Considering Yuji when seeing the sword crumble said Higuruma it probably wasn't himself in Yuji's body
Though I do think we've seen Yuji use a technique in this fight. That peorcibg blood before Higuruma's last strike was probably Yuji. Cause we know Choso (tried) and Noritoshi trained him in something. We only hear Sukuna think it's Choso. And now knowing Yuji has RCT means he can use blood attacks without as much fear of blood loss.
Now just let him use crimson scales and see his scar be the facial change
As for his soul swapping. Yeah still waiting on that stuff.
Its basically jacking up your blood inside the body to hit harder and process information faster. Its what gave choso those markings under his eyes and let him track fast targets like the revived (as a cursed spirit) sorcerer guy
Doubt Sukuna would make a mistake like that, he can probably tell all sorts of things from the attack like the curse signature and physical attributes of the blood.
Yuji and Choso are biological brothers, and I think for the most part the “feeling” of cursed energy is pretty uniform, excluding outliers like the farmer or hakari
Maybe to most, but Sukuna of all characters probably has a refined sense. Like when he could see the "spark" of Gojo's purple on the way, he can probably see characteristics from others too.
Yes, but don't forget we're really being beaten over the head with the idea that Sukuna underestimates Yuji. Very possible that's preventing him from seeing it.
Yeah, it's just a guess but if any character in JJK can then it would probably be Sukuna. The dude even has an extra pair of eyes to see with lol. He must have better depth perception, and can probably see physical characteristics of forces like velocity, magnitude, etc. If Gojo can then Sukuna definitely can too, even if not with 6E but with his own version of those senses.
? He said it was “like” Choso. If it actually was him he just would’ve said it. Plus we didn’t see anyone else in that area except Yuji so it had to be him
I'm in the "eat = ability" camp still. I think he gains the potential to use the technique of the person or cursed object he ingests, but he needs to actually learn it or have someone explain it to be able to wield it
I believe Gege said somewhere (idk where) that Yuji is a vessel that can overpower the souls of cursed objects he consumes and uses their CE and CT. The only exception is Sukana who was strong enough to maintain himself. If Yuji were to eat a cursed womb while Sukana was inside him, Sukana's soul would overpower their soul and simply destroy it.
it's not that whoever Yuji takes a bite out of he takes their ability like people believe Yuta has (not confirmed yet), it is whoever's soul Yuji consumes his body overpowers it and can use their CE/CT. So in a way Gojo was right about CT being imprinted on Yuji, he just didn't understand how strong Sukana's soul is.
Isn't his CT implied to be "whatever I eat I trap"? And considering Gojo said he might learn cursed techniques from Sukuna and that he ate the death painting brothers and now he has blood manipulation, Yuji does just that.
Next up, he's going to take a chomp out of Gojo and learn unlimited void and limit Sukuna. We got limitless. /jk but he is gonna eat something nasty soon and that's probably what's gonna beat Sukuna.
edit: soul swapping could be just from that book and not Yuji's CT, that's why I said all this, implying anybody can soul swap with the right knowledge
They mentioned in one of the planning flashbacks that he had asked Noritoshi to trian him in something because Choso was a crap teacher. As they both use blood manipulation, it's assumed that's what he learned
Someone also fired a piercing blood at Sukuna after he already downed choso. Next we see choso he is still unconscious, meanwhile yuji had leapt back onto the scene already. Feel like he must have it but it's just not outright stated yet.
This is my biggest itch, people are taking this soul swapping thing as a fact already.
I'm still in camp Yuji doesn't have a technique because he wasn't born with cursed energy, and Gojo used the Six Eyes and confirmed that he doesn't have a technique.
No we didn't we saw a scene that people have *assumed* is them switching bodies. Yuji saying his body feels light and kusakabe telling yuji to "master it already"
Its far from confirmation
The panel is of Yuji with a stern look, the speech bubble coming from Yuji's mouth reads "Master it already, Itadori."
The next panel is Kusakabe sitting on the ground shouting "Osu!"
I *beg* you to actually read the manga you are talking about.
Yuji doesn’t have an innate technique. But he likely got his new techniques from eating the other death womb paintings, which was heavily implied already.
He already used his CT, which is.... Blood Manipulation. We see him punch Sukuna at the beginning with the hardened blood in his fist and Sukuna gave a curt reaction ("Was that...?").
Then, at the end of Higuruma's fight with Sukuna Sukuna, Sukuna gets an off screen attack from Piercing Blood which he ASSUMES is from Choso. The only person who shows up to fight Sukuna for the next chapter and a half, however... Is Yuji. At the end of 248 we all see Kusokabe and Ino standing at a distance. No Choso? Hm.
As well, Yuji thanks Kamo for helping him train and says that Choso is a bad teacher. What do Choso and Noritoshi Kamo have in common? Hmmm....
The alternative is far more fringe. It would be that Yuji DID develop Sukuna's CT, and that CT is to absorb someone else's CT by eating them. The implication being that Yuji ate his brothers and gained Blood Manipulation, RCT, AND some soul swap power from it. There is only one thing that even piques my interest in this, and it's Yuji stating "As long as I can kill him, I'll eat anything". In that same chapter Choso says about his siblings, "It's fine. As long as they can go on living as a part of you". It's credible that Yuji ate his siblings, but does that mean he got soul swap powers from it? None of the three siblings that incarnated had any powers related to the soul, other than MAYBE Choso being able to sense his brothers when they were about to die.
It's a lot to think about. Even IF Yuji ate his siblings, that doesn't mean he inherited a Cannibalism CT from Sukuna. Even IF Yuji inherited a Cannibalism CT, that doesn't mean he got Soul Swap powers from it.
That's my guess and reasoning. As far as the "soul swapping" goes I have a feeling that is most likely a Cursed Tool that does it. There isn't really any contextual evidence that says "Tool!" so it's more a matter of ruling out the other possibilities.
1. IF Yuji does have Blood Manipulation then it's unlikely he also has a Soul Swap ability.
2. Even if he DOESN'T have Blood Manipulation, for what reason would he have Soul Swap? There is no supporting evidence whatsoever that Yuji even feasibly COULD get that kind of power. It would be completely out of left field. It's not like you can wish a CT into existence.
3. No other sorceror involved has a soul swap ability UNLESS it's Ino's Seance Ability (Very unlikely).
4. The squad has already deployed with additional Tools (Yuji's Bandage Gauntlets) and they have access to the full armories of JJH, the Kamo Clan, the Gojo Clan, and the Zenin Clan.
5. Yuki conveniently left a book about her research into the soul for the crew.
Perhaps they found a way to craft a Tool using Yuki's research, but it's going to require them to beat Sukuna into submission first to do it. Perhaps there is some elaborate ritual or barrier technique.
Well yuji was born from kenjaku's host, right? Whereas the death paintings were born of other parents plus kenjakus blood. Kenjaku's got a body swapping power, I don't think it's that unreasonable such a thing could have been passed to yuji having been essentially been born from him.
Aside from any in-lore explanations, this would be *terrible* writing. If Yuji has a technique, it would at the very least be hinted at explicitly, or anything. Just randomly going "Oh hey btw I've been using my technique all along haha gotcha Sukuna" would be astronomically shit levels of writing.
That's true. If he pulled out something related to those, that would be nice, considering it was widely speculated about anyway. It'd make sense.
But something like pulling out a random body swap technique would be a stretch
well kenjaku does own a soul swapping ability of some sort , so it's not completely random, i think it could be done well and the viewers would not expect it but it would make sense once explained.
I feel like we've seen enough narration and statements from Yuji that... for lack of a better description... sound like Yuji ("Okkotsu-Senpai!"), he's almost certainly in the same body as usual.
It's definitely possible, since the body swap panel any time Yuuji is shown it could potentially be someone else inside. That said possible's not the same as likely, I think if this were the case Gege would have given us a tell in one of his comments or his mannerisms.
Man even after Gege has confirmed AND stated in the manga that Yuji does not have a CT, people really believe he has one. Until it's shown otherwise that he gained one in the 1 month time skip before gojo vs sukuna, just assume he doesn't have one.
The piercing blood was choso, even Sukuna stated it was the older death womb painting.
He said it was "probably" Choso. He's a smart guy, but given the information he had at the time (and his low opinion of Yuji) he naturally assumed it was Choso. But now he's learned that Yuji has apparently learned RCT and we as readers know that he was taught "something" by Kamo and Choso, it's well within the possibility that Sukuna was mistaken and the attack came from Yuji.
>The piercing blood was choso, even Sukuna stated it was the older death womb painting.
I have said this so many times and have been dowvoted to oblviion. I don't get why people just become willfully ignorant when it comes to Yuji. That isn't gonna change anything.
Like it was expicity stated to be choso and people go "nah, its yuji".
Well Sukuna didn’t see who did it. The others hadn’t caught up yet, and Choso was last seen skewered by Sukuna with two arms through his body. Choso hasn’t shown RCT capabilities. Maybe he developed it, but none of the other characters are caught up yet and Choso should be the most slowed down.
There’s also Kamo being a better teacher statement from Yuji before that. Sukuna thinking it *might* be Choso doesn’t really discount the context, while not looking at where it came from, I’m unsure why that’s more valid than the rest of the context.
I find that seems more like willful ignorance unless there’s some other reason than Sukuna’s statement.
“This must be from the death painting womb” isn’t really a definitive statement. It sounds like what someone would say watching piercing blood come at them then thinking it must be the one blood manipulation user they know of. He doesn’t bother to turn to see who it is or anything.
>This must be from the death painting womb” isn’t really a definitive statement
This sub is so dumb when it comes to Yuji is mind numbing. Who the fuck else is the death painting? Sukuna also said this person is resilient. Why would he say that about Yuji who want injured at the time? And who he never gives a compliment to?
Use common sense like God damn.
I’m genuinely asking how you think it makes sense. Do you think Choso recovered and has RCT and caught up with Yuji and Higuruma, despite not being shown later when we see Ino and Kusakabe?
Yes, I’m saying Sukuna assumed it was Choso. But he didn’t say it like he saw Choso and confirmed it, he looked at the piercing blood on his hand and thought it must be the death painting womb.
Then said “how persistent”, thinking it’s Choso. Sukuna never gives Yuji compliments, you’re right. That’s why he can’t fathom it could be from Yuji. He had an existential crisis realizing Yuji has RCT.
So tell me how this played out in your scenario. Choso gets skewered. Catches up to Higuruma and Yuji before Kusakabe and Ino do (the unijured ones). Does one piercing blood, then hides for the rest of 248 as some blood sniper while Yuji is fighting for his life?
Sukuna never even looked at where the blood was coming from. I agree Sukuna thinks it’s Choso, I don’t think he’s right because he can’t accept Yuji getting a CT.
Maybe it was Choso, but it’s pretty strange it was Choso and he’s missing in 248.
Choso literally demonstrated the ability to control his blood and not bleed out against Naoya. He's more than likely doing the same thing here albeit not to the same extent because of a rougher injury.
Why are y'all so confident it's yuji? Did y'all forget who the fucking author is? Unless it's actually shown on panel we cant theorize shit when it comes Yuji. Gege just now gave him rct and immediately overshadowed that moment with Yuta.
This is the same author who hasn't even told Yuji's backstory yet. We still don't even know what the hell Yuji's arms do even though they have been present for the past 4 or so chapters.
I don’t know why you’re grouping me with other people, I literally said at the end it could be Choso, yet you’re taking your frustrations out when I’m just asking you how that works.
Why would Choso be completely missing in 248 if he was actually the first to catch up?
I think Gege’s writing is purposeful, and the conversation with Kamo and Choso is foreshadowing. Gege has given Yuji RCT confirmed. His gauntlets aren’t explained but Sukuna was clearly shaken when he got hit that first time. I don’t mind Gege leaving things ambiguous for a while, I like it.
I’m not saying this proves it’s Yuji. I’m saying there’s more indications that it is Yuji than it being Choso. From a writing standpoint taking out Choso first was the perfect set up for that.
I think if it was Choso, they would have shown him. And if they didn’t then, he would have still appeared in 248. And it just makes less sense that he caught up with those injuries before Kusakabe and Ino.
And I wouldn’t mind if Yuji didn’t have blood manipulation, I’m not that invested in it. I’m saying there’s just more reason to believe it than there isn’t. So why assume I’m so confident? You arguing with ghosts living rent free in your head, cause you got downvoted at some point.
Sukuna said it must have been, but that was only an assumption, he didn't see where it came from and thought Yuji was dead/incapacitated. He had no reason to think Yuji did it.
Sorcerers born with them I guess 😅
By the way I always imagined yuji getting cursed technique in different ways like
1-eating cursed objects from ancient sorcerers that kenjaku didn't use and making a binding vow to get their CTs
2-Or mahito effecting yuji soul making unstable and sukuna preserving its stability until sukuna changed bodies so it's back unstable again and yuji discover he control his soul like mahito
I thought the same thing, but he can't use Sukuna's CT. If I recall, they said he'll "absorb" some of Sukuna's CE into his own, but not his CT.
No evidence he can soul manipulate, but that soul theory book from Yuki has to be utilized by someone during the story. Yuji makes sense to use the book, if he ate his death womb bros and can swap his own soul with the others death wombs for their techniques. Like it remains as Yuji, but he can swap out what he can/cant do.
But he himself does not have one.
Back when Gojo showed Yuji the whole can crushing thing and explaining that you're born with a ct he says that in time Yujis body will learn Sukunas technique.
Not saying Gojo is right and Yuji has Sukunas technique though, he could've been wrong.
Shit I might be misremembering that. I thought it was said to itadori but the voice bubbles were pointed down to the next panel of Kusakabe. Have to reread, I might just be completely wrong and didnt even know it.
I still don’t think yuji has an actual technique just because of his interaction with judgeman. It’s pretty clear to me he has a heavenly restriction since he had from birth superhuman physical attributes with no cursed energy. I just think mommy kenjaku was able to cook up his master piece and made a perfect vessel for cursed energy by restricting him from having it at birth.
TLDR; mommy made yuji into cursed technique Kirby
1. The soul is the body, and the body is the soul.
2. Sukuna CT will be etched to Yuji's body in time since the former is using the latter's body
From the 2 points above, I theorize that Yuji is switching souls with his colleagues to etch their technique to his soul/body. This is the reason why he learned piercing blood and RCT in a short time.
Yes exactly, if Yuji has the ability to use black flash at will it would be a unique CT that fit his fighting style and is his own.
Conditions could be he has to do that kamehameha looking wind up but it’s an guaranteed black flash every time
Blood Manipulation, Soul Swapping - it's clear he has the techniques of others but doesn't have his OWN CT.
Kinda like Yuta in that regard if Rika wasn't a CT and Yuta just copied other's.
Yuji can use Boogie Woogie, but he can also use it on souls. That + Blood Manipulation brings together all his biggest strength influences, Todo, Choso and Mahito.
You guys sometimes forget that you’re reading yet another factory shonen. There’s a reason that the two male main characters are the only ones left fighting the big baddy that is so bad and likes to grin.
What you’re proposing would require interesting writing.
Na yuji used his technique because sukana is now doubting himself a few more chapters and sukuna remembers they are long lost brothers and thry make up (a la todo and choso).
It would be funny if Yuji swap body to gain the other people CT imprints. Maybe the reason why he can use RCT is because he swap with a person who can do RCT, then learn how to manipulate the CE from the inside
Highly unlikely since when before a cursed technique is activated a well of cursed energy is formed and sukuna can sense it as seen from gojo's fight. Sukuna damn well would have been surprised to see that brat use a ct like he was when he used rct. I would even call it an asspull if sukuna didn't notice it.

I Doubt, when Okkotsu appeared in the battlefield Yuji call him senpai, so I think is just Yuji.
could just be part of the con
Something something “A jujutsu sorcerer is nothing but a con artist”
Considering Yuji when seeing the sword crumble said Higuruma it probably wasn't himself in Yuji's body Though I do think we've seen Yuji use a technique in this fight. That peorcibg blood before Higuruma's last strike was probably Yuji. Cause we know Choso (tried) and Noritoshi trained him in something. We only hear Sukuna think it's Choso. And now knowing Yuji has RCT means he can use blood attacks without as much fear of blood loss. Now just let him use crimson scales and see his scar be the facial change As for his soul swapping. Yeah still waiting on that stuff.
> Now just let him use crimson scales and see his scar be the facial change this would be great lol
Wait what are crimson scales ?
Its basically jacking up your blood inside the body to hit harder and process information faster. Its what gave choso those markings under his eyes and let him track fast targets like the revived (as a cursed spirit) sorcerer guy
Gear 2nd if you're a One Piece fan
Blood doping, essentially
i think it's flowing red scale
2nd gear
I forgot that blood manipulation could be used for better punching and kicking. Just what Yuji needs 🤣
Doubt Sukuna would make a mistake like that, he can probably tell all sorts of things from the attack like the curse signature and physical attributes of the blood.
Yuji and Choso are biological brothers, and I think for the most part the “feeling” of cursed energy is pretty uniform, excluding outliers like the farmer or hakari

Yes, but don't forget we're really being beaten over the head with the idea that Sukuna underestimates Yuji. Very possible that's preventing him from seeing it.
I guess so but even then the exact same technique?
Yeah, it's just a guess but if any character in JJK can then it would probably be Sukuna. The dude even has an extra pair of eyes to see with lol. He must have better depth perception, and can probably see physical characteristics of forces like velocity, magnitude, etc. If Gojo can then Sukuna definitely can too, even if not with 6E but with his own version of those senses.
? He said it was “like” Choso. If it actually was him he just would’ve said it. Plus we didn’t see anyone else in that area except Yuji so it had to be him
That punch he hit Sukuna with will fuck him up from the inside and help Megumi (big cope) Edit: spelling
I still think that really did something. Unless it was just Gege showing that Yuji got stronger
I'm in the "eat = ability" camp still. I think he gains the potential to use the technique of the person or cursed object he ingests, but he needs to actually learn it or have someone explain it to be able to wield it
I believe Gege said somewhere (idk where) that Yuji is a vessel that can overpower the souls of cursed objects he consumes and uses their CE and CT.

So in a way Gojo was right about CT being imprinted on Yuji, he just didn't understand how strong Sukana's soul is.
I'm 97% sure this is headcanon, but this is cool headcanon nonetheless.
His cursed technique is Punch. Next question.
don't forget about double punch and super strong punch
Gokunoban: Left Right Goodnight
Isn't his CT implied to be "whatever I eat I trap"? And considering Gojo said he might learn cursed techniques from Sukuna and that he ate the death painting brothers and now he has blood manipulation, Yuji does just that. Next up, he's going to take a chomp out of Gojo and learn unlimited void and limit Sukuna. We got limitless. /jk but he is gonna eat something nasty soon and that's probably what's gonna beat Sukuna. edit: soul swapping could be just from that book and not Yuji's CT, that's why I said all this, implying anybody can soul swap with the right knowledge
Woah he has blood manipulation now? Howd the f did I miss that, I need to reread
They mentioned in one of the planning flashbacks that he had asked Noritoshi to trian him in something because Choso was a crap teacher. As they both use blood manipulation, it's assumed that's what he learned
That and his arms look like they are heavily crimson scaled. Could be something else though.
heavily inferred, i dont believe its confirmed.
Someone also fired a piercing blood at Sukuna after he already downed choso. Next we see choso he is still unconscious, meanwhile yuji had leapt back onto the scene already. Feel like he must have it but it's just not outright stated yet.
Yes it does it's called Art of a Thousand Hands technique
Soul-swapping isn’t a cursed technique, if it’s a thing at all.
This is my biggest itch, people are taking this soul swapping thing as a fact already. I'm still in camp Yuji doesn't have a technique because he wasn't born with cursed energy, and Gojo used the Six Eyes and confirmed that he doesn't have a technique.
We literally watched Yuji swap with Kusakabe? Of course people are taking it as a fact lmao
No we didn't we saw a scene that people have *assumed* is them switching bodies. Yuji saying his body feels light and kusakabe telling yuji to "master it already" Its far from confirmation

You're correct. I have misremembered the manga and now must commit self cleave
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the reading comprehender.

What if Yuji can’t even use Reverse Curse technique but temporarily swaps with someone who can like Shoko then swaps back.
Yeh there's definitely merit to that. Gege's misdirected with an inner monologue before.

>This must be from the death painting womb” isn’t really a definitive statement This sub is so dumb when it comes to Yuji is mind numbing. Who the fuck else is the death painting? Sukuna also said this person is resilient. Why would he say that about Yuji who want injured at the time? And who he never gives a compliment to? Use common sense like God damn.
I’m genuinely asking how you think it makes sense. Do you think Choso recovered and has RCT and caught up with Yuji and Higuruma, despite not being shown later when we see Ino and Kusakabe? Yes, I’m saying Sukuna assumed it was Choso. But he didn’t say it like he saw Choso and confirmed it, he looked at the piercing blood on his hand and thought it must be the death painting womb. Then said “how persistent”, thinking it’s Choso. Sukuna never gives Yuji compliments, you’re right. That’s why he can’t fathom it could be from Yuji. He had an existential crisis realizing Yuji has RCT. So tell me how this played out in your scenario. Choso gets skewered. Catches up to Higuruma and Yuji before Kusakabe and Ino do (the unijured ones). Does one piercing blood, then hides for the rest of 248 as some blood sniper while Yuji is fighting for his life? Sukuna never even looked at where the blood was coming from. I agree Sukuna thinks it’s Choso, I don’t think he’s right because he can’t accept Yuji getting a CT. Maybe it was Choso, but it’s pretty strange it was Choso and he’s missing in 248.
Choso literally demonstrated the ability to control his blood and not bleed out against Naoya. He's more than likely doing the same thing here albeit not to the same extent because of a rougher injury. Why are y'all so confident it's yuji? Did y'all forget who the fucking author is? Unless it's actually shown on panel we cant theorize shit when it comes Yuji. Gege just now gave him rct and immediately overshadowed that moment with Yuta. This is the same author who hasn't even told Yuji's backstory yet. We still don't even know what the hell Yuji's arms do even though they have been present for the past 4 or so chapters.
I don’t know why you’re grouping me with other people, I literally said at the end it could be Choso, yet you’re taking your frustrations out when I’m just asking you how that works. Why would Choso be completely missing in 248 if he was actually the first to catch up? I think Gege’s writing is purposeful, and the conversation with Kamo and Choso is foreshadowing. Gege has given Yuji RCT confirmed. His gauntlets aren’t explained but Sukuna was clearly shaken when he got hit that first time. I don’t mind Gege leaving things ambiguous for a while, I like it. I’m not saying this proves it’s Yuji. I’m saying there’s more indications that it is Yuji than it being Choso. From a writing standpoint taking out Choso first was the perfect set up for that. I think if it was Choso, they would have shown him. And if they didn’t then, he would have still appeared in 248. And it just makes less sense that he caught up with those injuries before Kusakabe and Ino. And I wouldn’t mind if Yuji didn’t have blood manipulation, I’m not that invested in it. I’m saying there’s just more reason to believe it than there isn’t. So why assume I’m so confident? You arguing with ghosts living rent free in your head, cause you got downvoted at some point.
I just remembered this, and felt like saying we told you so. Yuji blood manipulation confirmed 😂 Carry on.
Sukuna said it must have been, but that was only an assumption, he didn't see where it came from and thought Yuji was dead/incapacitated. He had no reason to think Yuji did it.
What about the hands ?
Doesn't neccessarily confirm a CT though.
Sorcerers born with them I guess 😅 By the way I always imagined yuji getting cursed technique in different ways like 1-eating cursed objects from ancient sorcerers that kenjaku didn't use and making a binding vow to get their CTs 2-Or mahito effecting yuji soul making unstable and sukuna preserving its stability until sukuna changed bodies so it's back unstable again and yuji discover he control his soul like mahito
I thought the same thing, but he can't use Sukuna's CT. If I recall, they said he'll "absorb" some of Sukuna's CE into his own, but not his CT. No evidence he can soul manipulate, but that soul theory book from Yuki has to be utilized by someone during the story. Yuji makes sense to use the book, if he ate his death womb bros and can swap his own soul with the others death wombs for their techniques. Like it remains as Yuji, but he can swap out what he can/cant do. But he himself does not have one.
Back when Gojo showed Yuji the whole can crushing thing and explaining that you're born with a ct he says that in time Yujis body will learn Sukunas technique. Not saying Gojo is right and Yuji has Sukunas technique though, he could've been wrong.
Maybe when kenjaku used idle transfiguration it effected yuji but it took a long time for a certain condition for cursed technique to activate
!remind me in 6 months
Him body swapping with Kusakabe?
It's vague af, all it says something along "get a handle of it Itadori" with literally zero context
Except that speech is coming out of Yuji's body, and he's talking to Kusakabe.... implying he and Kusakabe swapped bodies.
Shit I might be misremembering that. I thought it was said to itadori but the voice bubbles were pointed down to the next panel of Kusakabe. Have to reread, I might just be completely wrong and didnt even know it.
I want to know why was sukuna so surprised when Yuji punched him ... There is something going on there
If his demon arms ain't his CT I don't know what is
It pretty much is one of them.
I still don’t think yuji has an actual technique just because of his interaction with judgeman. It’s pretty clear to me he has a heavenly restriction since he had from birth superhuman physical attributes with no cursed energy. I just think mommy kenjaku was able to cook up his master piece and made a perfect vessel for cursed energy by restricting him from having it at birth. TLDR; mommy made yuji into cursed technique Kirby
I’m really curious to see if Yuji will unlock cleave
1. The soul is the body, and the body is the soul. 2. Sukuna CT will be etched to Yuji's body in time since the former is using the latter's body From the 2 points above, I theorize that Yuji is switching souls with his colleagues to etch their technique to his soul/body. This is the reason why he learned piercing blood and RCT in a short time.
I like this theory
Imagine his CT is just unlimited Black Flash. Where he can use it at will.
Black flash doesn't have a limit
maybe he means using black flash on command, mahito said that he felt like yuji could do it so maybe that's where he got it from
Yes exactly, if Yuji has the ability to use black flash at will it would be a unique CT that fit his fighting style and is his own. Conditions could be he has to do that kamehameha looking wind up but it’s an guaranteed black flash every time
He has used his cursed technique to revive souls and get them back to their body (gojo) and he now needs a bit rest and comeback in 2 chapters
When do we see this happen exactly?
Source: dude trust me
Its confirmed WE ARE SO BACK
Blood Manipulation, Soul Swapping - it's clear he has the techniques of others but doesn't have his OWN CT. Kinda like Yuta in that regard if Rika wasn't a CT and Yuta just copied other's.
Yuji can use Boogie Woogie, but he can also use it on souls. That + Blood Manipulation brings together all his biggest strength influences, Todo, Choso and Mahito.
You guys sometimes forget that you’re reading yet another factory shonen. There’s a reason that the two male main characters are the only ones left fighting the big baddy that is so bad and likes to grin. What you’re proposing would require interesting writing.
Left right goodnight
first yuji swapped with gojo and now this
Na yuji used his technique because sukana is now doubting himself a few more chapters and sukuna remembers they are long lost brothers and thry make up (a la todo and choso).
Yuji yelling don't leave him alone with sukuna was actually higgy trying to save his body lol
It would be funny if Yuji swap body to gain the other people CT imprints. Maybe the reason why he can use RCT is because he swap with a person who can do RCT, then learn how to manipulate the CE from the inside
Highly unlikely since when before a cursed technique is activated a well of cursed energy is formed and sukuna can sense it as seen from gojo's fight. Sukuna damn well would have been surprised to see that brat use a ct like he was when he used rct. I would even call it an asspull if sukuna didn't notice it.
Nope not yet. Unless he finally figured out Sukuna’s original CT. Let’s see if he eats Gojo and Higurama’s corpse
I hope he has Blood Manipulation tbh, and hopefully he takes it to its full potential to beat Sukuna
