The update comes from Japan as the most recent volume of Jujutsu Kaisen has surfaced. The volume contains part of the current Jujutsu Kaisen arc featuring Sukuna. Readers will know Yuta and Yuji faced down with the curse in a two-on-one battle recently. And according to the manga, Yuta is stronger than Hikari or anyone else who isn’t Gojo Satoru.
“He obliterated a cockroach cursed spirit using mouth to mouth! He’s only second to gojo satoru in unusual abilities. He doesn’t have interest in himself,” the blurb reads.
First, ew. There is no getting around the first line of this description. During the Culling Game arc, yes – Yuta did lock lips with a massive cockroach to kill it. The sorcerer will go any length to see a mission through once his mind is set. Time and again, Yuta had gone into battle with little thought of himself on hand. And of course, that hasn’t changed one bit. Yuta wants to take down Sukuna for many reasons, but one of the biggest comes down to Gojo. As far as we know, the world’s strongest sorcerer was killed by Sukuna, and Yuta wants to avenge his teacher.
