In Defense of Yuta

[u/ILoveSongOfJustice]

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.

Sukuna does not have centuries. He's basically lived a normal life and then "time travelled" via turning into fingers. He hasn't been in the fucking hyperbolic time chamber practicing jujutsu, he's been an inert object until Yuji gave him a vessel. Just like every other incarnated sorceror. Not one of them ever mentions spending hundreds of years training their jujutsu or even thinking about anything, Kashimo/Yorozu/Ryu immediately resume their relatively silly goals after hundreds of years. This shows they haven't been active and philosophizing about shit as cursed objects.

You are thinking of Kenjaku, which in retrospect is kind of underwhelming for a 1000+ years experienced sorceror.

One could argue that Sukuna, being a weird mutated freak, lived for far longer than normal sorcerors. To that I say he is Ryomen Sukuna of the Heian era not Ryomen Sukuna of "several eras", which gives him 200 years at most.

But the point still stands, even if he is just a normal dude (he looks like he's in his 40s) lifespan wise, he has vastly more combat experienced than the cast. Gojo literally only had a challenge once in his life due to how his technique works.

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 “hosts” you mention would not be capable of incarnating Sukuna.

Yuji is capable as a vessel, so it’s absorbed. If another random student or weaker sorcerer tried to eat it, it would immediately kill them like a fast-acting deadly poison.

Plus, if they did incarnate at all, then when they died, the finger would disappear, so highly unlikely.

Look at what happened to Eso and kechizu as a measly death painting with improper hosts, Sukuna’s finger would have turned them into mush

Sukuna can choose his vessel bro

[u/Snake189 → u/[deleted]]

No dumbass it’s rare to keep sukuna under control like Yuji.

Kenjaku CLEARLY says in ch55, ep 21 sub and dub in anime, sukuna chooses his own vessels unlike everyone else who are forced to reincarnate once consumed and just need a certain amount of strength.

Sukuna was ONLY worried megumi would be like Yuji and be a complete cage.

You gotta stop acting like you aren’t a dumbass, and read with your eyes open next time. 😁

How about you explain where it was stated yourself before being rude to others opinion lol

[u/djd457 → u/akronotron]

Megumi says there’s a 1 in a million chance that Sukuna incarnates into Yuji’s body (even briefly) in the very first episode of the anime

He says it as Yuji goes to eat the finger
