Yuji Itadori’s Growth In Shinjuku Showdown Was Staggering

  • Yuji Itadori Gained Multiple Powers Before Shinjuku Showdown
  • Yuji Awakened A New Cursed Technique

Throughout the series, Yuji Itadori wasn’t the most dynamic or powerful character, but he certainly wasn’t the least interesting either. His popularity in Japan, as evidenced by numerous polls, might suggest otherwise, but that doesn’t diminish his value. When the chips were down, Yuji consistently rose to the occasion, a fact that fans witnessed across several major story arcs.

Did this brat just use Reverse Cursed Technique? – Sukuna

It was observed that Yuji was practicing with a specific group, comprising Yuta Okkotsu, Kusakabe, and Gojo. Details about their training sessions are scarce, but it’s certain that Yuta, known for his mastery over cursed energy, significantly enhanced Yuji’s abilities. During their joint efforts against Sukuna, it’s possible they developed techniques together. However, Yuji’s sparring with Kusakabe was particularly significant. Through this training, he discovered the potency of a simple domain, a skill that ultimately saved his life and gave him the edge to defeat Sukuna permanently.

Simultaneously, Yuji consumed the Death Paintings numbers 4 through 9, which granted him control over Blood Manipulation and aided his efficient healing. However, he continues to face challenges in mastering the complex abilities associated with the Blood Manipulation cursed skill effectively.

Yuji’s Victory Over Sukuna Ended The Culling Game

Yuji’s Shrine Helped Him Power Through In The Fight Against Sukuna

During the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Yuji Itadori significantly developed his abilities. In this part of the story, he showcased all the skills he had acquired during the timeskip, including the Reverse Cursed Technique and Simple Domain. But what’s truly remarkable is that he also discovered new powers in this battle. The most striking of these new abilities was the Shrine cursed technique that he activated. This technique resides within Yuji because Sukuna dwells inside him, as Gojo had observed with his Six Eyes. Essentially, Yuji’s body is being filled with Sukuna’s cursed energy, granting him access to this cursed technique. This ability was triggered when he unleashed a powerful black flash against Sukuna, after which he began to combine the destructive powers of the Shrine with his capability to harm souls.

That’s right, Sukuna! I can kill you! – Yuji Itadori

In summary, Yuji crafted a soul-dividing Dismantle and Cleave replica, which proved crucial in vanquishing Sukuna during their battle. To make matters more impressive, at the last moment, he expanded his domain, though its workings remained enigmatic. Viewers were puzzled by how Yuji managed to materialize various locations from his recollections within this domain. However, these intricacies pale in comparison to what followed: Yuji unleashed a Soul-Fragmenting Dismantle on Sukuna, followed by a powerful black flash. This fatal strike marked the end of Sukuna as the Curse King and ultimately led to his permanent downfall. With Sukuna expelled from Megumi’s body, Yuji was hailed victorious.

To my amazement, I once again found myself attempting to rescue Sukuna. I offered him another opportunity to start fresh, but true to his words, he held on until the very last breath, ultimately succumbing as a curse. This marked the end for the Curse King, while for me, this moment signified a new chapter in my life – a testament to the heightened strength I’d achieved and my continued journey towards power, all with the aim of protecting those I hold dear.

After Sukuna’s defeat, the Culling Games also came to an end. Fans were thrilled as the sorcerers reunited once more. The hierarchy shifted when those in power were dealt with, particularly those who held sway over the ordinary domain. Simultaneously, the Jujutsu Society began undergoing reform. As usual, Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara took on their daily tasks, confronting threats and proving that even without Gojo, they were ready to shoulder the responsibility.

In the final chapter of JJK, fans witnessed a heartfelt flashback between Yuji and Gojo. Gojo imparted his dream onto Yuji, recognizing that he alone could shoulder the responsibility. He urged Yuji to let go of him and instead find a newfound strength necessary for him as he navigated the perilous path towards becoming a powerful sorcerer. However, when Yuji responded by saying he would never forget Gojo and continue in his best work, it only strengthened Gojo’s conviction. This was essentially the moment where Gojo’s dream morphed into Yuji’s, allowing Gojo to depart from the Jujutsu world with peace of mind. In essence, this farewell message from Gojo to Yuji was both profound and fitting in many ways.

Following Gojo’s departure, it’s now Yuta and Yuji who are deemed the most powerful sorcerers globally. While Yuji has a greater inherent potential, at this moment, Yuta continues to hold the title of the strongest. Yet, Yuji’s conclusion was quite impressive, as fans witnessed him instilling inspiration in upcoming cursed energy users to contribute positively to society.
