Chapter 248 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga introduced Yuta’s fight against Curse King Sukuna. This event raises expectations for an impending confrontation between the two most powerful wizards in the series.
Yuta is known for his vast reserves of cursed energy, emerging as a potential winner against Sukuna. Especially after the bad guy defeated Gojo and eliminated other formidable opponents like Kashimo and Higuruma.
Despite his fame and power since the Heian Period, Sukuna will face significant challenges that could tip the balance in Yuta’s favor. Let’s explore why and how Yuta was able to gain the upper hand in this decisive battle.
Sukuna is not at his best
Although Sukuna is the strongest spellcaster in the series, he is not in the best form. Previous confrontations, especially the battle with Gojo, had left consequences for Sukuna. He cannot use his domain extension due to brain damage, limiting his ultimate attack.
Additionally, Sukuna’s reverse cursed technique has been weakened, reducing its healing ability. This becomes apparent during the battle against Kashimo, where the Curse King chooses to transform rather than heal Megumi’s body.
And Sukuna was clearly exhausted after constantly fighting against the series’ strongest characters. Although he did not appear tired, his cursed physical and energy limits were nearing their limits, which could be crucial to the course of the battle.
Yuta is the best support for this fight
Yuta joins the battle against the Curse King in Jujutsu Kaisen not alone. He also has formidable support, which is important to face Sukuna. One of Yuta’s main allies is Rika, the Spirit of Vengeance, known as the Queen of Curses.
Rika is attached to Yuta, not only storing cursed tools and techniques but also being able to be summoned at any time to fight or protect Yuta. This partnership is further enhanced by the ‘Love Beam’ attack, a demonstration of their combined power, showing Yuta’s evolution and improved control of Rika.
Besides Rika, Yuji also remains an important participant on the battlefield. His evolution as a spellcaster, including learning the curse reversal technique, and steadfast determination make Yuji a valuable ally in the fight against Sukuna. Yuji’s indomitable will and fighting spirit are factors that can positively impact the fight alongside Yuta and Rika.
Other members of Jujutsu High, such as Maki (whose whereabouts are currently unknown) could also become key figures in this war.
Yuta’s unique power
Yuta’s cursed strength and technique are important factors in this battle. His ability to copy techniques from other spellcasters is a significant advantage. This technique, although not fully explored, has demonstrated its great potential, as seen in the fight against Ryu and Uro, when Yuta used Inumaki’s curse and copied the bending technique. Uro’s sky.
The implications of this replicability are enormous. Yuta is capable of using stolen techniques at his peak, limited only by his understanding and cursed energy reserves. We haven’t even seen the full potential of Yuta’s domain expansion yet. This ability opens up a variety of strategies to face Sukuna, including the possibility of Yuta copying Gojo’s or even Sukuna’s techniques and using them against the Curse King himself.
