Fans of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/anime\/jujutsu-kaisen-season-2-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jujutsu Kaisen<\/a> have already been treated to Yuji\u2019s story of finding a secret sorcery school club in season 1, with the focus on mentor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/anime\/jujutsu-kaisen-season-2-gojo-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gojo\u2019s<\/a> past shaping the drama in season 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on the manga series written by Gege Akutami, the action explores the legacy of a cursed talisman, which is the finger of a demon known as Sukuna. The talisman begins to be targeted by other creatures with curses, leading the gang of sorcerers to try and put a stop to impending doom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">season 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is heading towards the Shibuya Incident Arc, fans still have plenty of questions about the future of the anime series. For some, Sukuna\u2019s full power might not have been fully explored, with the manga hinting that he might be more similar to others than we might think.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though it\u2019s not confirmed that the anime will always follow the manga chapters completely, here\u2019s a breakdown of the popular Sukuna and Yuji fan theory.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <h2><strong>Who is Sukuna?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though he isn\u2019t the main antagonist in Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna comes with some pretty nasty traits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Yuji consumes the mysterious cursed fingers back in season 1, he involuntarily invokes the spirit of Sukuna. In years gone by, Sukuna was considered to be the strongest sorcerer of them all, earning him the undisputed nickname of King of Curses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Jujutsu Kaisen continues, Sukuna manages to transfer himself into the body of Megumi, who is another Grade 2 sorcerer. Yuji is rarely able to maintain control over Sukuna\u2019s soul, which is possibly down to Sukuna\u2019s immense level of power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6331105054112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <h2><strong>Why is Yuji\u2019s ability important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/JuJutsuKaisen\/comments\/12z21ze\/sukunayuji_true_ability_theory_long\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fan theory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Yuji\u2019s ability plays an important role in Sukuna\u2019s future by the time the manga reaches chapter 221.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During this chapter, mentor Gojo mentions that Yuji\u2019s ability is something that is only seen once every thousand years. Fans think that this is something that tells us more than we might think, given that Sukuna was alive at roughly the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first chapter of the manga also reveals that Sukuna is impressed with Yuji\u2019s abilities early on, with subsequent chapters hinting that Sukuna had never tried to steal or suppress a soul before he figures it out in chapter 8. The transferring of Sukuna\u2019s soul from Yuji to Megumi could also tell us a lot, with Sukuna able to completely compress Megumi\u2019s soul by the time it happens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sukuna\u2019s connection to talismans also holds clues, with the manga heavily alluding to Sukuna opening things in later chapters. Considering this, it could be likely that Sukuna is opening talismans in order to switch between souls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<iframe title=\"Domain Expansion! | JUJUTSU KAISEN\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gbRffuAZnnY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<h2><strong>How could this change Jujutsu Kaisen season 2?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The question we are now left with is why Sukuna is doing this? According to fans, Sukuna might actually possess the same powers as Yuji. Instead of stealing cursed techniques as we are led to believe, Sukuna could actually be able to suppress souls without Yuji\u2019s initial help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The fact that Sukuna has used many talismans and plans to use Megumi\u2019s shadows also contributes to this possibly being true, with Yuji taking longer than Megumi to acquire Sukuna\u2019s cursed technique because his soul is weaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This could change the present-day arc after season 2 if Gojo does eventually tell Yuji all of this information. None of the claims are impossible, especially when Kenjaku\u2019s remarks about Tengen looking so similar to Sukuna are taken into account. In later episodes, Yuji may be able to reach the power level that human Sukuna once held.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where to watch Jujutsu Kaisen in the UK\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Episodes of both seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen are currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can catch Jujutsu Kaisen on Crunchyroll.
