Jujutsu Kaisen: Yuji Itadori may have cursed his teammates’ chances against Sukuna (& for a compelling reason)

After the publication of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 255, the manga depicted the Jujutsu Sorcerers finally seeing a glimmer of hope in their fight against the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. Protagonist Yuji Itadori took note of the progress and confidently stated that victory was within their reach.

Regrettably, Yuji’s words may have unintentionally brought misfortune upon his fellow comrades. This is evident as the manga promptly foreshadowed the potential resurgence of Ryomen Sukuna during the battle. The narration of the series strongly hinted at the same.

Please be advised that the Jujutsu Kaisen manga article below contains spoilers.

Did Yuji’s words seal the fate of the jujutsu sorcerers against Sukuna?

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 255, Miguel and Larue joined forces with the jujutsu sorcerers to battle Ryomen Sukuna. This allowed for the beginning of a counterattack, as Yuji, Maki, and Choso also returned to the fight.

During the situation, Yuji Itadori assessed the circumstances and concluded that Sukuna would not be able to successfully perform the Dismantle technique with just his top and bottom right hands. Additionally, Yuji noted that his Reverse Cursed Technique was still not functioning.

As a result, Yuji felt confident that their hard work and determination as jujutsu sorcerers would pay off in their upcoming battle, leading them to victory. However, little did Yuji know that his thoughts of victory may have jinxed his fellow jujutsu teammates. This was evident as soon as he uttered the infamous words, as the manga foreshadowed the return of Ryomen Sukuna’s Reverse Cursed Technique.

The manga detailed the events of Satoru Gojo’s recovery of his Reverse Cursed Technique after successfully executing his second Black Flash. As Sukuna was able to land his second Black Flash on Larue, the manga hinted at the possibility of the King of Curses also regaining his Reverse Cursed Technique.

If Sukuna were to recover his Reverse Cursed Technique, all the sacrifices made by the jujutsu sorcerers during the battle would be rendered meaningless. Wounding Sukuna’s heart and rendering his left hand useless were significant achievements on their own. Therefore, if Sukuna were to heal himself using the Reverse Cursed Technique, the jujutsu sorcerers would be back to square one.

Moreover, with the added ability to use his Dismantle technique after healing his hands, Sukuna’s presence would only exacerbate the already dire situation and greatly endanger the jujutsu sorcerers.

The manga has not yet confirmed whether Sukuna has regained his Reverse Cursed Technique. However, if this does occur, there is ample evidence to suggest that protagonist Yuji Itadori unwittingly cursed his entire team with his analysis.

Fans also observed that manga artist Gege Akutami frequently incorporated a black box layout on the page just before Sukuna regained control.

Therefore, based on the events depicted in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 255, it is highly likely that Sukuna will regain his Reverse Cursed Technique, potentially leading to the downfall of the Jujutsu sorcerers.
