Jujutsu Kaisen fans are currently delighted to see the manga return once again. The story has been absolutely sensational as of late, but one absolutely cannot deny the fact that the month-long break that JJK went on was hard for fans to endure. Now, however, JJK is officially back, and this simply means the fans are going to get the exciting battles brewing between Sukuna and Yuta.
Currently, Yuta is in Gojo’s body, and his plan is to end the battle within 3 minutes. At the same time, Sukuna intends to do the same, and both of these plans simply go on to prove that this battle is not going to last long. Fans should keep in mind that Yuta versus Sukuna is going to wrap up soon, and the domain clash is going to end soon enough. This battle could go either way, but, with help from Toge, Yuta might actually have clinched the victory here.
Yuta Vs Sukuna In The Domain
Yuta Struggled To Keep Up With Sukuna In The Domain
Fans saw both Yuta and Sukuna expand their domains immediately after the battle began. As soon as Yuta arrived on the battlefield, his first move was to expand the domain and deal with Sukuna inside. For Yuta, the plan was to deal enough damage to Sukuna within 3 minutes that he couldn’t maintain Malevolent Shrine anymore and it crashed. For Sukuna, the plan was completely different. Sukuna hoped to break the barrier of Yuta’s domain from the outside, and then extend the range of his domain so much that essentially everyone would be destroyed by it. Both of these simply had 3 minutes to do what they wanted, and it was certainly always going to be a very difficult battle. Yuta decided to fight to the best of his abilities inside the domain, which meant that a lot of hand-to-hand combat would ensue. Yuta and Sukuna engaged in hand-to-hand combat in JJK chapter 262 part 2, and it was clear to see that the former was struggling.
This was largely down to the fact that Yuta is not used to Gojo’s Limitless, and that it will take him plenty of years of practice to reach a level similar to the strongest. Sukuna could easily see that as well. According to him, Yuta only had the Limitless to use in battle, and his control over it was at a level where Sukuna didn’t even need to worry. There was absolutely no way that Yuta could win this battle as things were going inside the domain.
Sukuna even knew that he would fire a Hollow Purple, so he simply beat him in hand-to-hand combat and prevented him from using the technique. Sukuna mentioned clearly that there was absolutely no way that he would allow him to file such a lethal technique at close range, and that the fact that Gojo had to use it in a roundabout manner was proof of that. That said, Yuta had his own plan to deal with this problem and it is safe to say that this was a flawless one.
Yuta’s Plan To Fire Hollow Purple
Yuta Successfully Completed Preparations For Hollow Purple
Fans were easily able to see that Yuta Okkotsu was struggling to deal with Sukuna in JJK chapter 262.5. Victory was very difficult for him to achieve due to two main reasons. The first reason is that Yuta is not Gojo and regardless of what he does inside this body, he will never be as good as him. In time, Yuta saw the reality of Gojo’s Limitless technique. Even though Gojo was considered to be blessed by many, he had actually worked his way to the top and controlled Limitless in a manner where he could rightfully claim the title of the strongest. Just having Limitless and the Six Eyes was not going to be enough for him to reach a sky-high level or be proclaimed as the strongest. This is precisely why Yuta struggled in the battle as he did not have enough training with Gojo’s body to be able to control his techniques properly.
The second reason why Yuta struggled as much as he did was simply because he did not have access to his other techniques, and, as a result, he was forced to make do with what he had, which restricted him in many ways. Sukuna was in his face all the time and he could not unleash his powerful techniques. Rika was not by his side either, and once again, that meant Sukuna was more at ease.
That said, Yuta certainly did have a plan around this. The plan was to simply use a technique as powerful as Hollow Purple inside the domain and even while that would have been difficult for him to achieve right from the get-go, he managed to create his own opportunity to unleash a powerful attack. Essentially, using cursed speech, Yuta was able to freeze Sukuna in his place, and as that happened, he then proceeded to unleash a powerful Hollow Purple at him.
Of course, fans have not seen this Hollow Purple hit yet, but this technique is now fully prepared, ready to be launched at the King of Curses. If it does hit at such a close range, there is no way that Sukuna is surviving, which means that Yuta might essentially have won the battle already.
How Inumaki Made It Possible To Use Hollow Purple
Inumaki’s Help With Cursed Speech Froze Sukuna In Place
As was confirmed by Sukuna in the chapter, the cursed speech did not come from Yuta but from Inumaki. Yuta utilized the power of Blue to push a voice recorder or a transmitter next to Sukuna’s ear. Then, he used his voice to order Sukuna to not move. Of course, this order put a massive strain on his throat, and fans could see him bleed out aggressively. However, Sukuna clearly froze in his position and was unable to move even an inch. Yuta utilized this time to complete the incantations for Hollow Purple, and prepared to unleash his mighty attack. Based on what Sukuna said, this was not an imitation used by Yuta or even Yuta’s very own cursed speech recorded and then utilized in battle later on.
The fact that it had no effect on Yuta’s body is proof of that. Clearly, Toge Inumaki was the one bleeding and Sukuna himself went on to say that it was the real thing and not a copy, and all this is proof of the fact that it was Inumaki who utilized this power and gave Yuta a massive push at the very last moment of battle. Things are going to be more exciting in the next chapter as fans will finally figure out what happens in this domain battle.
