Top Jujutsu Kaisen Battles Against Sukuna in the Shinjuku Arc
Aoi All
During the Ryomen Sukuna Raid, Aoi Todo effectively displayed his improved Boogie Woogie technique, now capable of executing 50 swaps per second thanks to the use of a Vibraslap. With the assistance of Yuta’s tuning, he was also able to increase the range of the technique through a binding vow. Todo skillfully utilized his technique to save his comrades from Malevolent Shrine and strategically switched positions to successfully strike Sukuna.
Despite Sukuna’s strategic revenge, Todo cleverly outmaneuvered him by utilizing Mei Mei’s crows in a triple bluff. Taunting Sukuna, Todo aided in Yuji’s crucial attack with Black Flash. Following this, Todo witnessed Sukuna’s unexpected response to Yuta’s sudden appearance, as the two powerful beings formed a miniature domain barrier, creating a tense and intricate showdown between Jujutsu Kaisen fighters.
Takuma Ino
During the fight against Sukuna, Ino utilized a powerful cursed tool that was previously possessed by Kento Nanami. This tool, which was initially a cloth-wrapped blunt sword adorned with a unique black dot design, is infused with Nanami’s Ratio Technique. Through this technique, Ino is able to strategically divide his opponents with precise lines and exploit their vulnerabilities at a ratio of seven to three.
Despite its initial appearance, the tool is surprisingly resilient and was able to withstand a forceful kick from Sukuna during their intense confrontation. Ino’s skillful utilization of the weapon demonstrates his strategic abilities and enhances his effectiveness in combat situations.
Higuruma
Higuruma’s decisive move in the fight occurred when he unleashed his Deadly Sentencing Domain Expansion. This domain differed from others as it didn’t rely on a guaranteed attack, but instead enforced strict regulations, making it impossible for opponents to directly strike Higuruma. He utilized his shikigami, Judgeman, to administer judgments while remaining protected. The allegations against Sukuna, such as his possession of Yuji’s body and attack on Gojo, were presented, creating a one-of-a-kind trial setting.
This twist brings in an element of suspense as Sukuna confronts potential repercussions, putting his cursed technique to the test. The result will either deplete Sukuna of his abilities or demonstrate his determination. Fans are eagerly anticipating this high-stakes clash amidst the other Jujutsu Kaisen battles in this arc.
Atsuya Kusakabe
Despite not possessing a cursed technique, Kusakabe’s skill has elevated him to the rank of Grade One Sorcerer, showcasing his formidable prowess. In chapter 254, his imminent clash with Sukuna promises intense swordplay and strategic combat. With his mastery of the New Shadow Style and ability to effectively utilize simple domains, Kusakabe aims to take advantage of any weaknesses in Sukuna’s current lack of a domain.
Despite the expected brevity of the battle, Kusakabe’s main goal remains unchanged: to weaken Sukuna and hold him off until backup arrives. This emphasizes his vital role in facing the King of Curses and his potential to change the outcome of the ongoing conflict.
6) Choose the Right Option
Choso’s role in the Shinjuku Showdown arc revealed his mastery of strategy and ability to adapt in combat. Despite initially facing the daunting task of countering Sukuna’s relentless attacks, along with Yuji, Choso rose to the challenge. His clever use of Supernova, creating a diversion with blood orbs, momentarily disrupted Sukuna’s focus and exhibited his tactical prowess.
Despite Sukuna’s overpowering strength, Choso was forced to rely on defensive tactics, using his blood manipulation to protect himself from Sukuna’s relentless attacks. Despite the intensity of the fight, Choso’s resilience and strategic abilities proved him to be a formidable opponent in the ongoing battle against the King of Curses.
Hajime Kashimo
In the Shinjuku Showdown arc, Hajime Kashimo, also known as the God of Lightning, used his cursed technique, the Mythical Beast Amber, to exploit Ryomen Sukuna’s previous weakening by Gojo. Despite Sukuna’s possession of Kamutoke from a Binding Vow by Yorozu, Kashimo proved to be a formidable opponent, easily evading any harm from Sukuna.
Despite Kashimo’s initial dominance, everything changed when Sukuna took over Megumi’s body. With the use of Dismantle, Sukuna easily overpowered Kashimo and emerged victorious. This showdown showcased Kashimo’s skill and Sukuna’s resilience, serving as a pivotal moment in the Shinjuku Arc battles of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Maki Zen’in
Despite facing Sukuna in the Shinjuku Showdown arc, Maki Zen’in proves to be a formidable opponent, displaying a level of strength that rivals that of Toji Fushiguro. Despite Sukuna’s ability to reverse cursed techniques, Maki’s unexpected strike with the Split Soul Katana causes significant harm as she pierces his chest. Her lack of cursed energy does not hinder her agility and deadly accuracy, making her a relentless foe.
Maki’s plan centers on weakening Sukuna in order to release Megumi’s soul, which is especially important now that Yuta is no longer in the battle. Viewers are eagerly anticipating the upcoming intense showdown, eager to see Maki’s exceptional fighting skills and the impact of her cursed tool. This particular fight in Jujutsu Kaisen guarantees high-stakes action and significant advancements.
3) Meet Yuta Okkotsu, the Newest Jujutsu Sorcerer
In an epic showdown, Yuta Okkotsu, a highly skilled sorcerer, utilizes his immense cursed energy and versatile techniques to confront Sukuna. By summoning Rika, the Queen of Curses, Yuta demonstrates his overwhelming power and strategic prowess. The bond between Yuta and Rika, along with his unique abilities, add depth to this unforgettable battle.
The dynamic between Yuta and Rika enables them to execute innovative and destructive maneuvers, forcing Sukuna to continuously adjust. Yuta’s determination and his deep emotional bond with Rika elevate this battle beyond mere physical strength, showcasing the unbreakable power of their connection. This clash stands out among the fights in Jujutsu Kaisen for its combination of sheer force and poignant emotional resonance.
Yuji Itadori
