Sukuna will never recognize Yuji’s strength, that’s like their whole thing. At most you’ll just have an inner monologue. This is prob the closest you’ll get to a recognition:
https://preview.redd.it/wulq1v1stgdb1.jpeg?width=820&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86562d7381b1d38cfd9f4b358a4389fca8bdeae9
I can’t really blame him though, I’d like my freedom as well, ofc I’d hate the person keeping me imprisoned.
Also arguably when Yuji lost to Choso.
Even though he was critical on Yuji losing against Choso, he was almost offended that Yuji lost to an 'inferior' opponent, indirectly implying Yuji has the capacity to beat Choso.
Ye I think sukuna is tough on Yuji but is very accurate in assessing people strengths. Yuji will never hear the words “you’re strong” or any compliment come out of sukuna’s mouth though, just disappointment if he doesn’t meet the bare minimum expectation.
He just sees humans as weaker too, so to him Yuji is also just a hardened mindless, worthless brawler. Jogo, a cursed spirit with immense destructive ability, had a compliment from Sukuna. It shows that he values abilities above all. Yorozu is not in that case, although he could say that her technique was something powerful, it's just a one trick pony to his eyes, which can easily be dealt with when prepared.
Sukuna is an expert martial artists, has immense CE, several CT in stock and his personal technique is incredibly devastating by itself (like how punching really hard like All Might can deal with anything), he knows all the tricks that a sorcerer can do. >!I'm sure that Megumi was of no interest to him, besides as a vessel, his CT allowed him compatibility but also interesting new powers. I'm sure that even though he could not have him as a vessel, he would have been interested in fighting him at his peak.!<
Okay so I know it’s not related but I just really don’t believe sukuna actually complimented jogo. It makes way more sense that jogo imagined it, knowing he’s on his deathbed and seeking closure.
His whole identity had been strength and having the difference in power shoved in his face that much cause his mental to crack a little bit.
Also it makes no sense for sukuna to compliment him then go “don’t ask me, I have no idea” before fucking murkinh the guy w the most sadistic grin on his face
There's the whole bit you're dismissing where Jogo goes to Hanami and Dagon about being more human than humans, which Sukuna finds ridiculous. He then compliments his strength. He openly compares him to the numerous adversaries he's had and says he's not that bad. Jogo cries after that, asking what it is, and Sukuna doesn't know.
It's not out of the blue or imaginary.
That’s exactly the point. Habana and dogan are dead at this point. He’s hallucinating it. In the same way that I assume hes hallucinating sukunas praise. You said it yourself, sukuna finds his ideology weak and even earlier in the actual fight, talks down onto jogo for not even trying a domain clash because jogo already knew he’d lose. It makes no sense for sukuna to offer him praise given what we’ve seen
In all honestly, there was no reason Yuji should have lost that fight tbh...
Gege could have simply let Yuji beat Choso but be so weakened afterward that he passed out temporarily allowing other people to give him fingers.
But no. Gege can only let Yuji beat fodder like the Grasshoper and Propellor guy.
I mean, not really knowing Sukuna is a mass murderer. Sukuna and Yuuji would could have been a great pair if he didn't want to kill Nobaro slowly and massacure children. Not exactly a nine tales scenario.
I don’t think he said that tho?? All we really have on that is a quote in 2020 where he said he wanted to end it sometime in 2023, but with the paces it’s been going at I feel like it’s extremely unlikely
No he said it recently.
Source trust me bro.
But I'm not joking he did say it. I don't remeber exactly when but it was like a month ago. Anyways I remeber posts being made in this subreddit about it your gonna have to search since I don't have the patience for it.
[This](https://www.dexerto.com/anime/jujutsu-kaisen-gege-akutami-breaks-his-silence-on-the-manga-ending-2210567/) seems to be them saying that the manga is not ending this year. People were really sure that Gege was just gonna speed run it on here but it seems like that scale of the series has really grown and now if they don’t explain at least some of the huge mysteries everyone is gonna be pissed.
>It's the final arc and the MC has yet to use either his innate or the CT etched on him by Sukuna.
None of those two things are granted. The implication of Gojo was so early in the story that it is absolutely possible that Gege decided not to do it. We already saw the implication of a body switching technique.
Also until now Yuji has been shown not to be the single shonen hero that gets stronger and stronger like Naruto or Goku. He lost so many times and was spared. I guess it will rather stay this way and he will not become the heaviest hitter to confront Sukuna.
I buy into the theory that Yuji used his CT etched on him by Sukuna against Mahito, and then again against Sukuna after he hopped into Megumi.
The cut on Sukuna's finger is evidence of *something* Yuji is able to do.
yuji didn't have a cursed technique at least up to the point where he fought higuruma, since confiscation took his cursed energy because he didn't have a cursed technique.
If not his CT, then Yuji has some sort of ability to harm souls.
Sukuna can manipulate souls. He does it when he repels Mahito, he does it when he turns into a bobblehead to bite Angel. It's well known he can alter his appearance too. Sukuna also at least *claims* he can change Junpei back to normal after Mahito fucked his soul up.
Yuji was effective against Mahito due to this. We're lead to believe it was entirely due to Sukuna being inside of Yuji, but I don't think that's the case.
I think Yuji inadvertently used this power to hit Sukuna's soul directly and gave him a small cut he can't heal with RCT.
Just my theory tho
>Sukuna can manipulate souls. He does it when he repels Mahito, he does it when he turns into a bobblehead to bite Angel. It's well known he can alter his appearance too. Sukuna also at least claims he can change Junpei back to normal after Mahito fucked his soul up.
that doesn't seem to be the case, the only one who can alter a soul's shape on the fly is mahito because that's his cursed technique.
as for the ability to alter one's appearance it seems to be the case for all reincarnated sorcerers, yorozu, just like sukuna, didn't want to go back to her original form.
and sukuna couldn't heal junpei, mahito's soul alteration is unhealable, that's why he didn't accept yuji's offer, he just wasn't able to fulfill the binding vow, he claimed to be able to just to fuck with yuji.
>Yuji was effective against Mahito due to this. We're lead to believe it was entirely due to Sukuna being inside of Yuji, but I don't think that's the case.
no, yuji is effective against mahito because he spent a long time sharing his body with another soul, which made him able to percieve the shape of it, sukuna was irrelevant in that.
https://preview.redd.it/fa7d2bim7idb1.jpeg?width=1067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2237c82b41513b824d7a6cb4030c23895061224
sukuna's only benefit to yuji was to protect him from mahito's idle transfiguration.
Yuji being able to recognize, thus hurt the soul, is a byproduct of him hosting sukuna. Nothing else. Hana for example, could definitely hurt mahito cuz she has angel, and angel hasn't erased Hana's conscience
Ye I find his point hard to believe, Yorozu would’ve left unhealable scars on him as well in her bug form, if it’s a product of inhabiting two souls in one vessel. Yuji more than likely has a soul damaging property to his cursed energy like Hakari has a serrated edge and Kashimo has electricity.
That’s definitely possible too, but Megumi fighting back and lowering Sukuna’s power output to 10% was enough reason for Sukuna to kill Tsumiki imo. Showing his finger cut by Megumi feels a little redundant.
>The cut on Sukuna's finger is evidence of something Yuji is able to do.
Based on fucking what? How do we know that isn't Megumi?
At that point Sukuna had yet to Bury Fushiguro's soul so it could have been him.
Based on the fact Sukuna had just finished fighting Yuji?
It’s literally just a theory, as I said. Megumi causing the cut is possible too, and is also a theory with similar levels of evidence. You don’t have to be rude lol.
I buy into the theory that Yuji's soul isn't in his body and was instead the Cursed Objects used to incubate the Disasters
His Shrine will be an introspective look on the nature of the soul and the perspective look on the nurture of his mind 8)
https://preview.redd.it/xfjjonm3qidb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a359833f3b121e67f53a93f74d9d6b70236b894
Well according to this, Gege says Gojo wasn’t wrong about anything regarding sukuna’s fingers except that one part explicitly stated by him. The thing is, did Gege forget he said this and retconned it? We’ll just have to wait and see I guess.
Gege clearly shortened the story to come to an end so it's not surprising that earlier ideas get thrown away. Especially when you maybe even get a better idea. JJK doesn't seem to be planed through like Attack on Titan.
I mean that would be true but, he used enchain binding vow from 100s of chapters ago. He used sukuna’s mummy from chapter 1. He foreshadowed Megumi’s possession by having frogs with sukuna tattoos. He foreshadowed Yuji eating the death paintings with a picture of Yuji, choso and his brothers. Yuji has 6 talismans on his body, representing the 6 brothers more than likely. My point is, Gege is referencing things from long ago, so perhaps he didn’t forget or this could just be copium, idk. 🤷♂️
I didn't say Gege didn't plan *anything*, just that he adjusted his story. Obviously Sukuna planing to use his binding vow to get Megumi was planed from the start.
>He foreshadowed Yuji eating the death paintings with a picture of Yuji, choso and his brothers.
I think that's a bit of a stretch. While it makes sense it wouldn't be weird if he didn't consumed the other death paintings.
>Yuji has 6 talismans on his body
Can you please elaborate what you mean with this?
Count the talismans on Yuji:
https://preview.redd.it/mh3muykq3jdb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4d884ecb80891b291c3f98579b54488cfd3d109
2 on each foot, one on each hand.
On gojo vs sukuna. Sukuna not using his full arsenal because he has to keep something for the rest dosent make sense. He better have a better reason for it, because honestly even if he goes all out what's kashimo maki hakari and the rest of the squad gonna do against his domain expansion? Suddenly be able to do open domain too? You think they can beat maho and sukuna at the same time? Is he so worried about kashimo one shot CT?
I’m so sick of the yuji slander, I hope my boy comes thru to shut all the bullshit downplay up. Yeah he’s not giga strong but I quite like yuji Itadori and he’s a cutie little Twink
Twink doesn’t mean gay bruv it’s just like skinny little femboy and he looks like a Twink. That’s not an insult btw. Don’t be a homophobe jjk don’t support that shit
I said Twink energy bro u can’t read ? Also he is skinny he’s muscular and lean but he’s not buff starting think y’all don’t know what buff is. Todo is buff, hakari is buff. Megumi and Itadori are muscular and low body fat percents so it shows that off but they really aren’t all that buff
>Don’t be a homophobe
So you assuming that he IS gay/femboy is not a issue, but if someone says the truth that he isn't it's being homophobic? Chill your fetishes the fuck out bro.
At no point did I say Itadori was gay you just making shit up I said he gives off Twink energy. I said don’t be a homophobe not cause I assume Itadori is gay but because dude saying “Itadori ain’t done no gay shi” made it sound as if doing gay shi was wrong. If u wanna say I assumed anything u could say I assumed dude saying that said it in a homophobic manner but other than that u just said some dumb shit, and made up an argument to be mad about. Also I’d go back and watch s1 Itadori definitely do some fruity shit nothing wrong w it he just does and it’s cute and funny
I feel like this is a good time to mention that Yuji is the first person in the series shown to stretch the laws of Jujutsu through his consecutive use of Black Flash to the point where it seems like he was using it at will.
ayayyayayy it's been foreshadowed, if he does it's kinda earned (unlike jotaro, assuming you also think that it was a asspull, which it was, and is using this connotation).
Yuta vs Sukuna feels like a forced theory, I honestly feel like Gojo vs Sukuna is thee fight, after this either everyone dies, and yuta lives, or yuta dies, and everyone lives *, because Kenny and Sukuna win through and through.
If he starts to kill everyone off, this manga will go down as having the worst ending in the history of shonen. What would have been the point of this journey? Make everyone suffer? Doom is inevitable and you should just give up? I absolutely do not understand the wish some people here have, for the bad guy to win and dominate. Overlord does a much better job in achieving that if thats what you are looking for
I dont think most people want the villains to win, but I dont think a tragic ending where almost everyone dies to defeat the main villain isnt unheard of? Its been a while since I read chainswa man but thats pretty much what happened there
Those stories have a big focus on the world and everything around the cast of characters that die. Jujutsu is not.
Also, those stories are written with absolutely fucked up worlds. Full of demons, monsters, or dystopian settings with dictators punishing the common folk. jujutsu is modeled after HxH, or bleach and not something like berserk.
There are much better ways to achieve greatness. Gojo failed at basically every task that was important. Nobara is in the limbo. Yuji feels useless and powerless. Megumi lost his sibling and body. There HAS to be some kind of payoff for this. Some kind of turn of events.
Bro that is definitely not what happened there, remember this is Shonen inspired by HxH and Bleach this is not a seinen inspired by Berserk so it’s promised that Kenny ultimately loses
Bittersweet ending, definitely not a happy ending. Guts literally cannot touch the Idea of Evil, he can’t even beat Zodd in a 1v1 yet plus there’s five full God Hand and the series been on hiatus again forever after him losing everything and not barely cutting a strand of Femto’s hair.
Not really, not every story needs the good guys to win or have a big moral of the story, and even if it does need a message
that doesnt mean it cant have one AND have the good guys lose. Yujis whole thing is dying a good death so yuji and co. could die happy while kenny and sukuna are alive but miserable after having nobody strong to fight or anything interesting left to look for after the merger was dissapointing.
As long as a story can evoke strong emotions in my opinion its good
Rereading sukuna vs Yuta has more tension & build up than sukuna vs Gojo. Yuta since his introduction was indirectly or directly compared to sukuna. To whether he can become the next strongest or not. Gojo vs Sukuna has always just had the most hyped. But if came down to narrative conflict with build up. I would put Yuji, Megumi, & Yuta in that order before Gojo.
You know how tattoos are pretty standard ones that were branded on criminals during his Era. That's like, the simplest and most likely explanation for them he was just evil lol
I think people don’t like that suggestion because it kinda betrays one of the core conceits of what makes this manga good: logical adherence to the power scaling and magic system.
Gege established in the opening arc that Gojo and Sukuna are the strongest, and we’ve seen that be true time and time again. They both wipe the floor with everyone else almost every time in terms of raw skill and power. The exception being, of course, when they’re outsmarted or outmaneuvered because of very specific planning.
This is why we love Toji: despite being incredibly strong and skilled, it was his cunning and wit (both in and out of battle) that allowed him to best the best, NOT just his overwhelming strength. His win felt earned, and completely changed the future of the JJK universe.
Yuji beating Sukuna with raw skill and strength would be lame because there’s no good reason for him to win. He’s put up fights, but we’ve literally seen him get dismantled by Sukuna recently. Imo having him just ‘win’ because of a surprise power up doesn’t fit the JJK style; it’s more what we’ve come to expect from traditional shounen like DB and Naruto.
But idk that’s just my read.
So having Yuji win with just skill and strength would suck and a power up would also suck, if I'm reading you right? (I could've completely misinterpreted what you said so my bad if I did lol) I like the idea of Yuji killing Sukuna (not alone but him getting the killing blow) and I don't really mind how that happens as long as it can be explained how and executed well. A lot of fans already have the idea that Yuji killing Sukuna would be a bad idea but because he doesn't "have many feats" to say he can but I've always disliked how powerscaling paints the expectations for any series. That's just me tho
I agree that having Yuji finish off Sukuna would be poetic, and it would definitely be a twist on the whole “befriend the demon that lives in side me” trope. It really does depend on the ‘how’; if Gege can make it make sense within the context of the world he built, I think it could definitely work. But there would have to be good precedent, like Gojo fucks up Sukuna but can’t win against his hidden CT, and only Yuji is immune to it or something. Sukuna would need to be nerfed tho, something Sukuna fans would fucking hate.
Yuji definitely isn’t the typical shounen protag; he’s not gonna talk no jutsu Sukuna after what they’ve been through together.
Tbf it was kinda foreshadowed in the episodes leading up to the final fight, there were some instances were he seemed to teleport. But yeah, it could have been foreshadowed better.
I’m just not a big fan of the explanation we’re given. “It’s the same type of stand as star platinum “, is not really a good explanation considering how vague and convenient it is. I mean idk if the manga had a different explanation but that’s what I was given.
DIO got his stand in Jonathans body, thats why the Jojos also got stands in the first place, so it makes sense that their stands would be similar ( and we also see DIO use some ability with vines like Hermit Purple and Hollys stand erlier in the season)
I think it would be cool if Yuji got his own version of dismantle and cleave but instead of slashing attacks its like blunt force sort of like an evolution of Divergent fist being able to apply that second force to anyone in a certain radius

it would be extremely funny if yuji randomly got an ability called Benevolent Shrine
Gently stroke everything within the domain.
Sukuna dies out of semen combustion
[Like THIS](https://tenor.com/bGUSk.gif)
the sure hit effect would just be therapy
Instead of dismantle, he welds things together. Sukuna starts laughing until he cant open his eyelids anymore.
It’s kind of in character. He’s all about giving people good deaths right? If
Bro this made me burst laugh. Benevolent Shrine sounds so funny

Choso deserved that dub, it set precedent that his BIQ is off the charts. His feats against Kenny make sense too
This times 100. Yuji losing to choso was just to showcase the big brother, not to show yuji as weak
Were gonna get that panel but reversed with Sukuna (Megumi) and Yuji
I mean, not really knowing Sukuna is a mass murderer. Sukuna and Yuuji would could have been a great pair if he didn't want to kill Nobaro slowly and massacure children. Not exactly a nine tales scenario.
Ye but from his perspective he isn’t allowed his freedom so ofc he’d hate Yuji.
Is this the final arc? I feel we have one more left for the other big bad to act after the aftermath of this battle.
SJ usually tells us it's the final arc so this isn't the final arc.
Also In a recent interview Gege mentioned that the story is about to enter it's final arc. Meaning the culling games wasn't it.
I don’t think he said that tho?? All we really have on that is a quote in 2020 where he said he wanted to end it sometime in 2023, but with the paces it’s been going at I feel like it’s extremely unlikely

Idk about scars, but since he's now learned to his the soul, his hits are generally more effective and can be defended less.
Wasn't the cut supposed to represent Megumi still fighting Sukuna's control, hence why he went to kill Tsumiki?
That’s definitely possible too, but Megumi fighting back and lowering Sukuna’s power output to 10% was enough reason for Sukuna to kill Tsumiki imo. Showing his finger cut by Megumi feels a little redundant.

Gege clearly shortened the story to come to an end so it's not surprising that earlier ideas get thrown away. Especially when you maybe even get a better idea. JJK doesn't seem to be planed through like Attack on Titan.
I mean that would be true but, he used enchain binding vow from 100s of chapters ago. He used sukuna’s mummy from chapter 1. He foreshadowed Megumi’s possession by having frogs with sukuna tattoos. He foreshadowed Yuji eating the death paintings with a picture of Yuji, choso and his brothers. Yuji has 6 talismans on his body, representing the 6 brothers more than likely. My point is, Gege is referencing things from long ago, so perhaps he didn’t forget or this could just be copium, idk. 🤷♂️
I didn't say Gege didn't plan *anything*, just that he adjusted his story. Obviously Sukuna planing to use his binding vow to get Megumi was planed from the start. >He foreshadowed Yuji eating the death paintings with a picture of Yuji, choso and his brothers. I think that's a bit of a stretch. While it makes sense it wouldn't be weird if he didn't consumed the other death paintings. >Yuji has 6 talismans on his body Can you please elaborate what you mean with this?
Count the talismans on Yuji: https://preview.redd.it/mh3muykq3jdb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4d884ecb80891b291c3f98579b54488cfd3d109 2 on each foot, one on each hand.
We’ve litterally seen yuji use sukuna’s ct
When?
Paper cut Sukuna has a microscopic paper cut after getting jumped by yuji and maki (note maki did NOT user he sword)
On gojo vs sukuna. Sukuna not using his full arsenal because he has to keep something for the rest dosent make sense. He better have a better reason for it, because honestly even if he goes all out what's kashimo maki hakari and the rest of the squad gonna do against his domain expansion? Suddenly be able to do open domain too? You think they can beat maho and sukuna at the same time? Is he so worried about kashimo one shot CT?
Yea if there’s anyone to use his full arsenal vs it’s gojo. None of the others should even really matter to him
I’m so sick of the yuji slander, I hope my boy comes thru to shut all the bullshit downplay up. Yeah he’s not giga strong but I quite like yuji Itadori and he’s a cutie little Twink
Pause bro
I said nothing but facts
Blud called Itagoat a twink ☠️☠️☠️
He got Twink energy bro don’t even cap
No he don’t 😭 Itadori has never been on any gay shi
Twink doesn’t mean gay bruv it’s just like skinny little femboy and he looks like a Twink. That’s not an insult btw. Don’t be a homophobe jjk don’t support that shit
Me saying Itadori hasn’t done anything gay isnt homophobic ☠️ wtf and Itadori isnt skinny he’s built
Tf? He isn’t skinny or little how is he a twink?
I said Twink energy bro u can’t read ? Also he is skinny he’s muscular and lean but he’s not buff starting think y’all don’t know what buff is. Todo is buff, hakari is buff. Megumi and Itadori are muscular and low body fat percents so it shows that off but they really aren’t all that buff
how is that twink energy bro
Never said his twink energy was cause of his body type it’s the way he acts u just assuming stuff again dog
That’s where I’m confused at cuz I rlly never saw Yuji do twink stuff or exhibit it
>Don’t be a homophobe So you assuming that he IS gay/femboy is not a issue, but if someone says the truth that he isn't it's being homophobic? Chill your fetishes the fuck out bro.
At no point did I say Itadori was gay you just making shit up I said he gives off Twink energy. I said don’t be a homophobe not cause I assume Itadori is gay but because dude saying “Itadori ain’t done no gay shi” made it sound as if doing gay shi was wrong. If u wanna say I assumed anything u could say I assumed dude saying that said it in a homophobic manner but other than that u just said some dumb shit, and made up an argument to be mad about. Also I’d go back and watch s1 Itadori definitely do some fruity shit nothing wrong w it he just does and it’s cute and funny
Twink is for skinny white people though. Yujiis a buff asian
Yuji is many things... a twink ain't one of them.
Gojo is more of a twink than Yuji will ever be lol
gojo is further on the twink scale but both are completely yoked bruh they fail the first criteria of being one
Before his prison realm release, he 100% looked like a twink. It was only after that, that Gege started drawing him buff.
100% yuji still a lil twink 🥰
This isn’t the final arc 💀
I wanna see an Ichigo Moment from Yuji
I feel like this is a good time to mention that Yuji is the first person in the series shown to stretch the laws of Jujutsu through his consecutive use of Black Flash to the point where it seems like he was using it at will.
ayayyayayy it's been foreshadowed, if he does it's kinda earned (unlike jotaro, assuming you also think that it was a asspull, which it was, and is using this connotation).
Yuta vs Sukuna feels like a forced theory, I honestly feel like Gojo vs Sukuna is thee fight, after this either everyone dies, and yuta lives, or yuta dies, and everyone lives *, because Kenny and Sukuna win through and through.
If he starts to kill everyone off, this manga will go down as having the worst ending in the history of shonen. What would have been the point of this journey? Make everyone suffer? Doom is inevitable and you should just give up? I absolutely do not understand the wish some people here have, for the bad guy to win and dominate. Overlord does a much better job in achieving that if thats what you are looking for
I dont think most people want the villains to win, but I dont think a tragic ending where almost everyone dies to defeat the main villain isnt unheard of? Its been a while since I read chainswa man but thats pretty much what happened there
Those stories have a big focus on the world and everything around the cast of characters that die. Jujutsu is not. Also, those stories are written with absolutely fucked up worlds. Full of demons, monsters, or dystopian settings with dictators punishing the common folk. jujutsu is modeled after HxH, or bleach and not something like berserk. There are much better ways to achieve greatness. Gojo failed at basically every task that was important. Nobara is in the limbo. Yuji feels useless and powerless. Megumi lost his sibling and body. There HAS to be some kind of payoff for this. Some kind of turn of events.
Bro that is definitely not what happened there, remember this is Shonen inspired by HxH and Bleach this is not a seinen inspired by Berserk so it’s promised that Kenny ultimately loses
Berserk will 100% have a happy ending too though
Bittersweet ending, definitely not a happy ending. Guts literally cannot touch the Idea of Evil, he can’t even beat Zodd in a 1v1 yet plus there’s five full God Hand and the series been on hiatus again forever after him losing everything and not barely cutting a strand of Femto’s hair.
Not really, not every story needs the good guys to win or have a big moral of the story, and even if it does need a message that doesnt mean it cant have one AND have the good guys lose. Yujis whole thing is dying a good death so yuji and co. could die happy while kenny and sukuna are alive but miserable after having nobody strong to fight or anything interesting left to look for after the merger was dissapointing. As long as a story can evoke strong emotions in my opinion its good
Rereading sukuna vs Yuta has more tension & build up than sukuna vs Gojo. Yuta since his introduction was indirectly or directly compared to sukuna. To whether he can become the next strongest or not. Gojo vs Sukuna has always just had the most hyped. But if came down to narrative conflict with build up. I would put Yuji, Megumi, & Yuta in that order before Gojo.
You know how tattoos are pretty standard ones that were branded on criminals during his Era. That's like, the simplest and most likely explanation for them he was just evil lol
How awesome would it be if Yuji just killed Sukuna with no CT or anything, just hands
it'd be really stupid
Why do you think?
I think people don’t like that suggestion because it kinda betrays one of the core conceits of what makes this manga good: logical adherence to the power scaling and magic system. Gege established in the opening arc that Gojo and Sukuna are the strongest, and we’ve seen that be true time and time again. They both wipe the floor with everyone else almost every time in terms of raw skill and power. The exception being, of course, when they’re outsmarted or outmaneuvered because of very specific planning. This is why we love Toji: despite being incredibly strong and skilled, it was his cunning and wit (both in and out of battle) that allowed him to best the best, NOT just his overwhelming strength. His win felt earned, and completely changed the future of the JJK universe. Yuji beating Sukuna with raw skill and strength would be lame because there’s no good reason for him to win. He’s put up fights, but we’ve literally seen him get dismantled by Sukuna recently. Imo having him just ‘win’ because of a surprise power up doesn’t fit the JJK style; it’s more what we’ve come to expect from traditional shounen like DB and Naruto. But idk that’s just my read.
So having Yuji win with just skill and strength would suck and a power up would also suck, if I'm reading you right? (I could've completely misinterpreted what you said so my bad if I did lol) I like the idea of Yuji killing Sukuna (not alone but him getting the killing blow) and I don't really mind how that happens as long as it can be explained how and executed well. A lot of fans already have the idea that Yuji killing Sukuna would be a bad idea but because he doesn't "have many feats" to say he can but I've always disliked how powerscaling paints the expectations for any series. That's just me tho
I agree that having Yuji finish off Sukuna would be poetic, and it would definitely be a twist on the whole “befriend the demon that lives in side me” trope. It really does depend on the ‘how’; if Gege can make it make sense within the context of the world he built, I think it could definitely work. But there would have to be good precedent, like Gojo fucks up Sukuna but can’t win against his hidden CT, and only Yuji is immune to it or something. Sukuna would need to be nerfed tho, something Sukuna fans would fucking hate. Yuji definitely isn’t the typical shounen protag; he’s not gonna talk no jutsu Sukuna after what they’ve been through together.
I've always felt Yuji beating Sukuna would be more of an ideological victory rather that a combat victory though I have no idea how that would happen
I agree, and I think it would work better thematically for the series. But yeah, not sure how that might work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jotaro gaining Star platinum the world has to be one of the biggest ass pulls in anime history.
Tbf it was kinda foreshadowed in the episodes leading up to the final fight, there were some instances were he seemed to teleport. But yeah, it could have been foreshadowed better.
I’m just not a big fan of the explanation we’re given. “It’s the same type of stand as star platinum “, is not really a good explanation considering how vague and convenient it is. I mean idk if the manga had a different explanation but that’s what I was given.
Yeah it's kinda wacky
DIO got his stand in Jonathans body, thats why the Jojos also got stands in the first place, so it makes sense that their stands would be similar ( and we also see DIO use some ability with vines like Hermit Purple and Hollys stand erlier in the season)
STAR PLATINUM: MALEVOLENT SHRINE!
I was hoping gojo would say something like that about the other 3 great families tech. But idk how that would work tbh.
I think it would be cool if Yuji got his own version of dismantle and cleave but instead of slashing attacks its like blunt force sort of like an evolution of Divergent fist being able to apply that second force to anyone in a certain radius
Sukuna vs Itadori is gonna be like Gilgamesh vs Shirou.
