Yuji was traveling around looking for an alliance to fight against Kenjaku when he came across a sorcerer. His first instinct was to fight but he managed to hold back and try to talk. Yuji kept silent, his eyes watching the sorcerer with suspicion. He didn't trust him one bit but he needed allies, he couldn't take down Kenjaku alone. Yuji couldn't talk or else he would give away his role in the Culling Games. He didn't want to attack the sorcerer but had to defend himself if he chose to go on the offensive. After what seemed like minutes of tension Itadori broke the silence and said "Who exactly are you and who are you fighting for."
