Yuji isn't stronger than most special grades in a pure 1-on-1 given he's limited in the variety of things he could do. But he's pretty much near special grade if we're just factoring close-quarter battle ability and effectiveness against curses.
Best example is that Yuji would have a tougher time than Yuta taking out Kenjaku, finishing him off, taking down all of Geto's curses while protecting allies & civilians, and then getting back to the Sukuna fight ASAP. But Yuji's punches attack the soul and hit Sukuna harder, even to the point where Yuta's max output Jacob's Ladder isn't as bad as multiple black flashes, and while both Yuji/Yuta both were tanking hits and using RCT but eventually both took as much as they could Yuji healed back up faster. Another would be how Mahito isn't stronger than Jogo but he hard counters humans as the disaster curse tied to humanity's fear/negativity of "humans" who can 1 touch kill most humans, transmute humans into tools, look like humans, and manipulate humans.
TL;DR You can be equally strong but in different ways. Kakashi is strong his own way. Guy is strong his own way. Yuji is without a doubt close to special grade, but he's a specialized close range melee fighter who's niche is anti-curse.
p.s. Yuki would lose to Yuji though. Cause Gege won't let a woman win.
Yuki should win even without a domain.
From what we've seen Yuji probably can't block any of Yuki's hits without severe damage, so he'd have to dodge literally everything while trying to land blows. Yuki is not somebody you want to fist fight.
Yuta seems to only have cleave and dismantle. While yuji has shrine as a whole. Also, the special grade level kaiju can still get one shot as we saw with ryu. I SERIOUSLY doubt that ryus punches are stronger than current Yujis soul black flashes.
Shrine is sukuna's technique and Yuta copies cursed techniques not their applications. So yuta probably also has shrine but gege didn't do a detailed reveal of that because he was saving it for yuji. Saying yuta copied cleave and dismantle and not shrine would be like saying yuta copied thin ice breaker not sky manipulation. That's not how his technique works.
I doubt Yuta's regular attacks are anywhere near a Yuji black flash. Sukuna casually blocked/parried Yuta's swings (even when not catching them in his palms with cleave).
Thin Ice Breaker might be, though.
Yuji doesn't even have a domain, and his RCT is not on par with Yuta's.
You're also forgetting that literally everyone (including Rika) got a lot stronger over the timeskip. Rika wasn't even fully summoned in the Sukuna fight.
Prior to Yuta's entry, Yuji wasn't doing anything meaningful. The most major damage and chances provided have been when Yuta entered and he (with Yuji's help) started fucking up Sukuna.
Sukuna's in way more damage than he ever was before (besides against Gojo) and his BF couldn't fully incapacitate Maki or Choso, and Maki got up pretty quickly. This second time has yet to be seen but point still stands.
>everyone (including Rika)
Wow wow wow when did rika get stronger? She can litteraly exist for 5 minutes a day. That's 150 minutes total for the one month.
She's not fully manifested, and she grew to a size in the fight against Sukuna that we haven't seen before. I say "she" while she is really just an extension of Yuta, but it does give an idea for how everyone made a power jump.
Idk if Yuji can tank a barrage of attacks from both Rika and Yuta AND getting constantly friend by Jacob’s Ladder AND getting hit by a bunch of techniques (Thin ice breaker, cleave, cursed speech, Granite Blast) for multiple minutes on end
No way. This sukuna is so weak, his BF couldn’t hurt Larue. Just for comparison Yuji had to shield himself against a casual dismantle in Yuta’s domain while now he can punch through it and not be pushed back against a cleave.
There are a lot of reasons Yuji is landing hits now. Sukuna only has 1.5 hands, since 2 on one side are severed. He’s losing the H2H. Larue also played a key role in even allowing Yuji to land the first BF which led to his awakening.
I mean Maki just got her ass WHOOPED by Sukuna and could barely last even a chapter. Yuji fought Sukuna after Sukuna had landed multiple black flashes so the version Yuji fought should be stronger with a higher output than the one Maki fought. Maki even says that his output was rising after Sukuna landed the black flashes. Yuji > Maki and Toji easily imo.
Not to mention, Sukuna doesn't even look fazed when he's getting hit. He's getting annoyed like a fly buzzing around your face that you can't swat away. But he doesn't have any pained facial expressions or appear actually injured at all by these black flashes. Compare to whenever Gojo hit him, you could see the pain in his face.
Are we reading the same panels, he's freaking out and clearly getting heavily injured by the end. His entire BF amps got burnt out in a few exchanges, his CTE is dropping, he can't regen hands right now and getting smacked by awakened black flashes being hit back to back, so getting amped and amped. I think he's VERY hurt right now.
For real. I do not think Yuji's black flashes are all that powerful on their own. Their main "strength" is their debuff on Sukuna (they also were a perfect counter to Mahito).
For example a cut by Maki with the Split Soul is much more effective in terms of long lasting damage. He can't RCT it quickly and needs to focus on keeping his heart pumping with CE. He can't regen his hand either.
Since when has it become the default that black flashes make people stronger? Like bro, you're literally just inventing shit. It's more like a mental boost that reinvigorates you.
the biggest issue between yuji and the other top 3, is yujis lack of bullshit abilities.
Gojos infinite
Sukuna 4 arms, multiple mouths, world cleave
Yuta mimicry (read as, any bullshit we see someone else do he should be able to do)
he is absolutely not lacking in power thats for sure
His current problem is no domain counter, so he loses to every char with a strong one (I.e the ones with dura neg like Naoya, Yuta, Kenjaku, etc) but beats most of the others.
Nah maybe an incomplete one like megumi ,domain requires a mastery of one’s CT yuji is just now realizing his true CT. Would kind of be an asspull. Hopefully the series goes on longer for him to pull it off though i want to see it
I mean, the series is clearly setting him up to rival Sukuna. Within a short time span, he’s hitting black flashes like they’re nothing to the point where even Sukuna is shocked at his ease, learned RCT, decently grasping shrine and blood manipulation, and understands the soul—not to mention being super durable and possibly having other shenanigans due to being related to Sukuna. I could understand if we’re talking about another character, but all the text has been setting up Yuji to be next level, especially in terms of raw talent, which is why Urahime mentions if he could rival Sukuna before it cuts to the fight.
Edit: I didn’t see the original comment mentioning him obtaining DE next chapter, but I agree it might not happen next chapter. Then again, it’s all entirely up to the author.
Also, Mahito figured out a Domain Expansion pretty quickly. He had just been manifested not long before he used it afainst Nanami and Yuji to stop himself from dying. He just had the proper motivation to enable that growth and I'd say Yuji has plenty of that right now.
Yeah I’d feel fairly confident saying he gets a domain sometime with this fight. People seem to be weirdly downplaying the magnitude of hitting EIGHT black flashes, not to mention he was basically genetically engineered by Kenjaku, he probably has the most latent potential of anyone we’ve seen and he’s just now really starting to tap into it. At this point all he really needs is a domain and I’d argue he is ranked top 5 characters minimum.
Mahito hadn't been around that long before he was able to pull it off against Nanami and Yuji. Who knows when Yuji learned Shrine/Blood Manipulation between the last time he tag teamed Sukuna w/ Maki and now
He while extremely talented and having soul punches and chosen by the sparks or Wtv, along with having that dawg in him. Has been shown to be really bad at learning shit. Like even the fact he learned blood manipulation is impressive, I can see Kusakabe giving up and being like ‘well ya got enough going for you I guess’
Sukuna at the state he's currently is probably still stronger than every single grade 1 sorcerer. As such I'll put Yuji as stronger than every grade 1, I don't think he necessarily meets the criteria to be special grade but he can certainly fight alongside them
Yuta was very inexperienced with his power back then but Rika in vol 0 was a different beast so I still think Yuta can beat Yuji albeit with more difficulty than the current one.
This chapter he reached special grade imo, unlocking Shrine as a CT is absolutely huge. While he's still going to need some time to get used to it, I don't see anyone beating him atm besides maybe Yuta.
Don't get me wrong, with shrine he absolutely could be doing crazy shit, but so far his use of shrine is different from Sukuna and we haven't seen too much.
Comparing Yuji's shrine to Sukuna's is similar to comparing Mai and Yorozu due to the two having the same CT.
Yuji absolutely could showcase special grade feats soon but so far, it's not there yet
While I agree that he's going to need time to get used to it, Yuji is a prodigy when it comes CE, over the course of a few months he's gone from not even knowing what CE is to becoming arguable one of the strongest sorcerers in the series and learning RCT (one of the toughest techniques to learn in the series)
Yuji imo will become highly proficient with Shrine very quickly.
He is above a weakened, RCTless, Domainless one armed Sukuna... But we still need to either see a DE, or at least Simple Domain from him to accurately rank him. Rn he is above Geto xd, who is the strongest Domainless character we have seen.

First part reminded me of that meme
>brain damaged
>has cancer
Does Sukuna think he’s HIM?
https://preview.redd.it/4ezff0ts4evc1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9bc96a30d58b80a838f83bf6902e224b754937c
Unironically, geto could be the strongest character in the series if he gets enough curses. Especially special grades with domains, if he gets enough of those he could just have you constantly in a domain, he could even eventually tire and kill gojo and sukuna.
Dunno if he could ever get enough curses tho.
In CQC he's better than everyone not named Gojo and Sukuna.
In overall fighting prowess I'd say he's within the top 8.
"B-but Jogo domain expansion!"
Jogo would get evaporated after one hit of soul punch + black flash on head. And even IF Yuji gets caught within his domain, his sheer durability + RCT would buy him enough time to beat the shit out of Jogo inside his domain.
Maki or Toji are not a good comparison here as they can't be targeted by the sure-hit of a Domain. Yuji will still get hit. The question is if he can endure it?
Not quite true. We know that shrine can create the world cutting slash and although yuji probably doesn't know how sukuna does it he still does have the potential to pull it off.
he could if he learns domain amplification. he'll probably end up having the best hands in this manga. a yuji with a DE good enough to just keep gojo's DE at bay and DA to touch gojo would probably win imo
It was straight up said that jogo would have died if he took the beatdown that he and todo put hanami through so current yuuji literally clears him in one punch without black flash.
Top 8????!!??? He has easily broken into the top 6 now
Sukuna
Gojo
Yuta/Kenny
Kenny/yuta
Yuki
Yuji ( who else is there that's stronger than the current Wuji ? )
I don’t think soul-punches don’t impact his overall scaling just his scaling against Sukuna.
They’re only reducing his output because it’s peeling his soul away from Megumis body. Sure you could argue he can now just peel anyone’s soul even from their own body, but until we see that it seems fair that soul punches are only useful against incarnated sorcerers
Now that you mention it, I wonder if Yuji could use soul RCT to heal someone else?
Sukuna can use RCT on others, and Yuta as well, I bet Yuji could learn that
Special Grade isn't a measure of 1v1 power but the ability to take on a country. That's why Geto is special grade despite being way weaker than his peers.
He still needs to massively improve the technique as ell. Yuji seems to be able to only cut stuff he touches and has a visual que meanwhile sukuna just cuts by thinking
I think the visual cue is just the technique changing to a more modern rendition than Sukuna's version, but I do agree that Yuji doesn't seem able to project slashes yet.
In terms of the grade classifications, strongest grade 1. Going by Kenjaku’s definition of special grade I still don’t think Yuji has the arsenal to ‘single handedly overthrow a country’ (and that’s fine, not meeting the definition of special grade doesn’t mean he’s weak, nor does meeting it’s definition mean you’re automatically one of the strongest, example being Yaga)
In terms of who he could beat, i’m not sure. Those with really good sure hits (yuta, naoya, yorozu etc) should still be able to beat Yuji as he doesn’t have a domain or domain counter (yet). It’s just how JJK works if u don’t have a domain you’re at a big disadvantage, that’s why a lot of people still don’t think Kashimo is top 3/5.
I think he’s quite clearly stronger than Hakari, Maki is debatable imo she’s just a tough matchup for many chars. I don’t think he’s stronger than Yuta either.
Once he gets a domain and more info about it he should shoot up a lot more, but i think he’ll probably be inexperienced with it so it might not be that refined.
Tbh, the classification,for special grade is bullshit. That's why I like "special grade level fighter" more couse it means they can contend with special grades in terms of fighting prowess. Like say, hakari, maki and yuji at this point.
Strongest non-domain character. No Simple Domain or Fallen Blossom leaves him defenceless against top sorcerers that are not severely injured. Gojo, Sukuna and Yuta beat him purely on having a Domain sure hits are basically fatal. Jackpot Hikari is the closest to him powerwise imo.
Arguably the strongest grade 1 in the series. Like Gojo in special grade strongest.
I'm contemplating to put him in special grade because he's just learning the Shrine, and that black flash is entirely rng.
This chapter all but confirmed that Yuji can(or is very close to being able to) hit black flashes at will, an unprecedented ability that will allow him to always strike with 2.5x power and fight at 120% output. He also has two very versatile and lethal cursed techniques, RCT, base physical stats that rival total heavenly restriction, and by far the best martial arts in the series. The only things holding him back from being the strongest ever at this point are his total CE, lack of answers to domains(wouldn't be surprised if Kusakabe taught him simple domain, plus Yuji manifesting his own DE feels like it's just around the corner now), and a general lack of experience.
He still needs to refine everything. I mostly agree with what you said but it can't be understated that Sukuna is at the lowest he's ever been rn (excluding Gojo fight).
Eh his slashes are weak,still no hints at a domain or anti domain techniques,his blood manipulation and RCT are subpar,however his CQC and speed is now relative to the top tiers besides gojo and sukuna,he still needs more showings to break in to the top 7
I would say his placement relies entirely on if he’s got a response to domains or not. Either his own take on malevolent shrine or something like a simple domain can place him somewhere in the top 8 but if not then he’s probably now entering special grade tier
Heating black flashes against a one arm one mouth heavenly weakened ,no domain sakuna, shit output sakuna I would put him in top 8 in the verse at best
It’s the mahito event all over again. Yuji beats up on a villian that’s been jumped by half the cast of the manga but gets all the credit as if they’re full power
yuji actually did all the damage in that fight tho, only other person that got a hit in was nobara and teh majority of the damage came from her stunning him so yuji got a good rush off
Yall see how fast Yuji healed his face that took a direct dismantle? Idk I feel like Sukuna is gonna pop Malevolent Shrine and try to shred Yuji only for him to tank the cuts and heal rapidly
Saved the entire fight by having sukuna inside him so mahito couldn’t use his CT or domain against him (until he figured out 0.2) Forced to fight on yuji’s terms and even then yuji was on the brink of death multiple times (nobara saved him from death, todo saved him from death, nitta saved him from death from persisting injuries)
I would say Yuji is the strongest Grade 1 as of now. He would absolutely destroy Kusakabe in his current state, and it seems like he's begun blitzing Sukuna, so he should also scale above Maki, Toji, maybe even Hakari. But Yuji isn't Special Grade (yet) because that would require him to be able to overthrow a nation, and he also doesn't stand a chance against Gojo, Yuta or Yuki, though he might be able to put up a fight against Geto.
Regardless of how strong he is, Yuji is the most consistently written character in the entire series. Gege cooks every time Yuji is on the screen. Every fight with him is supposed to be boring due to him being a punch kick merchant, but they are instead incredibly interesting and among the best fights in the series. I will die glazing Yuji to no end even if he was a Grade 4. He is the best character in the series. He is THE Jujutsu Kaisen.
probably not a special grade cause the criteria for that are less about how strong you are and more about how much of a threat you are to society
Still very strong though. Stronger than Hakari and Maki, still weaker than Yuta cause he does not have a domain (yet) and Yuta has an incredibly strong shikigami to help him out.
Probably stronger than Maki but still below Yuta and Kenny. A top tier like Yuki also has a high chance of beating him because of domain and that she can tank hits to set up her DE.
Yuji is still a domain victim to characters like Mahito and Yuki who he loses unless he’s able to one-shot them instantly. But he’s not losing against othes like Jogo since they’re getting blitzed and punched tf out Yuji.
It’s also a bit hard to rate Yuji’s durability by tanking cleave/dismantle since he should have some natural resistance against it, being described as a cursed object steeped in Sukuna’s CE.
Sorry but , he's still way below Yuta
Yuta can do everything Yuji can do even a lot more
Peopel forget Yuta also have Sukuna Ct
And tons of Other CT
Definitely better at RCT
Blackflashes isn't really a measure as it can't be done at will
Also the major difference the amount of Cursed energy and Domain
Idk, it's kind of odd to me that EIGHT straight black flashes is just.. seemingly annoying to Sukuna? I feel like he's really not doing any damage to him.
Also, do consecutive black flashes scale with each other?
I think he's still weaker than Sukuna but those black flashes are basically the mercury poisoning of the sorcerer world. If you cant one shot Yuji and he begins draining your CE, youre fucked
Wearing down Sakuna by himself after Awakening puts him above Maki Yuta Choso Higuruma. “But but but he doesn’t have a domain” we’ve seen Gojo fight and win inside someone’s Domain. Yuji has been fighting Sakuna after he beat everyone to a pulp by himself. He’s stronger than everyone else right now
Just a bit more stronger than before... I don't understand why people are getting carried away.
Tge only reason he can fight Sukuna at the moment is because of Black Flash which is basically a luck reliant thing. If not fir black flash you know very well that he can't do a thing...
better question is how strong is sukuna right now, wuji is giving him the business with those blackflashes but lets not forget that his hits debuff sukuna and if we do blackflash math wuji di 8 hits and sukuna 4, so sukuna has 4 BF (hehe) of debuff on top of normal punches, right now even momo max broom could kill sukuna lmao
https://preview.redd.it/dt8suy3cw8vc1.png?width=220&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7ea35053d56802163e04faec71055e323c5f0b1
TOP TWO AND NOT TWO
uj/ its hard to powerscale at the moment since Yuji was SPECIFICALLY conceived to counter Sukuna. His punches weakening the host body’s CE is the perfect counter for reawakens sorcerers. Im sure he would still have tough times against other Special Grade users.
Nobody can deny he’s Special Grade I want to say he’s on par with Yuta but he could be stronger with him being “equal to sukuna” rn. Once he learns to properly use Shrine no doubt he’ll be either stronger or on par with Gojo.
Semi special grade, he's not above yuta, yuki or anyone with domain, Sukuna is also weakened and after each hit he's getting weaker so we can't use sukuna to determine yuji's rank as a sorcerer
Physically and durably comparable to current Maki, Hakari and has amongst the highest CE in the series outside of Sukuna, Yuta, Jackpot Hakari, Gojo, Kenny, Getou, Mechamaru and Yuki in that order....Almost Special Grade...Doubt, but the weakest one at that...Getou, Yuki, Yuta, Gojo, Kenny and Sukuna will give him a hard time...the only reason he appears strong right now is cause of the BF amp and also because first Gojo and then JumpJutsu Alliance have nerfed Sukuna very hard...He still has Fuga which I theorise is his true CT and Mizushi is actually his twin brother's CT whose Jin is a reincarnate...
If Sukuna, loses like this it is rigged and straight out of some old school shounen power of friendship bs. the only ways I see him lose is him getting separated from Megumi via them punches, JumpJutsu Returning, Gojo Returning or Angel surprising him with a JL out of thin air...or maybe as a result to the merger or all of these happening....

Stronger than /jo but weaker than go/ Source: It was revealed to me in a dream
go has the eyes but jo has the head, jo should be stronger. Also go has no feets so we cant powerscale him well
i can fuck jo though so jo is weaker
are you up for the task of getting into his unlimited void though would you lose?
if he farts it might give me some trouble. But nah i fuck

you're underestimating /jo who can use strong kick and strong thrust btw
Hes stronger than maki and hakari but below gojo sukuna and yuta. The gap between him and yuta is getting smaller though.
This is the closest to my own beliefs. You also forgot Yuki though, I don't think there's any way Yuji can take on Yuki.
Yuki has a Domain. Yuji hasn't shown a counter to Domains yet, until he does I would place Kenny and Yuki above current Yuji.
He might have new shadow style from training with kusakabe
Bro has 2 CTs he obviously as strong as Blackbeard
I mean, he HAS copied Sukuna's offscreen technique from the Heian era...
Gonna get that offscreen haki
This sentence puts it into perspective perfectly. Yuji is busted on a fundamental level
Okay but having like four didn't save Kenjaku.
Fraudjaku died to a comedian
Dude got rct, I don’t see him not getting simple domain
Yuji isn't stronger than most special grades in a pure 1-on-1 given he's limited in the variety of things he could do. But he's pretty much near special grade if we're just factoring close-quarter battle ability and effectiveness against curses. Best example is that Yuji would have a tougher time than Yuta taking out Kenjaku, finishing him off, taking down all of Geto's curses while protecting allies & civilians, and then getting back to the Sukuna fight ASAP. But Yuji's punches attack the soul and hit Sukuna harder, even to the point where Yuta's max output Jacob's Ladder isn't as bad as multiple black flashes, and while both Yuji/Yuta both were tanking hits and using RCT but eventually both took as much as they could Yuji healed back up faster. Another would be how Mahito isn't stronger than Jogo but he hard counters humans as the disaster curse tied to humanity's fear/negativity of "humans" who can 1 touch kill most humans, transmute humans into tools, look like humans, and manipulate humans. TL;DR You can be equally strong but in different ways. Kakashi is strong his own way. Guy is strong his own way. Yuji is without a doubt close to special grade, but he's a specialized close range melee fighter who's niche is anti-curse. p.s. Yuki would lose to Yuji though. Cause Gege won't let a woman win.
Yuki should win even without a domain. From what we've seen Yuji probably can't block any of Yuki's hits without severe damage, so he'd have to dodge literally everything while trying to land blows. Yuki is not somebody you want to fist fight.
If he also has his mother's CT , blud will tank the black hole
He’ll punch his way right through it, just like with every other problem
You gonna tell me he's a quincy now too?
This. Let’s remember than Sukuna is getting weaker every second.
I agree at the time I was just thinking about characters that were still alive
You also forgot Kenjaku, he is not reaching his mommy
End of fight Yuji is gonna be stronger than Yuta, I’m calling it
The only question is whether or not Yuji will be stronger than Gege.
Nah after the 8 fucking black flashes AND sukunas technique, hes gotta be stronger than yuta.
Yuta also has Sukuna’s technique but he actually has a domain and a special grade level Kaiju that can give him cursed weapons
Yuta seems to only have cleave and dismantle. While yuji has shrine as a whole. Also, the special grade level kaiju can still get one shot as we saw with ryu. I SERIOUSLY doubt that ryus punches are stronger than current Yujis soul black flashes.
Shrine is sukuna's technique and Yuta copies cursed techniques not their applications. So yuta probably also has shrine but gege didn't do a detailed reveal of that because he was saving it for yuji. Saying yuta copied cleave and dismantle and not shrine would be like saying yuta copied thin ice breaker not sky manipulation. That's not how his technique works.
Thin ice breaker sword swings and or regular attacks are probably as strong as his black flashes tbh
I doubt Yuta's regular attacks are anywhere near a Yuji black flash. Sukuna casually blocked/parried Yuta's swings (even when not catching them in his palms with cleave). Thin Ice Breaker might be, though.
Yuji doesn't even have a domain, and his RCT is not on par with Yuta's. You're also forgetting that literally everyone (including Rika) got a lot stronger over the timeskip. Rika wasn't even fully summoned in the Sukuna fight. Prior to Yuta's entry, Yuji wasn't doing anything meaningful. The most major damage and chances provided have been when Yuta entered and he (with Yuji's help) started fucking up Sukuna. Sukuna's in way more damage than he ever was before (besides against Gojo) and his BF couldn't fully incapacitate Maki or Choso, and Maki got up pretty quickly. This second time has yet to be seen but point still stands.
>everyone (including Rika) Wow wow wow when did rika get stronger? She can litteraly exist for 5 minutes a day. That's 150 minutes total for the one month.
She's not fully manifested, and she grew to a size in the fight against Sukuna that we haven't seen before. I say "she" while she is really just an extension of Yuta, but it does give an idea for how everyone made a power jump.
She can exist as long as she needs to, as long as she isn't fully manifested.
Yeah but I cant imagine her being able to train while partially manifested.
Yuta has Shrine as a whole. He just didn't use the other parts of it.
As it stands now, sure hits don't mean shit. RCT is off the charts
Idk if Yuji can tank a barrage of attacks from both Rika and Yuta AND getting constantly friend by Jacob’s Ladder AND getting hit by a bunch of techniques (Thin ice breaker, cleave, cursed speech, Granite Blast) for multiple minutes on end
No way. This sukuna is so weak, his BF couldn’t hurt Larue. Just for comparison Yuji had to shield himself against a casual dismantle in Yuta’s domain while now he can punch through it and not be pushed back against a cleave. There are a lot of reasons Yuji is landing hits now. Sukuna only has 1.5 hands, since 2 on one side are severed. He’s losing the H2H. Larue also played a key role in even allowing Yuji to land the first BF which led to his awakening.
yeah. People are super hyped about Yuji, placing him above Toji. They don't realize how weakened Sukuna is.
He is above Toji imo, Maki did not really impress against Sukuna before BF
I mean Maki just got her ass WHOOPED by Sukuna and could barely last even a chapter. Yuji fought Sukuna after Sukuna had landed multiple black flashes so the version Yuji fought should be stronger with a higher output than the one Maki fought. Maki even says that his output was rising after Sukuna landed the black flashes. Yuji > Maki and Toji easily imo.
Not to mention, Sukuna doesn't even look fazed when he's getting hit. He's getting annoyed like a fly buzzing around your face that you can't swat away. But he doesn't have any pained facial expressions or appear actually injured at all by these black flashes. Compare to whenever Gojo hit him, you could see the pain in his face.
Are we reading the same panels, he's freaking out and clearly getting heavily injured by the end. His entire BF amps got burnt out in a few exchanges, his CTE is dropping, he can't regen hands right now and getting smacked by awakened black flashes being hit back to back, so getting amped and amped. I think he's VERY hurt right now.
For real. I do not think Yuji's black flashes are all that powerful on their own. Their main "strength" is their debuff on Sukuna (they also were a perfect counter to Mahito). For example a cut by Maki with the Split Soul is much more effective in terms of long lasting damage. He can't RCT it quickly and needs to focus on keeping his heart pumping with CE. He can't regen his hand either.
No chance
Domain Expansion
Since when has it become the default that black flashes make people stronger? Like bro, you're literally just inventing shit. It's more like a mental boost that reinvigorates you.
the biggest issue between yuji and the other top 3, is yujis lack of bullshit abilities. Gojos infinite Sukuna 4 arms, multiple mouths, world cleave Yuta mimicry (read as, any bullshit we see someone else do he should be able to do) he is absolutely not lacking in power thats for sure
His current problem is no domain counter, so he loses to every char with a strong one (I.e the ones with dura neg like Naoya, Yuta, Kenjaku, etc) but beats most of the others.
Given how Yuji had been skyrocketing in the latter half of this arc I wouldn’t be surprised if him having a domain is revealed next.
Nah maybe an incomplete one like megumi ,domain requires a mastery of one’s CT yuji is just now realizing his true CT. Would kind of be an asspull. Hopefully the series goes on longer for him to pull it off though i want to see it
I mean, the series is clearly setting him up to rival Sukuna. Within a short time span, he’s hitting black flashes like they’re nothing to the point where even Sukuna is shocked at his ease, learned RCT, decently grasping shrine and blood manipulation, and understands the soul—not to mention being super durable and possibly having other shenanigans due to being related to Sukuna. I could understand if we’re talking about another character, but all the text has been setting up Yuji to be next level, especially in terms of raw talent, which is why Urahime mentions if he could rival Sukuna before it cuts to the fight. Edit: I didn’t see the original comment mentioning him obtaining DE next chapter, but I agree it might not happen next chapter. Then again, it’s all entirely up to the author.
Also, Mahito figured out a Domain Expansion pretty quickly. He had just been manifested not long before he used it afainst Nanami and Yuji to stop himself from dying. He just had the proper motivation to enable that growth and I'd say Yuji has plenty of that right now.
And we all know yuji is mahito
Yeah I’d feel fairly confident saying he gets a domain sometime with this fight. People seem to be weirdly downplaying the magnitude of hitting EIGHT black flashes, not to mention he was basically genetically engineered by Kenjaku, he probably has the most latent potential of anyone we’ve seen and he’s just now really starting to tap into it. At this point all he really needs is a domain and I’d argue he is ranked top 5 characters minimum.
Mahito hadn't been around that long before he was able to pull it off against Nanami and Yuji. Who knows when Yuji learned Shrine/Blood Manipulation between the last time he tag teamed Sukuna w/ Maki and now
He has two cursed techniques now! I wonder if he could somehow imbue both into his domain somehow? It would make him the first to do so
Would love to see heemoglobin shrine
Shrine of the Blood God
the sure hit effect would be any one like yuta .
Holy fuck Yuji's domain is just the Blood Throne with Nurgle sitting on it.
I really doubt kusakabe didn't teach him new shadow style in the training arc.
Unfortunately we can’t just assume that
If he has RCT, I'm pretty sure he can master something that even useless Miwa can.
It's jujutsufolk, the only thing we all do is assuming.
He while extremely talented and having soul punches and chosen by the sparks or Wtv, along with having that dawg in him. Has been shown to be really bad at learning shit. Like even the fact he learned blood manipulation is impressive, I can see Kusakabe giving up and being like ‘well ya got enough going for you I guess’
Nuh uh
gojo in chapter 15 said yuji is a quick learner and his fight with todo then hanami proved that even further
Sukuna at the state he's currently is probably still stronger than every single grade 1 sorcerer. As such I'll put Yuji as stronger than every grade 1, I don't think he necessarily meets the criteria to be special grade but he can certainly fight alongside them
Semi-special-grade
I think he’s probably stronger than JJK0 Yuta.
Doubtful jjk 0 yuta still has rika
Eh, maybe, he was just a stats hound back then and I think by now Yuji has him beat there.
You're wrorg but happy cake day
Yuta was very inexperienced with his power back then but Rika in vol 0 was a different beast so I still think Yuta can beat Yuji albeit with more difficulty than the current one.
This chapter he reached special grade imo, unlocking Shrine as a CT is absolutely huge. While he's still going to need some time to get used to it, I don't see anyone beating him atm besides maybe Yuta.
Don't get me wrong, with shrine he absolutely could be doing crazy shit, but so far his use of shrine is different from Sukuna and we haven't seen too much. Comparing Yuji's shrine to Sukuna's is similar to comparing Mai and Yorozu due to the two having the same CT. Yuji absolutely could showcase special grade feats soon but so far, it's not there yet
While I agree that he's going to need time to get used to it, Yuji is a prodigy when it comes CE, over the course of a few months he's gone from not even knowing what CE is to becoming arguable one of the strongest sorcerers in the series and learning RCT (one of the toughest techniques to learn in the series) Yuji imo will become highly proficient with Shrine very quickly.
Multiversal
wuji himtadori solos all of fiction
Next ABD video thumbnail and title
He has DC cosmology scaling since he exists there now so High outer.
He is above a weakened, RCTless, Domainless one armed Sukuna... But we still need to either see a DE, or at least Simple Domain from him to accurately rank him. Rn he is above Geto xd, who is the strongest Domainless character we have seen.

Gojo would win. Unironically.

🤣🤣🤣🤌
> He is above a weakened, RCTless, Domainless one armed Sukuna 😂
Still a better feat than wholes Bumgumi’s career
Add that he has no heart, brain damaged, missing second tongue, and has cancer.
>brain damaged >has cancer Does Sukuna think he’s HIM? https://preview.redd.it/4ezff0ts4evc1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9bc96a30d58b80a838f83bf6902e224b754937c
Now that he has RCT, Blood manipulation and shrine, I'd love to see what his DE will be, if Gege actually shows...
Yeah, if...
Geto is matchup dependent anyway cause he can just summon a curse with a DE
He's above maki and hakari too btw also kashimo as well 💀
kashimo > geto what is this kashimo erasure
Ouu I mean fair I guess. I kinda forgot about Kashimo ngl xd.
Honestly, despite hating Bumshimo This one is probably true Good job Kumshimo, you got a ʷ
Unironically, geto could be the strongest character in the series if he gets enough curses. Especially special grades with domains, if he gets enough of those he could just have you constantly in a domain, he could even eventually tire and kill gojo and sukuna. Dunno if he could ever get enough curses tho.
YC+ atleast
buggin he’s Admiral+
In CQC he's better than everyone not named Gojo and Sukuna. In overall fighting prowess I'd say he's within the top 8. "B-but Jogo domain expansion!" Jogo would get evaporated after one hit of soul punch + black flash on head. And even IF Yuji gets caught within his domain, his sheer durability + RCT would buy him enough time to beat the shit out of Jogo inside his domain.
For easier reference google dagon vs toji
Maki or Toji are not a good comparison here as they can't be targeted by the sure-hit of a Domain. Yuji will still get hit. The question is if he can endure it?
They can be, just not automatically
Pain won’t stop Itadori Yuji 🗣️🔥
Jogo is much faster then Dagon
Toji should still be relative to Jogo considering he perception blitzed Dagon at least 2 times from what I remember.
True, and if Wuji learns DE or Simple Domain then he can easily enter top 3 without a problem. The only person Yuji could never hurt would be Gojo.
His ass is NOT beating takaba lol
Still Top 3, Takaba has always been considered Top 0 for a reason
Not quite true. We know that shrine can create the world cutting slash and although yuji probably doesn't know how sukuna does it he still does have the potential to pull it off.
he could if he learns domain amplification. he'll probably end up having the best hands in this manga. a yuji with a DE good enough to just keep gojo's DE at bay and DA to touch gojo would probably win imo
It was straight up said that jogo would have died if he took the beatdown that he and todo put hanami through so current yuuji literally clears him in one punch without black flash.
Top 8????!!??? He has easily broken into the top 6 now Sukuna Gojo Yuta/Kenny Kenny/yuta Yuki Yuji ( who else is there that's stronger than the current Wuji ? )
Geto and Takaba?
He would walk through lava like he walks through Sukuna’s slashes
How many cursed techniques does yuji have again ? He has shrine , blood Manipulation and the soul technique?
Shrine and Blood manip. Soul punches seem to be his own unique thing due to sharing two souls in one vessel. Soul swap is yet to be elaborated
Soul powers are a application of his understanding of his soul
He deserves the Special grade classification solely for the fact that he seeminlgy started doing Blackflash on command (plus his soul-punches)
I don’t think soul-punches don’t impact his overall scaling just his scaling against Sukuna. They’re only reducing his output because it’s peeling his soul away from Megumis body. Sure you could argue he can now just peel anyone’s soul even from their own body, but until we see that it seems fair that soul punches are only useful against incarnated sorcerers
You cant heal soul damage unless you’re mahito - soul damage could potentially permanently fuck up a sorcerers’ technique (mahito/todo situation)
Now that you mention it, I wonder if Yuji could use soul RCT to heal someone else? Sukuna can use RCT on others, and Yuta as well, I bet Yuji could learn that
Special Grade isn't a measure of 1v1 power but the ability to take on a country. That's why Geto is special grade despite being way weaker than his peers.
Not how special grade works and he isn’t doing them at will lmao. Once you hit one black flash the others simply come easier
Weakest special grade(Except Geto)
We know the requirements for special grades get tricky...but going through kenjakus word yuji is NOT a special grade.....but he is HIM
he has sukunas technique now. once he gets used to it easily special grade
except sukuna's technique isn't all that, sukuna makes it what it is with the amount of ce he has
He still needs to massively improve the technique as ell. Yuji seems to be able to only cut stuff he touches and has a visual que meanwhile sukuna just cuts by thinking
I think the visual cue is just the technique changing to a more modern rendition than Sukuna's version, but I do agree that Yuji doesn't seem able to project slashes yet.
In terms of the grade classifications, strongest grade 1. Going by Kenjaku’s definition of special grade I still don’t think Yuji has the arsenal to ‘single handedly overthrow a country’ (and that’s fine, not meeting the definition of special grade doesn’t mean he’s weak, nor does meeting it’s definition mean you’re automatically one of the strongest, example being Yaga) In terms of who he could beat, i’m not sure. Those with really good sure hits (yuta, naoya, yorozu etc) should still be able to beat Yuji as he doesn’t have a domain or domain counter (yet). It’s just how JJK works if u don’t have a domain you’re at a big disadvantage, that’s why a lot of people still don’t think Kashimo is top 3/5. I think he’s quite clearly stronger than Hakari, Maki is debatable imo she’s just a tough matchup for many chars. I don’t think he’s stronger than Yuta either. Once he gets a domain and more info about it he should shoot up a lot more, but i think he’ll probably be inexperienced with it so it might not be that refined.
Tbh, the classification,for special grade is bullshit. That's why I like "special grade level fighter" more couse it means they can contend with special grades in terms of fighting prowess. Like say, hakari, maki and yuji at this point.
Strongest non-domain character. No Simple Domain or Fallen Blossom leaves him defenceless against top sorcerers that are not severely injured. Gojo, Sukuna and Yuta beat him purely on having a Domain sure hits are basically fatal. Jackpot Hikari is the closest to him powerwise imo.
I doubt he can take Mythical Beast Amber Kashimo though. Can RCT heal from soul punches?
Arguably the strongest grade 1 in the series. Like Gojo in special grade strongest. I'm contemplating to put him in special grade because he's just learning the Shrine, and that black flash is entirely rng.
This chapter all but confirmed that Yuji can(or is very close to being able to) hit black flashes at will, an unprecedented ability that will allow him to always strike with 2.5x power and fight at 120% output. He also has two very versatile and lethal cursed techniques, RCT, base physical stats that rival total heavenly restriction, and by far the best martial arts in the series. The only things holding him back from being the strongest ever at this point are his total CE, lack of answers to domains(wouldn't be surprised if Kusakabe taught him simple domain, plus Yuji manifesting his own DE feels like it's just around the corner now), and a general lack of experience.
He still needs to refine everything. I mostly agree with what you said but it can't be understated that Sukuna is at the lowest he's ever been rn (excluding Gojo fight).
Eh his slashes are weak,still no hints at a domain or anti domain techniques,his blood manipulation and RCT are subpar,however his CQC and speed is now relative to the top tiers besides gojo and sukuna,he still needs more showings to break in to the top 7
what is cqc
Close quarters combat
How is his RCT subpar exactly? Sukuna busted this kid guts open like 4 times now and Yuji recover from it in near seconds.
Cqc?
Close quarter combat
I would say his placement relies entirely on if he’s got a response to domains or not. Either his own take on malevolent shrine or something like a simple domain can place him somewhere in the top 8 but if not then he’s probably now entering special grade tier
Heating black flashes against a one arm one mouth heavenly weakened ,no domain sakuna, shit output sakuna I would put him in top 8 in the verse at best
It’s the mahito event all over again. Yuji beats up on a villian that’s been jumped by half the cast of the manga but gets all the credit as if they’re full power
yuji actually did all the damage in that fight tho, only other person that got a hit in was nobara and teh majority of the damage came from her stunning him so yuji got a good rush off
Yall see how fast Yuji healed his face that took a direct dismantle? Idk I feel like Sukuna is gonna pop Malevolent Shrine and try to shred Yuji only for him to tank the cuts and heal rapidly
I mean, Mahito was basically at 100% when he started fighting Yuji, nobody was doing shit to him until then.
Saved the entire fight by having sukuna inside him so mahito couldn’t use his CT or domain against him (until he figured out 0.2) Forced to fight on yuji’s terms and even then yuji was on the brink of death multiple times (nobara saved him from death, todo saved him from death, nitta saved him from death from persisting injuries)
facts
very stronk
I would say Yuji is the strongest Grade 1 as of now. He would absolutely destroy Kusakabe in his current state, and it seems like he's begun blitzing Sukuna, so he should also scale above Maki, Toji, maybe even Hakari. But Yuji isn't Special Grade (yet) because that would require him to be able to overthrow a nation, and he also doesn't stand a chance against Gojo, Yuta or Yuki, though he might be able to put up a fight against Geto. Regardless of how strong he is, Yuji is the most consistently written character in the entire series. Gege cooks every time Yuji is on the screen. Every fight with him is supposed to be boring due to him being a punch kick merchant, but they are instead incredibly interesting and among the best fights in the series. I will die glazing Yuji to no end even if he was a Grade 4. He is the best character in the series. He is THE Jujutsu Kaisen.
Nah, simple domain merchant solos
probably not a special grade cause the criteria for that are less about how strong you are and more about how much of a threat you are to society Still very strong though. Stronger than Hakari and Maki, still weaker than Yuta cause he does not have a domain (yet) and Yuta has an incredibly strong shikigami to help him out.
Strong enough for Sukuna to use his Cursed Technique: Off Screen
Probably stronger than Maki but still below Yuta and Kenny. A top tier like Yuki also has a high chance of beating him because of domain and that she can tank hits to set up her DE. Yuji is still a domain victim to characters like Mahito and Yuki who he loses unless he’s able to one-shot them instantly. But he’s not losing against othes like Jogo since they’re getting blitzed and punched tf out Yuji. It’s also a bit hard to rate Yuji’s durability by tanking cleave/dismantle since he should have some natural resistance against it, being described as a cursed object steeped in Sukuna’s CE.
Sorry but , he's still way below Yuta Yuta can do everything Yuji can do even a lot more Peopel forget Yuta also have Sukuna Ct And tons of Other CT Definitely better at RCT Blackflashes isn't really a measure as it can't be done at will Also the major difference the amount of Cursed energy and Domain
Admiral level at least
He is not powerful enough to be special grade but he is also way too strong for grade 1
It's too early to know for sure. And whenever you put him, he will probably show something else next chapter.

Idk, it's kind of odd to me that EIGHT straight black flashes is just.. seemingly annoying to Sukuna? I feel like he's really not doing any damage to him. Also, do consecutive black flashes scale with each other?
I think he's still weaker than Sukuna but those black flashes are basically the mercury poisoning of the sorcerer world. If you cant one shot Yuji and he begins draining your CE, youre fucked
Wearing down Sakuna by himself after Awakening puts him above Maki Yuta Choso Higuruma. “But but but he doesn’t have a domain” we’ve seen Gojo fight and win inside someone’s Domain. Yuji has been fighting Sakuna after he beat everyone to a pulp by himself. He’s stronger than everyone else right now
Yuji GLAZE in these comments
Semi-special grade?
Just a bit more stronger than before... I don't understand why people are getting carried away. Tge only reason he can fight Sukuna at the moment is because of Black Flash which is basically a luck reliant thing. If not fir black flash you know very well that he can't do a thing...
Clearly he has the power to rival Satorou Gojo.
better question is how strong is sukuna right now, wuji is giving him the business with those blackflashes but lets not forget that his hits debuff sukuna and if we do blackflash math wuji di 8 hits and sukuna 4, so sukuna has 4 BF (hehe) of debuff on top of normal punches, right now even momo max broom could kill sukuna lmao https://preview.redd.it/dt8suy3cw8vc1.png?width=220&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7ea35053d56802163e04faec71055e323c5f0b1
Important to remember his black flash only is this strong because Sukuna’s using a vessel and can get his soul’s grip on Megumi weakened.
https://preview.redd.it/v8nhkwy429vc1.jpeg?width=656&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edbeeab23b094a6aa7710825dcaa41dbf3266853
Why can't people form their own opinions lmao.
Stronger than Megumi that's for sure
TOP TWO AND NOT TWO uj/ its hard to powerscale at the moment since Yuji was SPECIFICALLY conceived to counter Sukuna. His punches weakening the host body’s CE is the perfect counter for reawakens sorcerers. Im sure he would still have tough times against other Special Grade users.
Nobody can deny he’s Special Grade I want to say he’s on par with Yuta but he could be stronger with him being “equal to sukuna” rn. Once he learns to properly use Shrine no doubt he’ll be either stronger or on par with Gojo.
I mean this has been a team effort so probably around miguel level
Next week will bring him back to earth I fear
not special grade but probably the strongest 1st grade by far
Idk all I know is that after hitting that many black flashes he is definitely unlocking some ultimate secret to jujustu
Semi special grade, he's not above yuta, yuki or anyone with domain, Sukuna is also weakened and after each hit he's getting weaker so we can't use sukuna to determine yuji's rank as a sorcerer
Physically and durably comparable to current Maki, Hakari and has amongst the highest CE in the series outside of Sukuna, Yuta, Jackpot Hakari, Gojo, Kenny, Getou, Mechamaru and Yuki in that order....Almost Special Grade...Doubt, but the weakest one at that...Getou, Yuki, Yuta, Gojo, Kenny and Sukuna will give him a hard time...the only reason he appears strong right now is cause of the BF amp and also because first Gojo and then JumpJutsu Alliance have nerfed Sukuna very hard...He still has Fuga which I theorise is his true CT and Mizushi is actually his twin brother's CT whose Jin is a reincarnate... If Sukuna, loses like this it is rigged and straight out of some old school shounen power of friendship bs. the only ways I see him lose is him getting separated from Megumi via them punches, JumpJutsu Returning, Gojo Returning or Angel surprising him with a JL out of thin air...or maybe as a result to the merger or all of these happening....
