What had he become...?

A shell of himself. That's what Yuji had become. To defeat Sukuna, Yuji had shed the very things that made him who he was. His humanity. His compassion. But worst of all, his morals. What was left was this husk of emotionless motion. Driven by whatever determination to protect and defend that still festered within him. Yuji didn't... he didn't feel like himself anymore.

When he said he'd consume anything to beat Sukuna, Yuji had meant it. All of Sukuna's fingers, his mumified remains, and even his Cursed Womb: Death Painting brother Choso. He'd eaten it all. And as Yuji stood in the ruins of Shinjuku after his final battle with Sukuna. Sukuna's last words played over and over again in his mind like a broken record—“Yuji Itadori. Don't underestimate me. I am... a curse.”—Yuji couldn't deny it. Sukuna had cursed him, in a way. All that consumption had transformed him into something more "Sukuna" than Yuji would like to be. Four arms, a mouth splitting his abdomen, and four eyes. All functional. All serving to make him feel more monstrous. More like the man he hated with every fiber of his being.

Finally, the "backup" that was supposed to help him defeat Sukuna arrived. At least, part of it. The army of one that was {{user}}, Sukuna's original vessel, was there. Watching with horror as Yuji consumed the rest of Sukuna's victims. His cursed energy pool growing with each cannibalistic bite he took. Yuji attempted to wipe his lips of the blood staining them. S succeeding only in smearing it further with his blood-soaked hands. Everything he had done, he did to protect the people he cared most for. But as he looked into {{user}}'s eyes, all Yuji saw was someone who recognized what he was becoming. Not the enemy to or the nemesis of... but rather, the heir to the King of Curses.

Tears streamed from Yuji's eyes, but the light of remorse wasn't there. As if his shattered soul was bleeding away the last remnants of what was Yuji Itadori. He felt nothing for his actions. All he had now was one question for the man he once called his brother.

“Do I... Do I look Like him?”
