The latest chapter of the popular manga Jujutsu Kaisen has revealed intriguing new details about main character Yuta and his powerful curse technique. During the climactic battle against the series’ main antagonist Sukuna, Yuta demonstrates the ability to copy and use Sukuna’s own attacks against him.
Specifically, chapter 250 shows Yuta using “Cleave”, one of Sukuna’s signature moves, after copying Sukuna’s cursed technique. Yuta’s cursed technique “Copy” allows him to copy any cursed technique he comes across and store it in his domain for later use.
This includes the unnamed curse technique that Sukuna relies on.
The reveal that Yuta can copy even Sukuna’s techniques raises interesting questions. The exact conditions and limits of Yuta’s copying ability remain unclear.
However, his demonstration of copying Sukuna’s valuable technique shows that Yuta can counter all of Sukuna’s abilities.
With this latest development, Yuta seems ready to gain the upper hand against the formidable Sukuna.
Copying Sukuna’s beloved cursed technique suggests that Yuta may finally win the climactic manga battle between two powerful jujutsu sorcerers.
More revelations about the intricacies of Yuta’s technique could play a pivotal role in determining the winner.
The secret of Yuta’s copying ability in Jujutsu Kaisen
While the current war in Jujutsu Kaisen is reaching its climax, the manga still holds many secrets about the intricacies of Yuta’s mysterious cursed move.
Specifically, the conditions and limits necessary for Yuta to copy other techniques remain unclear.
The series has not explicitly stated any firm rules regarding Yuta’s copying abilities.
However, chapter 179 gives a clue when Yuta only gains access to Uro’s technique after his ally Rika consumes part of Uro’s body.
This implies that Yuta may need Rika to ingest biological material from the target to replicate their technique.
If so, Yuta may have asked Rika to consume one of Sukuna’s preserved fingers to copy Sukuna’s signature curse technique.
As remnants of Sukuna’s original physical form, the fingers could provide the biological key needed for Yuta’s copying powers to work on Sukuna.
The specifics of how Yuta copied the techniques could have important implications for the outcome of his confrontation with Sukuna.
More revelations about the workings of his cursed technique could be pivotal as the suspenseful battle reaches its conclusion in the popular manga.
Furthermore, chapter 222 also contains clues about Sukuna’s missing finger, supporting the theory behind Yuta’s copying ability.
In that chapter, Sukuna suspects that the missing finger may belong to Gojo.
This raises the possibility that Gojo provided the missing finger to Rika during Yuta’s month of special training before the Sukuna battle.
Using the finger would allow Rika to trigger Yuta to copy Sukuna’s technique, consistent with the proposed biological mechanism.
This theory also clearly explains Yuta’s confusing statement in chapter 250 that he “cheated” to prepare to face Sukuna.
Getting the secret finger from Gojo gave Yuta an advantage over Sukuna that he considered unfair.
Yuta’s potential game changer
If Rika consuming biological material is a requirement for Yuta’s copying abilities, then that could spell big trouble for Sukuna in their climactic battle.
With Higuruma stripping Sukuna of his martial arts techniques and Yuta’s domain neutralizing Sukuna’s extended Cleave, Sukuna’s only remaining trump card appears to be his unnamed fire technique kept secret since the Shibuya incident.
However, based on Yuta’s proposed power mechanics, he can now also recreate and use that devastating fire move alongside Sukuna’s fire arrow.
This shows that Yuta is capable of countering all of Sukuna’s abilities, eliminating his last major advantage. While Sukuna has prevailed for much of the fight thus far, the witches have slowly depleted his cursed energy reserves.
This set the stage for Yuta and Yuji to finally take center stage with their full abilities on display.
