Summary
Jujutsu Kaisen, a manga and anime series by Gege Akutami, is known for its abundance of plot twists and drastic developments. As the series gets its readers onboard with many charismatic, memorable characters and a dynamic setting, it is no wonder that the manga series formed a passionate fan community around itself.
However, many key details about the setting or its characters remain a mystery, some of which were questions that have been on fans’ minds for years.Those intriguing riddles created endless speculationabout the past of characters such as Ryomen Sukuna or Kenjaku and their future fates.
9The Soul Shapes The Body
Revelations on the theory of Soul
The relationship between body and soul has been a key theme inJujutsu Kaisen, going as far as the “vs. Mahito” arc when Mahitoposed the questionof what came first to Yuji. He believed the soul came first and was a primary factor in shaping the body.
While Mahito’s theory was never proven to be correct, other instances led fans to speculate on the relationship between the two. Most notable is how Sukuna’s soul affects Yuji’s body, causing him to receive tattoos and an extra pair of eyes. This could be a direct example of Sukuna’s soul transforming Yuji’s body.
8Rika Killed Her Parents
A glimpse into Rika’s mysterious past
Rika Orimoto is a prominent character inJJK 0, in which her character arc is presented as tragic as she was bound to Yuta due to his cursed technique.
However, her manga profile suggests adarker side to her, causing fans to wonder how innocent she truly is. Both of her parents died under mysterious circumstances, and Rika’s own grandmother believed that the girl was responsible. The profile also draws attention to her techniques of manipulation and vengefulness, making many fans see her in a far more negative light.
7Gojo’s Last Words To Geto
Shedding Light On A Touching Moment
JJK 0 concludes with the end of Suguru Geto and his final exchange with Gojo. Gojo’s last words to Geto weren’t shown, but Geto’s response was saying that Gojo should at least curse him in the end.
When asked, Gege said that the answer had already been revealed on the pages ofJJK 0, causing fans to look for clues. The most likely hint is that Gojo refers to Geto when talking to Yuta, calling him ‘my best friend, my one and only.’ Combined with Geto’s response, which hints at Gojo saying something kind and compassionate, many fans believe that Gojo called Geto his best and only friend at that moment.
6Nobara Will Return
Potential Future For A Beloved Protagonist
Ever since Nobara received her fatal wound in chapter 124, her fate remained up in the air. Normally, fans wouldn’t expect Mahito to leave survivors; however, some details have some fans believing that Nobarawill eventually return.
This speculation is caused by the fact that soon after her presumed death, she was taken in by Arata, a sorcerer who told Yuji that there was a non-zero percent chance of her survival. He is also known to have a healing cursed technique and has no major role in the manga outside of this scene. Some fans believe this lack of confirmation is so Nobara can return later in the series.
5Yuji’s Domain Expansion
Unveiling The Hero’s Power
The series’s main protagonist, Yuji Itadori, has yet to receive a domain expansion of his own as he reaches the peak of his potential in the world of Jujutsu Sorcery. It is unclear what exactly his domain expansion will be, but fans wondered whether it will be linked to Ryomen Sukuna’s.
A concept often discussed among fans is that of a benevolent shrine or the shrine of heaven, a domain expansion to counterbalance Sukuna’s malevolent shrine. Yuji’s domain will likely prove key to defeating Sukuna.
4Kenjaku Will Possess Gojo’s Body
The Mastermind’s Possible Return
Out of all the characters who enacted massive change in the Jujutsu world, Kenjaku is arguably without peer. He met his seeming demise at the hands of Yuta 243. His last words mention his will being inherited. Those meanings are still unclear, but fans have no doubt that Kenjakuprepared for such an outcome.
One of the mind-blowing theories is that Kenjaku will overtake Satoru Gojo’s body, bringing a cruel twist to the question Geto posed to his friend in the Hidden Inventory arc.
3Sukuna Ate His Twin
The Dark Backstory Of The King Of Curses
Ryomen Sukuna’s backstory is one of the key mysteries of the setting, with many fans theorizing about his origins. Some look to the legend of the real Ryomen Sukuna for inspiration, while others focus on his appearance and the clues it might reveal.
Sukuna’s name translates to ‘twin spirit’, and having four hands and two pairs of eyes supports that. Coupled with him being a confirmed cannibal, many fans theorize that Sukuna killed his own twin at some point, which became a key moment in his journey to become theking of curses.
2Sukuna And Yuji Are Related
A Deeper Link Between The Two Foils
Yuji Itadori and Ryomen Sukunahave been interconnectedsince the first chapter ofJujutsu Kaisen, but is there more to their bond than Yuji’s being Sukuna’s vessel? Many fans pointed out the striking similarity between Yuji and his grandfather’s similarity with Sukuna’s original appearance.
This led fans to theorize about Yuji’s relation to Sukuna. While Gege stated that Sukuna never had any wives or children, there is still a possibility of Yuji being related to Sukuna’s twin brother and thus being a distant descendant in Sukuna’s bloodline.
1Yuji is Sukuna’s Finger.
The Hero’s Disturbing Nature
Out of all Sukuna’s fingers, only one hasn’t been recovered and consumed. The location of the last finger still remains unknown, which caused fans to muse on what it could be. One of the theories suggests that Kenjaku used it to create Yuji when he possessed Kaori Itadori’s body.
Several facts could hint at it. For one, Kenjaku was known to have all of Sukuna’s fingers at one point. He also curiously refers to Yuji as ‘it’ when talking to Choso, something he never does when talking to other people. Those details caused fans to suspect that there might be more Yuji’s origin than it seems.
