The latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen (chapter 264) was just released and left readers on the edge of their seats with Yuji Itadori’s debut of his Domain Expansion. Fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter to see the full extent of his abilities, especially in the current setting of a train station where Yuji and Sukuna are located. However, a recent theory on Reddit suggests that this may be linked to Kenjaku’s plans for merging with Yuji.
Despite his death at the hands of Takaba and Yuta Okkotsu in battle, Kenjaku’s legacy continues to be present in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. This is evident through the merger and the final words of his will, which have been “passed down”. As a result, many have linked these words to Yuji as he is Kenjaku’s son, and this emerging theory may play a significant role in resolving the three major conflicts currently unfolding in the story.
Please note that this article includes spoilers for the series.
New theory suggests that Yuji’s Domain could be connected to Kenjaku’s merger
According to a theory on Reddit, Yuji Itadori’s newly revealed Domain Expansion in chapter 264 of the manga may have a connection to Kenjaku’s merger. This is due to the fact that the ancient sorcerer is believed to be Yuji’s mother, who resided in Kaori Itadori’s body, and that Yuji’s birth was orchestrated by Kenjaku.
Another significant detail is that Kenjaku, just moments before his death at the hands of Yuta Okkotsu, hinted at the passing of his will, which has not yet been explained in the manga. This raises the possibility that Yuji’s ultimate form, his Domain, may hold the answer to achieving the merger and ultimately fulfilling Kenjaku’s vision.
It is possible that author Gege Akutami is foreshadowing a situation in which Yuji’s victory over Sukuna triggers the merger and fulfills Kenjaku’s plan. This aligns with the popular theory that the merger will result in a formidable Curse, serving as the ultimate antagonist in the story.
The Relationship of Kenjaku and Yuji
The Culling Games arc of Jujutsu Kaisen revealed that Kenjaku was actually Yuji Itadori’s mother, causing a huge surprise for fans. Through a flashback, Akutami showed how Kenjaku took possession of Kaori Itadori’s body and gave birth to Yuji with a man named Jin Itadori. It was later revealed that Jin was the reincarnation of Ryomen Sukuna’s twin brother.
One of the most well-known and debated aspects of their relationship is the fact that the manga never delves into this topic between the two characters. As of now, Yuji remains unaware that Kenjaku is actually his mother and is also unaware of his familial ties to Sukuna. This could potentially create division among fans if it is not addressed before the manga’s conclusion.
Reflection
It is highly likely that the merger will occur in Jujutsu Kaisen and Yuji Itadori will have a significant role to play in this situation. Therefore, the potential impact of his Domain Expansion should be considered.
