Recently, a leak of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 revealed many important moments. One particular detail that caught the attention of readers was the identity of the person Yuji Itadori switched bodies with before his current fight with Ryomen Sukuna. Previous chapters had confirmed that Ui Ui, Mei Mei’s younger brother, had the ability to swap Yuji’s body with two people during that month, one of them being Kusakabe. As a result, fans were eagerly anticipating the reveal of the other person.
It was widely believed that Yuji had traded bodies with Satoru Gojo in order to enhance his growth, but the recent release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 has revealed that he actually switched with Yuta Okkotsu, a powerful Special Grade sorcerer. Looking back, this decision makes perfect sense as Yuta possesses a diverse range of abilities that would greatly aid Yuji’s training, particularly considering the challenges he was facing at the time.
Please note: This article includes spoilers for the series.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 259: Yuji and Yuta Body Swap Revealed
The main highlights of the chapter included the impact of Sukuna’s Fire Arrow, the tragic demise of Choso witnessed by Yuji, and the reappearance of Aoi Todo. However, a noteworthy detail was when the protagonist confirmed his body swap with Yuta Okkotsu. After previously switching bodies with Kusakabe, fans had speculated that Yuji would eventually swap with Satoru Gojo, given the latter’s immense power and innate talents.
Yuta ultimately proved to be the best choice for Yuji due to his abundant reserves of Cursed Energy, which are essential for constant training. Additionally, his ability to mimic other people’s Cursed Techniques can greatly aid Yuji in learning new abilities more easily. Given Yuta’s flexible nature and proficiency in such skills, it only makes sense for Yuji to have a body similar to his.
This further explains Yuta’s statement during his battle with Sukuna, in which he accused the sorcerers of cheating to become stronger within a month. It is now clear that they were utilizing Ui Ui’s Cursed Technique for faster progress.
The aftermath of this chapter
Undoubtedly the most talked-about scene from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 was the demise of Choso by the hands of Sukuna. Despite using all of his remaining strength to protect Yuji, Choso ultimately perished, further adding to the protagonist’s struggles. However, Aoi Todo returned once more to assist Yuji in his time of need.
The recent chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, chapter 259, also brought attention to the fact that Sukuna, although currently in control of the fight, is being affected by the continuous strain of fighting multiple sorcerers consecutively. With the introduction of Todo and the flashback of his conversation with Mei Mei, it is possible that he has a strategy in mind for this battle.
Concluding Remarks
The latest Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259 has confirmed that Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu switched bodies in the month leading up to the current fight against Ryomen Sukuna. Although many fans believed that Yuji had swapped bodies with Satoru Gojo, the revelation of Yuta being the chosen vessel has pleasantly surprised everyone.
