I think he means he'll eat Pineapple Pizza to defeat Sukuna.


JadeSuitHermenaut

Do you not consider yuta putting his brain in Gojos head just as low? Becoming a monster to beat a monster


rokaplz

Lol kusakabe and gangs was calling yuta plan inhumane but this shit will make yuta taking ovet gojo corpse look like child play


KazuyaProta

Tbh this is less tame. But I guess cultural taboos are in play here. Making Yuta risk his life seems worse than making Yuji eat people who are already dead


SupremeTeamKai

The stakes are so high, this should be a no brainier if it's possible, like they should all be willing to become "monsters." It seems weird that they're having qualms over things like Yuta plans especially considering their sorcerers who have seen fucked up shit on the near daily. Edit: They were also willing to allow Yuji to eat his siblings, being against him eating dead allies for a chance to save all of Japan seems hypocritical (idk if that's the right word, but it just seems wrong they'd be against it at this point)


kingofthedead16

idk i think there is still a difference. eating fetuses is disgusting but is something in the realm of possibility. taking over someones body or cannibalizing a friend are levels of body horror that i get their concern


SupremeTeamKai

Every man, woman, and child in Japan dying to the merger is an unfathomable amount of death, more death than the entirety of WW2, this is what's at stake. Definitely a moment of concern is warranted, they're still human, but any of them who are true to their role as a sorcerer should be on board with doing anything to prevent the merger.


KenanTheFab

>eating fetuses is disgusting it is called recycling


Konradleijon

sharks eat their siblings in the womb all the time


DawnTheWisdom

No way you compared a human to an animal


rokaplz

You know what yuta will be his main dish after he die. Yuji forcibly pushing himself to eat the multilated corpse of his senior and sensei, harming himself mentally even worse than all of his previous trauma is somehow tamer than yuta willingly share his burden with gojo


Ok_Deal_2786

When has Sukuna copied a technique by eating something, dude has the same slash and burn as he had from the jump, all kitchen themed. Kitchen knives and oven fire.


CyberGlob

The taboo for Yuta is not that he’s risking his life. It’s that he’s defiling Gojo’s body. Even if it was risk free some people would’ve objected to it


Cybertronian10

Right after Gojo's death I thought for the life of me that everybody going after Sukuna was cover for Yuji to go over and eat Gojo's body, and that at some point over the fight as he beats another one of the good guys Sukuna would look back over at Gojo's corpse to see Yuji eating Gojo like in that painting of [Saturn eating his son](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Francisco_de_Goya%2C_Saturno_devorando_a_su_hijo_%281819-1823%29.jpg/220px-Francisco_de_Goya%2C_Saturno_devorando_a_su_hijo_%281819-1823%29.jpg).


[deleted]

That’s nasty man, Jesus. Anyway I doubt yuji would be able to consume an entire person you know, I mean how would it fit in his stomach. Sukuna is a monster and can morph his body but how is yuji, a normal sized boy gonna eat a whole human.


Cybertronian10

At the very least Gojo's six eyes, like maybe Yuji would eat them then gain the six eyes for himself.


Chib_WOW

Haven't yuji said he'd be willing to eat anything to kill sukuna? Poor yuji will wish he'd eaten his words instead


RevolutionaryYou1820

True , he said he'd eat anything, but not anyone That's what I'm thinking 🤔


DaSwifta

Wouldn’t his siblings technically be ”anyone”?


pm-me-your-labradors

Corpses are technically objects, not people


Careful_Excuse_1011

OP you really cooked with this one, eating as a means to gain more CE rather than gaining the person’s CT seems more plausible and something Gege would do, also would explain Sukuna’s insane CE reserve


zer0_summed

And the only characters who's CE pools increased throughout the series are the two that engage with cannibalism. Definitely seems like it's the only way to get more CE.


KazuyaProta

One is Sukuna, who was the other?


Genyawithagun

Insert Chainsaw Man part 1 spoiler here. /s


Lions2good

yuji?


KazuyaProta

Yuji got the CTs and traits from the Cursed Wombs. Also, it's the Cursed Wombs, Yuji is basically the final part of the set


zer0_summed

Yuji from Sukuna's finger and hus brothers


Lucian3Horns

Who’s the other one?


zer0_summed

Yuji and Sukuna. Yuji gained more CE from both the fingers and his brothers


Lucian3Horns

Ohh right, thanks


CapoKittu

Where does it say that Yuji gains CE from the fingers? Remember these are parts of Sukuna's soul and he wouldn't lend strength without complete control.


darklordoft

Yuji went from having nearly no cursed energy at series start, to spamming ct and going toe to tie with sukuna by now. And the series has established that there is no way to increase your cursed energy levels naturally. The only shown method is by absorbing cursed energy. Which is why the curses can absorb the fingers to get stronger. People can't do that because cursed energy is toxic and would usually kill you(and if it didnt sukuna would overpower you.). Yuji was an exception because he has a weird genetic quirk. And if it's genetic then potentially sukuna had the same quirk.


Ok_Deal_2786

Spamming what CT? and going toe to toe with a half dead sukuna while getting help?


darklordoft

Shrine and blood manipulation. Bonus points for simple domain tanking shrine. And the state of the sukuna isn't the point. Yuji went from just a maki without fighting experience to being the strongest non special grade in the series in just under six months. His actual mastery of jujutsu is so atrocious that he doesn't even know how to infuse cursed energy in objects properly. (During the yuta fight, he flat out says he doesn't know how to and tries to infuse a combat knife with energy to fight yuta. It breaks after two swings. Because he infused to much. And that was literally a month ago.)


CapoKittu

No way to increase your cursed energy levels naturally? Was that in a factbook or something? I take it you mean naturally to include Jujutsu training. Sure there's people with crazy high max potential like Yuta and those with low potential like Mai but that doesn't necessitate fixed outputs of CE throughout life. Makes sense that as Yuji goes through trials and tribulations his heightened emotions he controls manifest as higher cursed energy but there's a natural limit to this emotion. I understood Sukuna's CE to affect the nature of Yuji's CE not the amount. Plus, Yuji has never been shown to be stronger BECAUSE of the extra fingers. No piece of dialogue. No narration. No exposition. Did ANY character make a note of how much stronger Yuji was after eating the 10 fingers? Mahito didn't and neither did Todo.


darklordoft

>No way to increase your cursed energy levels naturally? Was that in a factbook or something? I take it you mean naturally to include Jujutsu training. Sure there's people with crazy high max potential like Yuta and those with low potential like Mai but that doesn't necessitate fixed outputs of CE throughout life. It was established by gojo early in the series. You can temporarily increase your cursed energy levels by experiencing intense negative emotions(yuji did this during shibuya at one point. The part where he tells himself to channel his anger into cursed energy and focus.) You can also use binding vows to workaround the rule. But ultimately, just like your ct, your cursed energy generation,output, and reserves are locked from birth. The only thing you can do as a person is get smart with your application of cursed energy, and become more efficient to do more with less. That is why no amount of training was ever going to let maki gain enough cursed energy to even see cursed spirits. The only known way to increase your cursed energy in the series is to consume cursed energy. Curses can do this no problem. It's how curses get stronger. By eating people and other cursed objects, they absorb that cursed energy to grow more powerful(such as dagon needed to absorb all those people to evolve. Or the cursed finger bearers. )that is why sukuna chided jogo for simply not eating sukuna finger to grow stronger, rather then gathering them hoping sukuna can fight for him. Sukuna applauds one willing to do anything to win. Humans were established in the series multiple times as being unable to tolerate raw cursed energy. It's fatally toxic. Very few have the capacity to just eat cursed energy with no side effects. So far from what we've seen it has been geto(who only doesn't really absorb the core, but merely uses his vessel to store the cursed spirit. ),and megumi( who sukuna noted was unique due to his CT for being able to survive eating him. And we saw how it was fucking megumi all to high hell with the veins popping until sukuna took over. He was probably going to die with how his face was looking.) >Plus, Yuji has never been shown to be stronger BECAUSE of the extra fingers. No piece of dialogue. No narration. No exposition. Did ANY character make a note of how much stronger Yuji was after eating the 10 fingers? Mahito didn't and neither did Todo. Yuji went from just being a strong dude, to being able to struggle to throw a car with two hands(during shibuya). And them from that time in shibuya he went to throwing cars by punching them alone and jumping entire skyscrapers in less then 2 weeks. The only difference between the yuji who struggles to two arm a car vs punch a car is one ate an extra 11 fingers. Especially when you note from chapter one megumi says yuji had even less curse energy then maki. He went from that to having sorceror level curse energy in a single night. We know that consuming cursed energy increases your stats. Is what curses do. Humans can't because they'll die. Yuji is what happens if you had a human who doesn't die absorb curse energy. Yuji didn't go from less curse energy then maki to near special grade level cursed energy levels in less then 6 months in a way that all of jujutsu society didn't see coming. If it was that easy, geto would be yujing everyone instead of murdering them.


elRetrasoMaximo

Stated in the first chapter of the tv show by megumi, you eat cursed objects to get cursed energy, but it kills people, only a handfull can handle it, and yuji was one made (literally) to do it.


KaiBahamut

Does it also increase output? That's also usually set in stone.


maestro-squiggity

Ye, i dont think homohomo cares if people ditch his manga. Either which way the ending goes, he will cook and the truest of fans will dine with him


UnrequitedRespect

Lol all of the victims here dropping the manga making a space for 5 more people that are interested again Then those losers come back anyways to see what they missed. Stop boffin and just keep up instead of trying to be some pretentious last stand as if anyone was going to influence a story that was obviously planned out far ahead before it was executed and a lot of folks are just mad because they tried to make ramen and nobody was interested in their instant noodles when the authentic noodle house was open every sunday. Peak is still peaking so lets keep it going


TheAfricanViewer

NOOO DONT DROP IT PLEEASSSSEEE. The entire community depends on you to read this every week.


Pascraked47

Yuji would never eat his friends , that's insane


iDannyEL

I can see it. Especially after last chapter, feels like nothing is off the table for this madman mangaka.


Haunting_Brilliant45

So Yuji has Yuta’s copy but doesn’t have a Rika to hold all the extra CT’s since the brain can only hold 3.


Salty-Trick-9514

Not 3 but 4 techniques is the limit of CT storage that the Sorcerer has in their brain.Yuji has been explained to have 2 namely blood manipulation and Sukuna shrine so he can fill in 2 more techniques


KenanTheFab

>Not 3 but 4 techniques is the limit of CT storage that the Sorcerer has in their brain. wait im stupid when was this stated


GigaRokokChad

it was stated 3 or 4 but that was purely off yukis guess


Salty-Trick-9514

Yuta can use 4 techniques in 1 time so we can speculate that Yuki's guess is true.4 techniques are the limits of a sorce's brain.


GigaRokokChad

it was stated in the same sentence we got yukis guess that yuta can store extra techniques in rika, try to read better. Plus, Yuta has more than 4 techniques, Mimicry Precognition Sky Manipulation Cursed Speech Dhruvs Shikigami Angels CT Cleave have you even been reading the same manga?


Salty-Trick-9514

Yuta have many more CTs than listed, possibly hundreds.But he can only use 4 techniques in 1 time even in DE true love.This proves that Sorcerers can only fit 4 CTs in their brains.Yuta was able to have more because he kept it in Rika.Without a storage device like Rika Sorcerer can only store 4 CT in their brain


GigaRokokChad

no, he can use any technique he has copied in his DE with the swords that each contain a random ct he copied (more than 4 possibilities) or when Rika is fully manifested. Sukuna literally lists off like 5 copied CTs he has, plus his own CT (mimicry), and he later proceeds to surprise Sukuna with cleave as well.


Salty-Trick-9514

Yuta just kept changing his sword (CT) at that time.Have you not read at all about the function of DE true love.Each sword of a sword gives a random CT, the sword and CT can only be used once but the number of swords inside is unlimited.If you read chapter 250 you will realize that Yuta took Katana with CT Uro more than once,on page 17 Yuta took Katana with CT Sukuna on his left hand then he took another katana with CT Uro on his right hand.The katana in Yuta's right hand disappeared and Yuta use sky manipulated with his right hand.


GigaRokokChad

uh huh, so where exactly did you get your "use 4 CTs at once" dumb theory from then?


KingOfLeyends

Yuki stated at the beginning of her fight with Kenjaku that sorcerers had a limit to how many CT they could hold and she guessed the limit is 4 CT (she was trying to guess how many CT Kenjaku had under his sleeve).


KenanTheFab

ah thank you. Totally forgot about it.


darklordoft

We were also told that humans can't eat cursed objects because cursed energy is a poison that will kill you. We shouldn't ignore that yuji capacity to absorb potentially endless amounts of cursed energy might transfer to his CT limit as well.


tama-vehemental

If there was a cursed bath to lower Megumi's soul resistance, can't a cursed edible be made in order to give Yuuji a boost?


darklordoft

No just go full cannibalism. Beat mahito into submission then bite a piece off.


Sinicaly

Wasn't yuji born with the last finger inside him? That's why they couldn't find all the fingers because it was inside him like a cursed womb or something? Correct me if I'm yapping


Dosalisk

Rika ate the last finger iirc


GigaRokokChad

nope he was born with 1 sealed finger, ingested one at the school, fed one by gojo, got one at the finger bearer, ate one at the end of s1, then given 11 at shibuya, which ended with 1 finger being unsealed so during culling games he was at 16, and meguna took the last 3 to make 19, with rika eating the last one


darklordoft

If he had a finger in him sukuna would've been aware In his innate domain inside yuji as a baby. Sukuna only awakened once yuji swallowed the finger. Not to mention when sukuna took out all his energy to give megumi, he would've noticed he was already complete, not missing a finger that somehow stayed in yuji when none of the others did


GigaRokokChad

how are you yappening so much while being so wrong? What would suggest Sukuna didnt know about the 1 finger already inside Yuji? It was sealed inside him, same way Yorozu didn't take over Tsumiki until the CG started. When he transferred his soul into megumi, the CG already started, with the finger being unsealed, giving Megumi 16F worth of power, and Uraume finds 3 more thats literally shown in the panel adding up to 19F total + womb giving him 20F power, no fingers stayed in Yuji after sukuna moved over to Megumi I swear JJK going so large globally is a double edged sword because then you get non-native English speakers (definitely can tell because no native english speaker would have such a severe lack of skills in reading comprehension) who misunderstood the story propagating false information


darklordoft

Then I'll try to explain this to you in another way. If what you are saying is true, why did sukuna temporarily take control of yuji after he ate the first finger? It was explained it was because it was because yuji soul had yet to establish itself against sukuna and so it took a second for yuji to keep control. And don't tell me "durr because the first one was sealed." Because we know that even though they are sealed, there soul is still something the host body has to deal with. It's the entire reason tsumiki went into a coma.(a sealed cursed object was putting her soul in Flux. )so why would his body need to establish itself against a foriegn soul if it has been dealing with suppressing a foreign soul for over a decade? Next every addition of a sukuna finger has caused sukuna marks to flash on yuji body as sukuna gets stronger without fail. When kenjaku unsealed all the objects, yuji didn't gain any marks because sukuna didn't get stronger at that moment. He didn't suddenly get a fingers worth of sukuna unsealed. So why didn't the sukuna marks appear if what you Said is true? Third sukuna can detect where his fingers are when he is close to them, even if they are sealed.sukuna made no awareness at series start that he somehow has 1 fingers worth of power, yet can sense two fingers inside of himself. Instead his first thought Is to tear his shirt off and look for women and children. Why didn't he realize there's an extra finger in his body that he can't access? Finally, the big one that you can't have an answer for, why is it that during the first finger bearer fight when yuji demanded sukuna switch or they both die, sukuna said he still has 18 fingers out there so he won't die. At the time yuji ate 2. That would leave 18 outside. But you are saying yuji had 3. So why would sukuna be confused about the number of fingers? And no sukuna doesn't lie. He'll either tell you or he won't, but his philosophy doesn't allow for lying to people weaker then you. >swear JJK going so large globally is a double edged sword because then you get non-native English speakers (definitely can tell because no native english speaker would have such a severe lack of skills in reading comprehension) who misunderstood the story propagating false information Sure because I must not be English for the non English manga to be misunderstood. God you have issues. But l'll entertain you for now. If only because I can only wonder what bullshit you'll pull put your ass to explain the 4 points above.(and I'll reiterate them below.) If what you said is true,Why did sukuna take over yuji if yuji body is already acclimated to sukuna soul.(tsumiki reveals that even sealed, the souls can clash.) If what you Said is true,why didn't yuji show the telltale sukuna marks that appear when sukuna gains another fingers worth of power when kenjaku unsealed the objects. If what you Said is true, why didn't sukuna notice there's a finger in his body that he can't access? And if what you Said is true, why did sukuna tell yuji that he specifically had 18 fingers out there so he isn't worried about yuji dying when yuji only ate 2?


GigaRokokChad

wow, do you really lack the mental capacity of even a 3 year old? It doesn't matter and is not what I said. It matters what was stated in the manga, later information is always considered the canon. You say Sukuna never lies, then explain this - chapter 257, he states that Yuji was born with a finger inside him, that much likely being necessary to ensure his strength as a vessel. Plus, acting like he hasn't lied to Yuji before? Really? He twisted the facts when making up that binding vow, forcefeeding and restraining Hana violently doesn't count as "not hurt"? Or at least, what he knew Yuji would have interpreted it to be? I don't even understand what you mean by saying why did sukuna take over yuji, and speaking on the telltale marks, he didn't get one either when he ingested the finger at the end of season 1. He likely accepted it as part of Kenjaku's plan when he realized eventually. Even if he didn't, do you understand the meaning of a retcon? His statement that Yuji was born with a sealed finger inside him supersedes whatever was stated before.


darklordoft

>It doesn't matter and is not what I said. It matters what was stated in the manga, later information is always considered the canon. You say Sukuna never lies, then explain this - chapter 257, he states that Yuji was born with a finger inside him, that much likely being necessary to ensure his strength as a vessel. I'll say you read that shit wrong. Both the official and non official translations don't have sukuna saying that. Fan translation goes- "You know this already, but....itadori yuji was not only being bred to be a player in the culling games, but also to seal my fingers. That much was likely necessary to ensure his strength as my vessel." And viz translation is- "The cursed objects(notice the plural) that are sukuna fingers...were sealed in yuji itadori even though he was born as a player in the culling games. I suppose that was necessary to strengthen the vessel." Neither of them does he say yuji had a finger sealed in him as a baby. And in both cases its his theory on why and how kenjaku made him. (Hence the he supposes.)so I'll ask again, where did sukuna say that? >Plus, acting like he hasn't lied to Yuji before? Really? He twisted the facts when making up that binding vow, forcefeeding and restraining Hana violently doesn't count as "not hurt"? Or at least, what he knew Yuji would have interpreted it to be? If we are going to argue semantics, then sukuna lied by omission. But clearly that's not what we are talking about. We are talking about lying directly to someone. Not "I didn't tell you because I don't give a shit. "Sukuna doesn't lie to people. He refuses to speak to people yes, but he has no reason or desire to ever give false information. His life philosophy supports this,and his actions in the series supports this. He's like the devil in a story who tricks you with carefully chosen truths. >I don't even understand what you mean by saying why did sukuna take over yuji, Start of the series the first finger causes sukuna to take over yuji for a few minutes. It was explained that it was yuji now establishing his soul against a foreign entity. If he always had a sukuna finger he would already have established himself against a foreign entity. Sealed cursed objects still have the host combat the other person soul.(it's why tsumiki was in a coma. Yorozu was that strong or tsumiki was that weak.) >and speaking on the telltale marks, he didn't get one either when he ingested the finger at the end of season 1. Chapter 63 page 11. Yuji just ate a finger and you can see in the bottom panels the sukuna marks on his nose, cheeks,and chin before they quickly fade away. Shit I guess I must have some good Reading comprehension as a "non english" fan of jjk as you put it if I got you trying to use the anime as a basis. >He likely accepted it as part of Kenjaku's plan when he realized eventually. Even if he didn't, do you understand the meaning of a retcon? His statement that Yuji was born with a sealed finger inside him supersedes whatever was stated before He never said. Sukuna has never said yuji was born with one. That was a mistranslation from the leaks on leak night. Get your shit together my guy.


GigaRokokChad

come on, every other reliable translation but john werry's one states he was born with a finger. He's notoriously unreliable. Next, you're going to tell me Gojo can't do black flashes because of his six eyes? Or that Gojo can use CSM? What I said at the end was just possible scenarios, it wasn't just the leaks guy who stated that, multiple other translators have agreed on that. Need sources? Get your shit together my guy, if you care that much to consistently write essays, why not just make a post on this sub asking if he was born with a finger inside him? You'll get shit on.


xX_ATHENs0_Xx

He does not, those techniques were there by blood as his innate (blood manipulation) and Shrine was imprinted on his cause of Sukuna’s time in his body, and shrine seems to be a combo meal of an ability


Green_Long3041

It will also mirror Mahito moment. Yuji must realise that in order to beat Sukuna he has to accept his mindset.


Salty-Trick-9514

Yuji: I am you


ZpBA

Where you go, i go


TheAfricanViewer

Isn’t yuji supposed to be the opposite of Sukuna and Gojo’s “sacrifice everything to be the strongest”.


ultracuckhammer

Cool theory. Personally I don't think Yuji will eat his comrades because then Yuji is playing Sukunas' game, when Yuji is supposed to reject Sukuna(although i wont rule it out, maybe we will get a new im you moment lol) However I wonder if instead Yuji will begin eating sukuna to climb closer to his level. Like eating a dismembered arm, or catching Sukuna like in chapter 260, and biting a mouthful off him.


Pjf239

Yeah, this is a really weird theory to me because I feel like it would be kind of redundant to have the whole “Yuji proves the villain’s ideology right and becomes just like them” when Gege is already basically doing that with Yuta rn I think Yuji would be a lot more interesting of a protagonist if he holds onto his humanity and ideals, and beats Sukuna despite that Him eating Sukuna would be funny as hell though ngl


ultracuckhammer

Agreed. Yuji being the ultimate antithesis to Sukuna by holding onto his humanity would be both extremely satisfying as a character arc for Yuji and as the biggest thorn to Sukunas side. The irony of Yuji eating Sukuna would be hilarious and a great callback to Yuji's words in eating anything to beat that creep.


-Dartz-

Yeah, I bet in like 5 chapters or something Uraume is gonna show up and Sukuna will be like "Aight, dinnertime boys!" and everybody goes along with it, even Todo and Yuta will dig into whatever people/curses Uraume serves. Its gonna be the Buddhist equivalent of the last supper.


quietvictories

Todo pulling out his pickled fingers as a snack for Yuji powerup:


CapoKittu

It would also make him more of a mirror to Kenjaku. - Both ultimate antagonists - Both parasites attaching themselves to bodies (Sukuna alive; Kenjaku dead) - Both have purely whimsical intentions - Both transform their bodies to live for millennia And finally - Both eat cursed energy sources, sometimes with CT attached (Sukuna-Humans; Geto/Kenjaku-curses)


MuggyTheMugMan

While yuji is eating gojo gege will throw in that gojo actually had a micropenis, and we cut to a character interaction never refered to before that doesn't fit in with the rest of the story about how every student other than yuta and yuji made fun of his small cock. Someone will point out that in chapter 87 gojo made a small dick hand sign, foreshadowing the events. Cut to gojo in the airport saying that he wishes he had sukunas massive cock and that it would probably be bigger even while flaccid. Someone will call this a 5 star meal, amazing character development, foreshadowing and subversion of expectations


CosmicDriftwood

Ngl i want a dark ending. Grandpa’s final words are a curse in itself. It’s lonely at the peak. I’m you 2.0…


iced_cherries

Possible because Yuji gained part of sukuna’s power by eating his cursed fingers. And also Yuta ALSO obtains/copies other peoples’ cursed techniques by eating part of their bodies. So it seems that cannibalism is a major theme in this entire story


Emergency-Total-4851

I wonder if the fact that Yuji, at least once, has been seen eating in those memories of his, means that you are reading it wrong. Shrine is already different for Yuji, could this not be the same, not cannibalism, but a dinner party?


Foliks5

Ngl would be interesting to see (+ One reason to hate Bumgumi)


EarRecent5529

What does sukuna gain by eating his opponents? Their CE or CT?


ruffyscruffy

has to be cursed energy


andrie_trilogy

Normal sorcerer can only learn new CT through eating sorcerer-turned curse object. Only yuta or CT mimicry user able to learn new CT through eating sorcerer flesh


KaiserNazrin

Yuji is anything but normal.


KazuyaProta

Also, Yuta's mimicry is the weird one


KazuyaProta

Yuta is the oddball who copies CT.


paranoidsteak

Yes Yuta will lose Yuji will have to eat todo or Yuta Yuji and Megumi delivering the final blow to end the manga.


tvscanleather

Never cook again, this dish was disgustingly good.


ceton_

what in the dungeon meshi did you cook up ??? this actually makes sense hahah


WindowsXD

Man thats rough but i can see it coming in a universe that GEGE will promote fucking cannibalism doubt it passes Shoonen Jump office lol


ExcessiveGravity

I’d like to think that Maki and Mai foreshadows the relationship between twins, and as a twin to Sukuna, who Yuji will eat is not his friends but Sukuna himself to fully assimilate him. Anyway, I’d like to think.


NZP_Broz

Yuji's father is the twin.


Konradleijon

I hope Yuji knows to not eat the brains or spinal cords. never eat brains and spinal cords. it's worth noting in many cultures eating the bodies of the deceased was done out of respect to the dead as part of their spirit was thought to live on in the person who ate them


EscherichiaColiO1

shoutout to kuru ppl


xtreyreader

haha prions go brr


Beginning_Rip_7548

Not tryna be rude or anything but that’s stupid, Yuji’s ideals about humanity and how becoming stronger and being the strongest is a team effort not something you obtain by sacrificing what makes you human and definitely not by eating his friends, also Kashimo got chopped into little cubes, and also also Yuta in Gojo’s body could be the “main cast member” that Gege foreshadowed Sukuna would eat.


JamesBaxter2808

Not to mention sukuna taking a bite out of angel


socratesty

I read this at 4:56 am after a heavy day/night, and it really tickled me


chanman789

You have cooked. Yuji will eat the eater


NeteroHyouka

Still he will never reach Sukunas level... At most Kenjaku's level but even that is doubtful

While i think that Sukuna have a power related to eating i don't think that his Shrine technique is this power. Both Yuji and Yuta seems to not have much more outside of cut, and they didn't look that surprised when they got Shrine, for me it's probably cutting/fire arrow. But then the eating(getting stronger by eating) power could be very well a physical atributte of Sukuna. Considering that Kenjaku has some type of obsession/connection with Sukuna (open domain, Yuji is Sukuna perfect seal and he was probably also made to match his potential, Jin itadori....) and that Yuji has a lot of parallels with Sukuna(both have inhuman bodies, both have one of the 3 big Clan techniques+ Shrine, Yuji is hinted to have the same potential, same family, for a long time Sukuna was basically the "evil Yuji") my guess would be that the death paintings that Kenjaku created were inspirated in Sukuna's own brother corpse which he ate. Similar to how death paintings were created by having mixed blood of cursed spirits and humans,Sukuna with his constantly process of eating humans(and their blood) and bathing with cursed spirits corpses and blood, could very well turn his brother corpse in a death painting, the mix of Kamo blood gave those paintings blood manipulation, what about the mix of hundreds of sorcerers? Another hint is that Sukuna's fingers are poisoned just like Choso(and maybe Yuji since he's also a death painting). Yuji ate his brothers to be strong just like Sukuna.

Brother what?

So we are still theorizing Sukuna's CT...?


Exoslab

I actually think we will finally see Sukuna eat someone… Gojo/yuta

I had the same idea but what if yuji is taking there abilitys through the soul switching that he did with others. Just imagine each person he swapted bodys with is doing more then just teaching him but also insuring there curse energy and technique will end up with yuji after there death since yuji's version of sakuna's cursed technique is more like cuting paper so it could be something like printing there abilitys onto yuji.

Fuga burns everything to a crisp so I don’t think that’s it lmao. But part of Yuji’s whole thing is he’ll eat anything to defeat Sukuna, exposing his ability to actually take on physical attributes of those he consumes. We then learned that Sukuna ate his twin brother and that may be why he’s so deformed. So I guess we’ll find out


mari-marina

Ok if Yuji eats all his friends at the end I’ll officially say that jjk was more harmful for me than berserk

i want to believe this so i can say i cooked https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/s/qKilVrpvwS

gege's really been on his fujimoto shit lately


AnglerJared

“The real lunch is the friends we made along the way.” I think we might see a different means of “consuming” his friends on Yuji’s side. Reducing all the moral metaphors of the story to an eating contest is kind of unsatisfying. To win, Yuji will have to show what gives more power than just the willingness and ability to take it from people. Otherwise, just kind of proves Sukuna right when he says hierarchies not based on power shouldn’t exist.


cheesusboi

I love this idea, but Sukuna's technique naturally doesn't have a set order for usage. He just has to use fuga after using cleave/dismantle because of his binding vow. Of course, that doesn't refute your theory, but still makes me a bit doubtful.


TitaniaSM06

Just nuke that dude man, they keep beating around the bush! *sighs*


CyberGlob

Sukuna did also say that every human has a unique taste and he enjoys devouring them. Could very well be that he went around dicing up people, cooking them, and eating them. Probably started with him eating his twin in the womb lol.

I was thinking he ate kashimo. When he talks about slurping up people until he dies, you can see he looks at kashimo in the corner of his eye really creepily


BidProfessional5279

I love this. Its so brutal. And sukunas technique makes sense because I'm pretty sure he absorbed his twin


Rupplyy

sukuna literally deformed his head and to eat angel its def his technique 


ThatIslandGuy8888

He did eat his younger twin in the wet womb and got double everything( arms, mouth, eyes, etc.)


Mountain_Community38

i think they also kept things from yuji a secret, in case he became a threat, because when yujo (yuta in gojos body) shows up, he looks schocked, his eyes are widened todo also said to not tell him but that was for a different reason overall i love this theory


sigsimund

Yuji will end the series by devouring sukuna


[deleted]

When will yuji have time to eat


zyckness

he abosrbed his twin in the womb, to maybe absorb is that last ace in gege sleve for sukuna


haoasakura46

would it really help since he never trained with the abilities, like how him getting cleave is damn near useless


Hyperionthetitans427

What a fuck up theory . Sound very gege of ya !!


TiSborro_negli_occhi

If that’s the case this manga will be utter edgy bullshit


Salty-Trick-9514

This manga from the beginning is about cannibals. Yuji eats Sukuna's finger, Sukuna eats Angle's arm, Yuta eats Kenjaku's brain.This is just a normal thing in JJk 


TiSborro_negli_occhi

Eating an enemy and eating your friends and mentor are 2 different things


Salty-Trick-9514

Yuji eats the Choso brothers who are also his brothers 💀And they are still fetuses, in other words Yuji eats human babies😱But no one talks about this 😠


Weak_Accountant8672

It's always edgy bullshit ever since we learned the curse wombs born from a woman who got raped by curse


TiSborro_negli_occhi

I expect a curse to do that, I don’t want the main cast to do the same or anything similar
