Jujutsu Kaisen’s Yuji Needs One Key Technique to Defeat Sukuna

The debate in the fandom over who will defeat Ryomen Sukuna, the king of curses in Jujutsu Kaisen, continues. However, recent chapters suggest that the series is following the classic trope of the protagonist defeating the antagonist, suggesting Yuji Itadori will secure victory. Yet, the method by which Yuji will achieve this victory remains uncertain, given the vast gap between him and Sukuna.

The recently released chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen hint at major evidence of how Yuji Itadori could defeat Sukuna once and for all. While chapter #257 of Jujutsu Kaisen reveals a shocking connection between Yuji and Sukuna stemming from one single soul, chapter #258 goes on to reveal how techniques could be inherited by swapping souls.

In chapter #258, to combat Sukuna’s desperate Domain Expansion, Yuji unveils a hidden technique: the Simple Domain. This technique, crucial for countering domains, is made possible through Ui Ui’s cursed technique, facilitating a body swap with Atsuya Kusakabe, as revealed in a flashback. With Kusakabe in his body, Yuji learns the technique, enabling his body to retain the knowledge. This suggests that Yuji may have already acquired the pivotal technique needed to confront and defeat Sukuna.

Yuji Itadori’s Domain Will Be Similar To Sukuna’s

Yuji and Sukuna have shared a body, meaning Yuji’s Domain could bear similarities to Sukuna’s

In chapter #258 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Kusakabe highlights that Yuji’s remarkable growth as a sorcerer is attributed to the “imprint” left by Sukuna in his body. This sheds light on how Yuji could employ a cursed technique akin to Sukuna’s Shrine in chapter #257. Moreover, the similarity between Sukuna’s and Yuji’s souls hints at their potential synergy, possibly leading to the manifestation of a shared domain in the near future.

With Sukuna having previously utilized Domain Expansion while in Yuji’s body, it’s highly probable that Yuji has either learned to manifest this domain or has made significant progress towards it during his training prior to the showdown with Sukuna. Consequently, it appears that Yuji will soon unleash his own Domain Expansion, a domain reminiscent of Sukuna’s, which could prove instrumental in defeating the king of curses by trapping him within his own attack.

Expanding Yuji Itadori’s Domain Is The Only Way To Defeat Sukuna

Sukuna will have no counterattacks to use against a Domain similar to his.

Throughout the millennia, Sukuna, the formidable king of curses, has yearned for a worthy adversary, yet none have approached his level. However, recent revelations in chapters #257 and #258 suggest that Yuji possesses a soul akin to Sukuna’s, possibly even making him Sukuna’s nephew. This shared soul connection is further emphasized by Sukuna imparting his techniques to Yuji through their coexistence.

The accumulating evidence strongly suggests that Gege Akutami has been molding Yuji to resemble Sukuna, or perhaps even surpass him, albeit in a more benevolent manner. Unlike Sukuna, Yuji is not driven by malevolence or selfish desires. This stark contrast makes Yuji the ideal foil to Sukuna, offering depth to his character by fulfilling Sukuna’s long-standing desire for a counterpart who mirrors him in essence but differs in moral alignment.

The potential manifestation of a domain similar to Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine by Yuji could indeed serve as the ultimate counter-attack against the king of curses. While Sukuna may have developed strategies to counter opponents’ domains with his own, finding himself ensnared within a domain closely resembling his own could catch him off guard. This revelation might force Sukuna to confront the realization that his own immense power could be his undoing, adding a compelling layer of complexity to his conflict with Yuji in Jujutsu Kaisen.
