Jujutsu Kaisen image teases Yuji’s upcoming fate
CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen has been harsh on Yuji lately, but finally, a key visual by Gege Akutami features him in a relaxing mood. The image made fans think that the author is hinting toward the upcoming fate of our protagonist.
Jujutsu Kaisen is the most-talked-about manga series at the moment- thanks to Yuta and Yuji vs. Sukuna. Yuji never got his share of fame despite being the lead character. However, witnessing the events of the recently released chapter changed our perception for the boy. Even though Yuta had a hard time with Sukuna in the conflict, he could not have been able to tackle the potent enemy without Yuji’s help.
For now, saving Megumi from Sukuna is the biggest task Yuji and Yuta have to complete. However, Chapter 251 shows that Megumi doesn’t want to live as Sukuna uses his body to kill several sorcerers, including the one he loves the most, i.e. Gojo. And he couldn’t take this pain, so he wanted everything to end forever.
After realizing this devastating thing, Yuta and Yuji’s motivation to win collapsed. Sukuna attacks the duo with the same technique that helped him defeat the mighty Gojo. Even though Yuji received severe damage following the intense attack, the chapter has yet to reveal the status of our hero. Now, a shocking image has surfaced online, hinting at Yuji’s fate.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s key visual features Yuji alongside Choso
Jujutsu Kaisen’s new image by Akutami features Choso, Yuji, and Eso sitting on a wine-colored couch while the ugly monster Kechizu stands behind them. The image sees a purple background and is captioned ‘Blood Brothers, LLC’.
While most JJK fans already know how Yuji is connected with the evil brothers, several are still unaware of the entire matter. So, for the unacquainted, it might feel disgusting but Yuji’s father conceived him with a woman who was serving as a vessel to Kenjaku at that time. Hence, Yuji is Kenjaku and Jin Itadori’s biological son. Additionally, Kenjaku is also the father of Death Paintings, so considering that Yuji is related to nine evil curses.
In the intriguing key visual, Yuji’s costume makes him resemble Sukuna and one of the Reddit users has also commented, “The clothes that Yuji is wearing in this art remind me a little of Sukuna’s clothes when he was still trapped inside Itadori’s mind. Could this be a foreshadowing that gege gave us?”
Another one says “Yuji is Kenjaku’s Frankenstein monster. The result of a crazed experiment. Yuji is the actual “human earthworm” that he ironically likes to watch.”
Several fans find the image the hardest to digest. We are yet to know how the story of JJK will be shaped and what things will be like for Yuji. However, the fans have already started seeing the latest picture of Yuji with the curses as a foreshadowing by the author.
