Surprisingly enough, Yuji’s powers in Jujutsu Kaisen have grown significantly, and a certain fan might have figured it out.
Jujutsu Kaisen hid Yuji’s powers for a long time until his final fight against Sukuna began. He is desperately attempt to kill the villain and save his friend after his beloved sensei’s death.
During the short time between Gojo’s return and the battle of the strongest, everyone’s skills improved tremendously. They all trained to be prepared in case Gojo lost the battle. Nonetheless, the one who improved the most is Yuji Itadori.
Not only is Yuji able to use high-level, complex techniques like Reverse Cursed Technique, but he is also able to attack Sukuna’s soul. Even now, Jujutsu Kaisen has yet to explore Yuji’s powers fully. However, one Reddit user shared speculation about the sudden improvement of the protagonist’s abilities.
Why Yuji’s powers grew so much in Jujutsu Kaisen
A Reddit User speculates Yuji has the same adaptive abilities as Mahoraga. The theory in the thread is extremely detailed as it explains Yuji’s encounters with Sukuna’s slashes and how they mirror Mahoraga’s gradual adaptation process.
The theory explores examples where Yuji negates Sukuna’s abilities, akin to Mahoraga’s role against Gojo, emphasizing parallels between their fighting styles. During the fight, only the first four slashes are given a single panel. Afterwards, the slashes lose their efectivity, fluctuating in the amount surpressed and getting worse when targeting Yuji and other sorcerers.

To further support the argument, the user also explores Yuji’s immunity to Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration. His cursed technique of evolution, or more specifically, adaptation, grants him protection against external sources of transfiguration.
The analysis examines the repeated occurrences of Yuji suppressing Sukuna’s CT, theorizing that after four instances, Yuji achieves complete adaptation to this suppression. Even now, a lot of things about Yuji remain a mystery, including his bloodline and the reason Kenjaku gave birth to him.
Furthermore, Chapter 220 confirmed that Yuji ate the remaining Death Paintings to excel his powers. He is now able to use techniques related to Blood Manipulation. His powers are unconventional and not restricted by simple innate or inherited techniques. Hence, there’s no limit to Yuji’s potential.
The fight in the manga is still continuing, with the King of Curses showing little to no signs of weakness. There’s no telling what’s in store for the young protagonist. However, if there’s one thing we’re certain about, it is that Yuji will continue to surprise us with more shocking techniques in the near future.
