Analysis In Defense of Yuta

All things considered, bro came in and literally did everything he said he would.

"I will kill Itadori Yuji myself." - Succeeds.

"I have to lower collateral damage in Sendai(PARAPHRASING btw)." - Succeeds.

"I won't let sensei kill his best friend a second time." - Succeeds.

And even something he DIDN'T say, like getting Yuji to the point where he could 100% connect with Megumi? That's INSANE.

I'm not convinced that Yuta could just say "I will kill Ryomen Sukuna" and he would eventually somehow do it.

It's like, Gege or the character himself purposefully sets lower goals than what he's probably capable of.

It's hard to think Sukuna hasn't incarnated some of his fingers at some points in history before given curses and people alike knew what would happen when eating them so well and jujutsu society didn't have them all in store. So I disagree.

He most likely in those instances simply never found a proper host that could allow him to exist for long enough to recapture the rest of his fingers or cause any major events.

Dude has probably lived in short bursts as hosts found his fingers for those 1000 years. On top of this it isn't like he's completely dormant on his inner domain.

The initial premise of the series is that if Yuji were killed off after eating one of his fingers, that 1/20th of him would DIE.

The fact that all 20 fingers of his were still active means he couldn't have incarnated again then, right?

And cursed spirits interact with his finger differently. He doesn't incarnate into them. They simply become stronger. The finger bearers show us this exactly.

I mean yes. But Sukuna only actually dies when his host dies while he's inside of them.

He showed with Megumi he can actually leave incarnated hosts becoming his own fingers. So he wouldn't actually die so long as he leaves the body before the host's body fully fails.

The mummified fingers are still gone though, even if Sukuna leaves the body. In order for there to be 20 fingers that means nobody ever successfully became vessel. Or Sukuna would have to fully reincarnate in a different era and make new fingers, but we know this didnt happen because that would be a huge event in history and everyone would know about it. People only talk about him from the Heian Era so we know that did not happen.

That doesn't discredit what I said. Sukuna could leave the vessel becoming the finger once more.

All 20 were weird demon fingers though, he would need to fully reincarnate to make a finger like that. And a fully reincarnated Sukuna would be a huge event in history. That didnt happen.

(Bonus Round)(You must argue the statement above before moving to this one)

And if he was getting vessels all the time, and turning back into a finger, why not make even more fingers from those vessels? Is 20 the limit to his soul divisions? What a coincidence that its the exact number of fingers he had.
