Jujutsu Kaisen has been delivering intense moments recently, captivating fans with exciting developments. The series is clearly approaching its climax, with each chapter building up the anticipation. Yuji Itadori's recent transformation has elevated him to a whole new level, showcasing his ability to even wound Ryomen Sukuna significantly in battle.
While Yuji gained significant powers, including two cursed techniques, his growth goes beyond that. The rigorous timeskip training proved vital as he unveiled a new technique in JJK chapter 258.
Yuji Itadori's Training Regimen
The Arduous Pre-Shinjuku Showdown Training
Yuji underwent rigorous training during the timeskip, arguably his most challenging yet, right before the pivotal Shinjuku Showdown arc. To stand a chance against Sukuna, he needed a significant power boost. While he has made impressive progress, Yuji's journey to reach his full potential is far from over. Notably, his training involved learning new techniques with the help of others, such as Blood Manipulation acquired by consuming death Paintings 4 to 9. This granted him the ability to manipulate his blood and utilize Reverse Cursed Technique without the usual drawbacks.
Another notable skill Yuji mastered during this period is tied to the soul swap technique of Ui Ui, performed on Kusakabe and Yuji. This led to the acquisition of additional powers, enhancing his combat abilities significantly.
Unveiling the New Shadow Style: Simple Domain
Yuji's Defense Mechanism Against Sukuna's Attacks
In JJK chapter 258, Yuji displayed the New Shadow Style: Simple Domain, a potent defensive technique. When faced with Sukuna's formidable domain, Yuji attempted to shield himself with a Simple Domain. While it provided some protection, it ultimately succumbed to the onslaught, resulting in Yuji sustaining injuries. Nevertheless, his mastery of the New Shadow Style reflects his growth and potential for future advancements, potentially even a domain expansion.
The Awakening of Yuji Itadori
Yuji's Ascension to Unprecedented Power
Yuji's recent awakening introduced a second cursed technique, the Shrine or Mizushi, empowering him to rival Sukuna and enhancing his physical prowess significantly. Regarded as one of the strongest sorcerers, Yuji's awakening likely amplifies his Simple Domain's capabilities, setting the stage for thrilling confrontations ahead. As Yuji continues to unveil new powers, fans eagerly anticipate the unfolding of his full potential and the narrative's future directions.
Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts can follow the series through official platforms like Viz Media, Shonen Jump, and Manga Plus app. The upcoming chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen 259, is scheduled for release on May 12, 2024.
