Recently leaked, chapter 263 of Jujutsu Kaisen highlights the ongoing contrast between Yuji Itadori and his mentor, Satoru Gojo. This difference is evident in their respective approaches to battling Ryomen Sukuna. While Gojo fearlessly fought the King of Curses without consideration for his apprentice, Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji has consistently prioritized saving him.
Yuji’s humanity has been a prominent topic surrounding his character in Jujutsu Kaisen, sparking numerous debates within the fandom about the morality of his actions in that world. On the other hand, Gojo’s approach is driven by his own selfish ambitions and often yields less favorable outcomes, further highlighting the stark contrast between the two characters.
Please note that this article includes spoilers for the series.
Explaining the differences between Yuji and Gojo’s ways of helping people in Jujutsu Kaisen
In the recently leaked chapter 263, it is revealed that Yuji Itadori utilizes Dismantle to extract Ryomen Sukuna’s soul from Megumi Fushiguro’s body, further showcasing his unique abilities compared to Satoru Gojo. However, it was previously demonstrated that Gojo was willing to harm his own student’s body in order to defeat Sukuna, showing no hesitation in potentially killing him.
Despite the ongoing exploration of goodness and selfishness in author Gege Akutami’s manga, some fans argue that Gojo’s approach is superior due to his demonstrated superiority over Yuji. However, this reasoning overlooks the fact that Gojo was inherently gifted with traits that contributed to his power.
Additionally, the fate of characters such as Riko Amanai, Suguru Geto, and even individuals like Nobara Kugisaki and Megumi Fushiguro serves as evidence of Satoru’s repeated failures throughout the series.
As such, it can be argued that Yuji’s unwavering humanity and selfless nature may be the key to reforming the Jujutsu society. Despite facing formidable adversaries like Sukuna, Yuji continues to prioritize the safety of his comrades and the vulnerable, demonstrating the extent of his determination to assist others.
Yuji’s Journey as the Main Character

Despite the undeniable fact that Yuji Itadori is the main character of Jujutsu Kaisen, his role has been heavily criticized by a significant portion of the fandom. Many believe that he is often overshadowed by characters like Satoru Gojo and lacks the same level of importance to the plot. However, this could potentially change by the conclusion of the manga.
The Shinjuku arc holds significant importance in altering this viewpoint, particularly with the surprising reveal that Sukuna and Yuji are actually related as uncle and nephew. Author Gege Akutami will likely have to provide a suitable conclusion for his protagonist that aligns with this familial connection, possibly leading to Yuji’s victory over Sukuna.
Concluding Remarks
Despite Satoru Gojo being the more powerful sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen, it is Yuji Itadori’s compassionate nature towards others that could ultimately make the difference in saving Megumi Fushiguro. It is yet to be determined if this approach will lead to Yuji’s success where Gojo had previously failed.
