The manga Jujutsu Kaisen is set to reach its conclusion in September 2024. The story begins with the resurrection of Sukuna and concludes with the defeat of the antagonist, completing a cycle of the ongoing battle. With Sukuna’s defeat and the Jujutsu world beginning anew, the sorcerers will need to reorganize for the next era.
Although this ending raises some unresolved questions, the development of Yuji’s cursed technique remains the most crucial issue. We have seen the development of the cursed technique of a secondary character, but Yuji, the main character, has yet to showcase his.
Yuji is expected to utilize his cursed technique to combat the primary antagonist in the final battle. However, it is still unclear how effectively he will operate. In Chapter 265 of Jujutsu Kaisen, various scenarios unfold as Yuji reflects on his age. Yet, there still lacks a clear explanation regarding what that entails, even after the conclusion.
What we do know is that Yuji has attained a cursed technique after awakening Sukuna’s original curse, referred to as the “Dark Technique.” But is this technique fully developed or still incomplete? How does it operate? What is its name? We will not rest until we uncover the answers to these questions.
The Unnamed Cursed Technique of Yuji Represents His Growth as a Sorcerer
The Cursed Technique is the highest potential ability of any sorcerer. Only those with exceptional talent can bridge the gap between skill and mastery of this powerful technique. Even strong sorcerers like Suguru Geto, Hajime Kashimo, Aoi Todo, and Kento Nanami have yet to reach this level.
However, Yuji has developed this ability during his training prior to the battle against Gojo and Sukuna. Since he first consumed Sukuna’s finger, he has continuously demonstrated his growth as a sorcerer. Although progress may be slow, he remains persistent in questioning the purpose and value of his existence.
When it comes to witnessing Yuji perform his most potent technique, we cannot expect a straightforward resolution. The Cursed Technique is not merely a powerful skill; it often embodies the identity, beliefs, and inner struggles of a sorcerer.
For instance, Sukuna’s malevolence reflects a sense of arrogance akin to divine beings. His cursed form embodies a terrifying image as he brings destruction, reminiscent of a deity wreaking havoc and bringing death, portrayed through the image of a long, twisted spear hanging ominously.
Throughout the series, Yuji has struggled with the essence of his being, making it crucial to gift him a suitable cursed technique that could serve as a perfect conclusion to his character development. Gege Akutami may have already carefully crafted this to focus on different aspects of the story.
However, as the main character, the lack of explanation regarding Yuji’s cursed technique leaves his journey feeling somewhat incomplete. Nevertheless, we will not cease our quest for answers as Gege prepares for the next chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, as this situation has yet to unfold.
