Yuji and Sukuna’s Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen

The highly anticipated moment in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264 finally arrived, as fans had been eagerly awaiting the introduction of Domain Expansions as a technique. Each character showcased their unique version of the ultimate Jujutsu sorcery, except for Yuji who had yet to reveal his own Domain Expansion.

After a long journey of 263 chapters, the moment has finally come for Yuji to reach a higher level of strength. Through diligent training, slowly unveiled, all of his hard work has finally come to fruition.

Despite not knowing the full extent of Yuji’s Domain Expansion’s abilities, there is a compelling theory that it shares similarities with Ryomen Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine, which may have previously gone unnoticed.

This article is based on speculation.

Could Yuji’s Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen be similar to Sukuna’s?

The latest installment of Jujutsu Kaisen, chapter 264, could prove to be a pivotal moment in the Final Arc. The ongoing fight against Sukuna has been dragging on with no clear resolution in sight. However, the revelation of Yuji’s unexpected strategy may just bring an end to the King of Curses. According to a popular theory, Yuji’s Domain could ironically mirror Sukuna’s abilities.

According to speculation, the brief glimpse of Yuji’s Domain in the chapter gave viewers the impression that it was without a barrier. Currently, the only known barrierless domain is Malevolent Shrine. This can possibly be explained by the fact that Yuji did not cast a barrier, but instead used a hand sign to transport himself and Sukuna to a strange station.

It is likely that creator Gege Akutami intentionally included the comment about training with Atsuya Kusakabe as a misdirection to make viewers believe that Yuji’s Domain had a barrier. Although there may have been a barrier during his training, Yuji’s awakening through his 8 Black Flashes allowed him to greatly improve his Jujutsu abilities.

This suggests that Yuji has reached a level of Jujutsu sorcery that is comparable to Sukuna’s. This is because the Malevolent Shrine’s power is derived from its barrierless ability, which enables Sukuna to expand it within a specific range and destroy anything in its path.

Likewise, any additional traits of Yuji’s Domain Expansion would likely operate in a similar fashion, constraining Sukuna’s means of escape. Assuming the aforementioned aspects hold true, Akutami has crafted the ideal ultimate showdown between Yuji and Sukuna.

The encounter between the two would serve as proof of Yuji’s growth and realization of his potential. Moreover, it would suggest that Yuji is comparable in strength to Sukuna, given his origins. This would ultimately lead the Demon King to acknowledge him, just as he had done with Jogo, Todo, Gojo, and Yuta.

Concluding Remarks

Despite facing numerous challenges and enduring significant character growth, Yuji’s Domain Expansion finally came to fruition in Jujutsu Kaisen. Throughout his journey, he faced adversity and overcame it time and time again, whether through his own resilience or with the support of those around him.

Currently, the sole survivor from Team Jujutsu High is the pink-haired teenager. It was a perfect moment for Yuji to reveal this powerful ability. In chapter 264, fans were given a glimpse of Yuji’s Domain, leaving them eager to see what sets it apart and why it was worth the anticipation.
