – a technique comparable to Gojo’s Hollow Purple. If Dabura achieves this, defeating him would be nearly impossible, even with powerful abilities like Shrine or Blood Manipulation.

Now then, why have you called me here? — Yuji to Maru, JJK Modulo Chapter 21

Kaori’s Anti-gravity System could be the key to countering Dabura’s abilities. Since Dabura’s power relies on gravity, an anti-gravity technique would be a perfect defense for Yuji. This new technique would also be incredibly useful in a domain clash, expanding Yuji’s combat options through cursed technique reversal. Effectively, Yuji would gain control over gravity itself, a power that previously helped Kenjaku during his battle with Yuki and Choso.

Yuji has incredible potential and is quickly becoming one of the most powerful sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen. He might even surpass even Gojo and Sukuna, and it will be exciting to see how his abilities continue to develop.

The fight between Yuji and Dabura hasn’t started yet, as Yuji is currently focused on defeating other cursed spirits with Maru. However, this battle is a possibility in the future, and if it happens, it promises to be an exciting showdown. Yuji Itadori is already incredibly strong, and he has the potential to become even more powerful. Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen are eager to see Yuji live up to the legacies of characters like Gojo and, in some respects, even Sukuna.
