Kinji Hakari, a third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, is one of the most enigmatic characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. Despite his pivotal role in the story, little is known about him. His renowned Cursed Technique, Private Pure Love Train, sets him apart from others as it revolves around luck and probability.
Despite his powerful capabilities as a sorcerer, Hakari’s battles have recently been lacking focus. This has led fans to speculate whether he might meet his demise off-screen, possibly at the hands of Uraume. However, there is no doubt that Hakari is still a force to be reckoned with.
The Enigma of Kinji Hakari’s Disappearance from the Jujutsu Kaisen Storyline

Despite being a strong and influential character in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, Kinji Hakari’s absence from the storyline for a few chapters has left readers and viewers perplexed. Many are curious about what he could be doing in the ongoing battle against Uraume, as his whereabouts and actions remain a mystery.
Despite being a major plot point, Hakari’s physical state gradually deteriorates throughout the story. With each appearance, he appears even more battered and bruised than before, with fans noticing obvious signs such as open wounds, scars, and lingering frostbite on his skin. What perplexes fans is why Hakari’s Cursed Technique does not automatically heal his injuries.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Uraume’s Deadly Plan to Defeat Hakari Kinji

Despite Uraume’s intense fascination with Hakari, he may have stumbled upon a strategy to defeat him by exploiting the vulnerabilities in his Cursed Technique.
The central concept of this idea is that Uraume sees Hakari not as a person, but as a “beast.”If this change in perspective occurred, it suggests that Uraume may have identified weaknesses in Hakari’s healing abilities that he could exploit. Rather than attempting to kill Hakari outright with injuries that would quickly heal, Uraume would instead inflict a series of non-fatal wounds to prevent his automatic healing.

From this perspective, the theory of “death by a thousand cuts”becomes more logical. If Uraume is able to handle multiple minor injuries that do not trigger an automatic healing response, it will be impossible for Hakari to be revived from certain death because of the overwhelming damage, unless time is allowed for recovery.
Exploring the Weaknesses Caused by Hakari’s Cursed Technique in Jujutsu Kaisen

One crucial aspect of this theory that must not be overlooked is the extent of Hakari’s Cursed Technique. While he possesses the ability to self-heal from injuries, it appears that this only occurs in cases of severe damage, such as losing limbs or fracturing bones. This suggests that Hakari’s method may not be effective for minor injuries, potentially making him vulnerable to a gradual but certain attack.
Akutami’s decision to keep Hakari out of the main plot could foreshadow his fate. By withholding his presence, there may be a significant twist in the future when he returns, and the Jujutsu Sorcerers discover his potential impending death.
Concluding Remarks

It is possible that the ending of the Jujutsu Kaisen storyline will involve Hakari’s death. His mysterious disappearance and declining health, along with Uraume’s plans to exploit the limitations of his Cursed Technique, suggest that the future may be bleak for this powerful jujutsu sorcerer. As events unfold, it is uncertain whether Hakari’s fate is predetermined or if he will find a way to overcome the challenges ahead.
