The latest installment of Gege Akutami’s popular manga Jujutsu Kaisen revealed intriguing new details about the abilities and potential of Yuta Okkotsu.
As a special grade sorcerer, Yuta possesses extraordinary power that could make him a formidable rival even for Ryomen Sukuna, the feared King of Curses.
One of the most exciting moments in Chapter 250 was when Yuta called upon his Copy technique, allowing him to replicate Sukuna’s devastating Cleave attack.
This demonstrates how Yuta can counter the curses by using their own moves against them. His Copy power is shaping up to be a critical trump card.
But Yuta may have an even greater ace up his sleeve – the mysterious technique Sukuna once used to defeat the unstoppable Satoru Gojo. If Yuta could add this to his arsenal, it would make him nearly unbeatable.
With the manga building up Yuta and Yuji Itadori as humanity’s last line of defense, the full extent of Yuta’s skills could determine the fate of the world.
The stage is set for an epic showdown between these juggernaut sorcerers.
Where the story goes next is anyone’s guess, but Akutami has crafted a tense, high-stakes conflict primed for future revelations.
Mimicking Sukuna’s Space Dismantle
Chapter 250 of Jujutsu Kaisen ended on a major cliffhanger, with Yuta Okkotsu successfully copying Ryomen Sukuna’s devastating Cleave technique and wounding the King of Curses.
But Yuta may have an even bigger surprise in store – the potential to mimic Sukuna’s Space Dismantle, the very move that killed Satoru Gojo.
Yuta witnessed the entirety of that fateful battle between Gojo and Sukuna, observing their abilities firsthand. He saw the moment Sukuna sliced Gojo in half with Space Dismantle and even heard Sukuna explain how he performed the technique.
This suggests Yuta likely gathered enough details to copy Space Dismantle through his own powers.
In theory, Yuta now possesses the knowledge to turn Sukuna’s greatest weapon against him. However, this raises an interesting dilemma for author Gege Akutami.
Since Sukuna is currently weakened without access to Reverse Cursed Technique healing, Space Dismantle could swiftly defeat him if perfectly copied. This power in Yuta’s hands could prematurely end the overarching plot.
Nonetheless, Akutami has built up great anticipation for the extent of Yuta’s mimicry skills.
Fans eagerly await where the story will go next, and how the author navigates the stakes he has established around Yuta’s abilities.
A creative solution may be necessary to prolong the brewing confrontation with Sukuna.
The Last Stand Against Sukuna
With major characters like Gojo, Kashimo, and Higuruma now deceased in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, it appears the fate of the Jujutsu sorcerers rests solely on Yuta Okkotsu and protagonist Yuji Itadori.
This makes narrative sense, as Gojo originally saved both Yuta and Yuji from execution when their journeys began. It would bring a fitting sense of closure for these two to defeat the ultimate threat, Ryomen Sukuna, after being mentored by Gojo.
In particular, Yuji defeating Sukuna would resonate given their longstanding rivalry and Yuji’s time acting as Sukuna’s vessel.
It creates a poetic symmetry for the protagonist who housed the demon to ultimately conquer him.
While some speculate Yuta and Rika could fall before the final blow, Yuji landing the decisive winning strike on Sukuna would hold great symbolic weight.
Of course, much remains uncertain about how events will unfold. But Gege Akutami has crafted conditions ripe for an emotionally satisfying conclusion centered on his two prominent young heroes.
Yuji and Yuta overcoming Sukuna, without the aid of legendary mentors like Gojo, would demonstrate just how far they’ve come since the story began. The manga appears poised to build towards this climactic showdown.
More About Jujutsu Kaisen
The story centers on high school student Yuji Itadori, whose grandfather imparted him with the mantras to “always help others” and “die surrounded by people.”
After Yuji’s occult club friends accidentally unseal a cursed talisman, he swallows it to save sorcerer Megumi Fushiguro, becoming the vessel for the powerful curse Ryomen Sukuna.
Sukuna’s evil nature means sorcerers must kill Yuji immediately, but Megumi’s teacher Satoru Gojo sees potential in Yuji retaining control over his body.
Gojo brings Yuji to Tokyo Jujutsu High School to train to consume Sukuna’s 20 fingers so the curse can eventually be destroyed.
Meanwhile, a group of curses led by Mahito and the resurrected dark sorcerer Suguru Geto plot coordinated attacks on jujutsu society.
During a mission, Sukuna takes control of Yuji and goes on a rampage, so Yuji allows them both to die, though Sukuna revives them out of interest in Megumi.
Gojo keeps Yuji’s resurrection secret so he can continue training.
