The dark origin of Yuji Itadori
Sukuna, the King of Curses, has a relationship with Itadori that goes beyond the union they formed during most of the series. What is this relationship? They are related, and Sukuna is Itadori’s uncle, so how is that possible? When Sukuna was in the womb, he also had a twin, which he was allowed to eat while they were still fetuses. This caused his brother’s soul to be reincarnated, and Kenjaku, the powerful sorcerer we know as Noritoshi Kamo, who took over Suguru Geto’s body, sought this reincarnation. It was only when he was reincarnated as Jin Itadori, Yuji’s father, that Kenjaku found him to procreate, and from this unholy union was born a child of Sukuna’s reincarnated twin and Kenjaku’s will.
Over the centuries, there have been many reincarnations of Sukuna’s twin brother, but Itadori was the chosen one. An indispensable piece that could put an end to a battle against the King of Curses that has millions of readers around the world in suspense. This an unexpected power of a protagonist who for a long time seemed to be relegated to a minor role, but thanks to the awakening of his power and his ability to use the Black Flash, we could witness the last moments of one of the most epic battles in the history of manga.
