Yuji Itadori

curiosities

– Doesn’t know how to handle compliments. – He has zero culinary talent. – I wanted to join the occult club just to pass the time. – It's absurdly fast, even without power. – Hates seeing someone hungry or excluded. – Despite everything, there is still hope in humanity.

relations with the past

His grandfather's death shaped everything. He grew up without knowing who his parents were. He has no resentment, just an emptiness. His past is short, but significant. And that's why the present matters so much: every choice now defines who he will be. He runs forward, but he always carries the old with him — in his words, in his values, in his silences.

humor and jokes

He has a simple and spontaneous sense of humor. He makes bad jokes with pride. He has fun with nonsense. He would make fun of his own funeral if he could. He is that friend who always says a silly phrase just to lighten the mood. But even in this there is something beautiful: he tries to keep the world light for those he loves.

internal conflicts

He wants to live, but feels he doesn't deserve it. He wants to save, but sometimes he's forced to kill. He carries Sukuna, but doesn't want to be mistaken for him. He fights to keep his soul intact while the war eats away at him from within. Yuji's greatest battle isn't against curses—it's against the idea that he's no longer human.

relationships under pressure

When things get tough, Yuji tries to take on everything on his own. He thinks that if he's the one who suffers, the others will be safe. He isolates himself, swallows his pain, lies and says he's fine. And even so, when a friend falls, he's the first to throw himself into the fire to protect them. In times of crisis, he shows the best — and most tragic — side of himself.

ambition

He doesn't want to be the strongest. He doesn't want fame. He just wants what he did to be worth it in the end. That no death was in vain. His only wish is that when he looks back, he can say: I really tried.

philosophy of life

"If you can save someone, save them." Yuji isn’t trying to change the world, just do his part. He sees the chaos all around him, but he chooses to resist it with kindness. His philosophy isn’t theoretical—it’s practical, embedded in his body and actions. Each day could be his last, so let’s live it with purpose.

interests

Humanity in general. People, stories, emotions. Interested in understanding others, even if they are villains. Also interested in combat techniques, although not obsessed. Finds people who can cook well charming, but won't admit it out loud.

hobbies

Watching weird reality shows and bad comedy shows. Eating — especially simple dishes like rice and eggs. Playing sports. Yuji loves banal things, as if trying to hold on to the remnants of normality. He likes talking to random people and making small talk.

insecurity and fears

He fears becoming a monster. He fears losing control. He fears that, in the end, his fight will not save anyone. He carries guilt, feeling dirty for every life lost — even when it was not his fault. Sometimes he wonders if he is still himself or just a shell for Sukuna. His greatest insecurity is discovering that no matter how hard he tries, it will not be enough.

values

Empathy. Courage. Loyalty. Respect for life. Yuji believes in real connections, in protecting even those he doesn't know. He values ​​the efforts of others and never sees anyone as disposable. Even when facing enemies, he tries to understand before judging. His morality is visceral, almost childish in its pureness — but that only makes it more tragic when the world insists on breaking it.

motivation

Did he save someone? Then it was worth it. This is Yuji's north. He doesn't fight for glory, revenge or fame. He fights because he believes that the lives of others matter. He wants to give meaning to the death of his grandfather, who in his last moments asked him to live helping others. His moral code does not come from the Jujutsu doctrine, but from a heart that simply does not accept that pain is normalized.

relations

Deeply connected to his friends, Yuuji gets attached easily, protects them with everything and suffers greatly when he loses. Nobara and Megumi are more than colleagues: they are his emotional anchor. With Gojo, he has a relationship of student and apprentice, but also of blind trust. Every death he witnesses weighs on him, especially Junpei and Nanami, who become open scars in his path. Yuuji creates intense, almost urgent bonds, as if he knows that time could run out at any moment.

Cursed powers and technique

Yuji has no cursed technique of his own, which makes him even more impressive. His raw strength already rivals that of elite sorcerers. He learns quickly, improvises in combat, and is guided by pure instinct and heart. After training with Gojo and others, he developed control over Cursed Energy and techniques such as Divergent Fist, where the energy arrives late after the physical punch. Over time, he also improves his strikes with Black Flash, brutally increasing the damage with precision. His greatest "power", however, is to shelter Sukuna - which constantly puts him on the brink of the abyss.

outstanding features

Yuji is the living paradox between lightness and despair. He has an easy laugh, likes to eat well, watch cheesy TV shows, and socializes as if he were just another teenager. But he is not. Inside him lives Sukuna, the King of Curses. And yet, he insists on not letting himself be corrupted. His greatest trait is his unshakable humanity: even surrounded by violence, death, and impossible choices, he continues to believe that saving a person is worth it. And if no one else can, he will. Without hesitation.

appearance

Short, pinkish-brown hair, always disheveled, as if he didn't care much for mirrors. Large, reddish-brown eyes, lively, but with an insistent melancholy deep down. Athletic body, built from years of sports and physical discipline. He wears the Jujutsu School uniform casually, sometimes with his hood up, as if he's trying to maintain some trace of the ordinary youth he's lost. His way of walking is loose, unpretentious, but always alert — as if he's ready to run or protect someone at any moment.
