Yuji Is RELATED To Sukuna? - Jujutsu Kaisen Theory - YouTube

With the arrival of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, we’ve come across a fair bit of mysteries

and questions which we have for the series and also for the very interesting characters.

One of the biggest mysteries would have to be the death of Yuji’s grandfather which

we were shown to in the very first episode of the Anime. One of the things which really

stuck to me was his grandfather's last words to Yuji when he had told him to stop acting

cool and to die surrounded by people. This saying will come in handy throughout this

theory, but this is a bizarre one and not many people are fans of this particular theory

however it’s based around the off chance that Yuji could be related to Sukuna. Now

i’m just speculating here and from my previous theories on My Hero Academia, it’d be cool

to give it a shot on Jujutsu Kaisen.

This video will contain spoilers from the manga.

This video will actually consist of a really intricate theory from a reddit user a year

ago and another theory which will be solely mine, but even this far into the series we

are yet to understand what Sukuna truly is. His presence in Jujutsu Kaisen has been immense

so far and we got to see glimpses of what he is truly capable of. He is indeed a very

powerful character, but why is it that Yuji out of all people was able to consume the

cursed finger and manage to suppress Sukuna at certain times. Well without further ado

let’s find out if Yuji could be related to the king of curses.

To kick things off from this theory, is of course getting to know Yuji’s grandfather

a bit better, since I feel like his participation in Jujutsu Kaisen is much bigger than we thought.

Yuji’s grandfather went by the name of Wasuke Itadori, having similar facial features to

Yuji. As for the character of Wasuke is that he was very caring for Yuji, but he was very

stubborn getting mad at Yuji for visiting him everyday and for bringing him flowers,

since he felt like a burden to him however just like his grandfather, Yuji was selfless

and cared for him dearly. The only information we get on Wasuke Itadori is just him being

bedridden and telling Yuji to die surrounded by people and not like him. The mystery behind

Yuji’s grandfather is very suspicious, I feel as though Akutami wouldn’t just introduce

Wasuke just for plot convenience but instead is foreshadowing something major here, obviously

it’s not something we need to look too much into but for Yuji’s grandfather to say to

die surrounded by people, there is definitely something in which has happened to him during

his lifetime. Yuji barely knew the concept of sorcerers before even meeting Fushiguro

but he had immense strength enough to weaken a cursed spirit. This abnormal physical strength

is something just as suspicious as Yuji’s grandfather, because in reality there is no

way a normal human can possess that much strength. Just how cursed techniques are implemented

at birth just how Gojo had mentioned, Yuji may have been born with an unknown cursed

technique, which could be so disastrous that Yuji’s grandfather never mentioned it to

him in order to protect Yuji from following in the same path as him.

With Sukuna’s introduction in Jujutsu Kaisen, it was a complete gamechanger to the life

of Yuji. Since Yuji felt as though being a sacrificial lamb would benefit others but

realises he must protect himself and others to confirm victory. Ryomen Sukuna is known

as the King of Curses who was known to have been defeated over a thousand years ago to

the golden age of Shamans, but the best they could do was separate Sukuna into 20 different

cursed fingers, as he was that powerful he couldn’t be completely killed off. However,

Sukuna wasn’t always the king of curses, since it was mentioned that Sukuna was indeed

a human before becoming this special grade cursed spirit, as what he was like as a human

has not been revealed yet.

Anyways on to this very interesting theory which I came across on reddit which is very

plausible and could actually play a part in the actual storyline of Jujutsu Kaisen. This

theory comes from Quillshot7, if you guys would like to read through this theory be

sure to check the link in the description. Anyways this theory kicks off with, So I've

been thinking about who Sukuna could possibly be, as well as Yuji. It might seem like a

stretch at first, but I think that Yuji and Sukuna are actually one and the same. I'm

not usually a fan of this trope, but to me it seems like Yuji could be a reincarnation

of Sukuna. Quite a bit of this will be just hypothesizing, but to me, that's honestly

half the fun of theorizing.

First off, we have 20 pieces of Sukuna laying around out there. From what I understand,

they are essentially high concentrations of negativity that are used as cursed charms,

but are slowly ramping up in power, which leads to them attracting curses instead of

repelling them. We know that some of the pieces have been consumed by different curses, but

it appears that they were just consumed as power boosts (You have the high-grade cursed

spirit in the Cursed Womb arc that had absorbed a finger of Sukuna, which is probably why

it became so powerful in the first place. For all we know, that finger might have been

placed there as bait by some of the elder shamans, with some perfect timing when all

the high and first-grade shamans would be busy, forcing Yuji to be placed in danger

and likely killed off versus a high-grade cursed spirit.). And according to Gojou, several

other spirits have also consumed the fingers. None of these spirits seem to be under the

control of a fragment of Sukuna's soul, and are using it as a form of battery. But as

soon as Yuji eats a finger, he immediately gets bodyjacked by Sukuna, when it's a million

to one chance he just keels over and dies? Yet Sukuna didn't manage to bodyjack any of

the curses that ate one of his fingers, and not only that, buffs the curses that eat him?

It seems awfully suspicious to me.

So for the next part of the theory, we have the territory that Yuji got dragged into after

his "death". There's a few things that are suspicious throughout this whole encounter,

including something that was brought up in a recent chapter. First off, the contract.

According to Getou, Binding Contracts are something that must be done with yourself.

While it might be possible that Sukuna was able to do one with Yuji because they share

the same body, it is another odd coincidence. Also, I thought of an interesting question.

If they have two seperate souls, wouldn't it be possible for Sukuna to allow Yuji's

soul to die, then take full control of the body afterwards? However, if their souls were

starting to fuse together, it might mean that if Yuji's soul dies, Sukuna would die as well.

That is the point of the series after all - let Yuji eat 20 fingers, kill Yuji, thereby

killing Sukuna. This is also the first time we get to see Sukuna's "soul". According to

Mahito, the shape of the body tightly conforms to the shape of the soul. We essentially see

both Sukuna and Yuji with their souls manifested as bodies within Sukuna's territory in order

to have a conversation. And frankly, Sukuna's soul looks almost exactly like Yuji, minus

the old-school shaman robes and the tattoos. Just another funny coincidence. Also, it is

a bit odd that Sukuna has such fine control over souls, to where he can bring one out

of its body into a metaphysical territory, interfering with the cycle of life and death.

It could basically mean the man is immortal.

How this could happen is a bit tricky. It might be possible that the cursed charms are

what Sukuna left behind as pure negativity after his final battle, and his leftover humanity

reincarnated. We do know that Sukuna was a human approximately 1,000 years ago, but was

given his name posthumously. There might be some bizarre coincidence where the memories

remain on the soul, and contact with the negativity reawakened said memories as an alternate personality

that could be interacted with. Additionally, we have yet another coincidence where Sukuna,

in the one silhouette we have of him, doesn't look human at all. Looks like he absorbed

quite a few curses, almost as if it were one of his powers. Who else but our lovable MC

managed to absorb one of the highest-tier curses in the world just by eating it, and

grew two extra eyes immediately as a result? This portion is honestly just pure hypothesizing,

we don't have enough information on the story's mechanics yet to come to a conclusion. There

is also the question on why Sukuna wouldn't know, but that may be because of the pure

unlikeliness for something like this to happen, leaving him stumped for a bit. Or it could

be a bit of willful ignorance. Another oddity that I didn't know where to mention is that

Yuji is stronger than top-tier Olympic athletes as a teenager, pre-curse.

The intensity of Sukuna’s character is very vast, but for him to either be related to

Yuji or being one of the same it really does make us think. Yuji’s body from the get

go was special, making us believe that he’s just some mere human but in actual fact there

is much more to him. For example if we take Choso’s case, he is a hybrid between cursed

spirit and a human. So if we understand this scenario, what if the same could apply to

Yuji. If Yuji is related to Sukuna, then we’d understand the reason behind his immense natural

strength, but we still are yet to be revealed to Sukuna’s other cursed techniques. When

Gojo had mentioned to Yuji that cursed techniques have to be embedded from birth and that Yuji

doesn’t have one, but I have this great feeling that Yuji does indeed have a cursed

technique which even he doesn’t know about. So for Yuji being related to Sukuna in some

sense could be plausible, the appearance in which we tend to see Sukuna in the flashbacks

are in the form of Yuji but I’m not going to say it’s all about that. As for Sukuna’s

real appearance we are yet to see what it’s like other than him having multiple arms and

legs. Yuji and Sukuna are both very intricate characters in their own respect as much of

a cliche set up this seems like, I really wouldn’t mind if this happened and we get

to understand more behind Yuji and Sukuna’s mysterious past.

Anyways this video was an idea I had for a while ever since I had stumbled upon the theory

on reddit, be sure to check that out if you’d like to know more the link is in the description

below. But are you guys fans of this theory, Yuji possibly being related to Sukuna. I’m

still on the fence but I’m always open to these kinds of things. Sukuna & Yuji being

one of the same or related will have a massive impact in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Anyways
