Jujutsu Kaisen, the renowned manga series, is approaching its climax. With Sukuna returning to his original form after overpowering Gojo, and the subsequent defeat of Kashimo, the malevolent force of Sukuna is now unparalleled in the world.
However, in a stunning twist for fans, Yuji Itadori, the series’ protagonist, recently teamed up with Higuruma to face this formidable adversary. While Sukuna might currently be underestimating this duo, this oversight won’t last. As the central character, it’s Yuji’s moment in the limelight.
Evaluating Yuji’s Power Level
Currently, in terms of raw power, Yuji hasn’t reached the echelons of stalwarts like Sukuna, Gojo, Yuta, Hakari, or Kashimo. Many fans have voiced concerns over Yuji’s seeming underdevelopment, fearing an incoherent storyline should he suddenly overpower Sukuna.
However, one thing is undeniable: Yuji is evolving. There’s substantial latent potential within him, an aspect emphasized by Gojo’s prophecy that Yuji might someday rival his strength. Even though reaching Sukuna’s level in a single battle may seem implausible, it wouldn’t be the first surprising twist in the series. As the saga unfolds, expect Yuji’s growth to skyrocket, culminating in an exhilarating showdown with Sukuna.
The Potential of Yuji’s Cursed Technique
To stand a chance against the world’s strongest, Sukuna, Yuji needs a significant boost. With Sukuna’s true form being nearly invincible, thanks to his ability to chant incantations in battle and his devastating Dismantle technique, Yuji will require more than just brute strength.
However, hope remains. The series has hinted that Yuji might eventually awaken a Cursed Technique, possibly akin to Sukuna’s Cleave and Dismantle. Given Sukuna’s utilization of Yuji as a vessel, it’s plausible that his abilities have gradually infiltrated Yuji. If this surmise holds, Yuji will possess a potent new cursed technique. And, considering his adept learning capabilities, mastering it might not be too distant a dream.

Yuji’s Innate Resistance to Sukuna’s Power
Merely acquiring a cursed technique might not guarantee victory over Sukuna. However, an inherent resistance to Sukuna’s powers could be Yuji’s trump card. Should Yuji manifest the same cursed techniques as Sukuna, he might naturally resist Sukuna’s attacks. This resistance would stem from sharing the same cursed energy, granting Yuji an advantage in their confrontation.
Previous chapters showcased Yuji’s surprising resilience against numerous slashes, hinting at this inherent resistance. If Yuji can harness the same cursed techniques as Sukuna, his defense against attacks like Cleave and Dismantle would become considerably more robust.
Predicting the Outcome of Yuji vs. Sukuna
Narrative logic suggests that the forces of evil, embodied by Sukuna, must eventually be vanquished. While some fans might relish a surprise villain victory, it would contradict the story’s essence, particularly given its young target audience. Thus, the mantle of defeating Sukuna rests primarily on Yuji’s shoulders.
Whether Yuji evolves to match Sukuna’s prowess or collaborates with Gojo’s protégés to overpower him remains to be seen. However, it’s highly probable that the ultimate face-off will be between Yuji and Sukuna. When that epic battle ensues, Sukuna, the King of Curses, may very well find his demise at Yuji’s hands.
