6 characters Yuji didn't kill, but should have killed

Yuji Itadori's Journey Jutsu Kaisen It can be simply categorized as his stubborn refusal to let go of his humanity despite the fact that the world demands of him a cold-blooded executioner. But this strict sense of right and wrong tends to make him overlook the ugly truths of the magical business. Mercy is too often the reason why many of his friends suffer in the series. Unintentionally asserting his ideals or, one might say, being helpless, Yuji has unwittingly allowed some of the series' most dangerous dangers to grow exponentially. The wave of destruction reaches back to the innocent days at Jujutsu High and leads to the devastating destruction of the world order.

This analysis will discuss six critical situations where Yuji showed hesitation or was physically unable to win a fight and this directly led to disaster. After losing this opportunity, we can see how just one decisive blow could have radically changed the entire course of the conflict, saving the lives of his friends and mentors and averting the final tragedy that nearly cost the entire world.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 23 Powerful Quotes by Yuji Itadori

Yuji Itadori is the source of many inspirational and thought-provoking quotes in Jujutsu Kaisen. Some of his best include:

Mahito (first meeting)

Mahito gets beaten up by Itadori and Kento Nanami.

After Junpei's tragic transformation, Yuji attacked Mahito in the school gym, feeling nothing but pure, unadulterated rage. However, without control over the cursed energy and without Mahito's power to manipulate his soul, Yuji could only watch the curse drain into the sewer, mocking his helplessness.

If Yuji had executed him there, the course of the series would have completely changed. Prevents the following trauma caused by the Shibuya incident and Nobara's permanent amputation. The Culling Game also becomes an absurd fantasy rather than reality if Mahito's Idle Transfiguration is not absorbed by Kenjaku.

Finger Bearer (Juvenile Detention Center)

Jujutsu Haesun - Sukuna vs. Finger Bearer

Trapped on the top floor of the confinement facility, Yuji was exposed to a special level of threat that far exceeded his level of power at the time. He had to give up and allow Sukuna to take over so they could survive. This reliance on the King of Curses was a fundamental error that allowed Sukuna to seize the opportunity to forge the “Enchain” redemption oath.

In the big picture… I'm probably just a cog in the wheel. But I'll keep killing the curse… for as long as I can. This is my role in all of this.

If Sukuna kills the Curse before he realizes it, the King of the Curse will deny him freedom over Yuji's body. Not relying on this in the first case destroys the long-term plan of possessing Megumi Fushiguro from the beginning. That was Sukuna's reason for resurrecting Yuji, but if he hadn't been defeated, our story would have been completely different.

Hanami (friendly event)

In a friendly event, Yuji and Todo engaged in a fierce battle, putting Hanami in danger to the point where she almost had no choice but to use her domain. If Hanami used his domain, Todo and Yuji would have to use, or at least try to use, their domain. Since Hanami's realm does not affect souls, Sukuna will not interfere, but because of this, Yuji will most likely learn his realm from the brink of death.

Keep in mind that new domain extensions can be developed. This domain expansion will take Blood Manipulation to a whole new level in JJK.

Gojo later completely removed the curse, but if Hanami had been driven out earlier, the strategic situation would have been completely different. With a preemptive victory, Gojo would have been able to defeat Jogo or Mahito at once, and the threat of the Shibuya Incident could have been prevented before it even began. Nanami doesn't die in the Shibuya chaos, but that means Maki also doesn't awaken her true power – an eye for an eye – in this situation.

Hanyu and Haba (Propeller Couple)

These Eagle Wizards did little to disturb Yuji in the early stages of the curling game. They were defeated by Yuji almost immediately, but in pure Yuji fashion (being kind enough not to kill his enemies), he only managed to knock them unconscious. He continued to view them as delusional players instead of an immediate and mortal danger that needed to be removed from the game.

With these two alive, Yuji gave the predators an opportunity to linger in an area with easy targets: civilians and wizards. Their presence poses undue risk to an already unstable environment. In this case, a fatal blow would have swept away a group of rogue wizards, saving the lives of innocent people from being sacrificed to opportunistic, thrill-seeking killers.

Shigemo Haruta

Yuji saw Haruta in Shibuya's Hyper Maze Hall, but his mind was devoted to meeting Nanami to help his mentor. He ignored the ponytail curse used to emphasize seeking out and meeting others, a tactical mistake that allowed the petty sadist to continue his rampage. Haruta later set a trap that made Mahoraga desperately call.

If Yuji learned about Haruta from other magicians, it was because he met Nobara and the others beforehand and tried to eliminate them. Yuji knows that he is not a good person and will get rid of Haruta as soon as he sees him. The chain reaction disappears, Megumi is safe, and there is no need to summon Mahoraga. This means that Yuji does not experience the mental nightmares of the aftermath of such a battle, and the devastation of Shibuya is significantly minimized, leaving the city's structure and Yuji's spirit intact.

Sukuna (early)

Yes, we all know that Yuji actually defeated Sukuna, but Yuji has always been burdened by the ethics of killing Megumi's body to finish off Sukuna. Even though they only shared a soul, he was still looking for a way to separate them. This subconscious indecision and his innate desire to save his friend's life did not allow him to take the only reasonable yet terrible course of action: to immediately end the war.

Logically, the ultimate sacrifice would have been to destroy the Sukuna ship when it was first moved. Although Sukuna may not have been strong enough to defeat Sukuna at that point. But if he actually decided it was now or never, he might have defeated him with the help of others. By taking this dark path, the most dangerous thing in the series comes to a halt in less than a second. Gojo, Kashimo, and dozens of others have escaped death, and once the King of the Cursed regains his true form, the world does not follow a path of complete destruction.
