Summary
AmongJujutsu Kaisen’s powerful sorcerers, some have been proven to be stronger and more skillful than their peers. Due to these glaring differences in power, the higher-ups in charge of training and keeping sorcerers in check decided to assign each individual sorcerer agrade. These titles represent the extent of the threats a sorcerer can successfully take on, so the same grades are assigned to cursed spirits and cursed objects too.
Yuji Itadori, the protagonist of theJujutsu Kaisenmanga series, hasnever been officially assigned a grade. Yet,given his impressive growth throughout the story, there is enough evidence to consider him among Grade 1 or even Special Grade sorcerers.
Yuji’s Final Power-Up In Jujutsu Kaisen Has A Surprising Inspiration & It’s Secretly Genius
Jujutsu Kaisen has finally revealed Yuji’s Domain Expansion and it has a surprising Buddhist connection that perfectly fits Yuji’s character.
Yuji’s Grade Cannot Be Lower Than Grade 1, as Proven by His Abilities
Gojo Himself Recommended Yuji To Be Promoted to Grade 1
Grade 1 sorcerers are among the most powerful and skilled fighters in the world ofJujutsu Kaisen. These individuals tend to have above-average strength and ability, while also being able to utilize powerful abilities like Reverse Curse Technique. Characters like Nanami, Higuruma, and Todo,all considered among the strongest fighters inJujutsu Kaisen, have been labeled as Grade 1 sorcerers. As the series has progressed, Yuji has been seen fighting side by side with these amazing warriors, sometimes even surpassing them in power.
Thanks to his unique physiology, enormous amounts of Cursed Energy, and Sukuna’s power boost,Yuji could not be categorized as anything lower than Grade 1. His mentor Gojo even nominated Itadori and Nobara to be promoted to this rank, believing them to be prepared to fight against dangerous cursed spirits. Ever since that occurred, Yuji has only become stronger, obtaining a power greater than any Grade 1 sorcerer has ever displayed in the series. It is likely that this rank is no longer able to accurately represent Itadori’s growing strength.
Yuji’s Battle Against Sukuna May Have Elevated His Rank
The Battle Against Sukuna May Imply He Has Become Special Grade
As the final battle against Sukuna has progressed,Yuji has been shown to have developed some of the most powerful abilitiesa Jujutsu sorcerer can utilize. To begin with, in chapter 257, Itadori demonstrated mastery over the complicated Blood Manipulation technique, which he learned fromhis self-proclaimed brother Choso. During that same chapter, the protagonist utilized a technique similar to Sukuna’s Cleave, shocking the King of Curses himself and proving he can use two Cursed Techniques.
The young man is also able to make use of the Dismantle ability granted by Sukuna’s Cursed Technique, which caused severe damage to the King of Curses by targeting the boundary between his and Fushiguro’s souls. During the battle, Yuji also displayed mastery of the essential Reverse Cursed Technique. Finally,Itadori has recently shown his Domain Expansion, considered the supreme skill of a jujutsu sorcerer.
Few sorcerers in the entire world have such an innate ability to control these amazingly strong abilities. Most impressive of all is the fact that Yuji learned all these techniques in just one month of training. All these factors combined could indicate thatYuji has far surpassed the level of a Grade 1 sorcerer, becoming a member of the exclusiveSpecial Grade. While it is unlikely that this ranking will ever be officially applied to Itadori, the manga makes it clear that he has grown past the young man fans met at the start of the series.
Yuji Itadori is undoubtedly one of the most powerful characters in the world ofJujutsu Kaisen. Despite not having an official grade, it is clear that almost no sorcerer alive could hope to surpass his outstanding feats. His dedication, force of will, and desire to help others makeYujinot only an amazing sorcerer, but also an inspiring human being.
