When we are speaking about Jujutsu Kaisen, cursed energy and cursed techniques are some that make it more interesting.
Yuji Itadori is one of the most influential and powerful students. He has great potential and a firm resolve.
Everyone has a different cursed technique, just like Megumi uses Latterr’s Ten Shadow Technique.
Yuji Itadori can use cursed energy after eating Sukuna’s finger, a powerful cursed object. After he ate Sukuna’s finger, cursed energy began to flow through him.
Itadori has raw superhuman strength. He combines it with his cursed energy to land fatal blows. His cursed technique allows him to land harmful attacks with a delay after his physical attack.
Why is Itadori so strong?- An Instance when we could have got a hint regarding how strong Itadori is so strong.
Itadori Yuji always had a habit of visiting his Grandfather, who was ill in hospital. His Grandfather might have known that he had very little time left to live.
Itadori didn’t know anything about his parents.
When his Grandfather was on his death bed, Itadori said that he had some free time and wanted to tell him something.
Itadori replied to it by saying, ” Not interested”.
But his Grandfather insisted on listening to him anyway.
It was about his parents, who might have had some relation to Itadori’s superhuman strength.
Itadori had no interest in knowing about his parents.

Itadori was asked to join the Track and Field team.

If Itadori could defeat him in a game of physical strength, then he could still be a member of the Occult Phenomenon Research Club. Or else he has to join the Track and Field team.
Itadori defeated him single-handedly.
When Itadori passed Megumi Fushiguro for the first time, Megumi experienced a cursed object’s presence.
Then, Itadori ran so fast that Megumi couldn’t even see him.
There were rumours in the school where Itadori was a student that Itadori could run 50 meters in just 3 seconds.
Itadori’s school friends Sasaki and Iguchi were in possession of one of Sukuna’s twenty fingers, which is considered a robust cursed object.
They unwrapped it without knowing what it was, attracting cursed solid spirits.
They were attacked by the spirits and were in a potent danger.
Itadori rushed to the location in an attempt to save his friends.
But unfortunately, this was when Itadori could see the cursed spirits without knowing about the cursed energy.
Itadori entered the second floor through the window and saved his friends from the cursed spirits without hesitating.
He also fought some of the cursed spirits despite being not able to use cursed energy and cursed techniques.

Itadori is quite strong when it comes to natural or raw human strength.
And speaking about the use of cursed energy and cursed techniques, Itadori has a long way to go.

So being a student of Gojo, Itadori is guaranteed to become the strongest among the Jujutsu Sorcerers.

It is an awe-inspiring cursed technique which also allows him to regenerate.
Sukuna’s domain expansion technique is the Monovalent Shrine.
It will be really amazing to watch Itadori use these cursed techniques and Sukuna’s domain expansion.
