What Is Yuta’s Cursed Technique?


What Is Yuta’s Cursed Technique?

Many Jujutsu Kaisen fans have been anticipating this moment. Yuta Okkotsu is one of the mysterious characters in the series. In the recent manga update, it appeared that Yuta’s cursed technique had been revealed.

Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 0 introduced Yuta, who is known for his huge amount of cursed energy. He is considered one of the Special Grade Sorcerers, who is at the same level as Satoru Gojo. Chapter 173 of the manga even revealed that he is the second strongest sorcerer after Gojo. So what would that entail about his cursed technique?

A short answer to the question is that Rika is Yuta’s cursed technique. It allows him to store cursed energy and lets him copy techniques as long as he is connected to Rika. This explains how Yuta was able to use the cursed speech which is used by Toge Inumaki and apply Dhruv’s cursed technique in battle.

While this can make him invincible, fans must note that he can only have a sustained connection for five minutes. Remember that he needs the ring to connect to Rika which made fans wonder what would happen if the ring gets lost or destroyed? Unfortunately, the manga still has no answer to that yet.

Chapter 178 ended with a major cliffhanger with Ryu, Takako, and Yuta about to cast their Domain Expansions at once. This is a historical moment for Jujutsu Kaisen fans as this has never happened before.

If Yuta succeeds, he will be the second Jujutsu student who will use a Domain Expansion in the series so far with Megumi as the first. Fans have different expectations as to what will happen next. There are a lot of things to consider but one thing is for sure: Yuta will not have the same problems as Megumi. Yuta has Rika to continuously provide him with cursed energy so the domain will most likely be complete.

In the worst case that he fails, however, it will immediately determine the ending of the battle. Ryu and Takako are known sorcerers with years of experience. They have been giving their all into this fight to the point that they would use their Domain Expansions. If Yuta makes a single mistake, it could be his end.
