Yuta

Yuta

Yuta Okkotsu is a major supporting character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series and the main protagonist of its prequel series, Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Jujutsu High. He was initially a special grade cursed human haunted by his late childhood friend, Rika Orimoto. Satoru Gojo mentored Yuta and enrolled him at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Yuta is currently a second-year student at Jujutsu High where he works as a jujutsu sorcerer. He was training overseas in Africa with Miguel until after the Shibuya Incident when he returned to Tokyo.

appearance

Yuta is a young man with disheveled black hair and dark blue eyes. As a first-year, Yuta's body language made it obvious that he was under a lot of stress. His posture was very unconfident, and he still has dark circles under his eyelids from a lack of sleep. As a second-year student, Yuta's hair has grown longer and he wears it in a more relaxed style instead of a spiky one. At his old school, Yuta wore a suit for his uniform. He sported a long-sleeve shirt that stops at his forearms or a black t-shirt and dark green pants for casual wear. After transferring to Tokyo Jujutsu High, Yuta received a specialized uniform. Yuta has a loose white uniform jacket with sleeves that stop at his forearms. He also wears slender blue jeans that tuck into white sneakers that match his jacket. Yuta also often carries his katana case on his back. Following his temporary brain transfer into Satoru Gojo's body from Copying Kenjaku's technique, Yuta has a stitched scar circling his head. While his timid nature stays intact, Yuta slowly becomes more social and interacts with others normally. Even after early signs of improvement, Yuta still struggled to understand someone like Toge Inumaki. He was initially scared of Toge until he realized how kind of a person he truly is and made an effort to establish a social connection

Gaining friends helps Yuta gain confidence in himself and establish the goal to help set Rika free. He felt responsible for her turning into a curse in the first place and worked extremely hard to find a way to help her. He pushed himself during training and took all his friends' and mentors' words to heart, showing a more determined side of himself. At his core, Yuta wants to become someone who can help keep others out of danger. Against Suguru Geto, Yuta showed the darkest side of himself. Geto hurt Yuta's only friends, and the young man was more than willing to kill him for it. Yuta's rage allowed him to even command Rika's power at will. He was willing to sacrifice his life to use Rika to kill Geto to avenge his friends, the only people who give him the confidence to continue living. When Yuta returned to Jujutsu High after time away overseas, he was accompanied by a new Rika and it appeared as if he was lost in his darkness. He agreed to kill Gojo's other pupil, Yuji Itadori for the higher-ups and claimed it was revenge for cutting off Toge's arm.[14] Yuta carried a deathly serious and cold persona who was straight to the point. He attempted to kill Yuji before so much as exchanging words and then apologized while committing the act. However, this was all an act to help protect Yuji from the higher-ups. Yuta had to act a certain way to make it believable and he healed Yuji before the first-year died permanently. Even though Yuta has never met Yuji, he went out of his way to deceive authority and help Yuji because Gojo asked him to. Yuji is important to people who are precious to Yuta and that was more than enough reason for him to help. He also sympathizes with Yuji because he was in the exact same situation, up for execution bearing a power he could not hope to contain. Yuta doesn't blame Yuji for Sukuna's actions.

Without the false guise of a cold killer, Yuta is still a naturally friendly person who has developed a lot as a person. He's much more social and is less timid than he used to be. When Gojo visited Yuta in Africa, the outspoken teacher was surprised his student was even telling jokes. Yuta assimilated comfortably back into interacting with his peers and dedicated himself to helping them. He agreed to help Megumi rescue his sister from the Culling Game. He also did his diligence as a senpai and agreed to stop Sukuna should he ever take control of Yuji's body again. Upon reuniting with Maki, Yuta was excited to see her and expressed concern about her injuries.When it appeared as if Master Tengen's barrier had rejected their group, Yuta was concerned and quick to suggest they turn back because Megumi's sister didn't have time to waste. Once Tengen allowed them inside and provided crucial information, Yuta agreed to enter the Culling Game right away by himself. He also suggested they get Kinji Hakari's help despite his moodiness and was modest enough to say that Hakari's strength sometimes surpasses his own. During the Culling Game, Yuta displayed his selflessness as well as his propensity to be ruthless. He had no gripes about killing enemy sorcerers to obtain the necessary points to help save Tsumiki. Yuta killed at least seven sorcerers before cutting down Dhruv Lakdawalla and he targeted the latter simply because he was a danger to the public. He believed that any potential danger couldn't be allowed to leave the colony and only took out the other players when it was completely necessary.

Overall Skill Level: Yuta is one of only four special grade sorcerers recognized by Jujutsu High. While being haunted by Rika's vengeful spirit, Yuta was immediately registered as a special grade due to Rika's immense power, making him the most recent person to receive the ranking. Yuta was completely unaware of how to fight or control his cursed energy when Satoru threw him into his first mission. He relied on Maki until they were swallowed by a curse and it came down to Yuta to rescue everyone inside. Yuta was able to tap into his emotions and fully manifest Rika, ripping the other curse apart and freeing everyone. Yuta barely carried everyone outside the barrier but he used what little physical strength and stamina he had to finish the mission. This made Yuta painfully aware of how weak he was, so Maki trained him on the basics of armed combat for three months before his next assignment. He was never able to land a hit on Maki but always trained hard to improve himself and started to move a lot better. However, in his second mission, an exorcism with Toge, Yuta still found himself relying on his classmate's skill. When a semi-grade 1 curse ambushed them, Toge was injured saving Yuta. Yuta stepped up on his own without relying on Rika and helped Toge exorcise it. Yuta's training allowed him to avoid most of the cursed spirit's attacks and he even landed a counterattack. It was just a shallow slash, however, due to the toughness of the curse and Yuta's poor cursed energy control at the time. Apparently, during the 2017 Goodwill Event, Yuta completely dominated all of the Kyoto Jujutsu High competitors, including Aoi Todo. There is no record of him fully manifesting Rika at that time but Maki noted she was still around and was likely the reason Yuta won the event.

Yuta has continued to hone his skill as a swordsman and still wields a katana as his weapon of choice. His skills have improved dramatically and are perfectly balanced with his enhanced cursed energy manipulation, allowing Yuta to wield a blade with superhuman physical prowess. He's fast and makes decisive attacks that Yuji could barely avoid. The blade is constantly surging with cursed energy just like the rest of Yuta's body, giving it superior cutting ability. He defeated a large cursed spirit with a diving stab so powerful it cracked the ground beneath them. Yuta cut down Dhruv Lakdawalla using his katana and fought on even terms with Kurourushi using it as well. Rika has gained the ability to store cursed tools, implying Yuta is now capable of utilizing a wide variety of weapons. He chose a steel arm attachment to fight Takako Uro and used it to further reinforce his close combat skills Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Yuta has grown into a very capable hand-to-hand combatant who is more than comfortable engaging his opponent's up close. He generally throws single powerful smashing blows that can crush his opponent in a single move. A mere front kick to Yuji's sternum was enough to send him reeling back and one backhand from Yuta knocked Choso out cold. Yuta employs hand-to-hand combat consistently against extraordinary opponents in the Culling Game. He used his katana to disarm Kurorushi before hitting the special grade cockroach curse with a powerful backfist. Yuta fought the early stages of his battle with Takako Uro and Ryu Ishigori entirely barehanded against their powerful cursed techniques. High Tactical Intellect: Yuta is a smart individual but was initially a complete novice sorcerer and could hardly apply his intellect to battle. However, he's always had a good idea of his skillset and how to best use it. When he and Toge were faced with a semi-grade 1 curse, Yuta was aware he couldn't win on his own and focused on restoring Toge's cursed speech

Currently, Yuta is entirely capable of solving most conflicts with brute force, but now he has the experience to properly apply his intellect to battle. He also uses his wits to navigate other situations in the jujutsu world, such as when he was selected to execute Yuji. Yuta entered a binding vow with higher-ups and managed to fool them by stopping Yuji's heart and immediately healing him with reverse cursed technique. He was aware very few people knew about his ability to output positive energy and that Yuji had "died" and returned to life before. Thanks to his act, Yuta fooled the higher-ups and took Yuji off their radar.Cursed Energy Capacity: Yuta's immense cursed energy comes from his genetic relation to Michizane Sugawara. It only first manifested when he transformed a loved one into a cursed spirit. Rika became a vengeful spirit so powerful that Geto, an avid collector of curses, dubbed her the "Queen of Curses." Rika's boundless cursed energy Cursed Energy Manipulation: In his second year as a sorcerer, Yuta improved his cursed energy control dramatically. Yuta understands that he carries vast levels of cursed energy and now knows how to apply it accordingly. He has been training his weak body and constantly strengthens it in battle with massive amounts of cursed energy. This puts Yuta's reinforcement technique on a level that far surpasses even an elite sorcerer's, making his attacks difficult to predictcould be shaped into any technique, allowing Yuta to use advanced curse techniques within a year of learning the fundamentals of jujutsuYuta retains the massive amounts of cursed energy that were unraveled from Rika's curse even after her spirit passed on. His cursed energy capacity exceeds even that of Satoru Gojo. Yuji and Choso could immediately feel that Yuta's volume of cursed energy was comparable with Gojo, with the former claiming it was more creepy and ominous. Ryu Ishigori, the Culling Game player with the highest cursed energy output.

cursed techniques

Rika: The cursed spirit that remains with Yuta after Rika Orimoto passed away. She serves as the external storage for Yuta's cursed techniques and cursed tools. Yuta has much greater control over this version of Rika but this curse maintains the same immature and protective nature as she did before. Rika can partially manifest and lash out at her to protect Yuta without him commanding her to do so. She normally acts on Yuta's commands but she can act independently at a fair distance away from Yuta to perform separate tasks as well. It doesn't require Yuta to use any intense emotions to call Rika and she can appear rather quickly, allowing Yuta to call her to his side at any moment's notice. Rika maintains her same trademark power as well, able to immobilize Yuji with ease and crumble a bridge with a single strike.Complete Manifestation: While connected to Rika through his ring, Yuta can fully manifest Rika, use cursed techniques, and access her supply of cursed energy to replenish his own. Rika can also store a wide range of cursed tools and can equip them to Yuta. Yuta can maintain a sustained connection with Rika and remain in this state for five minutes at a time. Copy: While connected to Rika, Yuta can copy innate techniques and use them. He can even use multiple different techniques that he's copied in quick succession. The conditions under which he can copy a technique are not fully known, but it is implied he gained the ability to copy Uro's when Rika consumed her arm. Hollow Technique: purple An advanced technique that collides the Lapse and Reversal of the Limitless, resulting in an imaginary mass that is launched at the target to deal destructive damage. Yuta successfully fired Hollow Purple at Sukuna after immobilizing him with Toge's Cursed Speech and chanting the incantations for the technique, injuring him to the point of disengaging his domain. However, his inexperience with the technique caused him to destroy his own domain's barrier, he can use rct

cursed tools

Katanas: Early in Yuta's training, Satoru took him to the cursed tool vault and provided him with a katana. The goal was for Yuta to learn to fight while also learning to channel cursed energy into an object. At first, Yuta struggled to properly focus his cursed energy on the blade and only managed shallow cuts against cursed spirits. After vigorous training and experience on missions, Yuta learns to properly wield the sword with Rika's power. However, it was a standard katana and could not take an overflow of cursed energy, breaking as a result. Yuta is able to replace his katanas whenever they break and his preferred form of combat eventually evolved into swordplay reinforced with jujutsu.Steel Arm: Among the many weapons that Yuta keeps inside Rika is a metal arm casing that can be attached by Rika. The cursed tool covers Yuta's entire arm in a metal shell and further reinforces his punches. It was used to pummel Takako Uro but was eventually broken by her Thin Ice Breaker, absorbing the impact for Yuta.

domain expansion

Authentic Mutual Love: The domain is a field of cross-like structures littered with countless katanas and encircled by ropes tied together in a fashion symbolic of love. Yuta can wield any of the katanas and activate copied cursed techniques without any restrictions. A copied cursed technique also serves as the sure-hit effect of the domain.

Rika

Rika was a young human girl with a small fragile frame, long black hair that reached her shoulders, soft eyes, and peach-colored skin with a beauty mark below the chin on the left side. She wore a sleevless black dress with a white collar decorated with hearts and purple shoes. Rika's appearance as a vengeful curse was completely different. She was a larger monstrous curse with a large muscular upper body, long arms, and a tail-like shadow that served as her lower body. She had a single cycloptic eye that was normally hidden behind a shell that looks similar to a brain. Extending from her head were several tendrils, and she had long untrimmed fingernails as well as a mouth full of thin sharp teeth. Rika Orimoto is a character in the Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Jujutsu High prequel series. She was the childhood friend of Yuta Okkotsu who tragically died when she was hit by a car. Her spirit was cursed, transforming her into a powerful special grade vengeful cursed spirit worthy of the moniker "Queen of Curses". Rika spent years haunting Yuta as a curse until he attended Tokyo Jujutsu High where he learned to unravel the curse on Rika's spirit, finally allowing her to pass on to the afterlife.
