The intensity of the fight against Sukuna continues to escalate in the chapters of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’. While Sukuna initially appeared to have the advantage, the arrival of Yuji, Maki, and Team Geto has shifted the tide. However, Gege adds another layer of complexity to the story by revealing a significant upgrade for our main character in chapter 256.
Yuji becomes much stronger when he senses danger, especially after witnessing Sukuna’s devastating black flash that he uses against Larue. The sorcerers are also gaining strength and are able to effectively defend against Sukuna’s assaults.
Is Itadori Yuji the Key to Defeating Sukuna?
If Sukuna continues to use Black Flash on his opponents, we can infer that he is able to restore his Reverse Cursed Technique. As a result, the Jujutsu sorcerers who are fighting for their lives would face certain defeat. All of the sorcerers were at risk of being defeated by the King of Curses.
Despite the calamity, Yuji displayed immense bravery and successfully landed multiple attacks on Sukuna. In chapter 256, Sukuna unleashed four black flashes and began to revert back to his former self, causing alarm among everyone who witnessed it.
Yuji Gains New Powers after Using Black Flash
During the fierce confrontation between Yuji and Sukuna in chapter 256, Larue took advantage of the moment and utilized his abilities to seize control of Sukuna’s body and temporarily manipulate his heart. This surprise attack caught Sukuna off guard, enabling Yuji to strike again while Larue maintained control over Sukuna’s movements.
Before this moment, Sukuna sensed a Black Flash emanating from Yuji, which quickly materialized. Yuji channeled all of his power into unleashing one of the strongest Black Flashes in the history of Jujutsu Kaisen, his fists clenched with unwavering determination.
This Black Flash was Yuji’s greatest one yet, as it had revealed his full potential.
“Amidst a shower of black sparks, Yuji Itadori has awakened.”
Did Yuji Receive New Powers after the Awakening?
Despite not having any confirmation yet, there have been previous speculations and theories from other characters regarding the powers Yuji may have gained from his awakening.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s 256th chapter unveiled that Yuji was on course to surpass Gojo Satoru’s record for creating Black Flashes. This indicates that Yuji’s awakening is imminent and he could potentially master the use of Black Flash with ease, a feat that has never been accomplished before.
Yuji’s mastery of the Blood Manipulation technique, taught to him by his older brother Choso, was on full display. Although not yet a master of the technique, Choso believed that Yuji had potential to become a skilled practitioner after awakening.
During episode 12, Gojo subtly suggests to Yuji that he will eventually acquire Sukuna’s cursed technique. This is crucial for Yuji’s development as it suggests that he could potentially gain access to Sukuna’s formidable abilities, such as cleave, dismantle, and fire techniques.
Additionally, there is a possibility that Yuji will enhance his domain expansion in the series. It would be a significant moment if the protagonist of the series were to execute one of the highest levels of Jujutsu.
Fans are filled with anticipation for Yuji’s next moves in the upcoming chapter. However, their patience will be tested as JJK is going on a one-week hiatus. It remains to be seen what the author has planned for Yuji’s awakening, leaving fans on the edge of their seats as they eagerly await its reveal.
