Last year was filled with outstanding anime and manga series, but Jujutsu Kaisen dominated the fan discussion. The chances that you haven’t heard of Gege Akutami’s cult dark fantasy are slim.
Thanks to the power of its cleverly crafted myths about witches battling cursed spirits, Jujutsu Kaisen ranks second globally in manga sales behind Blue Lock.
Akutami immerses readers in a captivating world filled with dynamic characters and incredible supernatural combat.
Fan favorite Okkotsu Yuta, a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, is a prime example.
However, a popular fan theory suggests that Yuta’s death may soon come at the hands of the ruthless King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.
In the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen chapters, Sukuna can completely show off by brutally eating Yuta to regain his freedom. This will fulfill the omen from the Shibuya incident.
Although currently just speculation, this theory highlights the anxiety over the deaths of beloved characters as the manga’s intensity increases.
With Akutami’s penchant for shock, Yuta’s surrounding confrontations with evil forces like Sukuna will clearly make fans nervous.
Jujutsu Kaisen fans fear for Okkotsu Yuta’s fate in the final part against Sukuna
Gege Akutami’s dark fantasy series Jujutsu Kaisen has reached extraordinary levels of popularity, permeating mainstream culture with memes and resonating even with non-anime fans.
As the climactic final arc gets underway, the manga’s complex mythology pits an alliance of witches against the incredibly powerful Ryomen Sukuna in a duel to the death.
Authored by Akutami, Jujutsu Kaisen’s current gauntlet battle features the ruthless Sukuna easily striking enemies left and right. His growing list of victims includes skilled warriors such as Ishigori Ryu, Gojo Satoru, Kashimo, and the fearsome shikigami Mahoraga.
According to one cold-hearted fan’s theory, Sukuna could soon gain another superior opponent by literally devouring beloved character Okkotsu Yuta.
A second-year student, Yuta/Rika previously ate one of Sukuna’s severed fingers to increase his strength. Combined with Akutami’s warning that no character has plot armor, plus the foreshadowing of Sukuna’s resurrection, the stage seems set for Yuta to meet a bloody death.
For fans deeply invested in the good-natured exorcist’s journey, his chances seem grim before the wrath of the King of Curses.
With Jujutsu Kaisen building towards a disastrous end, no hero is guaranteed to survive the ruthless Sukuna.
Sukuna will kill Yuta in future chapters
Since the shocking death of their beloved mentor Gojo Satoru, Jujutsu Kaisen fans understand that no character is safe if their death drives Gege Akutami’s complex plot forward.
Hope for the witches has turned to Satoru’s protégé Okkotsu Yuta, considered the second strongest warrior alive today in their cursed world.
However, a creepy theory suggests that Yuta may soon encounter tragedy along with his deceased master. Back in 2021, Akutami revealed a plan to have ruthless villain Sukuna brutally eat an important character.
Though it’s silent as new clues are laid out that suggest the unlucky Yuta is the one Sukuna will soon cruelly devour to regain his strength.
After losing Satoru, Yuta represents the jujutsu world’s last beacon against destruction by curses like the fearsome Ryomen Sukuna. But Akutami shows that no one is safe, and Yuta eats one of Sukuna’s severed fingers, making him a target.
With all the pieces of the puzzle seamlessly connecting a terrible fate awaiting beloved hero Yuta at the hands of Sukuna, fans nervously hoped the writers would deviate from expectations.
However, shocking twists from the past show that the cruel ending many fear could actually come.
The key part of the theory points to Rika or Yuta consuming Sukuna’s last severed finger, absorbing a piece of the Cursed King’s evil power.
If Yuta is indeed the one eating the finger, a vengeful Sukuna may aim to brutally eat Yuta to regain his lost piece.
Adding more fuel, in chapter 248 of the manga Sukuna ominously declares that the “spirit-possessed boy” will become his next main party. Then, in the next chapter, he directly calls Yuta said “kid”.
With the use of the finger and Akutami’s previous comment, the clues in the text all revolve around the unlucky Yuta being the next meal destined for Sukuna.
The working theory is that in the midst of their current tense confrontation, the ruthless Sukuna will simply knock out the overly fan-favorite Yuta. An additional motive – Sukuna despises his reluctant friend Itadori Yuji.
Knowing that Yuji admires senior student Yuta, brutally eating Yuta will further traumatize Yuji in a brutal psychological battle.
All combined, the stars seemed destined to soon bring terrible doom to good-natured Yuta at the jaws of the demonic entity Ryomen Sukuna.
