Warning: Contains spoilers for chapter #259 of Jujutsu Kaisen

It is evident that Sukuna, the King of Curses, is the final villain of Jujutsu Kaisen series, and Itadori Yuji, seems to be the only one with a chance of defeating the villain in the climax. Initially, it seemed hopeless that Yuji could even stand a chance against Sukuna, but the latest developments in the story reveal that he has learned more techniques during his special "soul swap" training, and some of them come from one of the strongest sorcerers in the series.

Chapter #257 of Jujutsu Kaisen revealed that Yuji and Sukuna share the same soul, hinting at a familial connection, possibly making Yuji Sukuna's nephew. This revelation suggests that Yuji could be a different iteration of Sukuna, stemming from the same soul. With this concept of similar souls in play, it becomes apparent that Gege Akutami may be introducing a superior version of Sukuna through Yuji.

Then in chapter #258 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the series delves deeper into the mysterious concept of soul-swapping, revealing that Atsuya Kusakabe and Yuji had exchanged bodies to facilitate the protagonist's learning of the Simple Domain technique. This revelation not only sheds light on how Yuji has been able to utilize fragments of cursed techniques but also suggests that there's more to Yuji's arsenal. Gege Akutami is pushing the boundaries with Yuji's abilities, as the latest chapter unveils even more techniques at the protagonist's disposal.

Jujutsu Kaisen Hints Yuji Has Learned Techniques From Yuta

Gege Akutami Is Merging His Original Protagonist and the Current One

Chapter #257 of Jujutsu Kaisen highlights the soul-swapping concept using Ui Ui's technique. It is revealed how Ui Ui can swap two persons' souls twice in a month without any repercussions. Chapter #258 then delves deeper, revealing that Yuji's initial soul swap was with Kusukabe. This exchange enabled him to acquire the Domain-countering ability known as the Simple Domain technique. However, this leaves the protagonist with one more soul swap yet to be utilized.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter #259 reveals that this enigmatic person with whom Yuji executed the soul swap turns out to be none other than the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Okkotsu Yuta. This sheds light on Yuji's concealed arsenal of techniques, hinting at his readiness to confront the King of Curses with even more power at his disposal. As subsequent chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen unfold, fans eagerly anticipate discovering the precise nature of the techniques Gege Akutami has in store for his protagonist.

There Is One Major Reason Behind The Choice of Yuta

Yuji Itadori's journey as a sorcerer has undeniably been remarkable, showcasing significant development along the way. However, one notable absence in his repertoire is the sorcerer's ultimate technique, Domain Expansion. Given that cursed techniques aren't Itadori's forte, it's understandable why he hasn't yet mastered this powerful technique. Gege Akutami's hints suggest that Yuji's eventual mastery of Domain Expansion could hold the key to defeating Sukuna, adding layers of anticipation to the storyline. Yet, the path to achieving this technique remains shrouded in mystery, leaving fans to ponder how Yuji will ultimately unlock this formidable skill.

This development could signify Yuji's evolution into a force capable of challenging Sukuna on equal footing, utilizing Sukuna's own techniques against him.

The enigmatic soul-swapping between Yuta and Yuji presents a tantalizing possibility that could indeed serve as the catalyst for Yuji to unlock his Domain Expansion. Okkotsu's unique ability to replicate and utilize other techniques offers a compelling explanation for why Gege orchestrated this soul-swapping between the two protagonists. By sharing their skills and experiences, Yuji may indeed gain insights into mastering this crucial technique.

The notion that Gege Akutami is shaping Yuji as a superior iteration of Sukuna adds a compelling dimension to the story. If Yuji has learned Yuta's cursed technique, he could achieve a Domain Expansion akin to Sukuna's, offering a fascinating parallel between the two characters. This development could signify Yuji's evolution into a force capable of challenging Sukuna on equal footing, utilizing Sukuna's own techniques against him.

By harnessing this hidden technique, Yuji may indeed stand poised to confront Sukuna and ultimately prevail, providing a satisfying resolution to the ongoing conflict in Jujutsu Kaisen.
