①He died once and came back to life.
One of the important elements of Itadori’s strength is the existence of Double-sided lodging.
He died once in the story.
Then, in the afterlife, he was offered a deal by the Double-sided lodging, and by accepting the following two conditions, his life was restored.
One, that he would surrender his body for one minute when Double-sided lodging chanted “Kekatsu”.
Two, that he would forget this promise.
With this contract, the strange joint life of Itadori and Double-sided lodging began.
Through this event, Itadori was able to control Double-sided lodging.
So far, “Kekatsu” has never been used, but the meaning of Kekatsu is “to separate and not meet for a long time” (see goo Japanese dictionary).
It will be interesting to see when Double-sided lodging will use this in the future.
②The Mystery of My Parents
Itadori’s parents are not clearly described in the main story.
The following is a discussion based on the elements that appeared in the story.
Just before Itadori’s grandfather passed away, he said, “There’s something I should tell you before I go. I want to tell you something about your parents…” He was about to say something.
In the sorcerer’s world, horizontal connections are strong, and if a sorcerer with great power is active, it will soon become known. The fact that the Itadori family is not known, suggests that Itadori’s parents and grandfather were not active sorcerers, at least not as such.
However, from Itadori’s incredible power and his conformity as a vessel of Double-sided lodging, it is hard to believe that Itadori’s parents were ordinary people. Perhaps Itadori’s grandfather and parents were “unconscious sorcerers”.
Itadori was strongly bound by his grandfather’s words, “Help others.
(He himself said that he was under a troublesome “curse.”)
This could literally mean that his grandfather’s words, “Save people,” had some kind of curse power in them.
The spellcaster Inumakitoge, who appears in the story, said that he has been able to use his spellcasting ability since he was a child, and that he has a history of hurting people when he unintentionally activated it.
Itadori’s family is also a family of spellcasters, and it is possible that his grandfather was actually unconsciously putting spell power into his words.
③Why was he able to become a vessel of Double-sided lodging?
Now then, why did Itadori become the vessel of Double-sided lodging?
I think the key lies in “Torabane’s extraordinary physical ability”.
During the Kyoto sister school exchange match, Fushikuro said, “If we hit each other without the ‘spell power’, Torah’s the strongest.
He said he was stronger than Maki Zentoin and Aoi Todo.
Maki was born into a family known as the “Three Families”, but was spared from the curse, and instead gained amazing fighting abilities.
Considering that Itadori has a physical ability that surpasses Maki’s, we can assume that Itadori has also received some kind of ‘Tenyo Jyubaku’.
Also, from the fact that Torabane was able to accept himself as a vessel of Double-sided lodging, we can think of the following two possibilities.
Possibility 1: Itadoria’s ancestor is of Itadori’s bloodline.
Possibility 2: His ancestors are from a family of sorcerers who can hold their own against Double-sided lodging.
However, as I mentioned before, if his ancestors are from a powerful family of sorcerers, it is unthinkable that no one in the sorcerer community knows about it.
From this, it is highly possible that Itadori is of Double-sided lodging’s bloodline.
④There is a great possibility that his abilities will be further awakened in the future.
Itadori is growing day by day as such a Double-sided lodging’s vessel, but Gojyo Satoru said, “Eventually your body will be engraved with Double-sided lodging’s techniques.
Right now, he is just fighting with his arm strength, manipulating the spell power that goes around his body, but still he is able to fight against special-grade Spell.
I wonder how much stronger he’ll become when the “Double-sided lodging Ceremony” is engraved on his current “astonishing physical ability”. I’m looking forward to the future developments.
Summary
In this article, I discussed the secret to Itadori Yuji’s strength in Jutsu Kaisen.
Although Itadori is the main character, his birth and the secret to his strength have yet to be revealed. However, there are hints scattered throughout the story, so it would be interesting to come up with your own ideas.
In the main story of Jujutsu Kaisen, there is currently a very big battle over Gojo Satoru.
What kind of growth will Itadori show in this battle?
