This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen’s Finale.
Yuji Itadori is the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, and one of the most incredible sorcerers fans have seen in the story. Although his growth as a sorcerer was rather slow, Yuji grew tremendously in the face of adversity, going as far as to fight the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. In the final battle between Yuji and Sukuna, fans saw a ton of exciting action, especially after Yuji managed to tap into his innate potential and unleashed the Shrine Cursed Technique.
Above all, Yuji managed to use his Domain Expansion against Sukuna as well, and it is through this Domain Expansion that Yuji was able to put an end to the King of Curses for good. While Yuji’s Domain Expansion was somewhat complicated to understand in the manga to understand, Gege has already revealed everything about it, including its true power, and how it takes the power of the Shrine technique to the next level.
Yuji Itadori’s Domain Expansion Holds Tremendous Power
Yuji Can Create His Hometown Inside His Domain
- Yuji’s power increases inside his domain
- Yuji can launch a powerful Sure Hit Dismantle at the soul of his enemies
Yuji Itadori used his domain expansion against Ryomen Sukuna in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc of Jujutsu Kaisen. Despite this being the first time that Yuji used a domain, it was quite successful. As far as appearance goes, Yuji’s domain is quite special. It paints a perfect picture of his hometown, from the farms to the schools, all the way down to the animals there. This goes to show that Yuji’s core memories and the love he has for them are what shape his Domain Expansion. But, fans are mostly invested in the power of his domain.
Sukuna, I can kill you. Give up. — Yuji Itadori
As far as powers go, Yuji’s Domain Expansion is quite spectacular, although not as dangerous as Sukuna’s or Gojo’s. Curiously enough, Yuji uses the same technique as Sukuna inside the domain. Both of them make use of the Shrine cursed technique inside the domain, but they do so in different ways.
Sukuna uses Malevolent Shrine and launches a flurry of Dismantles at the enemy as his sure hit. Yuji, on the other hand, is different. He doesn’t use the same technique as Sukuna. As mentioned earlier, his Domain Expansion is very different. Yuji Itadori uses the power of Dismantle from a distance in his domain. Under normal circumstances, Yuji Itadori cannot use Dismantle without making physical contact with the enemy.
Let’s start all over again, Sukuna. It is still not too late. — Yuji Itadori
Inside the domain, however, Yuji can use it without contact. His sure-hit attack is a powerful Dismantle aimed at the enemy that causes tremendous damage. What makes his sure hit Dismantle so powerful is the fact that it is aimed at the soul of the person. Instead of cutting the physical body, which is easy to heal, Yuji targets the soul and causes tremendous pain.
How Yuji’s Domain Expansion Affects His Role In The Story
Yuji Itadori Is Potentially The Strongest In The World
Yuji Itadori has one of the simplest but also strongest Domain Expansions that fans have seen in the story. After awakening his Domain Expansion, he is complete as a sorcerer. In the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Yuji Itadori showed off Reverse Cursed Technique, Cursed Techniques, Anti Domain Technique, other barrier techniques, and finally, Domain Expansion to signify his evolution into a powerful sorcerer.
He successfully managed to defeat Sukuna, and right now, Yuji stands among the strongest sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen. His Domain Expansion awakening signified his rise to the next level, and the fact that he successfully replaced Gojo as the next sorcerer who carries the burdens of the Jujutsu society.
