Jujutsu Kaisen: Why didn\u2019t Toge use Cursed Speech before? Yuta vs. Sukuna explained Gege Akutami\/MAPPAToge Inumaki\u2019s surprising reappearance in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 262 Part 2 has many wondering why he didn\u2019t use Cursed Speech on Sukuna before. Despite being a major supporting character in Jujutsu Kaisen, Toge was absent from the story for a long time. After aiding civilians and getting his arm cut by Sukuna during the Shibuya Incident, he didn\u2019t appear again for more than 100 chapters. Even when the Shinjuku Showdown began, he was nowhere to be found. This had many fans wondering if he\u2019d completed his role in the story and didn\u2019t matter anymore. It certainly seemed so, especially with so many major character deaths. But Toge comes back in Chapter 262 Part 2, at least in spirit. Turns out his absence was the plan all along as Yuta has recorded his voice to use Cursed Speech against Sukuna. However, what\u2019s baffling is why they waited so long to use such a useful technique. Why didn\u2019t Toge use Cursed Speech on Sukuna before? Toge didn\u2019t use Cursed Speech on Sukuna before Chapter 262 Part 2 because the rebound from the technique would kill him if Sukuna was in full power. Cursed Speech is an inherited technique that imbues the user\u2019s words with cursed energy and compels the target to do what they are bid. It sounds like an overpowered ability. However, it has some major limitations that make it very difficult to use. The technique will only work if Toge uses a command. What\u2019s more, the stronger the command, the more cursed energy it requires from him. For example, \u201cdie\u201d takes a harder toll on him than commands like \u201cdon\u2019t move\u201d and \u201csleep\u201d. Cursed Speech already requires a lot of cursed energy. So, using powerful commands is the last resort for Toge, as evident in his fights. On top of that, the stronger his target is the more powerful the rebound. This is seen when he uses this technique on Hanami. So, using Cursed Speech against Sukuna is nothing short of suicide. In fact, had he used it against the King of Curses before, he\u2019d be instantly killed by the rebound. That\u2019s why Yuta waited until Sukuna was significantly weakened by the back-to-back attacks. Also, he needed to be strong enough to actually affect the ancient sorcerer after stopping him with Cursed Speech. But even when Sukuna was weakened, he was so strong that a simple \u201cdon\u2019t move\u201d command wounded Toge\u2019s vocal chord to the point that he was coughing blood. Yuta\u2019s last resort against Sukuna The Shinjuku Showdown has been going on for a long time. So far Sukuna has fought and defeated many opponents since it began, the most prominent being Satoru Gojo. However, Gojo\u2019s death has made defeating the King of Curses a near-impossible endeavor. After Gojo, Yuta is the sorcerers\u2019 biggest bet. He\u2019s currently the strongest from the hero side. However, Sukuna defeated and nearly killed him during their first round. This led to the sorcerers implementing the last resort in their arsenal. Using Kenjaku\u2019s cursed technique, Yuta transferred his brain into Gojo\u2019s corpse. This was to get access to his Six Eyes and Limitless. In the process, Yuta lost his own body and his humanity, leaving him at a crossroads where he can either die or live his life in someone else\u2019s body. But this is his last chance to defeat Sukuna. So, he planned everything meticulously and hid Toge\u2019s involvement in the fight for the longest time. When Sukuna is finally weakened enough to be affected by Cursed Speech without killing Toge, he plays the record to make the ancient sorcerer unable to move. Then he uses Sukuna\u2019s immovability to complete the chant of Hollow Purple. Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 262 Part 2 ended with Yuta finishing the chant and unleashing Hollow Purple. However, we don\u2019t know if the attack actually hits Sukuna since there\u2019s a chance he overcomes Toge\u2019s Cursed Speech and protects himself at the last moment. That\u2019ll be revealed in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263. For more, check out the iconic scenes Gege Akutami recreated and why Ui Ui can\u2019t use soul swapping on Sukuna.
