Recently, Jujutsu Kaisen revealed a shocking revelation about the link between Yuji Itadori and the powerful Sukuna. It has been discovered that their connection runs deeper than just the transfer of abilities. Gojo Satoru initially hypothesized that Sukuna’s extended stay in Yuji’s body could permanently imprint his Cursed Technique onto the protagonist.

Despite previous predictions, the latest chapter reveals a complex and unexpected twist. In Chapter 257, it is revealed that Yuji not only possesses the Blood Manipulation Cursed Technique inherited from his cursed womb, but also a second Cursed Technique known as Shrine. Surprisingly, this Shrine Cursed Technique is identical to Sukuna’s own, defying Gojo’s initial assumptions. This unexpected development has piqued the interest and curiosity of readers.

The chapter explores the roots of Yuji’s extraordinary powers, uncovering a significant familial tie to the Curse King. According to the latest chapter, Sukuna devoured his own twin in the womb, and that twin’s soul was reborn as Yuji’s father, Jin Itadori.

By establishing Yuji as Sukuna’s nephew and inheriting the Shrine Cursed Technique from his father, who was the reincarnation of Sukuna’s twin, it is clear that the former has a strong ancestral connection that explains his ability to wield the same power as the King of Curses.

Despite Satoru Gojo’s accurate prediction about Yuji Itadori, the outcome did not match his initial thoughts. While Gojo had anticipated Yuji inheriting Sukuna’s Cursed Technique directly, it was later revealed that there was an unexpected connection between the two.

Yuji’s proficiency in mastering the Shrine technique, which allows him to mimic Sukuna’s power, confirms Gojo’s belief that there is a connection between Yuji’s abilities and Sukuna’s.

The fact that Itadori is Sukuna’s nephew and has inherited the Shrine Cursed Technique from his father adds an intriguing element to the story. This unexpected revelation not only uncovers Yuji’s true identity, but also brings a new level of complexity to the ongoing clash between him and Sukuna.

Despite Gojo’s initial prediction not coming to fruition, the chapter confirmed his intuition about a potential link between the protagonist and the Curse King, even though Yuji did not acquire Sukuna’s Cursed Technique as expected.

Yuji’s newly acquired abilities of the Shrine technique, which mirror Sukuna’s powers, have elevated him into a formidable adversary. This progression paves the way for an intriguing examination of its effects on the series’ direction.
