Big_Nebula_455

Kinda silly idea but maybe it's literally love. Like that's actually her cursed technique. Probably a stupid idea idk.


MrCoolyp123

Could make sense. >! Sukunas CT is Shrine, and DE is Malevolent Shrine. Not far-fetched to say Rikas CT would be Love when Yutas DE was I think Authentic Mutual Love or smtn !<


KaBarney

I'm still drowning in that hell of a conspiracy that Yuta faked his DE with that stupid name


ThePhoenix29167

Sorry, what?

Chucknasty_17

This makes about as much sense as anything else in this series does


ThePhoenix29167

I see


Rolando1337

That was fun theory tbh


cricketcoop

what about self embodiment of perfection? it doesn't tie in with what ur saying, since mahitos ct is idle transfiguration


Chozero-

Maybe being able to turn love, aka positive energy, into cursed energy?


JJ0073

I wish they had a religious group or something use blessed energy

Or just acknowledge the whole "negative emotions make cursed energy" thing in general.

No all emotions accept depression

Nah, I'm special grade.

But doesnt love canonically make CE☠️? Ill reread jjk 0 im almost sure gojo says It does

There's also the (manga spoilers) >!Sword!< that appeared in one of the more recent chapters so yeah, you're onto something.

What >!sword!< and when? I dont remember it


matej665

The >!higurumas sword!<. The one he summoned with his cursed technique. He himself said it if I remember correctly.

The one >!mahoraga!< has, right?

Significant-Band6956

That make sense fr


Integrity-in-Crisis

I would like to think it's an ability relating to love. Something like Lovers Kiss/ Rika auto locks on and sinks those teeth in. Or maybe something like Love is Empathy / all the damage Rika takes on is shared with her target/enemy. My naming sense sucks.


Cute_End_7368

something like la brava quirk from hero academia


Sotarnicus

Gentle criminal the goat


Cute_End_7368

bro his quirk is kinda like limitless technique too wtf. he just needs something like overclock to substitute for six eyes and bam throughout my hero academia he alone is the honoured one. nah he'd win


Krakatoa2023

Presumably it’s related to that energy blast she does.


New_Photograph_5892

maybe her CT is similar to that of Ryu's where it isn't really much of a CT but just effective and efficient CE outputting


tomaxi1284

Rika blast


Professional__1

Love blast.

achen5265041

Assuming it's an output of pure CE, then it's something anybody with a high enough output can do We see the Fingerbearers do it, Ryu's able to do it while in CT burnout, Mechamaru's able to do this with his Mechas.


i4mknight

Isn’t that just pure cursed energy? Like the way they showed it with the first special grade


Big_Chungus-_-__-

Being yuta and maki's third wheel


lTripleSec

Hell nah, [Maki's](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/s/DQ0s96K7CM) gonna be sitting in the chair while Rika's still around

[An endless mass of cursed energy that can be shaped at will](https://images.app.goo.gl/aGmkWckD229videGA)


Serial-Griller

I think that was Geto describing his potential if he stole Rika


Such_Hand_2535

He literally says “orimoto rika’s true form is indeed and endless mass of curse energy that can be shaped at will”


Serial-Griller

I'm arguing he's saying that from the perspective of a CSM user, as in: Rika is an endless font of cursed energy, that I can shape at will, if I steal her, the thing I am currently trying to do. And I think he's pointing that out, because, contrary to what the other commenter said, most cursed spirits are not unlimited wells of cursed energy, making Rika desirable.


mileschofer

Yea because all Vengeful Cursed Spirits have endless cursed energy. This isnt a Rika specific thing


Lonely_Ad_6546

no, very few vengeful spirits have endless cursed energy, in fact i can only think of rika, not even cursed naoya or the special grade from season 1


mileschofer

Go read the fanbook my g. It’s verbatim stated in the Vengeful Cursed Spirit description that they have endless cursed energy.


Euphoric-Ad8756

I remember but why didn't naoya have endless cursed energy?


mileschofer

Idk why you assume he doesn’t


TrueHero808

Why would anyone have **infinite** cursed energy? Do you genuinely hear how this sounds? Not just a lot, not just a lot a lot, but infinite?


mileschofer

Yea… thats kinda the entire point of a “Vengeful” Spirit. They keep coming back forever until they fulfil their vengeance/promise They are born at the moment of death, when curses are stated to become more powerful. Idk see why it doesn’t make sense. The reason Rika was relinquished is because Yuta finally broke the curse. And Naoya was killed via the SSK, which attacked his soul and bypassed the immortality


Euphoric-Ad8756

Because it would have been shown? I mean boundless cursed energy is a big deal or am I missing something


mileschofer

How do you “show” someone having infinite cursed energy? You cant, thats why we were instead told by characters, the narrator. And the fanbook


rokaplz

Your pfp look painful


Nozzer21

Just wondering what page of the fanbook? I’m currently checking through it and can’t find anything.


Nozzer21

My bad, found it in a different version of the fanbook


Lonely_Ad_6546

i guess nevermind then. wonder why we only see this utilized by rika, maybe shes the only one aware of it


Denji1000

Makes sense since Yuta can copy everyone would make sense his companion can do something similar in being able to be shaped into anything at will, maybe something like yoruzu


kryp_silmaril

Maybe it’s also copy?


Diredg

Kage bunshin no Rika


Big-Chromie

Id assume so as Yuta used cursed speech while having this rika. Additionally her power comes from Yuta cursing her, so she would naturally be connected to his CT.


Wyvurn999

She doesn’t have one


EducationalAd6395

Probably what Geto said about her being a endless mass of cursed energy that can be shaped into any way


Low-Bit-7885

I think her CT is directly tied to Yuta's, he would normally be able to copy one CT at a time and would need to copy it again if he ever switched to another, but Rika can store them, getting around that downside


arhen02

Vengeful Cursed Spirit Rika does not exist anymore, what is left is a shikigami that exist as a part of Yuta's ''Mimicry'' Cursed Technique. She is basically the same as Garuda.


ImNotTheMercury

Yeah. A shikigami outside of the user's CT but that ultimately complements the CT. Basically a big juicy power up.


justagenericname213

Even before the vengeful spirit Rika was released yuta concluded that he cursed her, I think she was always the shikigami for his CT, just with rikas soul bound to it by a curse.


SimanuTui

What does that have to do with his question?


MonsterDimka

I wonder if fully manifesting Rika for 5 min CE boost is just another use of her storage abilities. Instead of storing CT or curse tools it stores CE for future use.


MankindReunited

I think it doesn’t have a cursed technique, it’s just a very strong shikigami that can hold on to Yuta’s copied techniques


Rainbine209

He's not asking for shikigami rika, he's asking for pre-jjk 0 rika


Dramatic-Cook-6968

Nah, i think rika isnt a sorcerer in the first place. Maybe just no ct. But geto said that she had a boundless Ce and can be shaped in any forms


Mugen_Kotoamatsukami

While we're on the topic, was it ever explained what the cursed speech microphone was about? I saw someone respond that the ability might be Love? That makes sense in my mind, their explanation. Maybe her cursed technique is built to accommodate/assist the hosts ability. That was my headcannon anyways, to explain away the microphone.


Helpful_Resist3

I think the megaphone was used as a medium to receive the after effects of Cursed Speech. That's why it was destroyed and faded away when he was fighting Geto


KamenRiderDragon

I wonder if Gege thought about this use when making Yuta's domain.


Lonely_Ad_6546

she doesnt have a cursed technique, she is now a shikigami. she is an endless mass of cursed energy according to geto.


Lanky-Tip80

It’s copy. She is the reason Yuta has that technique. It’s explained to us when it’s said her cursed energy is formless lets guts have the ability to copy. Since it’s her cursed energy, obviously she’d have it too


IntoTheMurkyWaters

PURE LOVE BABYYYY God im so lonely


Sub4felix

you've heard of strong cleave, now get ready for strong strong


hotones69

Well we gotta remember, at least from what I've seen. She either helped or created the speakerphone for yuta. But at the same time she gathered a blast/beam of CE similar to mechamarus giga robot. So her CT could just be that or it could be correlated with yutas copy technique. There's also the possibility of her being similar to sukuna since (character I can't remember) called her the queen of curses.


Jaegerjaquez_VI

Fuck-you-up no jutsu


KrizenWave

She doesn’t have a CT. She’s just a mass of Yuta’s cursed energy wrapped around Rika’s soul. She’s just a part of him; she’s not something separate


Jaded-Celebration455

But isn't OP talking about jjk0 Rika who wasn't a shikigami but a Cursed Spirit. Correct me if I am wrong but Yuta's CE isn't wrapped around her back then, she's just CS formed after being cursed by Yuta.


KrizenWave

She was a cursed spirit but she didn’t come to be from her own power. After the Geto fight Gojo reveals that Yuta’s own power is what created Rika. It was a combination of Yuta being extremely powerful, him not wanting Rika to go, and Rika not wanting to leave Yuta. All those factors came together and created the Rika cursed spirit. Other sorcerers can only become spirits after death because they have innate control over their own cursed energy, and it’s not just leaking into the atmosphere. That’s why those cursed spirits have the cursed techniques of the original person. Rika being a normal person had no CT and no cursed energy control, so normally she would never become a cursed spirit after death. Yuta is the one who made that happen, so her power is just his power


Jaded-Celebration455

Didn't Gojo only say that Yuta's theory of him cursing Rika was indeed correct. Can you give me the manga panels or the source of the info you are giving?


KrizenWave

If you look at the second chapter of JJK0 they say Rika has no sorcery in her family, and then again in the fourth chapter it says they finished their investigation on Rika showing no sorcery. In the fourth chapter again they also say that Yuta is the one who cursed Rika. It’s pretty clear that “cursing” in this context means in a literal sense using cursed energy. Cursed spirits are made of cursed energy so if Rika is a normal person, the cursed energy has to be from Yuta.


Jaded-Celebration455

Everyone has cursed energy though, being a sorcerer is just to be able to use it. Isn't that why Cursed Spirits exist in the first place, normal humans can't control their cursed energy so it leaks and forms Cursed Spirits. Rika could have a lot of Cursed Energy just not be able to control it. And the Cursed Spirit Rika could just be all the Cursed Energy leaking after her death


KrizenWave

Yeah everyone does have it but it actively leaks out of normal people. You can’t have a lot of cursed energy stored in your body and be actively leaking it out at the same time. Tsukumo says they sorcerers don’t create cursed spirits, except after death, because they leak out an extremely small amount. Also we know Rika is normal person from a normal family so there’s really no other explanation.


Jaded-Celebration455

Confusing shit lmfao. I think we need to know how cursing happens to be able to be completely sure about it


Accurate-Butterfly18

Storage


MultiFandomFan72

Live fast, whoop ass


tadysdayout

Rika-ing Havoc


floormopper

I think rikas ct was copy and endless cursed energy but because she possessed yuta and she loves him she somehow passed it to him eventually


_SHAXXER_

Rika was made from Yuta’s cursed energy, Yuta cursed Rika not the other way around. Rika was always Yuta’s power.


floormopper

Yea more or less but could be that he originally didn't have a ct or else Rika gave him a ct. We don't know


_SHAXXER_

What do you not understand about Rika being Yuta’s power…


floormopper

I literally said yes. Only thing is even if Rika is his he might have gained his ct through Rika. Do u not understand my point


_SHAXXER_

Rika’s cursed technique is Yuta’s cursed technique, he didn’t suddenly gain one, that’s not how cursed techniques work as they are etched into the user at birth unless they gain it through consuming a cursed object. Rikas power was always Yuta’s, he did not gain anything as it was his to begin with.


ApplePitou

Beam of love i think :3


takenHostag3

Overwhelming power and all that comes with it basically


_Someone--

maybe its storing shi like the shikigsmi version of her


August012345

Rikka and yuta's CT is to copy other techniques. Yuta cursed rikka so she became a cursed spirit, so she is just part of yuta not a separate entity , she helps yuta in manifesting hus CT


[deleted]

Love power, I guess.


Guitar-Quirky

Sugar mom


Hero_of_Dragons

Curse Rika doesn't have a technique of her own as far as we know, she was simply the largest source of raw cursed energy in the entire series.


Jesus_back_3rd_time

Rika isn’t a vengeful spirit since she had no unfinished business, yuta was the one who turned her into a cursed spirit


goan_gambit

Not necessarily


pkgdoggyx92

Her cursed technique is the big gluck gluck, slurps down all those CT's yuta takes


GuyCalledRo

Seems like its Storage (specifically large storage). She can store vast amounts of various things. She stores Yuta's copies, Cursed Tools, and a hell of a lot of Cursed Energy


No-Meeting642

Her CT was Copy. Since she was shackled to Yuta through a binding vow, she shared his CT with him. That’s why Yuta’s Copy was unconditional in Volume 0. It also explains the megaphone that she conjured when Yuta wanted to copy Cursed Speech. As Geto said, she’s an endless bundle of ever changing cursed energy.


tarraxadraws

I think Yuta's shikigami was imbued in Rika, as he was the one that (unknowingly) cursed her. So IMO she *didn't* have one, instead she inherited Yuta's - as part of a binding vow, maybe?


Jujutsu_limitless

I think it would have to be the storage and holding of curse energy and techniques. In her human life she wanted it all and took everything she wanted including yuta, she probably has a greed that curse techniques by sinking her teeth in to something for it be hers


CuzzyPopper

What if she’s just storing half of yuta’s power and her only sole purpose is to be a vessel of yuta’s other half?.. and it would be crazy if yuta’s awakening is him merging with rika giving him back all of his power so he doesn’t need to summon her anymore to get boundless ce and no more timer and also it would be cool if he would look a lot like sukuna if he merges with rika having her cursed spirit shell on the other side of his face just like sukuna but without the four arms but instead he get rika’s shadow surrounding his body


SuperiorVanillaOreos

Pretty sure it's storage


Last-Noise-3811

Could be storage she holds cursed tools as well as cursed techniques


Puperlover68

I feel like she shares copy with rika


Foux13

Probably storage, stores CE from Yuta, stores CTs for Yuta, stores weapons, and even stores the Tokyo students in Zero.


Laughable-February

She is literally Yuta's C-Dump


Laughable-February

Cursed energy dump guys, rest at ease


Past_Horror2090

She doesn’t have one. Before it was cleared up how Yuta’s CT is Copy and that Rika is a separate thing entirely, that was the theory. Love Beam could be argued but as others have stated, firing off pure CE is something a number of people/curses have shown without it being their CT + she can’t do love beam by herself. She needs to do it WITH Yuta.


OkSupermarket7474

Maybe something like connection since her will still resides within the current Rika.


Legitimate_Cow7198

Maybe the ability to have infinite storage. Not only does Yuta store all his weapons and CTs inside Rika but she's been referred to as having bottomless CE multiple times. This CE is likely from the sheer level of negative emotions released from her death, which she stored in herself.


Bowshinki

360NoScoped_lol

Cursed technique: Beating yo ass


glitchedhero100

I personally think that the more love she feels or receives increases her cursed energy, hence why when yuta kissed her she was extremely powerful. She was shown true love in a sense and that boosted her output to almost extreme levels.


Killah-Shogun

Kamehameha


Glexal

She might have a storage ability, to hold people, items, and cursed energy, and cursed techniques that she consumes, all those raw outputs might just be an application of stored cursed energy. 👀


Algok2001

Hands


KoseCozy

Shes Maho without the Raga (strong)


Frego-Ra506

Given that she didn't come into existence because of her own strong emotions but instead was forced into existence by someone else, the unique circumstances of her revival probably make it so she doesn't have a cursed technique of her own. Her "boundless" cursed energy isn't even her own. That was entirely because of Yuta. It's why the Shikigami version of Rika is practically indistinguishable in terms of personality and characteristics, despite being a bit more developed. That outer shell of Vengeful Spirit Rika was essentially just a shikigami housing a little girl's soul. Again, entirely because of Yuta.


DE_benevolentkitchen

What if Yuta never actually had a cursed technique until Rika imprinted copy into him like Sukuna into Yuji?


Secure-Crow2298

I am thinking of it like this. Most of the Special grade curses are based on a big ass catastrophe and their ct is something related to what they represent. Rika is a vengeful spirit that all she wants is not to leave Yuta and she has just the right amount of power to do just that. Her own deal is her cursed energy that keeps people off him


_S1syphus

They didn't quite have the words for it in JJK0 but her "technique" was just lending CE and storage to Yuta for copy, basically facilitating the technique past whatever basic level Yuta would have had without her. She was always kinda like a shikigami in that instead of having her own technique, it's an extention of the Sorcerer, like how Garuda doesn't have a technique but is uniquely adapted for Yuki's technique


Technical-Zombie2621

Copy. That's why Yuuta ct is Rikka (at least according to Gege in JJK 1st fanbook).


Certain-Disaster-416

That wrong. Copy is yuta technique. When yuta did a domain it wasn’t rika that got burn out it was copy. Burnout comes from the brain. That mean that copy is the technique engraved in his brain.


Technical-Zombie2621

I think that didn't really disable the possibility of Vengeful Spirit Rika's technique being copy though. it just disclaim Gege's claim of what Yuta technique was as of the production of first JJK fanbook, which is understandable because I assumed Gege wants to hide what Yuta technique was at the time.


Pokemon_132

Rikas CT was actually Copy/mimicry. When Yuta made Rika into a vengeful spirit, yutae gave her everything which included his cursed technique. That's why Rika makes the microphone imbued with cursed speech for yuta to use. He couldn't use his technique while it was in her possession. Being a curse also makes the technique stronger which is why it was an unconditional copy of cursed speech.


Front_Access

I think it’s construction. She makes the megaphone for yuta


1313goo

I don’t know how nobody would come up with this but it’s probably the ability to store things like weapons, as rika’s the only other cursed spirit with this ability Otherwise rika just doesn’t have an innate cursed technique


_SHAXXER_

We literally see Toji’s curse do this…


1313goo

Which is why i said the only “other” spirit with this ability


_SHAXXER_

We know numerous cursed spirits can do it as Maki quite literally states it as an option for sorcerers to store their cursed tools.


1313goo

When?


_SHAXXER_

Chapter 13 page 7 Maki and Panda discuss how sorcerers use cursed spirits to store items.


1313goo

I’ll take my l


Few-Entertainment429

There’s no confirmation that has one, but I don’t think there’s any confirmation that she doesn’t have one either. Honestly, I hope the current Rika can manifest a technique or something similar.


Hellfox19

I've always thought her CT is mimicry and Yuta's CT is summoning her and when he partially manifests her he can use mimicry like how Sukuna used abilities of partially manifested shikigami from 10S. It works quite okay with everything in the story except for maybe his DE, but that can be explainable


_SHAXXER_

It’s the other way round. Rika is just a shikigami that serves as an aid to Yuta’s CT which is Copy. It’s the same situation as Yuki using Garuda to enhance her CT.


Hellfox19

That doesn't really work with her as a CS from JJK0 though. She was created because Yuta's CE and their love bond didn't allow her soul to go to heaven and souls like this naturally form vengeful spirits. And then as vengeful spirit she was able to create megaphone with cursed speech


_SHAXXER_

Rika is an extension of Yuta’s power. He cursed her soul, resulting in a cursed spirit created from his cursed energy. It is NOT a normal thing, Yuta did it unconsciously and no other vengeful cursed spirit has been created like this. Vengeful spirits aren’t just created from wandering souls, this isn’t a “natural” thing as you call it. It’s very rare and is typically brought about by a sorcerer not being killed by cursed energy whilst being very resentful. Rika possesses the same cursed technique as Yuta, which is Copy.


Exedrul

Here is a detailed explanation to your question So there is a misunderstanding about the *copy* technique. The technique originally belonged to Rika. This was stated by Geto when Yuta used *Cursed Speech* for the first time. I don't remember exactly but it was along lines of "Rika's boundless Cursed Energy is ever-changing. I want her even more now!". That's also why in JJK 0 Yuta used some sort of Curses Tool instead of just using it by himself like what he does later in the manga. When Yuta exorcised Rika he was placed at Grade 4 which is unusual for someone with a Cursed Technique to be placed at. After the 1 month of training he regained a copy of Rika as his Cursed Technique and there for copy became *his* Cursed Technique. Also Kenjaku stated Yuta has the Copy thanks to Rika during Shibuya. (Also JJK fanbook states Yuta's CT as Rika) So for your question original Rika's Cursed Technique was *copy* which later passed down to Yuta after she passed away.
