The theory surrounding Yuji Itadori’s potential connection with Sukuna has long been a topic of intrigue among fans of Gege Akutami’s manga, Jujutsu Kaisen. Over time, subtle hints dropped by the author fueled speculation that the protagonist could indeed share a familial bond with the King of Curses. The revelation that Yuji’s lineage remained concealed for much of the narrative further fueled this theory, prompting fans to eagerly anticipate the unveiling of the truth.
Chapter 257 of Jujutsu Kaisen finally provided fans with the long-awaited confirmation regarding the relationship between Sukuna and Yuji. Surprisingly, it was revealed that Sukuna is Yuji’s uncle, as Yuji’s father, Jin Itadori, harbored the soul of Sukuna’s twin brother. The complexity of this familial connection arises from the fact that Sukuna consumed his twin brother in the womb, leading to the reincarnation of his soul within Jin.
Adding another layer to this intricate lineage is the involvement of Kenjaku, one of the series’ prominent antagonists. Kenjaku utilized the deceased body of Jin’s wife, Kaori Itadori, as a vessel to conceive and birth Yuji. Thus, Yuji emerges not only as the son of Sukuna’s twin brother but also as a descendant of Kenjaku, further complicating his ancestry in unexpected ways.
The motive behind Kenjaku’s decision to procreate with Sukuna’s twin remains shrouded in mystery, leaving readers to speculate on its potential significance in the overarching narrative. While the specifics of Kenjaku’s plan are yet to be unveiled, the revelation of Yuji’s convoluted lineage adds a layer of depth to the story, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the intricate web of relationships within the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
As the manga progresses, fans eagerly anticipate further exploration of this newfound family dynamic, anticipating how it may impact Yuji’s journey and the overarching conflict. Amidst the unfolding drama and revelations, one thing remains certain – Jujutsu Kaisen continues to deliver captivating storytelling that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
