A New Era Dawns: Gege Akutami Officially Confirms Adult Yuji’s Unprecedented Power Level

The final showdown against Ryomen Sukuna in the Shinjuku Showdown arc of Jujutsu Kaisen has been nothing short of a spectacle, redefining the limits of jujutsu sorcery and captivating fans worldwide. Amidst this climactic battle, the series’ protagonist, Yuji Itadori, has undergone a monumental transformation, shedding his former role as a vessel to become one of the most formidable sorcerers in the world. In a recent and highly anticipated confirmation, mangaka Gege Akutami has officially unveiled the full scope of Yuji’s power level, solidifying his place among the elite. This revelation not only provides clarity on the protagonist’s astonishing growth but also signals a new chapter for the Jujutsu world, where Yuji now carries the immense weight of Gojo’s legacy.

For a long time, Yuji’s strength was defined by his incredible physical prowess and his role as Sukuna’s vessel. However, a series of recent events and official statements from the creator have cemented that he is now a force to be reckoned with in his own right, possessing a unique and devastating arsenal of cursed techniques that rival even the King of Curses. The details of his newfound abilities are a testament to his relentless training and unbreakable spirit, positioning him to lead the next generation of jujutsu society.

From Vessel to Sorcerer: The Unveiling of Yuji’s Cursed Techniques

The most significant revelation about Yuji’s power comes from the official confirmation that he now possesses not one, but two distinct cursed techniques. In a move that surprised many fans, it was confirmed that Yuji consumed Death Painting Wombs 4-9 during the timeskip between the Culling Game and the Shinjuku Showdown arc. This act granted him access to the cursed technique of Blood Manipulation. With this power, Yuji can now manipulate his own blood, not only to aid in healing through Reverse Cursed Technique but also for combat, utilizing techniques like Piercing Blood to surprise his opponents.

However, the most groundbreaking development is the awakening of Yuji’s second cursed technique: Shrine. This technique, inherited directly from Ryomen Sukuna due to their shared history as a single body, signifies Yuji’s complete evolution as a sorcerer. While Sukuna’s use of Shrine is known for its destructive Sure Hit Dismantle, Yuji’s application is uniquely his own. Instead of a flurry of slashes, his Domain Expansion, which he successfully used against Sukuna, unleashes a powerful Dismantle aimed directly at the soul of his enemies. This attack, while different from Sukuna’s, causes tremendous and direct damage to the very essence of a person. This ability, coupled with his already unparalleled physical strength, positions him as a legitimate threat to any foe.

The True Power of His Domain Expansion and What It Means for the Future

Gege Akutami’s official statements have clarified the true nature of Yuji’s Domain Expansion, dispelling previous fan theories and providing concrete details on its immense power. His domain allows him to increase his own power and bypass a barrier, launching a Sure Hit Dismantle that attacks the soul. This unique ability is a direct counter to enemies with powerful bodies and weak souls, giving him an advantage that few other sorcerers possess. The fact that he can now use this ultimate technique places him in the same league as the most powerful sorcerers to have ever lived, including Gojo and Sukuna.

The official confirmation also highlights Yuji’s mastery of other high-level techniques, including Reverse Cursed Technique, anti-domain techniques, and other barrier techniques. His ability to heal himself from Sukuna’s attacks almost immediately showcases an impressive level of control over positive cursed energy, a skill that few sorcerers ever achieve. His rapid progression from a student with no cursed technique to a master of multiple high-level abilities in just a short amount of time is a testament to his incredible innate potential, which Akutami has explicitly stated is on par with Sukuna’s own. Yuji’s development is not just about raw power; it is about his ability to grow and adapt under extreme pressure, absorbing techniques and knowledge at an unprecedented rate.

The Legacy of the New Strongest

With the dust settling from the final battle, Yuji Itadori stands as one of the strongest sorcerers in the history of the jujutsu world. His journey, from an ordinary high school student to a sorcerer capable of defeating the King of Curses, is an inspiring one. Gege Akutami’s official confirmation of his power level not only provides a definitive answer for fans but also sets the stage for future narratives, potentially including the recently announced sequel manga. Yuji’s new abilities and his cemented status as a legend mean that the future of jujutsu society rests on his shoulders, carrying on the legacy of Gojo and ushering in a new era of power.
