After the unexpected turn of events in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261, Yuta’s fate is left with three potential outcomes, all of which are grim for the character.
The shocking reveal in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 occurs when Gojo returns, but with a twist. Although the body is still Gojo’s, the brain and soul now belong to Yuta due to Kenjaku’s cursed technique. Yuta is now trapped inside Gojo’s lifeless corpse.
Despite Yuta’s return as Gojo giving the sorcerers a fighting chance against Sukuna, it is clear that his future as a young sorcerer is not promising. In Chapter 261, Mei Mei explains that there are three potential outcomes for Yuta’s fate.
One concern is that Yuta may struggle to maintain the equilibrium between his own mind and Gojo’s body. Gojo was not an ordinary sorcerer, but the most powerful one with his Six Eyes and Limitless abilities, which could prove too overwhelming for Yuta and potentially result in his demise.
One potential outcome could be Yuta inheriting Kenjaku’s cursed technique and using it for a period of time before ultimately meeting his demise. Being a descendant of both Sugawara and Fujiwara, Yuta is far from an average sorcerer. With the assistance of Rika and his immense amount of cursed energy, he may be able to prolong his survival, potentially lasting until the next round of Gojo vs Sukuna.
Despite surviving his previous fight against Sukuna, Yuta’s fate may still end in death. This round, Sukuna could kill him or the strain of Gojo’s cursed techniques could ultimately lead to his demise. In either scenario, Yuta’s destiny seems to be sealed.
Despite the possibility of Yuta surviving both Sukuna and using Kenjaku’s technique and living inside Gojo’s body, it may not be as positive as it seems. He may survive the Shinjuku Showdown, but he will never truly live as his own person in his own body.
Despite Jujutsu Kaisen being on a break and Chapter 262 not being released until next week, fans are still filled with concern for Yuta’s future and are eagerly speculating on which outcome will ultimately unfold in the upcoming chapter.
Based on the teaser in Chapter 261, it is believed by numerous readers that the second scenario, Gojo vs. Sukuna, is the most probable outcome. In fact, one fan on X even comments, “2 is more likely.”
It is speculated by some that Chapter 262 will unveil a fourth possibility, as Gege Akutami has a tendency to surprise his readers. One user expressed their thoughts, saying, “Gege’s inclusion of three uninteresting scenarios serves as a hint that none of them will come to pass and there will be a fourth option.”
Another individual makes a similar statement, claiming that it is all a ploy by Gege to deviate from the expectations of all three parties involved.
Akutami’s tendency to include surprising plot twists for his characters suggests that Yuta’s destiny may ultimately turn out to be completely unexpected.
