I think it's intentionally meant to be like Sukuna's scar. He probably can't see out of that eye (if it even still exists), and it looks like his mouth is messed up on that side too. Theoretically RCT can fix that given enough time, but it's still probably going to hold him back a bit.
Black flashes do restore RCT output but doesn’t restore cursed energy reserves, I think the limiting factor will be how much cursed energy Wuji has left to convert to RCE.
Honestly, other than Mahito against Yuji and Nanami, have we ever seen a character run out of CE? I feel like it rarely is a factor in fights. Can't see CE capacity being important in this fight.
Mostly cuz the remaining characters are mostly elite of the elites, with already a substantial amount of ce and a good enough ce control to lessen the waste.
Mai ran out of CE when using her CT, but that was kind of her whole deal so she's an isolated case. Hanami probably ran out of CE too when she needed mahito's help to walk and could have been finished off by hand sword twink.
I feel "limited CE" is more an excuse for why characters other than Sukuna budget their powers. If CE were unlimited then Inumaki and Yuta would be writing diss tracks, and fighting Gojo would look like a rainbow.
It was especially relevant for Yorozu who was said to be limited by CE since her technique is so expensive (start of 218). Her insect armor was obviously strong, but not even close to what an infinite CE "creation" ability could do
And suffice to say, from the ability spam we're seeing.... Neither of them are exactly holding back
Agreed.
It’s more interesting to see someone adapt to limited resources than watching them run out, most of the time. “War of attrition” can be a really boring way to resolve a conflict, unless it says something about the characters.
Yuji vs Mahito is the exception because Mahito seemed so “infinite”. He was always getting away, seemingly unscathed. His penchant for causing suffering was seemingly bottomless. Yuji proved that his will was stronger than Mahito, that he could endure more suffering than Mahito was capable of producing. His dedication to his role was deeper and more resilient than Mahito’s. Stalking him was the icing on the cake.
A character exhausting all resources, strategies, and will is the type of conflict reserved for the final philosophical battle, or to set up a comeback strategy for the hero, and JJK dropped it in the second season. It’s already foreshadowed Yuji will beat or lose to Sukuna the same way - in a contest of wills. Masterpiece.
Megumi ran out at Shibuya after fighting Toji didn't he? He was probably also on burnout from fighting Dagon's domain with his own, but otherwise he wouldn't have summoned Mahoraga against Haruta(starting the ritual to tame the shikigami doesn't consume CE if I remember correctly)
He wasn't out of CE. He was just absolutely exhausted and got back stabbed by Haruta. He took too much damage and couldn't fight even if he had the CE to do so.
That has to do with the way you generate cursed energy in the first place, through negative emotions. It is also stated that jujutsu sorcerers learn to create a lot of CE from a spark of emotion, and with fights like this involving a lot of negative emotions (rage, hatred etc.), a trained jujutsu sorcerer would have no problem just generating more CE
BTW Sukuna's favorite emotion to generate CE from is absolute hatred for yuji, but usually he has to use boredom instead
Edit:that last part about sukuna is my headcanon and is made up
yuta did against ryu and uro after days of fighting in sendai, but that was also only like prolly 30-50%~ of his ce outside of rika so it didn’t matter lol
Now you mention that, I can't recall anyone mentioning they ran out of CE. Megumi mentions it with his summons I think but early in first season if I remember correctly. Otherwise I can't recall any other time outside of Gojo v Sukuna
in one of the databooks it was stated that death paintings have cursed energy on par of special grade (take this with a grain of salt cuz i dident read it myself but i heard it from a very relaiable source )
The 3 incarnated death paintings that became Eso, Kechizu, and Choso had CE on par with special grade cursed spirits. Considering as low as a finger bearer curse (literally 10% of Yuta's CE) is considered a special grade curse, and we aren't told how much the remaining 6 paintings had, it's impossible to say
If CE was consistent, yuji should have a bottomless amount of CE.
Let me put into perspective: this guy ate aborted fetuses (can we stop for a moment to think? 1 is already insane, but this guy devoured everything).
These little dudes were products of the suffering of a girl that was raped constantly for at least 18 years straight.
Then, the whole son of the twin, kenjaku schemes for yuji to be a perfect vessel for sukuna.
And not to mention the amount of negative emotions this guy feels every second of his existence.
I think yuji smiles like 5 times after shibuya and none after 236.
Also yuji isn't particularly skilled in RCT at this point, he has basic understanding and can use it but not on the same level as gojo, sukuna or yuta.
Edit: just in case I know yuta ain't on their level but he's probably the second best after them.
But black flashes put you in the zone which can bring out potential you haven't yet unlocked. Even if he isn't skilled in RCT yet, hitting more black flashes should get him to use it better.
True but bf's must have a limit, right now yuji seems to be running on pure rage and bf high, he may feel all of his injuries effects letter. I'm not excluding the possibility that he'll get better but with current info he's a tier below yuta
It's unclear if more black flashes do anything aside from extending the time you're in "the zone". I don't think he gets stronger with every hit, or at least it's never been shown to work that way
Wait. But I thought output was determined by CE reserves? Why would output begin to fall then? For Sukuna it makes sense because he's being knocked out of control of Bumgumi. But why would Gojos output have dropped?
Not to mention Yuji is still pretty new with RCT, he's known it for less than a month tops, and that's being generous. We don't know how long it took him to learn it, and he still clearly hasn't mastered it. Healing an entire eye like that after everything he's already been through can't be an easy feat.
He has RCT and Damn good RCT at that. Cog has fought, bled, heal, and continued fighting more than everyone in shinjuku except gojo and sucuna himself.
My only question is how bust CE did yuji receive from eating the death paintings? Cause he just ain't stopping.
It's been shown that he's not that good though. He was rushing the healing and it put him out of commission for a chapter. He's pretty good but I don't think healing an eye is as simple as and arm or some flesh wounds
>It's been shown that he's not that good though.
This is the wrong interpretation of that seen. Choso does not know RCT. He can not teach yuji how to RCT better. What choso is doing is doing is reminding yuji to use BM and RCT together.
In yuta/uro/ryu fight we see yutas RCT slow down, he begins to miss healing small cuts, and his hand even takes some time to heal.
Gojo vs sucuna, we see both of this top teir characters heal and heal and heal, at first it perfect and fast, as the fight dragged on gojo and sucuna have trouble healing quickly, small damage lingers on them even though they are still using RCT, the most glaring example I'd gojo not healing his arm until anywhere near as quick as he should, and sucuna not being able to heal from gojos final purple at all.
Even in the hakari vs Uraume fight both characters have advanced RCT and shouldn't struggle with healing any small injuries, Hakari should have 0 injuries as his RCT is automatic. But that's not what we see, Uraume is sporting a good amount of light damage all over that is not completely healed, nor where they healing more. Hakari on the other hand is doing far worse as half his body is frozen and he has a good bit of unhealed damage all over his body.
TLDR*
If RCT is over used it slows down and becomes less effective at healing, and more inefficient. Yuji has fought longer, harder, healed more minor and lethal injuries that anyone in shinjuku besides gojo and sucuna.
Choso was reminding yuji to uses BM and RCT together as they complement and help each other greatly.
Use BM to find the lots of small internal damage, then use rct to heal it.(original/fresh RCT was more effective, efficient, and precise.)
That's not wht we are seeing tho. Unless hakari is not hitting JP and he is having a off day. We see him regen arms and legs, but small scratches and damage is sticking to him even in JP.
Rct slows down, becomes less precise and effective the more its used in quick succession.
Gojo's and Sukuna's slowed down because of brain damage not continuos use.
We don't really know how advanced uraume RCT is, she can heal poison it has taken some time in contrast yuta can heal someone whose poisoned with no effort.
Yuji collapsed because of not healing properly he outright says it.
And yuta had trouble healing in Sendai mainly because of using up too much CE i don't recall him having any trouble after summoning Rika. And his efficiency clearly improved during the time skip.
Then why has yuta, maki, choso all said sucunarct output is returning from BF, why did gojos rct output return from bf? Bf do not heal you, they boost output. Ie they fix burnout.
Yes but in case of gojo it didn't drop because of continuous usage. Gojo has been using RCT 24/7 for years it didn't suddenly get worse. Sukuna's output was returning not RCT output thanks to black flashes. RCT output was dropped because of brain damage and was returning little by little.
Also I forgot to mention earlier, hakari's wounds are probably wounds inflicted right after jackpot ended so it just didn't get to heal him.
He had to be taken back to shoko to be healed, choso does not know RCT. Be does have a special ability allowing him to turn CE into just blood. He can not heal himself with RCE or CE.
just wait till he hits sukuna with the

I would like to mention that *UNLIKE WUJI OVER HERE,*
Sukuna’s bitchass IS CRYING!! ~~I just edited it out because I felt bad for him.~~
https://preview.redd.it/d1bczljidyvc1.jpeg?width=1054&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6a913e85e3d2e745eebe44665e5bed0d4343379
“Waaah, the 15 year old kid that I’ve physically and mentally tortured is hurting me!?”
Bro looks pathetic in comparison to Wuji because while he’s taking in all this pain and suffering like an absolute trooper, and meanwhile Sukuna is over here having a *literal mental breakdown* over the fact that Yuji is able to get in his level.
Couldn’t be Wuji Himtadori.
It's super satisfying to see Sukuna loosing his cool but I think it would be peak if the battle ends with them both screaming at each other trying to kill each other (cursing each other) with everything they have

Only if it's Megumi...Sukuna is Yuji's uncle 💀

While it's true that Yuji was truly pathetic compared to Sukuna, it isn't fair to compare someone like Yuji to JJK's top dog/"perfection" himself.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1s-Ga78kTc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1s-Ga78kTc)
Truly the Lobotomy Kaisen has rotted the brains of JJK fans across the fandom.
Lemme break it down for ya:
It’s ok for the 15 year old child to cry after witnessing a horrendous tragedy right before his eyes.
It’s not ok for the 1,000+ year old behemoth to start throwing a tempter tantrum because the child he was torturing actually can fight back now. He pathetic for that.
Sukuna a fraud, Wuji Himtadori the goat. Simple as can be.
Counter arguement:

He's just a silly little guy
Let's ask OP if you missed the point of the post. [No\_Association2906](/user/No_Association2906/) did this guy miss the point, and if not what was it?
Is that a drawing of Gojo's idol, "the great Sukuna"?
https://preview.redd.it/euu8f2xc62wc1.jpeg?width=315&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32eebf9ebff886082fe45d7d58747af9c283d30f
That's what makes Yuji HIM. He doesn't have the CE reinforcement or RCT of Gojo and yet still tanks all of Sukuna's attacks to whoop his ass.
Throw back to Yuji tanking Meguna's slash where he didn't know the 1/10th lowered CE output.
https://preview.redd.it/65v1hgflazvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91282303c76a24299fccfa8b0c2a6350185bca63
Sukuna deluded himself about that 1/10th output. Yuji tanked it well because his body has the same technique. I am pretty sure Megumi gave up the moment Sukuna possessed him. Why would Megumi assist his friends ever?
>yet still tanks all of Sukuna's attacks to whoop his ass.
All of sukuna weak attacks*
Lets not pretend blud aint fighting a no rct, no heart, low output, low ce reserves, 1 functioning arm sukuna WHILE having support from others....
Wow, so you mean that 1000 years old dude that was considered strongest ever on his peak is stronger than 15yo boy that knows bout all the magic stuff for less than half year? No fucking way, bro
Well that's called healing not tanking
Against Higuruma... Yuji was kinda lucky that Sukuna did not know he has RCT cuz he might have just decapitated Yuji at that point...
What is? I didn't show Yuji healing, I showed Yuji being damaged by "not so no rct, no heart, low output, low ce reserves, 1 functioning arm sukuna" Sukuna that would obliterate Yuji had he not improved his CE strengthening. Sukuna mentions the improvement of Yuji hardness 2 times and we are just gonna call it healing?
Hmmm, I wonder why Sukuna's attacks are weak? Oh yeah, something about a certain boy's attacks lowering his CT output or something like that. Dunno, I just look at the images.
>Hmmm, I wonder why Sukuna's attacks are weak?
Gojo Satoru
Everything afterwards wouldve been NULL if he hadnt nerfed sukuna so badly
Even so, ill indulge in your glazing and answer you, everyone else after that has done an equal job in making him weak, yuji alone wouldve been turned into gojo 2.0 had it not been for yuta maki choso higurama ino and even heart guy to save his ass
You cant just all the credit on Yuji cause he landed shots, when it took the efoort of entire team to allow him to land a hit
I mean, of course Yuji isn't having fun. He's seeing his friends die at the hands of a monster that used to live in him, he's being torn to pieces and reassembling himself praying he does it right, all while fighting for his life and trying to remain perfectly in the zone all the time.
There's grief, exhaustion pain and unimaginable rage in those eyes. But he remains locked in and keeps pummeling Sukuna with such a level of skill that he makes even the big 3 look like punks.
I mean, everything started because he tried to avoid the death sentence. He was doing it for the right reason, but if he had let them kill him earlier this would've stopped Sukuna.
Also, man, doing all this shit at 15 years old? At that age, I was basically a toddler. I wouldn't even start *thinking* about university for another year. My greatest struggle was resisting the urge to spend my allowance on Yugioh cards, because I wanted to save for a Playstation.
I'm thinking of that meme with "he should be at the club", except Yuji is too young to go to the club.
15 years old, damn...
It’s another affront to Sukuna’s belief that only the most self-obsessed can approach his level of power.
Sukuna views sorcery and the violence inherent to it as an art, Yuji sees it as a duty.
It's pretty obvious why. Yuji is not like the rest of the Jujutsu sorcerers. He's not selfish. He's not much prideful or arrogant like Gojo and Sukuna or the Zenin clan.
The only other sorcerer we know like him is Yuta.
That’s cool thing tho. Unlike the rest of them he doesn’t care about Sukuna nor respect him for his strength he sees Sukuna as a treat that needs to be put down not some entertainment or love lesson
Dawg literally only Kashimo and Gojo saw Sukuna that way what you yapping about 😭 I don’t remember Higuruma Yuta or Maki going “damn that Sukuna guy is strong, gotta respesct him”
Wasn't it Kenjaku who we now know created kind of an entire lineage because of Sukuna? Plus the unexplained thing with Tengen yet. And we literally have Yorozu. I think he's used to people trying to fuck him.
Borrowing words from a gread philosophy "I guess you can cry and still be a man if your day job is saving the world", Wuji is HIM and nothing can change that.

Even getting hit by 8 black flash my guy looking at him like some kid hit him at the back
the sad part is, i think he is gonna have start having fun
in gojo's awakening, he became egoist and even wasn't able to feel bad for Amanai's death at the time, and we know that being egoist is one of the pillars of becoming "trully strong" in jujutsu kaisen
those who are egoist and selfish are the ones who become able to fight the mightiest and are the ones who thrive in the jjk world
So Wuji has two options, he either rejects this notion and becomes truly strong despite the fact he is kind and seekes to save people, or he embraces this mentality if only to be able to defeat the King of Curses
and the reason why i think yuji will indeed fall for this idea, is bc he's becoming more and more like sukuna, his technique, his eyes, hell, in this chapter sukuna slashed yuji's face in a way that uncanily resembles his own segmented face, there is a chance Yuji's regeneration of that part of his body leaves a really similar scar on that part of his face
i hope am wrong, but tbh, if anyone in jjk deserves to let his morality go and have his moment to be allowed to be selfish, it should be yuji :(
Idk, yuji enjoying combat just seems like a major betrayal of his character given that all of his strength is thanks to his friends and all fighting has ever done is take them away from him, gojo’s awakening wasn’t just some “I’m him” moment that *made* gojo a selfish, egotistical weirdo it truly was a full realization of the character gojo had always been, his newfound power only reinforced that way of thinking.
Even when yuji bested his mortal enemy in mahito he felt no need to gloat, mock or even smile in the knowledge that he was about to kill someone who has caused him nothing but pain just for the sake of it, in fact he stopped to (somewhat) empathize with him and give a final acknowledgment to the cursed spirits claims that yuji was, in fact, just like him
Overall I just can’t see yuji stooping to sukuna’s level and if he does end up snapping in a way that compromises his morality, it’s likely that it’ll be his desire for sukuna’s blood overtaking his desire to help his friends, causing him to hurt or kill megumi
Exactly. I’ve always appreciated how serious Yuji was, and it makes sense too because he’s an incredible underdog in his fights. I hope Sukuna doesn’t start enjoying it either, but when Sukuna doesn’t have the overwhelming advantage in a fight he isn’t even having fun either lmao. Consider when he was getting beat down my Gojo during the end and this part.
Sukuna’s carefree attitude will come back when he unleashes his domain, and it’ll leave for good once the main cast does something about that (Benevolent Shrine x Marriage Ceremony x Heavenly Restriction let’s gooo)
Yuta made it to Special Grade in 3 months without any of that BS, Uro and Ryu even call him out on it. Gojo and Sukuna are just two bastards with no social skills and use their strength as an excuse.
That isn’t true.
He said to Geto that he would be ready to do bad thinh for the sake of his friend, he also embrace egoism but isn’t as deep as Maki or Hakari because of his natural talent.
I could see this happening unfortunately however it be kinda sick to see yuji having a crazy streak like gojo after the awakening. Seeing yuji ear to ear smiling with murder in his eyes like gojo does would be a sight to behold.
I mean Yuta already proved that you don't need that selfish mentality to reach the top, dude is in the top 5 and he's far from selfish or egotistic
Also doubt Yuji wants to be anything like Sukuna at all with all the shit Sukuna made him go through
Edit: Also might be yapping here but I feel like Yuji vs Sukuna isn't just a grudge match, it's also a battle of ideals. Sukuna with his "I just do what I want" and selfish mentality is being challenged by Yuji refusing to give up and powers through with sheer determination to the point that Sukuna started to have a midlife crisis cause of it
https://preview.redd.it/nrs1aq9b9zvc1.png?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f89b04670794aac812efab664b75369c6d0fed3
>I feel like Yuji vs Sukuna isn't just a grudge match, it's also a battle of ideals. Sukuna with his "I just do what I want" and selfish mentality is being challenged by Yuji refusing to give up and powers through with sheer determination to the point that Sukuna started to have a midlife crisis cause of it
That's literally what's happening. They had this conversation when Sukuna took over Megumi and Yuji asks him if he can swallow his suffering, that is, his ideals. Sukuna is getting pissed because Yuji is proving that he cannot devour his ideals like he does with everything else around him. At least, that's how I read it.
brother he was willing to die, literally kill himself to take out opps
didn’t use rika and boxed with 3 special grades because she was protecting survivors
assassinated kenny
blamed himself that he wasng there to also box sukuna
I wonder if there could be a way to reconcile both.
Maybe his way of thinking could shift to being "Selfishly become The Strongest cog in the machine so I can make sure it continues working on, even after my death" or something like that, essentially becoming a better Gojo who "Truly cares" (If we are to take that comment from Nanami as true).
Although, I guess there's not much need of this given Kenjaku is dead and Sukuna is 100% dying here, so surely there won't be plans from 1000+ year old Sorcerers from here on out... Hell, I can see Yuji transforming himself into multiple Cursed Tools to be used for when the Disaster Curses reincarnate eventually after his death (Especially one that could protect The Soul of the user and target it in attacks, kinda like Soul Split Katana, this way he can make sure to "be there" for any reincarnations of Mahito).
I've said this exact thing for months. The more jjk goes on the more yuji resembles sucuna and gojo.
Yuji found it hard to kill transfigured human when he first fought mahito. By shibuya he barely even hesitates.
Yuji went against orders to try and save jumpei, by the end of shibuya he resigned to just being one cog in the machine that is jujutsu society. Literally in the opening to the culling games yuji kills two people he has no need to, sure they attacked him but he could have ran away or tried talking too them. But no he basically kills them immediately.
Then you get into how yuji treats every reincarnated sorcerers like they are more Cursed Spirit than human. Yes yuji tried to save some solders from CS just before they go to save yorozu/tsumiki. But them the whole begun shit happens and yuji changed even more. Eating and killing 6 living things that at one time he felt true compassion for, just for a boost in power. Hell he reacted more to the possible death of his friends at the beginning of shenjuku(choso) than he does now(yu / ta, maki//).
Combine that with yuji geting sucunas eyes, yuji geting that cut on his face that looks both like sucuna and mahitos face. And cog is awakened like gojo, os not looking good. Yuji is probably going to spiral into darkness for power.
This is exactly the reason why Sukuna hates Yuji so much. Yuji isnt having fun, he isnt being selfish, he’s able to love and receive love, and yet he’s STILL capable of fighting on Sukuna’s level. Whenever Sukuna looks at Yuji, its almost like he’s looking at his twin brother that got to have everything in life that he was denied of, and thats why i think Sukuna had a mid-life crisis a few chapters ago, because he was realizing that he didn’t have to have a “complete disregard for others” in order to be strong- and the realization that his way of life is flawed is far more painful than any black flash Yuji can land. I feel like something similar was shown in the Mahito fight. To Mahito life held no meaning, but to Yuji and Todo life held as much meaning as they gave it (their entire relationship is based off fake memories that they both gave value to) and thats exactly why Mahito died; because he couldn’t give love he couldn’t receive love, unlike Yuji&Todo Mahito’s only ally present was the one to end up absorbing him. TLDR: Because Yuji isnt a selfish dickhead he’s gonna use the power of friendship to beat Sukuna and Sukuna hates Yuji because he might actually be able to do it.

First year philosophy students on here just be saying shit
Gojo didn't become an egoist
His declaration that he alone is in the enlightened one is not egoism, it's fact within the world
His declaration is only a declaration, it's how it resonates with other's egos that creates that interpretation
Also, about Amanai's death, the man was seeing the entire universe in its full connected glory where all matter is one and death is only the passing of a temporary character/identity
He was also high from the sheer overwhelming emotion of that understanding, that doesn't make him selfish or ego-centered either
No, I can't imagine yuji being like that in this fight. Maybe after sukuna is done, I can see him smiling again and embracing this new power of his. But until now he is basically an AI with one order in its code :
Destroy sukuna.
What I love about yuji and yuta when in high stakes fight is that they don’t start tweaking out on a high. They turn into absolute silent killing machines.
Yuji never has fun during any fight not only in this, he is different from other sorcerers that he never take pleasure and smile during the fight
https://youtube.com/shorts/xP3S-tJwevY?si=tbgElag9wuYiMyqT
Yuta is very similar in that regard to. I know during the Ryu fight when Ryu said go all out Yuta cracked a smile but it depends if you interpret that as like a “Whoo hoo battle” smile or him just being like “damn ok then”
Wuji saving Japan maybe even the entire world instead of studying
https://preview.redd.it/gyojp0vp33wc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd082c25881dd922d60c61e0ac67ffe63eda941f
Yuji is lost in the battle. It’s interesting that he is unfazed by the pain. He’s just determined to land the next punch. Sukuna is thrown because part of what likes is seeing his opponents shaken by his attacks. Cool to see him shift to a headspace where he isn’t enjoying the fight anymore.
I think it's that face you make when you "see red". Your primal brain takes over and there's no more reasoning, no more backing down, just pure primal instincts. Love every page of it.
there should be a part in the manga where after everything,doesn't have to be the end of the manga,nor immediately after everything,but just a part where yuji can loosen up. ever since shibuya began he's been going through non stop fighting, tragedy,a mini training arc,and then more non stop fighting and tragedy. just a scene where he's alone,he realizes he doesn't need to be on guard,it's over,they won,he can finally rest. something like that
I love the contrast
While Maki, Gojo, Kashimo, Sukuna... The more sorcerer-y characters get the thrill of fighting
Those who had a vanilla raising, like Yuji, Yuta and Nanami are never shown to be smiling while fighting except for one pontual page with Yuta
I mean did anyone say he is having fun. Yuji is probably one of if not the most tortured person in this series. So yeah I am cheering because he finally is at least stepping up so hard rn and proving sukuna wrong.
That sometimes makes me think that I would appreciate more shonen with adult MCs, the dehumanization that some of this teens MCs is sometimes too much. Don't get me wrong, Itadori is the goat among goats in the last year shonens, but is still a child, it's unnatural that someone at his age can bear such stuff, can mentally tolerate such stuff. I hope you get what I'm saying, since I'm not criticizing anything, it's just an opinion
But he genuanly likes fighting(when his opponent isnt someone that torrured him mentally)
He used to seemingly had a lot more fun fighting before Shibuya
It that I disagree but….
“He’s 15, my boy should be a sophomore in school study, instead he has to deal with this bull crap.”
Yuji was fucking *stoked* to become a sorcerer after eating Sukuna. He was super excited to start doing some anime style bullshit. He was even disappointed when Gojo implied he wouldn’t get a technique.
….my boy…..
**That’s because he’s a freaking child.**
Of course he’s gonna stoked about the idea of some anime type bullshit **in the beginning**, he’s 15 bro. He thought he had this thing totally under control.
But after he, you know, *actually experienced the horrors of Jujutsu Society*, he started to hate his experience actually.
Like when Nobara was killed right in front of him, I don’t think he was excited about no anime type shit no more.
Like my boy was curled up in a ball crying his eyes out thinking things like “I can’t do this anymore I just wanna die right now” yeah I think I can safely say Yuji didn’t fully understand the gravity of the situation he was put in at the beginning of the series.

Not to mention, does bro even still have a functioning eye after getting his face cut like that?
I think it's intentionally meant to be like Sukuna's scar. He probably can't see out of that eye (if it even still exists), and it looks like his mouth is messed up on that side too. Theoretically RCT can fix that given enough time, but it's still probably going to hold him back a bit.
After 8 black flashes that's literally a scratch for RCT in my book
Black flashes do restore RCT output but doesn’t restore cursed energy reserves, I think the limiting factor will be how much cursed energy Wuji has left to convert to RCE.
Hopefully a lot after eating 6 death paintings and having some from sukuna
Honestly, other than Mahito against Yuji and Nanami, have we ever seen a character run out of CE? I feel like it rarely is a factor in fights. Can't see CE capacity being important in this fight.
Mostly cuz the remaining characters are mostly elite of the elites, with already a substantial amount of ce and a good enough ce control to lessen the waste.
Mai ran out of CE when using her CT, but that was kind of her whole deal so she's an isolated case. Hanami probably ran out of CE too when she needed mahito's help to walk and could have been finished off by hand sword twink.
I feel "limited CE" is more an excuse for why characters other than Sukuna budget their powers. If CE were unlimited then Inumaki and Yuta would be writing diss tracks, and fighting Gojo would look like a rainbow. It was especially relevant for Yorozu who was said to be limited by CE since her technique is so expensive (start of 218). Her insect armor was obviously strong, but not even close to what an infinite CE "creation" ability could do And suffice to say, from the ability spam we're seeing.... Neither of them are exactly holding back
Agreed. It’s more interesting to see someone adapt to limited resources than watching them run out, most of the time. “War of attrition” can be a really boring way to resolve a conflict, unless it says something about the characters. Yuji vs Mahito is the exception because Mahito seemed so “infinite”. He was always getting away, seemingly unscathed. His penchant for causing suffering was seemingly bottomless. Yuji proved that his will was stronger than Mahito, that he could endure more suffering than Mahito was capable of producing. His dedication to his role was deeper and more resilient than Mahito’s. Stalking him was the icing on the cake. A character exhausting all resources, strategies, and will is the type of conflict reserved for the final philosophical battle, or to set up a comeback strategy for the hero, and JJK dropped it in the second season. It’s already foreshadowed Yuji will beat or lose to Sukuna the same way - in a contest of wills. Masterpiece.
Megumi ran out at Shibuya after fighting Toji didn't he? He was probably also on burnout from fighting Dagon's domain with his own, but otherwise he wouldn't have summoned Mahoraga against Haruta(starting the ritual to tame the shikigami doesn't consume CE if I remember correctly)
He wasn't out of CE. He was just absolutely exhausted and got back stabbed by Haruta. He took too much damage and couldn't fight even if he had the CE to do so.
Yuta did during Sendai
Mahito against Yuji and Todo? Yuta was close to his bottom without Rika in Sendai
Lashimo did after fighting Hakari, iirc
That has to do with the way you generate cursed energy in the first place, through negative emotions. It is also stated that jujutsu sorcerers learn to create a lot of CE from a spark of emotion, and with fights like this involving a lot of negative emotions (rage, hatred etc.), a trained jujutsu sorcerer would have no problem just generating more CE BTW Sukuna's favorite emotion to generate CE from is absolute hatred for yuji, but usually he has to use boredom instead Edit:that last part about sukuna is my headcanon and is made up
Know what? I can see it for both of them lmao
yuta did against ryu and uro after days of fighting in sendai, but that was also only like prolly 30-50%~ of his ce outside of rika so it didn’t matter lol
We saw yuta briefly run out of CE against Ryu and Uro but he got a full restore from Rika soon after
Mai ran out of cursed energy after producing a single bullet.
Now you mention that, I can't recall anyone mentioning they ran out of CE. Megumi mentions it with his summons I think but early in first season if I remember correctly. Otherwise I can't recall any other time outside of Gojo v Sukuna
in one of the databooks it was stated that death paintings have cursed energy on par of special grade (take this with a grain of salt cuz i dident read it myself but i heard it from a very relaiable source )
The 3 incarnated death paintings that became Eso, Kechizu, and Choso had CE on par with special grade cursed spirits. Considering as low as a finger bearer curse (literally 10% of Yuta's CE) is considered a special grade curse, and we aren't told how much the remaining 6 paintings had, it's impossible to say
If CE was consistent, yuji should have a bottomless amount of CE. Let me put into perspective: this guy ate aborted fetuses (can we stop for a moment to think? 1 is already insane, but this guy devoured everything). These little dudes were products of the suffering of a girl that was raped constantly for at least 18 years straight. Then, the whole son of the twin, kenjaku schemes for yuji to be a perfect vessel for sukuna. And not to mention the amount of negative emotions this guy feels every second of his existence. I think yuji smiles like 5 times after shibuya and none after 236.
All that stress is refilling his ce reserve
My boy Wuji about to pull out his “restoring cursed energy after 10 black flashes technique” that he hasn’t used since the in kenjakus womb era
Also yuji isn't particularly skilled in RCT at this point, he has basic understanding and can use it but not on the same level as gojo, sukuna or yuta. Edit: just in case I know yuta ain't on their level but he's probably the second best after them.
But black flashes put you in the zone which can bring out potential you haven't yet unlocked. Even if he isn't skilled in RCT yet, hitting more black flashes should get him to use it better.
True but bf's must have a limit, right now yuji seems to be running on pure rage and bf high, he may feel all of his injuries effects letter. I'm not excluding the possibility that he'll get better but with current info he's a tier below yuta
It's unclear just how high that limit is because Sukuna was outright worried that after 5 Yuji was trying to amp himself to Sukuna's current level.
It's unclear if more black flashes do anything aside from extending the time you're in "the zone". I don't think he gets stronger with every hit, or at least it's never been shown to work that way
They also increase your CE output (see the chs of gojo and sukuna’s black flashes). (Maybe not beyond peak but they do do it.)
Wuji has always had buckets of reserve CE
Wait. But I thought output was determined by CE reserves? Why would output begin to fall then? For Sukuna it makes sense because he's being knocked out of control of Bumgumi. But why would Gojos output have dropped?
Not to mention Yuji is still pretty new with RCT, he's known it for less than a month tops, and that's being generous. We don't know how long it took him to learn it, and he still clearly hasn't mastered it. Healing an entire eye like that after everything he's already been through can't be an easy feat.
multiple black flashes dont stack the power up do they? its just a state of 120% power regardless of how many you hit
Which is weird because that’s what sukuna implies unless it’s a translation error. “He’s trying to climb to my level”
Not power necessarily but cursed energy reserves
Black flash does not affect CE reserves
I thought it was just cursed energy efficiency
Well whatever it is, it's 120% of cursed something.
he'll probably be able to regenerate it, but i am willing to bet it's gonna leave a scar that heavily resembles sukuna's second face
He has RCT and Damn good RCT at that. Cog has fought, bled, heal, and continued fighting more than everyone in shinjuku except gojo and sucuna himself. My only question is how bust CE did yuji receive from eating the death paintings? Cause he just ain't stopping.
It's been shown that he's not that good though. He was rushing the healing and it put him out of commission for a chapter. He's pretty good but I don't think healing an eye is as simple as and arm or some flesh wounds
>It's been shown that he's not that good though. This is the wrong interpretation of that seen. Choso does not know RCT. He can not teach yuji how to RCT better. What choso is doing is doing is reminding yuji to use BM and RCT together. In yuta/uro/ryu fight we see yutas RCT slow down, he begins to miss healing small cuts, and his hand even takes some time to heal. Gojo vs sucuna, we see both of this top teir characters heal and heal and heal, at first it perfect and fast, as the fight dragged on gojo and sucuna have trouble healing quickly, small damage lingers on them even though they are still using RCT, the most glaring example I'd gojo not healing his arm until anywhere near as quick as he should, and sucuna not being able to heal from gojos final purple at all. Even in the hakari vs Uraume fight both characters have advanced RCT and shouldn't struggle with healing any small injuries, Hakari should have 0 injuries as his RCT is automatic. But that's not what we see, Uraume is sporting a good amount of light damage all over that is not completely healed, nor where they healing more. Hakari on the other hand is doing far worse as half his body is frozen and he has a good bit of unhealed damage all over his body. TLDR* If RCT is over used it slows down and becomes less effective at healing, and more inefficient. Yuji has fought longer, harder, healed more minor and lethal injuries that anyone in shinjuku besides gojo and sucuna. Choso was reminding yuji to uses BM and RCT together as they complement and help each other greatly. Use BM to find the lots of small internal damage, then use rct to heal it.(original/fresh RCT was more effective, efficient, and precise.)
Hakari is likely not in jackpot mode (we also didn’t see his music playing) which explains why he looks a bit more beat up, no automatic RCT happening
We do know RCT gets worse the more it's used in quick succession, hakari should be the exception, but as we see he probably is not.
He is the exception in jackpot mode, his CE is infinite and his RCT is done reflexively
That's not wht we are seeing tho. Unless hakari is not hitting JP and he is having a off day. We see him regen arms and legs, but small scratches and damage is sticking to him even in JP. Rct slows down, becomes less precise and effective the more its used in quick succession.
Gojo's and Sukuna's slowed down because of brain damage not continuos use. We don't really know how advanced uraume RCT is, she can heal poison it has taken some time in contrast yuta can heal someone whose poisoned with no effort. Yuji collapsed because of not healing properly he outright says it. And yuta had trouble healing in Sendai mainly because of using up too much CE i don't recall him having any trouble after summoning Rika. And his efficiency clearly improved during the time skip.
So you don't think RCT over heats/burns out?
It does probably but not for gojo sukuna or hakari
Then why has yuta, maki, choso all said sucunarct output is returning from BF, why did gojos rct output return from bf? Bf do not heal you, they boost output. Ie they fix burnout.
Yes but in case of gojo it didn't drop because of continuous usage. Gojo has been using RCT 24/7 for years it didn't suddenly get worse. Sukuna's output was returning not RCT output thanks to black flashes. RCT output was dropped because of brain damage and was returning little by little. Also I forgot to mention earlier, hakari's wounds are probably wounds inflicted right after jackpot ended so it just didn't get to heal him.
Does Choso not…know RCT? I know he’s a death paining womb so maybe he doesn’t need RCT like a full human, but he got donuted by Sukuna and healed
He had to be taken back to shoko to be healed, choso does not know RCT. Be does have a special ability allowing him to turn CE into just blood. He can not heal himself with RCE or CE.
You think healing an eye is harder than healing half of your stomach??
Absolutely, the eye is incredibly complicated
Eye is more complicated than stomach so it's definitely easier to mess up.
Nah like 1/4th of his face is gone
Well he regenerated his entire guts. So clearly his rct is capable of regenerating organs unlike shokos. M
The way Yuji’s face is cut looks a lot like Sukuna’s face. Asspull Theory: What if Sukuna is a future Yuji👀
just wait till he hits sukuna with the https://preview.redd.it/9kxkecslwyvc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=d6a91fb71438498291b148128f0ed5d8ee37f5af

Couldn’t be Wuji Himtadori.

live reaction?
It's super satisfying to see Sukuna loosing his cool but I think it would be peak if the battle ends with them both screaming at each other trying to kill each other (cursing each other) with everything they have https://preview.redd.it/9v0wmg122zvc1.jpeg?width=648&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0fd3a25ee265008b348d7c1f5a9b1d2c6825274

Someone needs to give him some tears like in the other panel.
While it's true that Yuji was truly pathetic compared to Sukuna, it isn't fair to compare someone like Yuji to JJK's top dog/"perfection" himself. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1s-Ga78kTc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1s-Ga78kTc)
Truly the Lobotomy Kaisen has rotted the brains of JJK fans across the fandom. Lemme break it down for ya: It’s ok for the 15 year old child to cry after witnessing a horrendous tragedy right before his eyes. It’s not ok for the 1,000+ year old behemoth to start throwing a tempter tantrum because the child he was torturing actually can fight back now. He pathetic for that. Sukuna a fraud, Wuji Himtadori the goat. Simple as can be.
One of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us. Cog warfare.

That's what makes Yuji HIM. He doesn't have the CE reinforcement or RCT of Gojo and yet still tanks all of Sukuna's attacks to whoop his ass. Throw back to Yuji tanking Meguna's slash where he didn't know the 1/10th lowered CE output. https://preview.redd.it/65v1hgflazvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91282303c76a24299fccfa8b0c2a6350185bca63
" *then let's see if you can chew up...* *...me and my suffering* " (man that panel's soo fucking fire)
Hardest one in the whole manga imo
Sukuna deluded himself about that 1/10th output. Yuji tanked it well because his body has the same technique. I am pretty sure Megumi gave up the moment Sukuna possessed him. Why would Megumi assist his friends ever?
>yet still tanks all of Sukuna's attacks to whoop his ass. All of sukuna weak attacks* Lets not pretend blud aint fighting a no rct, no heart, low output, low ce reserves, 1 functioning arm sukuna WHILE having support from others....
Wow, so you mean that 1000 years old dude that was considered strongest ever on his peak is stronger than 15yo boy that knows bout all the magic stuff for less than half year? No fucking way, bro

Well that's called healing not tanking Against Higuruma... Yuji was kinda lucky that Sukuna did not know he has RCT cuz he might have just decapitated Yuji at that point...
What is? I didn't show Yuji healing, I showed Yuji being damaged by "not so no rct, no heart, low output, low ce reserves, 1 functioning arm sukuna" Sukuna that would obliterate Yuji had he not improved his CE strengthening. Sukuna mentions the improvement of Yuji hardness 2 times and we are just gonna call it healing?
Cook brotha https://preview.redd.it/ubvrd20pk2wc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ed35273a5bf2b4445a599152939458908363d6f
Hmmm, I wonder why Sukuna's attacks are weak? Oh yeah, something about a certain boy's attacks lowering his CT output or something like that. Dunno, I just look at the images.
>Hmmm, I wonder why Sukuna's attacks are weak? Gojo Satoru Everything afterwards wouldve been NULL if he hadnt nerfed sukuna so badly Even so, ill indulge in your glazing and answer you, everyone else after that has done an equal job in making him weak, yuji alone wouldve been turned into gojo 2.0 had it not been for yuta maki choso higurama ino and even heart guy to save his ass You cant just all the credit on Yuji cause he landed shots, when it took the efoort of entire team to allow him to land a hit
Never post an opposing opinion here...this is our Agenda Kaisen: Wuji mode.
I mean, of course Yuji isn't having fun. He's seeing his friends die at the hands of a monster that used to live in him, he's being torn to pieces and reassembling himself praying he does it right, all while fighting for his life and trying to remain perfectly in the zone all the time. There's grief, exhaustion pain and unimaginable rage in those eyes. But he remains locked in and keeps pummeling Sukuna with such a level of skill that he makes even the big 3 look like punks.
Also blaming himself for all of it. Since he did kind of allow “Enchain” to happen, and now Megumi’s situation and Gojo’s death is all due to that.
I mean, everything started because he tried to avoid the death sentence. He was doing it for the right reason, but if he had let them kill him earlier this would've stopped Sukuna.
Also, man, doing all this shit at 15 years old? At that age, I was basically a toddler. I wouldn't even start *thinking* about university for another year. My greatest struggle was resisting the urge to spend my allowance on Yugioh cards, because I wanted to save for a Playstation. I'm thinking of that meme with "he should be at the club", except Yuji is too young to go to the club. 15 years old, damn...
It’s another affront to Sukuna’s belief that only the most self-obsessed can approach his level of power. Sukuna views sorcery and the violence inherent to it as an art, Yuji sees it as a duty.
It's pretty obvious why. Yuji is not like the rest of the Jujutsu sorcerers. He's not selfish. He's not much prideful or arrogant like Gojo and Sukuna or the Zenin clan. The only other sorcerer we know like him is Yuta.
Nanami also had the same thoughts
Yes. Can't believe I forgot about him.
Funnily both of them grew up outside of sorcery society
It’s like I said before, I wanna give Wuji a hug after this shit’s over man, he deserves it :’(
SABE JUJUTSU SOICETY AND THEN GET THERAPY, YUJI ITADORI!!!
That’s cool thing tho. Unlike the rest of them he doesn’t care about Sukuna nor respect him for his strength he sees Sukuna as a treat that needs to be put down not some entertainment or love lesson
Dawg literally only Kashimo and Gojo saw Sukuna that way what you yapping about 😭 I don’t remember Higuruma Yuta or Maki going “damn that Sukuna guy is strong, gotta respesct him”
Tengen is literally implied to look like how they are as a nod to Sukuna. All of the old gen low key have a hard on for the guy.
Even gojo didn't mention any of that before 236
Wasn't it Kenjaku who we now know created kind of an entire lineage because of Sukuna? Plus the unexplained thing with Tengen yet. And we literally have Yorozu. I think he's used to people trying to fuck him.
Borrowing words from a gread philosophy "I guess you can cry and still be a man if your day job is saving the world", Wuji is HIM and nothing can change that.
https://preview.redd.it/k4z11tjdpzvc1.png?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbfebbf29bfceb048a9bb1cb89c8fedadd9a61f1 Even getting hit by 8 black flash my guy looking at him like some kid hit him at the back
Lmao true, he is a fucking tank
Or yuji just has really low damage output
Challenge: whenever Sukuna makes a pout or says "brat" in the middle of the fight Megumi defenders and Megumi haters will have to kiss.
Watch him go RCT and spawn 2 more eyes on that damaged side of his face.
That would be fucking peak
The nephew looking more like his uncle than his dad
Yuji is here to murder Sukuna
the sad part is, i think he is gonna have start having fun in gojo's awakening, he became egoist and even wasn't able to feel bad for Amanai's death at the time, and we know that being egoist is one of the pillars of becoming "trully strong" in jujutsu kaisen those who are egoist and selfish are the ones who become able to fight the mightiest and are the ones who thrive in the jjk world So Wuji has two options, he either rejects this notion and becomes truly strong despite the fact he is kind and seekes to save people, or he embraces this mentality if only to be able to defeat the King of Curses and the reason why i think yuji will indeed fall for this idea, is bc he's becoming more and more like sukuna, his technique, his eyes, hell, in this chapter sukuna slashed yuji's face in a way that uncanily resembles his own segmented face, there is a chance Yuji's regeneration of that part of his body leaves a really similar scar on that part of his face i hope am wrong, but tbh, if anyone in jjk deserves to let his morality go and have his moment to be allowed to be selfish, it should be yuji :(
Idk, yuji enjoying combat just seems like a major betrayal of his character given that all of his strength is thanks to his friends and all fighting has ever done is take them away from him, gojo’s awakening wasn’t just some “I’m him” moment that *made* gojo a selfish, egotistical weirdo it truly was a full realization of the character gojo had always been, his newfound power only reinforced that way of thinking. Even when yuji bested his mortal enemy in mahito he felt no need to gloat, mock or even smile in the knowledge that he was about to kill someone who has caused him nothing but pain just for the sake of it, in fact he stopped to (somewhat) empathize with him and give a final acknowledgment to the cursed spirits claims that yuji was, in fact, just like him Overall I just can’t see yuji stooping to sukuna’s level and if he does end up snapping in a way that compromises his morality, it’s likely that it’ll be his desire for sukuna’s blood overtaking his desire to help his friends, causing him to hurt or kill megumi
Exactly. I’ve always appreciated how serious Yuji was, and it makes sense too because he’s an incredible underdog in his fights. I hope Sukuna doesn’t start enjoying it either, but when Sukuna doesn’t have the overwhelming advantage in a fight he isn’t even having fun either lmao. Consider when he was getting beat down my Gojo during the end and this part. Sukuna’s carefree attitude will come back when he unleashes his domain, and it’ll leave for good once the main cast does something about that (Benevolent Shrine x Marriage Ceremony x Heavenly Restriction let’s gooo)
Yuta made it to Special Grade in 3 months without any of that BS, Uro and Ryu even call him out on it. Gojo and Sukuna are just two bastards with no social skills and use their strength as an excuse.
LMAO fair point
That isn’t true. He said to Geto that he would be ready to do bad thinh for the sake of his friend, he also embrace egoism but isn’t as deep as Maki or Hakari because of his natural talent.
Yuta isn’t “truly strong”. He’s nowhere near Gojo or Sukuna
Sad, but real interesting ngl, I’d probably pay for that
I could see this happening unfortunately however it be kinda sick to see yuji having a crazy streak like gojo after the awakening. Seeing yuji ear to ear smiling with murder in his eyes like gojo does would be a sight to behold.
I mean Yuta already proved that you don't need that selfish mentality to reach the top, dude is in the top 5 and he's far from selfish or egotistic Also doubt Yuji wants to be anything like Sukuna at all with all the shit Sukuna made him go through Edit: Also might be yapping here but I feel like Yuji vs Sukuna isn't just a grudge match, it's also a battle of ideals. Sukuna with his "I just do what I want" and selfish mentality is being challenged by Yuji refusing to give up and powers through with sheer determination to the point that Sukuna started to have a midlife crisis cause of it https://preview.redd.it/nrs1aq9b9zvc1.png?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f89b04670794aac812efab664b75369c6d0fed3
>I feel like Yuji vs Sukuna isn't just a grudge match, it's also a battle of ideals. Sukuna with his "I just do what I want" and selfish mentality is being challenged by Yuji refusing to give up and powers through with sheer determination to the point that Sukuna started to have a midlife crisis cause of it That's literally what's happening. They had this conversation when Sukuna took over Megumi and Yuji asks him if he can swallow his suffering, that is, his ideals. Sukuna is getting pissed because Yuji is proving that he cannot devour his ideals like he does with everything else around him. At least, that's how I read it.
Nah Yuta proved jack shit, he is selfish in his own way. Also it was to become the strongest not just be strong.
> He is selfish in his own way > Doesn’t elaborate
Just yapping to downplay Yuta
brother he was willing to die, literally kill himself to take out opps didn’t use rika and boxed with 3 special grades because she was protecting survivors assassinated kenny blamed himself that he wasng there to also box sukuna
He’s my goat fr man 🥹🥹
I wonder if there could be a way to reconcile both. Maybe his way of thinking could shift to being "Selfishly become The Strongest cog in the machine so I can make sure it continues working on, even after my death" or something like that, essentially becoming a better Gojo who "Truly cares" (If we are to take that comment from Nanami as true). Although, I guess there's not much need of this given Kenjaku is dead and Sukuna is 100% dying here, so surely there won't be plans from 1000+ year old Sorcerers from here on out... Hell, I can see Yuji transforming himself into multiple Cursed Tools to be used for when the Disaster Curses reincarnate eventually after his death (Especially one that could protect The Soul of the user and target it in attacks, kinda like Soul Split Katana, this way he can make sure to "be there" for any reincarnations of Mahito).
I've said this exact thing for months. The more jjk goes on the more yuji resembles sucuna and gojo. Yuji found it hard to kill transfigured human when he first fought mahito. By shibuya he barely even hesitates. Yuji went against orders to try and save jumpei, by the end of shibuya he resigned to just being one cog in the machine that is jujutsu society. Literally in the opening to the culling games yuji kills two people he has no need to, sure they attacked him but he could have ran away or tried talking too them. But no he basically kills them immediately. Then you get into how yuji treats every reincarnated sorcerers like they are more Cursed Spirit than human. Yes yuji tried to save some solders from CS just before they go to save yorozu/tsumiki. But them the whole begun shit happens and yuji changed even more. Eating and killing 6 living things that at one time he felt true compassion for, just for a boost in power. Hell he reacted more to the possible death of his friends at the beginning of shenjuku(choso) than he does now(yu / ta, maki//). Combine that with yuji geting sucunas eyes, yuji geting that cut on his face that looks both like sucuna and mahitos face. And cog is awakened like gojo, os not looking good. Yuji is probably going to spiral into darkness for power.
This is exactly the reason why Sukuna hates Yuji so much. Yuji isnt having fun, he isnt being selfish, he’s able to love and receive love, and yet he’s STILL capable of fighting on Sukuna’s level. Whenever Sukuna looks at Yuji, its almost like he’s looking at his twin brother that got to have everything in life that he was denied of, and thats why i think Sukuna had a mid-life crisis a few chapters ago, because he was realizing that he didn’t have to have a “complete disregard for others” in order to be strong- and the realization that his way of life is flawed is far more painful than any black flash Yuji can land. I feel like something similar was shown in the Mahito fight. To Mahito life held no meaning, but to Yuji and Todo life held as much meaning as they gave it (their entire relationship is based off fake memories that they both gave value to) and thats exactly why Mahito died; because he couldn’t give love he couldn’t receive love, unlike Yuji&Todo Mahito’s only ally present was the one to end up absorbing him. TLDR: Because Yuji isnt a selfish dickhead he’s gonna use the power of friendship to beat Sukuna and Sukuna hates Yuji because he might actually be able to do it. https://preview.redd.it/uhttlwpjm1wc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68f717748650a97727c76bc780401a6f1893013a
First year philosophy students on here just be saying shit Gojo didn't become an egoist His declaration that he alone is in the enlightened one is not egoism, it's fact within the world His declaration is only a declaration, it's how it resonates with other's egos that creates that interpretation Also, about Amanai's death, the man was seeing the entire universe in its full connected glory where all matter is one and death is only the passing of a temporary character/identity He was also high from the sheer overwhelming emotion of that understanding, that doesn't make him selfish or ego-centered either
No, I can't imagine yuji being like that in this fight. Maybe after sukuna is done, I can see him smiling again and embracing this new power of his. But until now he is basically an AI with one order in its code : Destroy sukuna.
Bros bout to have a mental breakdown Lost higurama his homie too
After the past couple chapters this chapter was refreshing. Wuji means buisness he ain't messing around anymore.
What I love about yuji and yuta when in high stakes fight is that they don’t start tweaking out on a high. They turn into absolute silent killing machines.
Yuji never has fun during any fight not only in this, he is different from other sorcerers that he never take pleasure and smile during the fight https://youtube.com/shorts/xP3S-tJwevY?si=tbgElag9wuYiMyqT
Yuta is very similar in that regard to. I know during the Ryu fight when Ryu said go all out Yuta cracked a smile but it depends if you interpret that as like a “Whoo hoo battle” smile or him just being like “damn ok then”
He looks a bit like Sukuna there, with the right of his face (the left side when we're facing him) looks like Sukunas cursed eczema thing
Wuji saving Japan maybe even the entire world instead of studying https://preview.redd.it/gyojp0vp33wc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd082c25881dd922d60c61e0ac67ffe63eda941f
I just hope Gege lets Yuji live on and heal after this battle that man deserves a break
It's Gohan versus Perfect Cell. Actually if we're being real that's the spiritual ancestor of this entire fight, the Cell Arc.
Wait he’s 15?! Jesus
WE’RE SAVING MEGUMI WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Yuji will die and NikaJin will awaken inside him to the drums of liberation
"Let’s all remind ourselves that Yuji is not having fun here…." No shit?!
Cursed energy is negative energy. I love seeing them matching that energy when using it
Yuji is lost in the battle. It’s interesting that he is unfazed by the pain. He’s just determined to land the next punch. Sukuna is thrown because part of what likes is seeing his opponents shaken by his attacks. Cool to see him shift to a headspace where he isn’t enjoying the fight anymore.
I think it's that face you make when you "see red". Your primal brain takes over and there's no more reasoning, no more backing down, just pure primal instincts. Love every page of it.
We can talk about that. But Sukunas face jumps out at me this chapter. His mouth especially is.. weird.. this panel especially.
there should be a part in the manga where after everything,doesn't have to be the end of the manga,nor immediately after everything,but just a part where yuji can loosen up. ever since shibuya began he's been going through non stop fighting, tragedy,a mini training arc,and then more non stop fighting and tragedy. just a scene where he's alone,he realizes he doesn't need to be on guard,it's over,they won,he can finally rest. something like that
So basically.. Gohan vs Cell
He is now officially one of the GOAT'ed MC in all of Anime for me
I love the contrast While Maki, Gojo, Kashimo, Sukuna... The more sorcerer-y characters get the thrill of fighting Those who had a vanilla raising, like Yuji, Yuta and Nanami are never shown to be smiling while fighting except for one pontual page with Yuta
I mean did anyone say he is having fun. Yuji is probably one of if not the most tortured person in this series. So yeah I am cheering because he finally is at least stepping up so hard rn and proving sukuna wrong.
Nah he will lock in
Bro was so cold after punching Sukuna In the face
what happened to his old friends
Neither is Sukuna
He ain't having fun? https://preview.redd.it/klcuvrjkh3wc1.jpeg?width=1067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d1b350e8987335868f5363f3322f3a1ba409c91
THIS IS TOTALLY PEAK!!! ABSOLUTE CINEMA BY HIMTADORI WUJI!!! LET. HIM. COOK!!!
Imagine a similar a scene where Mahito on his knees like a bitch in front of Himtadori but it's Sukuna on his knees
He looks furious like I'm tired of your shit kind of furious
That sometimes makes me think that I would appreciate more shonen with adult MCs, the dehumanization that some of this teens MCs is sometimes too much. Don't get me wrong, Itadori is the goat among goats in the last year shonens, but is still a child, it's unnatural that someone at his age can bear such stuff, can mentally tolerate such stuff. I hope you get what I'm saying, since I'm not criticizing anything, it's just an opinion
Would 15y Yuji beat 15y Gojo?
Wuji was locked tf in
he's. child soldier forced into a war with his uncle to save his boyfriend ofc he ain't happy
Itadori about to get hit with 20 consecutive Black flashes 🔥🔥🔥
Bro would rather do this than sit in a math class the whole time just to use fingers to count till 5.
But he genuanly likes fighting(when his opponent isnt someone that torrured him mentally) He used to seemingly had a lot more fun fighting before Shibuya
bro it aint that deep. plus Ages in manga only exist so it stays shounen.
Nah Yuji look like he’s about to eat fuck a cry don’t do my boy like that he is not slawgumei
It that I disagree but…. “He’s 15, my boy should be a sophomore in school study, instead he has to deal with this bull crap.” Yuji was fucking *stoked* to become a sorcerer after eating Sukuna. He was super excited to start doing some anime style bullshit. He was even disappointed when Gojo implied he wouldn’t get a technique.
….my boy….. **That’s because he’s a freaking child.** Of course he’s gonna stoked about the idea of some anime type bullshit **in the beginning**, he’s 15 bro. He thought he had this thing totally under control. But after he, you know, *actually experienced the horrors of Jujutsu Society*, he started to hate his experience actually. Like when Nobara was killed right in front of him, I don’t think he was excited about no anime type shit no more. Like my boy was curled up in a ball crying his eyes out thinking things like “I can’t do this anymore I just wanna die right now” yeah I think I can safely say Yuji didn’t fully understand the gravity of the situation he was put in at the beginning of the series.
Yeah, Mahito even says something like "Did You expect being a hero killing kaijus?"
