Last Year was filled with standout anime and manga series, but Jujutsu Kaisen dominated discussion amongst fans. The chances are miniscule that you haven’t heard about Gege Akutami’s smash hit dark fantasy opus.
On the strength of its well-crafted mythos of sorcerers battling cursed spirits, Jujutsu Kaisen finished second globally in manga sales behind only Blue Lock.
Akutami has immersed readers in a captivating world featuring dynamic characters and jaw-dropping supernatural fight sequences.
Fan favorite Okkotsu Yuta, a second-year student at the Tokyo Jujutsu High School, is a prime example.
However, a popular fan theory suggests Yuta’s demise may arrive shortly at the hands of the merciless King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.
In upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen chapters, Sukuna could fully manifest by cruelly devouring Yuta to regain freedom. This would fulfill foreshadowing from the Shibuya Incident arc.
While merely speculation for now, the theory underlines anxieties about beloved characters’ mortality as the manga’s intensity ramps up.
With Akutami prone to shocking twists, the surrounding Yuta’s confrontations with sinister forces like Sukuna will clearly have fans on edge.
Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Fear for Okkotsu Yuta’s Fate in Final Arc Against Sukuna
Gege Akutami’s dark fantasy series Jujutsu Kaisen has reached extraordinary popularity heights, permeating mainstream culture with memes and buzz even among non-anime fans.
With its climactic final arc underway, the manga’s intricate mythos pits a coalition of sorcerers against the supremely powerful Ryomen Sukuna in a death match.
Authored by Akutami, Jujutsu Kaisen‘s current gauntlet battle has the ruthless Sukuna effortlessly trouncing enemies left and right. His growing list of victims includes skilled fighters like Ishigori Ryu, Gojo Satoru, Kashimo, and the fearsome shikigami Mahoraga.
According to a chilling fan theory, Sukuna may soon claim another overmatched opponent by literally devouring beloved character Okkotsu Yuta.
A second-year student, Yuta/Rika previously consumed one of Sukuna’s severed fingers for a power boost. Combined with Akutami’s warning that no characters have plot armor, plus foreshadowing of Sukuna’s resurrection, the stage seems set for Yuta to meet a gory demise.
For fans deeply invested in the kind-hearted exorcist’s journey, his chances look grim against the King of Curses’ wrath.
With Jujutsu Kaisen building towards a cataclysmic conclusion, no hero’s survival is guaranteed against the merciless Sukuna.
Will Sukuna Kill Yuta In The Future Chapters
Ever since the shocking demise of beloved mentor Gojo Satoru, Jujutsu Kaisen fans understand no character is safe if their death propels Gege Akutami’s intricate plot forward.
The mantle of hope for the sorcerers has shifted to Satoru’s protégé Okkotsu Yuta, deemed the second strongest fighter alive today in their curse-filled world.
However, a chilling theory suggests Yuta may soon tragically join his fallen master. Back in 2021, Akutami ominously teased plans for the merciless villain Sukuna to brutally devour an important character.
Though quiet since clues have newly aligned for unfortunate Yuta being the one Sukuna will soon viciously feast upon to regain strength.
After losing Satoru, Yuta represents the jujutsu world’s last beacon against annihilation by curses like the dreaded Ryomen Sukuna. But Akutami has shown no one is safe, and Yuta consuming one of Sukuna’s severed fingers makes him a target.
With all the pieces seamlessly connecting a gruesome fate awaiting the beloved hero Yuta at Sukuna’s hands, fans anxiously hope the writer deviates from expectations.
Yet past shocking twists suggest the ruthless ending many dread may indeed arrive.
A key piece of the theory points to either Rika or Yuta having consumed the final severed finger of Sukuna, absorbing a fragment of the sinister King of Curses’ power.
If indeed Yuta was the one who ate the finger, the vengeful Sukuna would likely aim to ruthlessly devour Yuta in return to regain that lost piece of himself.
Adding fuel, in manga chapter 248 Sukuna ominously states that the “Spirit-possessed brat” will become his next main feast. Then in the very next chapter, he directly refers to Yuta as the aforementioned “brat.”
With the finger consumption and Akutami’s prior comment, the writing clues align around unfortunate Yuta being Sukuna’s preordained next meal.
The working theory is that amidst their current intense confrontation, the merciless Sukuna will simply chomp down on overwhelmed fan favorite Yuta. An extra layer of motive – Sukuna despises his unwilling human vessel Itadori Yuji.
Knowing Yuji admires senior student Yuta, sadistically cannibalizing Yuta would further traumatize Yuji in cruel psychological warfare.
All combined, the stars seem fated to spell terrible doom for kind-hearted Yuta at the jaws of the demonic entity Ryomen Sukuna very soon.
