There are a lot of questions among the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom after what happened in Itadori’s Extermination Arc, Yuta Okkotsu is in a rage to exterminate Yuji Itadori.
While it’s important to note that after Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Yuta is seen traveling all around the world attempting various missions, and when he returned to Japan after the Shibuya Incident Arc, which caused a lot of mess not only for humans but also for the Sorcerers world.
It was seen that Yuta was very furious about something and lost control and almost killed Yuji resulting in Sukana’s intense rampage.
But why would Yuta want to kill Yuji when they don’t even know each other properly? Is it because someone ordered Yuta to exterminate Yuji Itadori? Did Yuji do something wrong to offend Yuta in some way? Or is it because of some past unsettled matters?
Why Is Yuta Okkotsu Trying To Kill Yuji Itadori in the First Place?
The Shibuya Incident was one of the most intense events where many terrible things took place like Nanami, who was classified as a first-grade Sorcerer, was killed by the hands of Mahito.
Even Nobara was severely injured and Toge also lost one of his arms. Even after knowing all these Yuta decided to step in and be Yuji’s executioner as a punishment for Sukana’s rampage in Shibuya.
After which Yuta arrived and faced off with Yuji Itadori and had a great fight, Yuta with his improved and extraordinary skills was able to kill Yuji Itadori and finish his mission.
Did Yuta Really Kill Yuji Itadori?
(Spoilers from Manga) It was unexpected for manga readers that Yuta did not kill Yuji Itadori was not dead after all. It was later revealed by Yuta that everything he did was a task assigned by Gojo to look after Yuji.
As the higher-ups won’t allow Yuta to save Yuji, so Yuta performs an act that he wants Yuji dead. If Yuta wanted to make the higher-ups agree with him, then he would have to agree to a binding vow with them.
Yuta was able to fulfil the vow, making Yuji’s heart stop and making him seem dead, by using a reversed technique on him. This made Yuji’s death sentence complete, also accomplishing his vow with higher-ups.
It was a very smart move by not killing Yuji, nor did he injure him in any way. The two later talked about how similar they were in terms of having massive power that they couldn’t handle all by themselves.
This Incident made them closer to each other than before, at this moment Yuji confronted Yuta that he had already consumed fifteen Sukana’s fingers and the King of Curses had planned something for Megumi.
