Jujutsu Kaisen’s Standout Character in the Final Arc is Not Yuji

With the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen’s final arc approaching, it has become clear that Yuta Okkotsu is the standout player in this last part of the story.

Despite being the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji does not always receive the spotlight. This serves the story well, for the most part. By not making Yuji the focal point, the plot is able to delve into the development of other characters in greater depth.

In the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, the highly anticipated fight between Gojo and Sukuna finally takes place. However, after Gojo’s passing, Yuta steps up and carries on his teacher’s legacy, ultimately emerging as the hero of the day.

Despite facing Sukuna numerous times during the fiasco, Yuta is consistently defeated. This causes fans to question his character. However, in Chapter 267, we discover the true impact of his actions in the final fight.

In addition to battling Sukuna and possessing Gojo’s body, Yuta has devised multiple backup strategies to vanquish the King of Curses. These include capturing Toge’s Cursed Speech on tape, orchestrating Hana’s unexpected arrival, and ultimately consuming Yuji’s finger in order to replicate Shrine’s powers and eliminate Sukuna’s final finger.

Although Yuta was not able to defeat Sukuna, he still plays a crucial role in the events. In fact, his contribution to the fight surpasses that of many others, including formidable characters such as Kashimo and Maki. As a result, Yuta earns the title of MVP for Jujutsu Kaisen’s final arc.

Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen fully support this statement. In fact, one user even tweeted, “Yuta Okkotsu is truly the mastermind behind the Shinjuku arc.”

Another person commented, “YUTA OKKOTSU is the MVP of the SHINJUKU SHOWDOWN.”

“The third person shared that Yuta Okkotsu was the mastermind behind the Shinjuku arc.”

“According to a fourth individual, Yuta and Todo deserve all the credit for the success of this arc. Their strategic planning was essential in bringing the fight to this level and completely outsmarting the Generational Sorcerers. This was shared in a tweet by a Twitter user.

Finally, in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 267, Sukuna is ultimately defeated and Nobara’s surprising return causes controversy. The manga will come to a conclusion on September 30, 2024, with only four remaining chapters.
