Jujutsu Kaisen delivered one of its most shocking chapters recently by revealing Yuji\u2019s connection to Sukuna as well as the fact that they share the same technique. Uraume had already noticed similarities between Yuji and Sukuna. Chapter 257 begins with a brief flashback as Sukuna reveals he ate his twin inside his mother\u2019s womb. This also confirms the popular theory about Sukuna being a conjoined twin. Yuji Itadori reminds Sukuna of his twin\u2019s soul since his father, Kenjaku, is the incarnation of that soul. Kenjaku possessed Kaori Itadori\u2019s body and had a child with Jin Itadori in an elaborate plan. Kenjaku even sealed a finger inside Yuji to prepare him as a vessel. Yuji grew up not knowing anything about his birth and his parents. This directly makes Sukuna Yuji\u2019s soul uncle in some sense. Apart from that connection, they also share the same technique, \u201cShrine,\u201d but that\u2019s because of Yuji formerly being Sukuna\u2019s vessel. What is Yuji\u2019s technique Shrine in Jujutsu Kaisen? Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 257 has a mistranslation in the panel that mentions Shrine. The chapter is trying to imply that Yuji\u2019s technique Shrine, not Malevolent Shrine, is engraved into him as Sukuna\u2019s vessel. It was awakened after using his Black Flash. Gojo had already confirmed in Chapter 12 that in due time, Yuji will learn to use Sukuna\u2019s technique. Although both Yuji and Sukuna can use Shrine, these techniques have slight differences. The same techniques can manifest differently among other sorcerers. Since he has just awakened it, Yuji\u2019s output is significantly lower than Sukuna\u2019s, and he uses Shrine differently. Sukuna uses Cleave and Dismantle to cut and slash his opponents directly with overwhelming strength. Yuji creates scissor patterns over the objects he wants to cut, whether a pillar or even Sukuna\u2019s limbs. Fundamentally, these powers are similar since Shrine also involves slashing and dicing a target. Yuji awakening this technique is pretty impressive. The current Sukuna he\u2019s fighting is significantly weaker because of the long fight. The villain is single-handedly defending himself against so many opponents. Hence, he\u2019s bound to lose energy at this point. You can check out the release date and more spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 258.
