Here are three of the most mind-blowing ones. Considered one of the best shonen anime series of all time, Gege Akutami\u2019s Jujutsu Kaisen won fans over with its cocktail of dark fantasy, horror, and loveable characters when it first debuted in 2021. The story follows Yuji Itadori, a teenager, who enters the hidden world of Jujutsu Sorcerers and cursed spirits. It\u2019s soaring popularity gained the series an active online fan base eager to engage in discussion, art and cosplay. But that\u2019s not all \u2013 these die-hard fans have also come up with some wild ideas of their own. So, what are Sukun\u2019s true motives? And could Yuji Itadori\u2019s mysterious bloodline be key? These are three mind-blowing Jujutsu Kaisen fan theories that could actually be true. 3 mind-blowing Jujutsu Kaisen fan theories The world of Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular modern-day anime, with twists, turns and a complicated plot. But one of the best parts about the series is its unresolved mysteries. So, here are three of our favorite fan theories ranked in no particular order. 1. Yuji Itadori is a descendant of Ryomen Sukuna One of Jujutsu Kaisen\u2019s most exciting mysteries is how an ordinary human, Yuji Itadori, is able to host powerful sorcerer Ryomen Sukuna, despite having no cursed energy or techniques himself. While the anime hasn\u2019t confirmed or denied that Sukuna and Itadori are related, Itadori\u2019s family history is shrouded in mystery. This has led some fans to speculate that Yuji Itadori could be a descendant of Sukuna. But why? Let\u2019s go back to Chapter 2 of the manga. In the manga, Gojo and Sukuna emphasize just how impressive Itadori\u2019s ability to suppress the King of Curses (after eating his finger) is. Therefore, it\u2019s not something an ordinary human, let alone someone without cursed energy, can do. There are two ways that fans have proposed Sukuna and Itadori are related. The first is that they are the same people, because of how similar Sukuna\u2019s soul looks to Idatori (although this could just be an illustration choice). The second is that Sukuna could have had a twin brother. The significance of twins is stated multiple times throughout the Jujutsu Kaisen series, as seen with Maki and Mai. Although it\u2019s confirmed that Sukuna had no children, the theory goes that if his twin brother did, then Itadori could be a distant descendant. What does this mean? Basically, that his bloodline renders him compatible with Sukuna as a vessel. 2. Megumi is destined for the dark side Jujutsu Kaisen is famous for the binary nature of its symbolism. This led some fans to theorize that Megumi is linked to Itadori in the same way that Geto is tied to Gojo. Meaning that if Itadori is the good to the evil that surrounds him, then its possible that Megumi could fall to the dark side. Slight spoiler alert! Skip this paragraph if you\u2019re not up to date with the manga. Sukuna\u2019s interest in Megumi is well-known, and so is Megumi\u2019s tragic backstory. Which is why its easy to see how Megumi could fall to the darkness around him, instead of resisting it like how Itadori does. The Culling Game Arc is one of the most exciting story arcs in Jujutsu Kaisen and sees Sukuna taking over Megumi Fushiguro\u2019s body. Over the series we see Sukuna break Megumi\u2019s soul in the cruelest way possible until he surrenders his body to the King of Curses. 3. Kenjaku created Itadori to be Sukuna\u2019s vessel Anyone who has watched Jujutsu Kaisen knows that Yuji Itadori\u2019s superhuman physical abilities defy explanation in the usual shonen protagonist fashion. For someone with no cursed energy, he shouldn\u2019t be as strong as he is. So, what happened? Let\u2019s first backtrack to the evil sorcerer Kenjaku. He\u2019s an ancient sorcerer, who is possibly even older than Sukuna himself, who has managed to survive so long using an innate body swapping cursed technique. Essentially, he is capable of replacing a person\u2019s brain with his own, allowing him to completely control their bodies (including their cursed techniques), leaving behind only a scar on their forehead. In flashbacks, fans discovered that Kenjaku possessed both Noritoshi Kamo (an infamous evil Jujutsu sorcerer) and Yuji\u2019s mother, Kaori. This discovery gave rise to an interesting fan theory: that Yuji Itadori is a cursed womb painting and Kenjaku\u2019s son. To understand this theory, let\u2019s first examine the curse womb paintings officially introduced in the series\u2014the three brothers Eso, Kechizu, and Choso. In the anime, when Itadori fights Choso in a subway station, Choso can clearly sense a strange feeling of kinship between them. This on its own doesn\u2019t mean much. However, (again, a slight spoiler), Chapter 143 of the manga reveals that Yuji Itadori\u2019s mother, Kaori, bears the same scars on her forehead as Kenjaku\u2019s other possessed bodies. What does this mean? Body stealing ancient sorcerer possessed Yuji\u2019s mother, had a child with a mortal human, and therefore created a cursed womb painting capable of serving as Sukuna\u2019s vessel. Now, only one question remains: what is Kenjaku\u2019s overall plan? Some speculate that he could want to revive Sukuna for a Jujutsu Sorcerer\u2019s match of the ages and others believe that he simply wants to create a new world order. With Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen currently airing and the manga still incomplete, one thing is for certain: only time will tell.
