Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen has kept fans on the edge of their seats with unpredictable details from the beginning. The shocking death of Gojo Satoru revered as the most formidable witch, and Sukuna’s sudden possession of Megumi’s body initially appear as odd concepts.
However, as the story progresses, these seemingly impossible events become an integral part of the story. Recent revelations surrounding Yuji Itadori have left fans pondering whether Sukuna’s choice to live in Megumi is truly the optimal path forward.
Why giving up Yuji Itadori’s body might have been Ryomen Sukuna’s biggest mistake
In the expanding story of the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, perhaps one of the most surprising revelations has come: Yuji Itadori’s origin is not what it seems. Contrary to expectations, it is revealed that Itadori is actually a creation of Kenjaku, inheriting his mother’s body.
Despite the fact that his Cursed Technique has yet to be fully demonstrated, Itadori stands out as one of the most adept Jujutsu practitioners in the entire series. Despite his lack of extensive knowledge of magic, his ability to learn quickly is remarkable.
He easily grasps techniques that even seasoned wizards find difficult to avoid. A prime example of this is his acquisition of the Black Flash attack, which was obtained in an extremely short amount of time after a discussion with Todo during the Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc.
Itadori’s potential in the series is amazing considering his unique origin. He was not merely born, but meticulously crafted by Kenjaku, imbued with immense abilities that the Cursed King chose to forgo in pursuit of the Ten Shadows technique.
Although Ryomen Sukuna experienced a significant power increase after requisitioning Megumi Fushiguro’s body, the decision to abandon Yuji Itadori may have been unjustified.
It’s clear that Sukuna enjoys a form of armor in the plot, a trait shared by Itadori as the series’ central protagonist. Blessed with boundless potential and a remarkable ability to learn, Itadori is considered one of the main vessels that Sukuna had the right to use but chose to forgo.
Furthermore, Itadori’s cursed technique remains a mystery, capable of surpassing Fushiguro’s ten shadow technique.
A testament to Itadori’s power is his mastery of the Curse Reversal Technique, a feat that even Gojo Satoru, one of the most formidable sorcerers, could not repeat. This technique grants the user the ability to heal themselves with cursed energy, a skill Itadori demonstrated after a near-fatal encounter with one of Sukuna’s devastating attacks.
