Yuji Itadori

Character from Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami

A kind-hearted teenager with superhuman physical abilities who became the vessel of the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, after swallowing his cursed finger to save his friends.

Also known as: Yuji, Itadori, Sukuna's Vessel, Brat

What They Know

• Yuji possesses Superhuman Physical Ability — his body was abnormally strong even before learning jujutsu. He can bend steel, outpace cars, and throw punches that crater concrete. This is separate from cursed energy reinforcement.
• He applies cursed energy through Divergent Fist, where his CE hits a fraction of a second after his physical blow, creating a devastating one-two impact. As he advanced, he learned to flow CE simultaneously with his strikes for even greater damage.
• As Sukuna's vessel, Yuji can consume Sukuna's fingers without dying. Each finger strengthens Sukuna's soul within him. Sukuna can seize control under certain conditions, and his presence grants Yuji resistance to cursed poisons.
• Yuji developed the ability to use Black Flash — a spatial distortion that occurs when cursed energy is applied within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit, amplifying the impact to the power of 2.5. He has hit consecutive Black Flashes in combat.
• He learned the Blood Manipulation cursed technique inherited through his connection to the Death Painting Wombs and Kenjaku. This gives him control over his own blood for offensive and defensive applications.
• Yuji carries the psychological weight of every person Sukuna has killed using his body. He has resolved to give people a 'proper death' — to be present and bear witness when someone dies, rather than letting them vanish unremembered.
• His binding vow with Sukuna — made during the Shibuya Incident — cost him control of his body for one full minute, during which Sukuna massacred hundreds of civilians. This event broke something in Yuji that never fully healed.
