Jujutsu Kaisen is currently in a very exciting face phase as the Culling Game arc reaches its climax. Over the course of the last few months, the Culling Game arc has really picked up quite a lot and has delivered some exciting fights, one after another. Fans have seen the likes of Gojo, among others, in full flight in the course of the last few months, and this appears to be a repeating pattern as an incredibly exciting fight was set up towards the end of the last chapter as well.

Gojo's return is imminent in JJK after big hints being dropped in chapter 248.

While Sukuna was already engaged in combat with Yuji, now, Yuta joined the battles with Rika, and an incredible fight between these individuals was set up. Fans are very excited to see this fight play out and while most of them have, understandably, bet on Sukuna to win this fight, they might be in for a surprise as Yuta could pull the rabbit out of the hat and defeat Sukuna in the most shocking of ways.

Yuta Vs Sukuna Begins

Sukuna's fight against Yuta began in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 248. This chapter was incredibly exciting as the vast majority of it focused on Sukuna trying to finally understand if he had changed over the thousand-year course of time. He also finally acknowledged Yuji and his indomitable will and accepted the fact that despite him not being on the same level as him, he still possesses a soul that is worthy of making Sukuna question his own beliefs. Fans already know that Sukuna is fighting his last few fights and that, at some point in the story, he will be taken down. And now, the chances for that have dramatically increased as Yuta and Rika join the battle towards the end of JJK chapter 248.

Yuta joining the battle meant that he successfully killed Kenjaku and that, now, all his focus is going to be on Sukuna. This also means that Yuta will most definitely make full use of all his powers and the plan from here onwards is going to be just to throw everything at the King of Curses and hope that he gets overwhelmed or tires out or, potentially even loses the battle entirely. Immediately after arriving at the battlefield, Yuta apologized to Yuji, and then, he used his sword to launch an attack on Sukuna, which the King of Curses retaliated by empowering his fingers with cursed energy. Immediately after, Rika joined the battle as well and lost a powerful attack on Sukuna, which the King of Curses had to block with all his arms. This incredible fight has already begun and fans are excited to see how it progresses down the line.

Sukuna's Current Condition

Of course, fans are wondering as to who the stronger sorcerer is when it comes to Yuta and Sukuna. The answer to this question is quite simple and that person is none other than Sukuna. Now, fans might even wonder as to who the stronger between Sukuna and Rika is. This is quite an intriguing question, as both of them carry interesting titles. Rika is known as the Queen of Curses, while Sukuna is known as the King of Curses. Both are known to be incredibly powerful and both possess limitless reserves of cursed energy. However, while this fight might seem close to some, Gege, the author of the series, has already addressed this and confirmed Sukuna to be the stronger of the two.

Yuta takes on Sukuna with Rika's help in JJK.

While all this has been confirmed already, one would wonder whether this battle is predetermined. However, things are quite different as this is not a battle between a fresh Sukuna and a fresh Rika. Instead, fans should remember that Sukuna is already been worn out and tired and Yuta, on the other hand, is largely fresh in combat.

For those who don't remember, Sukuna lost his ability to use domain expansion when he fought against Gojo. Using the power of Unlimited Void, Gojo managed to successfully fry Sukuna's brains and made him bleed from his eyes. Because of that, Sukuna cannot utilize this power now. At the same time, Sukuna has been weakened to a point where he cannot even utilize the power of reverse cursed technique properly. He has taken quite a lot of damage and all the injuries that he receives are slow to heal.

Furthermore, his entire cursed energy output has likely been depleted quite a bit. All things taken into consideration, it is clear for the fans to see that Sukuna is far from being at his best. Because of that, this fight somewhat evens out for characters such as Yuta and Rika.

Rika Vs Sukuna

When comparing Rika and Sukuna, it is clear for the fans to see that, in general, Sukuna is much stronger. However, when one compares the weakened version of Sukuna to Rika, who has likely grown much stronger at this point in the story, then this battle could be closer than one would think. Rika is incredibly powerful and certainly a difference-maker in the fight against Sukuna. Fans will most definitely get to see the full extent of her power very soon in the series and it goes without saying that Rika can hold her own against Sukuna. Added to that is the fact that Yuta is going to join her in the battle as well. If these two use their incredible teamwork against Sukuna and showcase what they're capable of against the King of Curses, then he could very well have his back turned against the wall.

Furthermore, there are more abilities that Yuta possesses that fans have not seen just yet. He can make use of his Copy technique to showcase abilities that he has already held and that he will pull off in this upcoming fight. Furthermore, fans know that Yuta possesses the ability to utilize Domain Expansion as well. Unfortunately, fans have not seen his domain and what it does. Because of that, there is another trump card that Yuta possesses that fans will see very soon in the fight against Sukuna.

How Yuta Can Beat Sukuna

Essentially, the way for you not to beat Sukuna is rather easy. Sukuna is already weakened by Gojo to a point where he cannot use Domain Expansion. His healing is rather slow and, thanks to Higuruma, his cursed tool, Kamutoke, has been taken away from him too. Further, Yuji exists in battle to aid Yuta, and the Queen of Curses, Rika, is on his side as well. Yuta possesses some trump cards up his sleeve, such as his cursed technique as well as his domain expansion. Taking into consideration all these things, one can see why Yuta has a chance of defeating Sukuna and why this could potentially end up being the final fight in the culling game arc.

Of course, knowing that Sukuna possesses tremendous strength, Yuta could end up losing the fight or potentially even his life, however, the chances for him to win are certainly there as well.

Jujutsu Kaisen is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 249, is set to be February 4, 2024.
