|
Itadori's grandfather, Wasuke Itadori, is the reincarnation of Sukuna's twin brother who was absorbed by Ryomen Sukuna before birth. Because of this, his mother Kaori Itadori, who should have died in an accident, wasKenjakupossessed, and approached Wasuke's biological son Jin Itadori, who was mentally depressed after losing his wife, leading to the birth of Yuji Itadori. The reason Itadori's physical strength and potential far exceed normal humans is that Kenjaku deliberately created him as an incarnated vessel suitable for containing Ryomen Sukuna in the future. When he was very young, a finger of Sukuna was sealed inside Itadori's body, and combined with other cursed objects attached to him for a long time to gain the resistance required to become Sukuna's vessel (according to Sukuna's speculation to Uraume after reading Itadori's memories and background upon incarnation, it was essentially like raising "Gu," and incidentally developed poison resistance). ———— Special Grade Cursed Object Theft Incident On the day his grandfather passed away, he and someone who was searching for a special grade cursed objectMegumi Fushiguromet, and in order to save his Occult Research Club seniors Sasaki and Iguchi from the "cursed object" crisis, he swallowed the special grade cursed object "Ryomen Sukuna's Finger" and endured its lethal poison, merging himself with the curse and becomingRyomen SukunaSukuna's "vessel" and symbiont.Sukuna fingers consumed: 1Actually 2} Therefore, he was originally supposed to be executed, but on the grounds that "he's going to die sooner or later anyway, so we might as well wait until he absorbs all of Sukuna's fingers before killing him," he was placed on a suspended sentence. (The truth isGojo Satoruthat a de facto life sentence was forcibly secured for him, and a Sukuna finger he brought himself was used for Itadori to consume as a testSukuna fingers consumed: 2Actually 3}） Under Gojo's arrangement, he transferred to Jujutsu High to study jujutsu. Cursed Womb Must Die During the mission at the juvenile detention center, he was severely injured by a special grade curse. With no other choice, he lost consciousness after switching control of his body to Sukuna once the others had left. After Sukuna defeated the special grade curse and retrieved the finger...Sukuna's fingers consumed: 3Actually 4}, left the juvenile detention center and attempted to kill Fushiguro, tearing out Itadori's heart to prevent him from interfering. However, during theMegumi Fushiguroduel, Itadori chose to regain consciousness voluntarily, resulting in his temporary death. While dead, he entered Sukuna's "Innate Domain" and made a Binding Vow called "Enchain" with Sukuna before being resurrected, and withGojo Satoruunderwent secret trainingwhich was essentially watching various movies while holding a Cursed Corpse and ensuring he didn't get hit. Afterwards, he was taken by Satoru Gojo to observe the battle between Gojo and Jogo. Vs. Mahito Arc While on a mission, he met a fellow movie enthusiast,Junpei Yoshino, and the two quickly became friends. However, the next day, he was forced to fight Yoshino, who had been manipulated by Mahito. During the battle, the two reconciled, and he invited Yoshino to transfer to Jujutsu High, but due toMahito's interference, Yoshino was turned into a transfigured human by Mahito and died. An enraged Itadori, along with Kento Nanami who arrived upon hearing the news, engaged in a fierce battle with Mahito. Ultimately, Mahito angered Ryomen Sukuna inside Itadori and fled in panic after being heavily wounded, while Yuji Itadori collapsed with severe injuries. He was later healed upon returning to Jujutsu High. Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event The fact of Itadori's resurrection was made publicas Satoru Gojo pushed him out in a cardboard box on a cart, returning to participate in the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event team battle. Itadori was assigned to keep Aoi Todo, who is also skilled in close combat, in check. Through their fight, they got to know each other and became best friends. Todo helped Itadori further refine the coordination between his martial arts and cursed energy, and taught him how to use "Black Flash." Midway through, Special Grade Cursed Spirits like Hanami intruded into the exchange event venue. Itadori and Todo arrived just in time to take over for Fushiguro and Maki, who were struggling in battle. During this time, Itadori landed five consecutive "Black Flashes" in one day, breaking the previous record held by Nanami. The two successfully dealt heavy damage to Hanami. Hanami attempted to counterattack with a Domain Expansion, but Satoru Gojo broke the "Curtain" and launched Hollow Purple, blowing away half of Hanami's body and forcing a retreat. After repelling the Special Grade Cursed Spirits, the group battle format was changed to a baseball game. Itadori achieved a score of 2-0, and Tokyo School defeated Kyoto School. The Origin of Blind Obedience The first-year trio jointly investigated the cursed spirit under Yasohachi Bridge. During this time, Itadori and Kugisaki faced Kechizu and Eso. During the battle, Kugisaki also successfully learned "Black Flash." Ultimately, Kechizu died from Kugisaki's technique "Hairpin," and Eso died from Kugisaki's "Resonance" and Itadori's Divergent Fist. The two later met up with Fushiguro under the bridge, and Fushiguro handed one of Sukuna's fingers to Itadori.Then Sukuna opened a mouth on Itadori's hand and swallowed it.Sukuna's fingers consumed: 4.Actually 5.。 Shibuya Incident After Satoru Gojo arrived in Shibuya, Itadori was assigned to Mei Mei's squad (Mei Mei, Ui Ui, and Itadori) to provide support starting from Meiji-Jingumae Station. Inside the subway station, Itadori encountered the grasshopper curse "Ko-guy" guarding the "Curtain." Itadori demonstrated the strength of a semi-Grade 1 sorcerer, successfully killing Ko-guy and destroying the "Curtain." On the way to Shibuya Station along the tracks, Itadori learned from Mechamaru that Satoru Gojo had been sealed. After dealing with the cursed spirits blocking the way, Mei Mei pointed out a shortcut to Shibuya for Itadori, and he entered the Shibuya "Curtain" alone. After defeating the curses in his path, Itadori met up with Nanami's squad. Itadori, Fushiguro, and Ino went to destroy the "Curtain" and encountered the curse user Granny Ogami, her grandson, and the curse user Jiro Awasaka. Itadori Itadori headed to the station alone and encountered the eldest brother of the Death Painting Wombs inside.Choso,. The powerful Choso forced Itadori into a hard fight, eventually leaving him severely injured and unconscious on the ground. Just as Choso was about to deliver a fatal blow, memories that never existed flashed through his mind—namely, a scene of Itadori and Choso's two younger brothers dining together, where Itadori calls Choso "Big Brother"—, and he consequently left in a state of breakdown and confusion. At this time,Nanako Hasaba、Mimiko Hasabathe sisters and Jogo took the opportunity to feed Itadori a total of eleven of Sukuna's fingers, leading Sukuna to take control of Itadori's body. Sukuna first killed the Hasaba sisters out of annoyance when they tried to use information about the fingers to get him to eliminate Pseudo-Geto. Regarding Jogo's request for him to join them, Sukuna proposed that "if Jogo could land a single hit on him, he would kill everyone in Shibuya except for Fushiguro." He then engaged in a battle with Jogo that nearly destroyed half of Shibuya, ultimately burning Jogo to a crisp.Sukuna's finger consumption: 15 fingersActually 16 fingers} Sukuna sensed that Fushiguro was in mortal danger while attempting to tame the Shikigami Mahoraga. He immediately went to support him, using Domain Expansion to kill all living beings within a 140-meter radius on the surface. He then used "Furnace" to destroy Mahoraga and invalidate the ritual, before delivering Fushiguro to Shoko Ieiri and returning the body to Itadori. This battle against Mahoraga almost completely leveled the buildings and people on the surface of Shibuya. After realizing what Sukuna had done with his body, Itadori was in agony, but he quickly pulled himself together and headed back to Shibuya Station. The moment he entered the station, he witnessed Nanami being killed by Mahito. Filled with rage and hatred, he began a fierce battle with Mahito. Meanwhile, outside the station, Nobara Kugisaki was also fighting Mahito's double. As the battle intensified, Mahito and his double began to flee, with Itadori and Kugisaki in pursuit, meeting in the subway station hall. Kugisaki let her guard down for a split second upon seeing Itadori, failing to notice Mahito swapping places with his double. She was touched on the cheek by Mahito and died from a facial explosion. Struck by successive blows, Itadori fell into self-blame, shock, and grief. He was hit by a series of "Black Flashes" from Mahito and collapsed, heavily injured. Just as Mahito intended to deliver the final blow, Aoi Todo arrived on the scene, saving Itadori with his Cursed Technique "Boogie Woogie" and encouraging him. Arriving with him, Arata Nitta healed Itadori, who pulled himself together once more to face Mahito alongside Todo. During the battle, Todo's left hand was touched by Mahito, forcing him to cut it off. His right hand, inthe delusion of "Domain Expansion: Takada-chan,"risked being transfigured to high-five Mahito, allowing Itadori to teleport and land a Black Flash that heavily wounded Mahito. As a result, Todo temporarily lost his combat ability because the soul of his right palm was partially corroded. Meanwhile, Mahito evolved into "Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing," and Itadori had to face him alone. Ultimately, Itadori fully mastered Divergent Fist and landed a surprise blow on Mahito. With the help of Todo's information-gap bluff, a Black Flash reverted Mahito to his original form, leaving him heavily injured and unable to resist. At this moment, Pseudo-Geto arrived and absorbed Mahito. Itadori faced Pseudo-Geto and Sukuna's servant, Uraume, but the power gap was too large. Even with the combined efforts of the Kyoto and Tokyo students, and even Choso who came to save his brother, they could not defeat them. Everyone was frozen in ice by Uraume. Fortunately, Special Grade Sorcerer Yuki Tsukumo arrived. After Uraume was accidentally poisoned by the blood in Choso's attack, Pseudo-Geto chose to retreat with the Prison Realm and Uraume. Unable to pursue, Itadori had to temporarily recuperate and went to exorcise a large number of Cursed Spirits in Tokyo with Choso, who had changed sides to help him with all his might. Hard and White After the Shibuya Incident, the Jujutsu world fell into panic and chaos, and Itadori was once again sentenced to death by the higher-ups. Having returned to the country,Yuta OkkotsuYuta Okkotsu was designated as the executioner by the Jujutsu world and headed to Shibuya. Additionally, Naoya Zenin, who wanted to take the opportunity to kill Fushiguro and become the head of the Zenin clan,Naoya Zen'in'salso arrived in Shibuya. While Itadori and Choso were busy hunting residual curses, they were attacked by Naoya and Yuta in succession. The two were forced to split up: Choso faced Naoya, while Itadori faced Yuta. Itadori and Yuta exchanged blows for several rounds. After being restrained by Rika, Itadori was pierced through the body by Yuta. While unconscious, Itadori saw his parents and grandfather in his mind,and his mother had the same stitches on her head as Pseudo-Geto,but upon waking up, he found himself almost completely unharmed. Yuta, sitting by a campfire nearby, stated that it was all an act; while stabbing the sword into Itadori's body, he had also activated Reverse Cursed Technique to heal him. In truth, Yuta had returned at Satoru Gojo's request to protect Itadori and the students of Tokyo Jujutsu High. Subsequently, Fushiguro, Choso, Maki, and Yuki Tsukumo appeared one after another. Fushiguro told Itadori that Pseudo-Geto had launched the "Culling Game," a game where sorcerers kill each other. After discussion, the group decided to go to the Special Grade Sorcerer Tengen to learn how to rescue Satoru Gojo and understand Pseudo-Geto's goal. From Tengen, they obtained the "Back" of the Prison Realm, which could rescue Satoru Gojo. They also learned that they still needed the Cursed Technique of the Culling Game player "Angel," Hana Kurusu, to completely break the seal, and that Pseudo-Geto intended for humanity to merge with Tengen. Thus, after deliberation, they decided: Maki would return to the Zenin clan to retrieve Cursed Tools; Yuki Tsukumo and Choso would stay to guard Tengen; Itadori, Fushiguro, and Panda would seek help from the suspended third-year student Kinji Hakari; and Yuta would enter the Culling Game first to begin combat. Itadori and Panda staged a fixed-fight "bitter pill" ruse at Hakari's underground fight club in an abandoned parking garage in Tochigi Prefecture to get a chance to contact Hakari. Hakari saw through the fact that Itadori was actually from Jujutsu High due to a phone message from Kirara Hoshi and conversational probing, and the two began to fight. Ultimately, Itadori stated, "I am a cog, and I must fulfill the task I am meant to complete." His "passion" as a cog moved Hakari (who cannot lie to passion), and he decided to help them. Since the rules of the "Culling Game" include "If a player's score remains unchanged for nineteen days, their Cursed Technique will be stripped," Fushiguro proposed a plan to add rules allowing players to "transfer points to each other" and "spend points to withdraw from the Culling Game." Adding a rule requires 100 points. Thus, Fushiguro and Itadori decided to go to Tokyo Colony No. 1 to find the sorcerer Hiromi Higuruma, who had 102 points, to request him to add a rule. Meanwhile, Hakari went to Tokyo Colony No. 2 to find another sorcerer with 100 points, Hajime Kashimo, and Panda also went to Colony No. 2 to find "Angel." Culling Game Itadori and Fushiguro were separated immediately after entering the "Culling Game" "Curtain" due to the game's hidden rule of random teleportation. During his fall, Itadori encountered Hanyu, a rookie killer who can fly using a rocket pack made from her hair, but he knocked her down with brick fragments. Hanyu's companion, Haba, who can fly using a propeller made from his hair, arrived and began a fierce battle with Itadori. Itadori used a strategy to lure Haba indoors, forcing the top of his head to face him, then smashed his propeller with a punch, defeating him. Afterward, Itadori met Hanyu and Haba's follower, his former fellow townsman Rin Amai. Amai led Itadori to Ikebukuro to find Hiromi Higuruma. In a theater, Itadori saw Higuruma wearing a suit and taking a bath on stage. He proposed using Higuruma's 100 points to modify the "Culling Game" rules but was refused, and the two engaged in battle. Higuruma activated his [Domain Expansion: Deadly Sentencing], and Itadori was placed in the defendant's seat. Higuruma's cursed technique summoned [Judgeman], which can uncover all of Itadori's illegal acts and find evidence. Facing the charge of "entering the 'Shin-Vegas' pachinko parlor while under 18" brought by [Judgeman], Itadori claimed he "only went in to use the restroom," but was found "Guilty" and stripped of his cursed energy. During the fight with Higuruma, Itadori quickly requested a "retrial," but this time [Judgeman] brought the charge that "Itadori is suspected of killing a large number of civilians in Shibuya," and Itadori confessed without hesitation, as he attributed Sukuna's actions to his own inability to stop them. [Judgeman] handed down a verdict of "Guilty" and "Death Penalty," but Itadori's confession allowed Higuruma to see the goodness of humanity he once admired. Moved, Higuruma voluntarily deactivated his technique, added the rule "Players can transfer points to each other" using his 100 points as Itadori requested, gave Itadori 1 point, and left, leaving Itadori alone in the theater to reflect. After leaving the theater, Itadori, along with those also looking for Fushiguro,Fumihiko Takabamet up and together found "Angel" carrying FushiguroHana Kurusu, and the four of them later gathered at a hotel as a temporary baseWhen Fushiguro woke up after being unconscious for two days, he saw Itadori wearing a bathrobe and drinking red wine. The sorcerer "Angel" inside Hana Kurusu's body proposed that if they could Suddenly, "Angel" sensed a large number of people entering the barrier. Itadori's group left the room and went downstairs. In the hotel lobby, Itadori, who was bringing up the rear, discovered a stun grenade and kicked it away just in time. Immediately after, the group encountered U.S. Special Forces, who had been deceived by Kenjaku into intervening in another country's internal affairs, and a confrontation was about to begin. After dealing with the military, Itadori's group reunited with Fushiguro's sister, Tsumiki. Fushiguro transferred one hundred points to Tsumiki to allow her to withdraw from the game, but unexpectedly, Tsumiki used the points to add a rule that "players can freely enter and exit the barriers," declared war on the group, and flew away with wings. It turned out that Tsumiki had long ago been transformed into an incarnated vessel by Kenjaku using "Idle Transfiguration," and the ancient sorcerer "Yorozu" had been reincarnated through the cursed object channel Tsumiki encountered at Yasohachi Bridge. Since Yorozu could access all of the vessel's memories, she had been deceiving everyone from Jujutsu High from the start, all to find Sukuna. As Itadori, Fushiguro, and Angel prepared to pursue, Sukuna within Itadori suddenly uttered the word "Enchain" and seized control of the body. After knocking Kurusu unconscious, Sukuna tore off one of his own fingers that had been turned into a cursed object, stopped Fushiguro from attempting to summon Mahoraga, and forced the finger into Fushiguro's mouth. When Itadori came to his senses, what met his eyes was Sukuna, who had already taken over Fushiguro's body. Just as Itadori recovered from the shock, he was attacked by Sukuna and sent flying. After Itadori regained consciousness and stood up, he witnessed Sukuna, disguised as a conscious Fushiguro, throwing Kurusu off a tall building. Filled with grief and rage, Itadori roared and charged at Sukuna, questioning why curses like them insisted on filling the world with misfortune, only to be met with Sukuna's counter-question: "Why are you so weak, yet so obsessed with living?" After knocking Itadori down, Sukuna stated, "You should spend your whole life enduring the misfortune that befits your lowly status." An enraged Itadori stood up and declared, "Then you should also try enduring Sukuna quickly distanced himself from Itadori. At that moment, Maki arrived and teamed up with Itadori to attack Sukuna, briefly gaining the upper hand. However, Uraume arrived on the scene and froze the two of them. By the time Itadori exerted all his strength to break through the ice barrier, Sukuna and Uraume had already left for the discipline room in the ruins of the Zen'in estate to undergo "The Bath"—a pool of cursed spirits prepared in advance by Kenjaku and Uraume, originally intended for creating cursed tools—to completely take over Fushiguro's body. Itadori had no choice but to retreat with Maki and the others first. At the same time, he discovered that Amai, who was nearby, had used his Cursed Technique to catch Kurusu after she was thrown off the building by Sukuna. He then brought the two of them, along with Takaba and others, to regroup with their other companions. Shoko Ieiri also arrived in time and healed Kurusu. Afterwards, Itadori obtained a book regarding the Prison Realm from Choso, and everyone once again began trying to find a way to rescue Gojo. With the help of Angel's technique and the "Back" of the Prison Realm provided by Tengen, Itadori's group successfully rescued Gojo Satoru, who had been sealed for 19 days. Shinjuku Showdown Itadori and his companions saw Gojo off to face Sukuna and witnessed Gojo's death through the broadcast. After Hajime Kashimo also fell in battle, Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma simultaneously entered the battlefield to face Sukuna. (To be completed) Itadori used his technique to cut open the roof, revealing Angel circling directly above Sukuna. This time, Kurusu no longer hesitated and released the maximum output of "Jacob's Ladder" together with "Angel." However, Sukuna was not injured; instead, he rushed all the way toward Kurusu. Fortunately, Todo arrived in front of Kurusu just in time with his teleportation to block a "Black Flash" for her. As the battle reached a stalemate, Itadori recalled the past when Gojo first explained Domains to him. Then, without a hint of hesitation, Yuji Itadori activated "Domain Expansion." Sukuna was shocked to find himself in a space resembling a train station, and he had reverted to his appearance from when he possessed Itadori. Itadori himself walked toward him, cheerfully greeting him: "Let's go, Sukuna." Itadori led the perplexed King of Curses through the domain, visiting places where Itadori had regrets. Itadori shared his views on the "value of life" with Sukuna, trying to persuade him to leave Fushiguro and return to his own body. However, Sukuna was infuriated by the fact that Itadori pitied him and decided to kill everyone Itadori deemed valuable. After the negotiations broke down, the two fought again. Sukuna activated "Hollow Wicker Basket" to neutralize Itadori's guaranteed-hit technique. But to Sukuna's surprise, although Itadori's soul-striking attacks didn't wake Fushiguro at first, his persistent efforts eventually succeeded in persuading him within Fushiguro's inner world, causing Fushiguro to start doing his best to hinder Sukuna. Itadori seized the opportunity to attack fiercely, seemingly about to break "Hollow Wicker Basket," but at that moment, Sukuna restored his technique by mimicking Gojo's method of resetting a burnt-out technique and immediately prepared to expand his domain. However, he then noticed that Itadori's left hand was missing two fingers instead of the one he remembered. It turned out that Yuta's previous copy of Sukuna's "Cleave" did not rely on Sukuna's finger, but on Itadori's. At this time, in the rear, the newly awakened Nobara Kugisaki used "Straw Doll Technique: Resonance" on Sukuna's final finger, interrupting the technique Sukuna was activating. Itadori took the opportunity to hit Sukuna with "Dismantle," making him spit out the finger. Subsequently, Itadori successfully landed a "Black Flash," stripping Sukuna from Fushiguro's body. Itadori watched the dissipating Sukuna, intending to let him return to his body and start over, but Sukuna chose death and finally vanished in Itadori's hands. Subsequently, Fushiguro was sent to the Jujutsu High hospital. After he woke up, Itadori gave him and Nobara the letters Gojo had left for them before his death. The three then set off to visit Yuta Okkotsu and participated in the post-war review.Itadori fought through the entire battle, but at this point, he didn't say much and still had to get scolded.。 A few months after the Shinjuku Showdown concluded, the first-year trio—Itadori, Fushiguro, and Nobara—went on a mission. A woman's husband seemed to be cursed, his eyes becoming abnormally large. The three deduced it was the work of a curse user, took action, and successfully apprehended him. When the curse user was about to be taken away, Itadori saw him looking as depressed as someone about to be executed and comforted him, cheering him up, while recalling Teacher Gojo's high expectations for him before the final battle. Afterward, Itadori stated that Sukuna's finger was no longer dangerous, like an amulet, and tossed it into a Stevenson screen somewhere. The boy looked at his left hand with missing fingers, clenched his fist, looked into the distance, and took a firm step forward. In the extra chapter "Epilogue: Yuko Ozawa," Itadori returned to Sendai to organize his grandfather's belongings and reunited with his middle school classmate Yuko Ozawa, whom he had met on the eve of the Shibuya Incident. |

68 years after the Shinjuku Showdown, the Jujutsu world began searching for Yuji Itadori, who had been missing for some time, as he was humanity's final trump card for deterring the alien visitors, the Simulians. Nobara Kugisaki was later interviewed by Jujutsu world personnel, mentioning that the last time she saw Itadori was at Hana Kurusu's funeral. Itadori told her then that he didn't want to attend such funerals anymore and went missing afterward. Additionally, Nobara mentioned that due to Itadori's special constitution, he had maintained his youthful appearance. Yuta Okkotsu's grandson, Shinken Okkotsu, mentioned in his memories that his father went missing shortly after his sister Yuuka was born. Shortly before his disappearance, a maid of the Okkotsu family saw Shinken's father arguing with a hooded man with scars on his face, who was Yuji Itadori. The maid didn't hear the full context, only hearing Itadori say to Shinken's father, "It doesn't matter anymore." Yuta Okkotsu's granddaughter, Yuuka Okkotsu, and the Simulian Dabra chose to decide the future of the two races through a duel. While the two were dueling, Earth's sorcerers gathered to discuss how to handle the cursed spirits escaping Tokyo due to the duel. However, at this time, the Simulians also gathered at the venue intending to challenge the humans, as they did not believe humans would follow the duel's rules. Just as the battle between the two sides was about to break out, Yuji Itadori suddenly appeared below the venue and activated "Piercing Blood," timely stopping both sides from starting the war. Most of the humans and Simulians in the building were knocked unconscious by Itadori's "Piercing Blood," but the leading Simulian was unharmed and immediately jumped out of the window with an axe to strike Itadori. Itadori caught the axe with ease.In fact, Itadori used the ability Sukuna had displayed in Shinjuku years ago, using countless tiny "Dismantles" to catch the axe, thus remaining completely unharmed., and sent the opponent flying with a "Black Flash". Mino, who was present, then blamed Itadori, stating that because of his inaction, the severely ill Yuuka Okkotsu had to duel Dabura. Itadori responded, "Stop worrying about Yuji Itadori."This echoes Gojo's words from back then. Itadori's meaning was that if the Jujutsu world continued to dump difficult problems onto the "strongest" of the era as it had in the past, the new generation would never become strong enough to stand on their own., and immediately turned to leave, stating that he would handle the cursed spirits escaping Tokyo, and would step in to clean up the aftermath if Yuuka were defeated. Itadori soon arrived at the scene where the cursed spirits were escaping and unleashed a "Dismantle". The powerful slashes instantly leveled a large number of buildings in Tokyo, completely annihilating all the cursed spirits. Afterwards, the Shimulian Marulu Val Ulu Yelluri took Yuji Itadori to see the "Kalian" worshipped by the Shimulians. Marulu then told Itadori that he hoped to use his own cursed technique and another person's cursed technique to harmonize Earthlings and Shimulians, thereby creating a world without cursed spirits. Marulu sought Itadori out hoping he would serve as the representative of Earthlings to witness this harmonization. Itadori thought for a moment, then handed Yuki Tsukumo's investigation records to Marulu and expressed support for his idea. Marulu then took Itadori to meet the "other person" needed for the harmonization, and the two arrived at the soul passage where all souls on Earth go after death. Upon reaching the passage, Itadori was somewhat surprised to see a familiar face: the other person Marulu needed was actually his old rival, Mahito. Seeing Itadori, Mahito thought he was dead, and his joy was beyond words.Because Itadori had once said that every time Mahito reincarnated, he would kill him; as long as Itadori lived, Mahito did not dare to reincarnate.. However, he then realized a bone-chilling fact: Itadori wasn't dead at all, but had simply come to the soul passage as a living person.Mahito: Dad, you're not dead? You're still alive? Marulu then began preparing for the harmonization ritual and told Itadori that Mahito needed to be subjugated. Although Mahito was already consumed by fear, he did not intend to be captured without a fight. Marulu transported Mahito to a pre-planned space with cursed energy (since the passage for soul reincarnation lacks cursed energy). Mahito immediately transformed the space into the streets of Shibuya and trapped Itadori with a large number of stones. Thinking victory was within his grasp, Mahito prepared to activate "Domain Expansion" to finish Itadori. However, at the moment Mahito intended to activate "Domain Expansion", Yuji Itadori unleashed "Dismantle". A massive number of slashes instantly disintegrated the stones Mahito used to trap Itadori and cut Mahito into pieces. Itadori then casually tossed a fragment of Mahito to Marulu, and the preparations for the harmonization ritual were basically complete. |
Abilities
- Itadori possesses superhuman physical abilities (including strength, endurance, speed, and reflexes), learning capacity, and fighting skills.It is said to be similar toMaki Zen'inandToji Fushigurothe extreme physical abilities obtained through "Heavenly Restriction"and powerful cursed energy, as well as immunity to poison.It is speculated that Kenjaku deliberately used Sukuna's fingers and other cursed objects to secretly possess and cultivate Yuji as a "vessel" when he was a child, thereby giving him a special constitution.。
Non-existent memories (All men are brothers): Occurs by chance, causing the target to resonate with a certain aspect of oneself due to commonalities, instantly flooding their mind with memory fragments that never existed.[3]- Because Sukuna's attacks within his body are effective against the soul, an understanding of the soul's outline and a special attack bonus against it have been engraved on Itadori, making him one of the few who can damage those whose true form is a pure soulMahitojujutsu sorcerers.
- Due to not having an innate technique of his own for a long time, he has relied on physical combat, martial arts, and Black Flash all along.Furthermore, "Black Flash" is not unique to him but is a common low-probability technique that other jujutsu sorcerers, curse users, and cursed spirits can also perform., unlike the protagonists of other shonen manga who have distinct signature moves, leading readers to jokingly refer to Itadori for a long time as"a very strong bystander"。
- Spoiler Warning ->Due to Sukuna, when another's soul temporarily overwrites Itadori's body, their innate technique becomes engraved on Itadori's body, allowing him to use those techniques. (A different kind of muscle memory)
Cursed Technique
- Itadori himself does not possess any "innate technique" in the strict sense. The moves listed below are formed by Itadori's basic manipulation of cursed energy combined with his outstanding physical skills.
- Spoiler Warning ->This was the case until the Shinjuku Showdown arc.
"Divergent Fist"
- A technique taught by Satoru Gojo, where cursed energy is wrapped around the fist for a powerful attack, which can also create a secondary follow-up impact.
- In fact, this move originally stemmed from a bad habit Itadori had when first using cursed energy. It was pointed out by Aoi Todo during the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event, who believed its power was barely enough to deal with opponents below Grade 1, but wouldn't work well against Grade 1 and above, thus recommending against its further use, leading it to be replaced by the common advanced technique "Black Flash."
- However, by the Shibuya Incident and beyond, Itadori has become proficient in controlling the timing of using "Divergent Fist", and was able to use it unexpectedly against Mahito's Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing and Ryomen Sukuna。
"Black Flash"
- When the gap between the physical impact and the impact caused by cursed energy is within 0.000001 seconds, a spatial distortion occurs, putting the user into a "ZONE state" for a period of time. Itadori initially, under theAoi Todo's guidance, while fightingHanami。
- During the Shibuya Incident, Itadori broke the principle that "no sorcerer can use Black Flash at will," defeating Mahito with a Black Flash of maximum cursed energy. As of the latest chapter, Yuji's record is 7 consecutive Black Flashes, making him the record holder for the most consecutive Black Flashes among all characters (followed by Sukuna and Kento Nanami).
- By "Jujutsu Kaisen ≡", it appears Itadori is capable of intentionally landing a Black Flash with any regular attack at any time.
"Taido Manji Kick"
- Lowering the posture, utilizing the downward momentum of the body combined with a vertical rotation to deliver a kick.
- First used during the battle against Mahito.Unfortunately, the anime production cut this martial arts technique.。

Notes and External Links
- ↑ Ryomen Sukuna's derogatory term for Itadori, i.e., "Brat"
- ↑ By Satoru Gojo's wordsDimensional reduction strikelater became literal2D characters。
- ↑ The first time was during the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event, when Aoi Todo asked Itadori about his preferred type of woman. After receiving Itadori's answer of "tall women with big butts," he suddenly felt a resonance, and "non-existent memories" of being best friends with Itadori since middle school appeared in his mind (however, the official guidebook has confirmed this is just a gag); the second time was during the Shibuya Incident, when he fought fiercely with Choso but was defeated. As Choso was about to deliver the final blow, "non-existent memories" of Itadori dining with the Cursed Womb: Death Painting brothers suddenly surfaced, causing Choso to mistake Itadori for his own brother and leaving him in great distress.
