Yuji & Sukuna MAJOR SECRETS Finally Revealed / Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 257

[@taylormademyself89]

So now yuji is shown to be related to kenjaku and sukuna two of the most powerful beings in jujutsu kaisen ... now he's looking more like real mc now 😅

[@zointisarenazi]

love how sukunu thing he worked hard for becoming this strong while he has 2 damm op special grade power bs

[@DanielNkusuwila]

Kenjaku is powerful but not the most powerful really.

[@AniSwiftTVRecaps]

​@@zointisarenazi tbf yuji isn't quite special grade yet as anyone with a domain expansion just kills him tbh. Then we have people like Yuki who can just increase her mass and out box yuji. He's getting there but he still needs a domain expansion, better rct, anti domain, and to actually learn is curse techniques cause he can't use blood manipulation that good without help and his cleave is slow since he has ro visual what's being cut before he cuts it unlike sukuna who just cuts the instant he touches u

[@nes_to09]

​@@AniSwiftTVRecapsYeah but all that was before he landed all 8 black flashes, don't forger what a few of them did for Mahito

[@scuppo]

@@AniSwiftTVRecaps how do you know he doesn’t have a domain? We still don’t know half of what he can do. Plus things are still being revealed. He can use RCT so it’s safe to assume he has a DE. This kinda parallels Ichigo vs Byakuya

[@supersoldier9649]

@@zennradio3028 LOL I love this thought fr, but unfortunately the point of a barrier is to trap you and stop escape. Basically, if Yuji gains DE he'll probably use it as an amp with some cutting action like Megumi with CSG against the finger bearer.

When you think about it, Kenjaku is Sukuna's downfall. . He harvested Sukuna's twin's soul & had it somehow reborn as Jin itadori . Mated with Jin and created yuji who was a vessel and held massive potential to surpress Sukuna . Creating the culling games and trapping and forcing all these sorcerers to compete which lead to Sukuna being jumped by everyone . Created the death womb paintings who are assisting in defeating Sukuna via Choso & Yuji Wont be surprised this whole plan and the Cursed tengen monster merger spirit was a huge elaborated plan for Kenjaku to defeat Sukuna

[@Arturoperezp]

The way I see it, Kenjaku only wants to get curse energy to its limit, defeating Sukuna would be just a thing that should happen eventually along that process

[@huseyinakyol1310]

I like the idea of cleave and dismantle being separate one belonging to Sakuna and the other his brother but what if the fire move fuga is the technique he got from his brother instead and the only way to access it is to open that box

[@BHsss13]

I was thinking that Shrine might be the only one belonging to Sukuna and him consuming people or curses would give him their Cursed technique. So it might be that Cleave and Dismantle are his brother's techniques but by them being twins he might be able to bypass some binding vow in which he needs to use Fuuga to open the Shrine.

[@aqeebshahbaz3306]

I think Sakuna’s ability shrine is a storage ability that whatever he eats he gains the ability of which could mean that the slashing ability that Sukuna has might have been his twin brother’s ability that he ate in the womb and would explain why fighting Mahoraga in the Shibuya incident that it looked like the flames where produced by his domain and the fact that he has the most op cursed energy as after he eats something he not only gains the technique but the cursed energy which could explain why itadori got a power up after Sakuna left his body and left as if itadori gained his ability like Gojo said he would he might have gotten 15 with of fingers of cursed energy and the now that he has eaten the death paintings it was said that he has blood manipulation possibly thanks to Sakuna’s ability shrine which explains why the technique was engraved in his body already after the 1 mount time skip possibly right in the beginning of the mount has he obviously trained using it and the fact that it took him a rediculas amount of time to gain Sakuna’s cursed technique even though he eats 15 fingers worth of fingers so in theory Sakuna could gain the ability’s of Gojo if he ate him it heaven Kanjaku’s or Geto’s body’s currently free and dead nit going anywhere if Sakuna goes their and eats it he might not only gain the anti gravity technique but also cursed manipulation in theory

your editor cooked on the visuals and timing

[@alexanderdumas-]

According to folklore, Sukuna was the founding patron of the Senko-Ji and Zenkyu-ji temples, introducing Buddhism to Hida Province, and he is worshipped in many other old temples in the Hida and Mino Provinces, both of which are in present-day Gifu prefecture. Furthermore, the Kurai Mountain in Gifu is worshipped as a shintaizan - a sacred dwelling of a deity. However, the real deity of the mountain is unknown, and one theory suggests that Ryomen Sukuna is its hidden deity.

[@kingdommccoy]

Shrine is a Storage Technique for CTs that are absorbed via consumption. Sukuna and Yuji eat curses and objects and gain their CT. Cleave and Dismantle are CTs in the Shrine. Fire Arrow and others are in there aswell. Like a chest full of weapons but the user carries the Cleaver and Dicer on them. When he changes to another CT he puts the Slashes up and grabs another. Or having Shrine....mainly using Limitless, Blue, Red, Purple but to use Ten Shadows he has to return Limitless to the Shrine. I believe he can use multiple CTs at the same time but using 2 at the same time would probably be a 50% power and/or efficiency. Yuta has Copy and Rika has Storage for the CTs that Yuta copies. But he can't use 2+ Techniques at the same time. Kenjaku stores CTs in his Cursed Brain. I think he is the only one to use multiple CTs because the brain is built different. Less chance to burn out. BUT I skipped the Culling Games because it wasn't interesting, didn't really get good until Meguna IMO.

[@kingkt9112]

I think you are right it would make sense that some people would be in the know about it as well considering the plan for ui ui to keep removing the bodies from the field

[@nicojones2960]

I think us seeing the scissor marks is like an insight into how sukuna can SEE the cut similar to maki seeing the slash before it happened. when sukuna said " oh so you can see it" or something like that

[@goku7955]

I have a theory why sukuna looks like that. Since sukuna eats his twin in the womb without using jujutsu sorcery so his twin should become a curse for being consumed by sukuna however the body was in sukuna's stomach and maybe underwent a transformation to become a curse but couldn't fully transformed into a curse and that let to sukuna looking like that

​@@madhusudhantilak9493in top of it, Sukuna didnt know he was fighting himself.

[@BHsss13]

It is not confirmed that Yuji's father is indeed the reincarnation of Sukuna's twin. It is only stated that Kenjaku ran into the soul of his twin, it might be that he joined that soul to Yuji and that might have given him Shrine. My own speculation is that Cleave and Dismantle might be the CT of Sukuna's twin and that Sukuna's Shrine makes him able to eat cursed techniques to then being able to use them willingly by using the Fuuga command, this might be being bypassed in the case of Cleave and Dismantle just because of how twins behave in weird ways when it comes to Jujutsu.

[@letgomyweirdo]

Also remember when Gege drew Piccolo from DBZ? I just noticed his arms look like that, pretty cool

[@alfonsofezza5863]

I think what Yuji has is the beginner version of Sukuna’s ct because he didn’t have the time to master and refine shrine, we see the target of Yuji’s dismantle/cleave, meanwhile we can’t see Sukuna’s target and he has learned how to expand his target to the world itself so I don’t find impossible for Yuji to be able to learn to make its target invisible like Sukuna’s or to be able to use the world slash like Sukuna(we see Uraume say that Yuji should have the same potential as Sukuna’s and by using all those black flashes he is starting to fulfill his potential, meanwhile Sukuna’s strength is going down for the effects they have on his control of the body and his ct output so it’s coming the time for us to see everything in his arsenal and what lengths of strength Yuji could reach by achieving his full potential, obviously I don’t think he can get at Gojo’s and Sukuna’s level in this fight, but he will push Sukuna to his limit and there will be some help from someone of the crew to truly terminate Sukuna) Theory: I think that we saw glimpses of what Shrine really is when Kusakabe and Yuji swapped bodies, we know that Yuji was conscious of having Shrine because he wouldn’t be using it casually in this chapter if he wasn’t(we even saw Gojo knowing he could pull it off and I think he told him)and I think that Shrine is related to visualisation, like Yuji couldn’t use Cleave and dismantle till now because he couldn’t visualise himself cutting things like Sukuna(with his awaking he gained awareness and he can use it, just not at the level Sukuna is), but he can visualise the outline of his soul and that of others so he can swap bodies. I think it’s related to how all the crew got better and why Yuta said they cheated, meanwhile Yuji said through hardwork and perseverance.(I know that those things could not be related, like they could have used a domain of someone that works for example like the hyperbolic time chamber or the sumo guy did with Maki, but it’s only a theory I made that most likely isn’t true)

[@empminelik]

I feel like from the moment Yuuji learn to imbue his punches with cursed energy and ended up with divergent fists (which is already unique and kind of a pseudo technique) he was kinda built to become the king of BF.

[@quinngros5651]

I always wondered why Sukuna's shrine opened up inside, what looks like, a human body. Maybe, that aspect of it, was inspired by being inside his mother when he first started down the path of his Jujutsu, and that first fight with Yuji, was in that location. Foreshadowing, symbolism....HELL YES!!!

[@debdal6]

Cleave and dismantle are applications of the technique shrine just how blue, red and hollow purple are applications of the cursed technique limitless. To understand this better go back to the panels/episode of megumi using chimera shadow garden for the first time against the finger-bearer special grade, to quote his monologue: "Envision a future me who can freely surpass his limits", "Surpass the limits of your imagination", "That is the interpretation of my technique". What we see in the manga or anime when someone uses a cursed technique is the application of their innate technique they are born with. Another good example coming to my mind is Nobara her innate technique is straw doll, when she uses her cursed techniques resonance and hairpin she is bringing forth her innate technique into the real world and thus is an application of her innate technique. Domain expansion is considered the height of jujutsu sorcerery because you are bringing forth your innate technique into reality all at once and not by specific interpretations or applications of it

[@debdal6]

What we didn't know till now is what is sukuna's technique actually called- "shrine". Sukuna can have more interpretations of his innate technique and thats what I think fuga is, another interpretation or application of his technique shrine. But this last bit is still my own theory because as seen with Yuji now a person can have multiple engraved techniques and also previously with yuta with his copy technique. It is fully possible that fuga is the interpretation of a different technique than mizushi/shrine which we are yet to see

[@TheArtisticGamer7]

Pretty sure this is confirming that Shrine is what we all expected years ago. A technique that allows its user to use the curse technique of someone they eat. Not only does this unilaterally explain how Yuji gets blood manipulation AND cleave, it also fits thematically cause sukuna has always been implied to be a cannibal and getting the techniques of people he has eaten parts of. Because Yuji has eaten body parts from the death womb paintings, and sukuna, it explains how he can use the base techniques of both. Dismantle is probably gonna come later and im sure the fugu fire arrow may as well down the line.

[@yminkai]

Well, unlike everyone else, it was already stated that Yuji was chosen by the sparks of black, so it would make sense if he was able to use black flash at will or at least have a higher chance of landing them than other sorcerers.

[@SasukeUchiha-yl1we]

Kenjaku is yuji’s mom, dad, and kinda grandfather now that’s crazy

The fire arrow probably takes alot of CE like the world cutting slash and that's why he hasn't used it

[@guilhermebacelar9443]

[@nits4829]

So sukuna's innate technique would be dismantle, but as he ate his twin brother he got cleave as well. Similarly, yuji awakened cleave and he ate sukuna's fingers that's why he has dismantle as well.

[@CrashMaster345]

I'm assuming either the flames were sukunas' and he gained slash/cleave from his twin or vice versa

[@nits4829]

@@CrashMaster345 I don't think so, cause sukuna had to open something to use it, while he can use shrine like its natural to his body.

[@noelminem7]

Yes, but also the chapter says that the technique is called "Shrine" So maybe after Sukuna ate his brother, "Cleave" and "Dismantle" merged and formed "Shrine", because it's counting them as only one technique

[@alelzarterl212]

I think the shrine CT makes it possible for a sorcerer to use cleave, dismantle and the fire arrow

[@nikolab.4065]

It's weird how Sukuna only ever infuses cutting techniques into his Domain Expansion, but never does so with the fire arrow. And he also has to "open" to use the fire. Yet, the fire arrow was something he was famous for back in the day, and not cleave or dismantle...

[@elatedquaid1279]

My theory on Yuji’s technique is that he can place those scissor marks on anything he touches and then remotely cut it

[@div.cortes_]

I can’t be the only one laughing at yuji’s dismantle with a scissors design

[@mo21003]

He definitely has dismantle too because remember in shibuya when dismantle and cleave were explained it stated that dismantle was the default slash and you would think since yuji just awakened the CT he would be using that but he’s not he’s been using cleave. And of course you can’t have the CT of “Shrine” without both cleave annd dismantle

I’ve always figured that if Sukuna technique was his shrine, it’d work like a barrier-less Ope-Ope no mi from one piece, and it gives the user manipulation of objects within the vicinity of the user to certain degrees. Even Fuga acts in the anime like he’s generating friction on himself to generate energy/heat. Definitely a shot in the dark but I like to think they added to the Sukuna vs Mahoraga fight meaningfully.

Funny how Yuta pulled out cleave and now Yuji is pulling out Sukuna’s whole technique

[@jaymistry1169]

Theory time: Maybe Kenjaku was trying to create something new (that goes along the lines of why he created yuji) with the birth of Sukuna’s twin as Jin. Which would also the be the reason Yuji’ grandpa leaving Jujutsu world. Jin didn’t got the results Kenjaku wanted (probably something to do with Yuji’s grandma) so then he ultimately took it upon himself(herself???) to create Yuji. Maybe he killed yuji’s mum (classic villain trope) and then took her place to specifically manipulate the baby in the womb using sorcery stuff (buddy was determined). Thats my crackpot theory. Because why not use soul of twin of the strongest sorcerer in the history to create something new, why have kid with it if not to correct the “failed” experiment.

With this Michizane chat right, is shrine not related to Utah's Rika? I also say this because Sukuna himself called Rika the Queen, where as he is referred to as the King so they are basically all part of one family with Utah and Gojo. explaining the curse energy reserves as well.

Love ur content

Finally, some respect on the name of Yuji Himtadori.

[@PhuongTran-hb8mg]

6:58 bet his brother got fire related technique since we know Fuga right?

[@hafrverwey6220]

Isn't somewhere along this chapter or perhaps the previous one, Choso mentioned that Yuji hasnt fully mastered the convergence. What was that reference to? before that yuji taps choso's hand which make me assume that choso somehow transfer his CT to Yuji by tapping his hand.

Yuji domain expansion: Blood shrine. Coldest name i could think of.

[@BHsss13]

Yuji has both cleave and dismantle, both of the cutting techniques are different in that one hits inanimate objects without curse energy and the other is able to cut entities with cursed energy. Him trying to cut both the pillar and Sukuna's leg confirms that he has both. My head cannon is that Shrine might be a cursed technique that lets you use other cursed techniques, might be related to the cannibalism side of things. So Yuji might be able to use Fuuga aswell, I don't really have anything to speculate if he has the same amount of techniques as Sukuna but at least he could have the techniques that Sukuna used while in Yuji's body or maybe just Cleave and Dismantle. The Fuuga argument is just speculation and depends on how he inherited Shrine and how Fuuga works within the Shrine CT, like if he inherited Shrine because of eating the fingers as Gojo speculated then he might have all of Sukuna's techniques, but if it was just because of him being related to Sukuna it might be that he just inherited Cleave and Dismantle to begin with and he might have to build up his Shrine to get access to different techniques via Fuuga as Sukuna does.

[@coolstarb.]

To think that this whole time Yuji was eating his uncle's fingers..ayo? 🤯🤨

Yuji: "Domain Expansion... Octagon Ring"

[@andrewsuomie8708]

Me personally. I don't think that form that sukuna has was for him eating his twin brother, because the chapter wasn't straight out said it mostly this Theory is speculated by people, But it does make sense. My guess On how he got this form. Was he found out a new level to jujutsu, like There's curse techniques, Maximum techniques, domain expansion, Then He figured out something to go beyond this and got a transformation from it, And I guess this form just makes sukuna use 120% of his cursed technique all the time., That's just what I think😅

[@_JOMOMA]

Kusakabe actually explained how to imbue your cursed technique into an object or how to turn it into a cursed object. The sorcerer basically has to be dying to make it permanent though.

[@Frostkille]

Kenjaku is canonically Sukuna's sister inlaw😂😂

[@MariahBunni]

Sukuna’s Black box is Shrine, his technique. Shrine allows for fire arrow.

[@Richchi001]

🤔... What if shrine is a kitchen and the cursed techniques embedded in it is kitchen related eg. Cleave (cutting), dismantle (diced) and then fuga, is fire for cooking, then eating someone is the final stage of food 🤔
