Yuji Itadori at the end is a sharpened, pragmatic survivor — not because he lived decades as a vessel, but because months of traumatic possession, the Culling Games, and Gojo’s death compressed growth into brutal refinement. He never stopped being a fighter first; he simply became a sorcerer whose techniques and instincts were rewired by direct exposure to Death Paintings, training with Choso and Noritoshi, and repeated life-or-death contact with Sukuna. By the finale he fights with surgical, forward momentum: physical dominance, precise cursed energy use, and a unique set of inherited/awakened techniques that blend blood arts and his shrine-rooted effects.

Arsenal & Curse Techniques

Divergent Fist — Core offensive pattern. Yuji’s timing and control are far more consistent; the physical and cursed impacts are used together as standard practice.

Blood Manipulation — Acquired after consuming Death Paintings and refined through direct tutoring from Choso (and related training). Grants techniques like piercing projectiles, control over expelled blood, and short-range battlefield applications. It also allows Yuji to manipulate severed parts to regather them (the “regathering” seen when he recovers a lost limb) when combined with Reverse Cursed Technique. Limitations: blood volume and stamina.

Black Flash (High Frequency) — Yuji’s synchronization with cursed energy is unusually easy in combat; he pulled multiple Black Flashes in a row (eight+ in the Sukuna fight). This isn’t automatic power, but it’s a consistent, repeatable edge in pitched duels.

Shrine / Dismantle-Derivative (Scissor-Pattern) — Because Yuji served as Sukuna’s vessel and later awakened shrine-style effects, he developed a touch-centric dismantle derivative.

How it differs from Sukuna: Yuji’s “scissor” marking pattern manifests where he targets and relies on touch/close contact rather than firing long-ranged destructive slashes. It can sever “seams” and cut through structures or defenses he directly contacts, but it does not reproduce Sukuna’s full long-range slashing Dismantle.

Soul/Barrier Targeting — Yuji has demonstrated the capacity to target the soul or the barrier between souls (a high-risk, high-impact application). This ability is among the most dangerous uses of his techniques and played a role in key fights.

Reverse Cursed Technique — Functional and battle-grade: heals severe trauma and is required to truly reattach or restore severed parts that Blood Manipulation regathers.

Simple Domain to counter act domains Yuji has learnwd from the best Simple Domain users also known as Kusakabe.

Equipment — Demon Gauntlets Short, his entire arms are embedded in gauntlets: small, pointed, and capable of embedding into surfaces. The gauntlets stabilize blood techniques and protect Yuji’s hands during high-force exchanges.
