Sukuna’s Potential Win with Uraume as Final Vessel in Jujutsu Kaisen

After the conversation between Ryomen Sukuna and Yuji Itadori in chapter 265, Jujutsu Kaisen is preparing for a climactic showdown between the two. However, the character of Uraume has become increasingly scarce following this event.

The chapter revealed that Sukuna is indifferent towards others and incapable of developing meaningful connections with people. This makes his relationship with Uraume all the more peculiar, leading to speculation on Reddit that he may possess the latter’s body.

Yuji Itadori’s main priority is to retrieve Megumi Fushiguro, who is currently under Sukuna’s control. This means that if Yuji succeeds, Sukuna will either perish or lose his current vessel. If the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gege Akutami, intends to resolve the Uraume dilemma, it is likely that Sukuna will take over her body.

This article includes spoilers for the series.

Sukuna’s character consistently reflects a lack of concern for others and an inability to develop meaningful relationships, making his connection with Uraume a rare occurrence.

Despite Sukuna’s manipulative ways and tendency to kill or fight those who serve him, Uraume remains a loyal acolyte who seems deeply devoted to him. This raises the possibility that Sukuna may be deceiving others about his inability to form connections or that he values Uraume as a potential vessel in case of emergency.

The logic behind this is that Yuji Itadori’s ultimate objective is to rescue Megumi Fushiguro, who is currently being manipulated by Sukuna. If the main character does succeed in his mission, it would imply that the Cursed King will either perish or require a new host, providing an opportunity to utilize Uraume and once again display his self-serving tendencies.

It is possible that author Gege Akutami is deliberately withholding Uraume’s fight with Kinji Hakari in the manga, possibly in anticipation of a future installment. This decision could potentially clarify any discrepancies in the other fight, introduce new powers for Sukuna, and give the antagonist another opportunity to recover for a definitive showdown.

It is highly probable that the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen chapters will revolve around the intense battle between Ryomen Sukuna and Yuji Itadori. Additionally, readers can expect the following chapters to delve deeper into the protagonist’s Domain Expansion and its mechanics, as it will play a crucial role in the ongoing fight.

It was previously mentioned that Yuji will most likely attempt to rescue Megumi Fushiguro, despite facing strong opposition from Sukuna. This pivotal moment in the manga will ultimately determine Megumi’s fate and the consequences for Sukuna if he is unable to maintain control over his current vessel.

Final Thoughts

One possible explanation for the backstory of Sukuna and Uraume’s relationship in Jujutsu Kaisen could be Sukuna taking over Uraume’s body. This could also demonstrate Yuji’s heroic act of rescuing Megumi and their subsequent battle against the King of Curses.
