Warning: This article contains SPOILERS from Jujutsu Kaisen #243Yuta Okkotsu considered the most promising witches of the early times Jujutsu Kaisen, and he was actually the first main character of the story, but then he literally disappeared, pushed aside by the appearances of Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori, and Nobara Kugisaki. His absence is so prolonged that even when he briefly reappears in the story, he seems largely irrelevant to those who remember him. However, now Yuta is back and immediately reminds everyone why he is considered one of the most powerful magicians in the world.
In chapter #243 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the series’ true villainous mastermind Kenjaku makes a fatal mistake. He let himself get so engrossed in the surreal battle against Takaba that he let his guard down, which allowed Yuta to knock him out with a single blow.
It’s true that this game could only have been orchestrated thanks to Takaba’s cursed technique, but Yuta delivering the killing blow to Kenjaku means that, perhaps, Jujutsu Kaisen’s original protagonist will return to the spotlight and not too soon. After Gojo’s death, the witches lost their main asset and the only person who could truly replace Gojo was actually his most promising student, Yuta.
Yuta proves that he is currently the strongest mage in Jujutsu Kaisen
Contrary to popular belief, Jujutsu Kaisen does not begin with the famous story of Yuji swallowing Sukuna’s finger. In fact, it started out as a limited series focusing on Yuta Okkotsu. That story, titled “The Cursed Child,” was later republished as Chapter 0 in the manga Jujutsu Kaisen and adapted into the film Sunghoo Park Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie, which was so well received that Author Gege Akutami and publisher Shueisha decided to expand the story into an ongoing series.
That initial story ends with Yuta clearly on a plan to become the most powerful wizard the world has seen in a long time – a development that even Gojo acknowledges. But then came the new series, focusing on new characters, and it became instantly popular, meaning Yuta eventually became a background character. With Gojo’s sudden death, as the last surviving Special Class Mage of this era, even if Yuta wanted to stay behind, circumstances simply did not allow him. As he demonstrated in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #243, his strength and abilities are second to none – especially now that he has resolved his Rika issues.
Indeed, Yuta’s elimination of Kenjaku was spectacular on many levels. Although the confrontation only lasted a moment, it spoke volumes about Yuta’s abilities. While he can jump on Kenjaku, the villain can still use his “cursed reverse technique: anti-gravity.” This is an extremely powerful spell that, by its very nature, subjects the victim to extreme gravitational forces. However, Yuta is both fast enough to escape its full effects and strong enough to decapitate Kenjaku with just one swing.
Kenjaku obtained the original anti-gravity curse technique through possessing Yuji’s mother, Kaori Itadori. It’s her natural technique. He is able to reverse its effects thanks to his mastery of the curse reversal technique.
The confrontation also reveals Yuta’s deep understanding of how magic works. In his attack, he aimed for the enemy’s head because he knew that, with Kenjaku’s masterful reverse curse technique, the only way to kill him instantly was to cut the head from the body. It will be interesting to see if author Gege Akutami will actually return to his original story and give Yuta Okkotsu a prominent role, but for now, his quick defeat of Kenjaku proves the point. there EARTH Actually Jujutsu KaisenThe new strongest witch of.
