Jujutsu Kaisen: 5 “Perks” that Yuji Itadori Enjoys When Becoming Sukuna’s “Vessel”

Yuji Itadori’s life changed completely when he became Sukuna’s vessel.

In Jujutsu Kaisen, Ryomen Sukuna is a cursed spirit and is considered the “King of Curses” because of his immense strength. In the past Sukuna was defeated, but his body could not be completely destroyed, so 20 fingers were cut off and sealed in various places. Later, Sukuna awakened and returned to the world when Itadori swallowed his finger and became the most perfect vessel.

It can be seen that Yuji Itadori’s life completely changed when he became Sukuna’s vessel. Most of the tragedies that have befallen Itadori, most importantly there is the possibility that he will have to die at the end of Jujutsu Kaisen. However, giving Sukuna possession of a body part also brings its own benefits, here are 5 “perks” that he has.

Sukuna can save Itadori’s life

Sukuna once saved Itadori from total death after pulling out his heart but never abandoned him. Not only that, but Sukuna is also shown to have healed Itadori on numerous occasions, such as during his fight with the Finger Bearer when Sukuna took over Yuji’s body and healed his fingers and hands. Although Sukuna essentially saved Itadori because he didn’t want to weaken himself, it was clear that thanks to this, he was able to escape death in life-threatening situations.

Itadori has great power

As mentioned above, Sukuna is known as the King of Curses because of his unparalleled strength. So just “dragging” Sukuna out, Itadori will possess a great power. As we saw in the battle with Mahito and the Finger Bearer, it was clear that many other cursed souls were afraid of Sukuna’s power.

Itadori can defeat every villain

We also know that Mahito is a thorn in the side for all Magicians, he manipulated and killed Junpei Yoshino for no reason, as well as nearly killing Kento Nanami. It can be said that Mahito’s power makes him the most difficult cursed spirit to capture, as well as the nightmare of mankind. Unfortunately Itadori encountered this formidable villain and it was only when Sukuna appeared that Mahito was defeated. It can be seen that as Sukuna’s “vessel”, Itadori can defeat all villains.

Itadori possesses an enormous amount of magical power

So far Sukuna’s strength is immeasurable, he can slay the strongest cursed spirits, can regenerate body parts with ease, and is essentially immortal. With this immense power, it was easy to understand why so many magicians and cursed spirits pursued Sukuna’s finger and vessel. As Sukuna’s vessel, Itadori has access to this seemingly limitless source of energy.

Itadori can make a contract with Sukuna

So far no one has explained why Sukuna was unable to fully control Itadori’s body, despite ingesting a special grade cursed item. Because of this, Itadori was able to form a binding oath to Sukuna. This is seen as a very powerful thing, almost everything is agreed upon.
