I love how this guy "fully understands" the manga at each chapter's release and then he gets it all wrong when the next chapter comes out

Sukuna: Gain powers by eating Yuji: Gain powers by eating

So Sukunas shrine was actually is OG technique and cleave/dismantle was the twins, he ate the twin which let him use cleave and dismantle

My theory is that Shrine doesn’t actually copy techniques but instead creates new ones based on the user. We know techniques are determined in part by what the user enjoys, this why Naobito had an animation based CT and why Hakari has his entire gimmick. Shrine lets you “Reroll” your technique to something else you’re interested in and stores that to be accessed later. Sukuna loves two things, killing things and eating them. So his techniques are chef’s knives and a fire arrow to cook people. Yuji loves movies so his version of cleave is based scissors used for editing film.

Gege has already explained what's Sukuna's CT in the databook at page 165: Sukuna's CT - Shrine "Released by the King of Curses himself, it’s a slashing hellfire of slaughter. Cursed techniques commonly only have one characteristic, but Sukuna’s technique has been confirmed to have at least two - slashing and flames - which makes it exceptionally powerful. Once it’s activated, it will destroy the enemy in an instant, tearing them apart and burning them down to their bone marrow. Only a few people are able to fight this technique even for a moment, and most are reduced to nothing before they can resist" The flames and slashes are just a part of his CT, and yes, this does mean that Yuta and Yuji should be capable of executing Fuga either now or in the future. Double Fuga against Sukuna will truly be the greatest moment of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Turning a Sukuna vid into the indirect Yuta glazing is foul work. Great job Allons, really digging the theory

On another note I find it interesting how Yuji's dismantle and cleave is being pictured. Cutting scissors which remind me of cutting video material. That made me think of the times when Todo and Choso had those memory flashbacks. Almost like Yuji cut and edited a film scene and inserted it in their soul. Got me then thinking about how he had to watch so many movies to get a better understanding of curse technique. Additonally, I get the feeling he can apply his cleave and dismantle but delay the cut (similar to how his divergent fist is a delayed curse energy impact).

More specifically, Sukuna's "shrine" is a "mizushi", a nobleman's kitchen. So there you go.

Sukuna's bath ritual is suspicious as well. It's a ritual for making cursed objects and it's clearly implied that he performed this (possibly multiple times) before in the past. He even performed this ritual after taking a bite out of Angel. I think the shrine CT is a technique for storing and drawing out cursed object (power) instead of other CT. If this is true, than he doesn't need to be limited by the 3-4 CT rule.

Im pretty sure Angel told Gojo (and everyone else) what Sukunas technique is, how else would he know it by NAME. It also fits your theory as to why Gojo was questioning him not using "other techniques". And the "King of Curses" thing is a really good theory and probably correct. Its been right in our faces and makes almost too much sense

How convenient that all the in-universe characters who would know what his technique is are all dead

I wonder if the fire arrow is his twin's cursed technique

Sukuna after getting beaten down by most innocent yuji, Fk fun, amma gonna activate merger 😂😂

I think sukuna Cursed technique revolves around ccoking i.e cutting( Cleave and Dismantle), fire for cooking (Fire arrow) and maybe water technique (referring to washing food before cooking or eating) and maybe his technique innately has ability to store techniques of the curses and sorcerers he eats like absorbing Nutrients from food. And uraume freezing cursed technique is useful to preserve food.

I like this theory, but I like to think that instead of copying from the people he eats he can see how it works/the true essence of their curse technique so instead of just copying their techniques he makes it better so he ends up copying their curse technique but also getting a better version of their curse technique I think its that way cause he says "open black box" so I think when he "opens the black box" he sees how it works and can refine it.

In that train of thought, would Yuta inherit "shrine" rather than dismantle by having Rika consuming a finger?

That curses bit is actually so cool (king and queen of curses yap)

I hope you do a video explaining Gojo’s Six eyes and limitless cuz most KZfaqrs make it boring or convoluted but the manga also makes it pretty vague on its limits and applications when in the context of gojo Like six eyes feels like future sight where it isn’t explained but you saying “he understands the details of a cursed technique” is something I agree is part of gojo’s six eyes

Hey bro!!! You are cooking so much!!! (Pls do Kagurabachi content)

what if shrine was like the ten shadows, where you get cleave and dismantle for free and have to earn your other techniques?

if yuta didnt have rika , he could only copy 1 tecnick per time and would not have a storage , but sukuna have the storage

10:56 *LET* *BRO* *COOK*

you know what i am going to say. PLAY THE DAMN JUJUTSU KAISEN MINECRAFT MOD. (or, you dont like Yuta)

no , yuta has no confirmed requirement to copy yet and its certainly not eating since he didnt eat a part of inumaki

MALEVOLENT KITCHEN. Does nobody remember that? Sukuna is a chef of curses energy. He takes what you bring to the table and cooks with it. Think about it like "cursed manipulation" except only for techniques and not curses. He has them all tucked away like a spice cabinet. Much like a chef He can spot good ingredients from a mile away.

Might explain why Sukuna was able to tank Angel’s CT. Turns out, Sukuna might have brains.

Awesome vid Here's my silly 2 cents: I think he also modifies techniques, kinda like how the body turns food into energy... turning them from "objects of worship" into actually divine-like techniques. case in point fire that can kill the fire curse itself. Also, while he may not understand the black box itself, he seems to understand in precise detail exactly what input is needed in order to recreate it as a specific output... plus maybe the reason he doesn't use them at the same time may be a vow, in exchange for learning the input-output sequence of the black box... that or, he actually doesn't have multiple techniques stored and ready, but instead that he has to re-create them each time he wants to use them, from their base input...like how he used Mahoraga as a model, input it, and created his own attack, and now needs steps to activate it coz of his vow

This would also explain how Sukuna tanked Jacob's Ladder in Yuta's domain. An individual receives less damage from their own cursed techniques as well as cursed energy. Obviously his CE won't be the same as Angel's, but his having assimilated Jacob's Ladder would probably offer him quite a lot of protection. Now, as for Yuta and Rika, let's keep in mind their stolen abilities are temporary. He loses them upon using them.

Max output Jacob's ladder against rika would go so hard

I’d like to add 1 more addition. The finger bearer used energy very similar to how sukkuna used the fire arrow. So maybe certain techniques are ingrained into his fingers. The finger bearer had the technique “arrow” is what I’m implying.

Sukunas black box open was him saying shrine open. In hidden inventory the villagers were talking to someone about geto and were speaking in black boxes. Cleave and dismantle are sukunas SPECIFICALLY since theyre his domains technique, aka an evolution of his cutting property from his shrine. Opening his shrine will give him access to different properties.

Amazing as usual, really appreciate ur insight and theories breh

The shrine already possess different techniques like ten shadow but without shikigami to channel them and I don't think sukuna can copy other techniques If the shrine at least possess 20 techniques, but the techniques are showed like sword×wind or arrow×fire... Perhaps If sukuna can copy a technique it will possible because he can put his opponent technique in a tool and store the tool in the shrine to extract the technique when he need it.

I think why he ate angel's arm was to get immunity against Jacob's ladder .(your own CT doesn't affect you as much as others)

Another thing that adds to the theory that shrine is a storage technique is how Yuji has two curse techniques: shrine itself and blood manipulation. He is able to use two different abilities-cleave/dismantle and also supernova and piercing blood.

Please please take a time to read this - Yuji engraved with sukuna's technique after housing him and the technique was slashing (cleave and dismantle) Yuta ate one finger of sukuna and technique granted by it was slashing (cleave and dismantle) So my theory goes sukuna's true cursed technique is only cleave and dismantle and the flame we see him using is his cursed tool "Hiten" which we can also see on volume covers and kasimo also mentions this According to my theory before becaming a cursed object sukuna used to use hiten externally but before dying and becaming a cursed object sukuna engraved that cursed tool in his body which can only be accessed by sukuna by chanting open About hiten , hiten resembles trisula from Hindu mythology and trisula is known to produce flames that can burn anything in this universe so hiten's power is fire. Thanks for reading 🙏🏻

SPOILER ALERT ⚠️ the leaks just came out and said his knives and fire are all part of a kitchen or chef which there are references to that as well. His flames are just the fire used to cook food

I've been saying this for a long while now. This is a little bit better fleshed out than what I surmised but is essentially what I think it is. Four horseman is megumi, yuta, yuji, and maki because I also have a theory about that

10:08 had me crying with the “Weakana” 😂😂

Absolutely brilliant video.

Yuji will eventually use all the techniques he consumed from the death paintings against Sukuna’s collected techniques.

I actually think sukuna has 2 CT, The first one is shrine which is actually sukuna's brother CT, that's why yuji can use shrine and the second is Box which is he's actual CT. I actually made a full video on this on my channel

So he ate sorcerers his whole life and stored them but never use any of it except fire arrow. While yuta displayed a shit ton of curse technique in a span of few years as a teenager

Theory: Gojo already knew everything about Sukuna and this is why he was so confident about their duel. Gojo lost because Sukuna pulled out a technique Gojo knew but without the requirements, thus catching him off guard. I believe Gojo already knew everything about Sukuna and never considered him a threat. But Sukuna made a special condition to allow him to do a world slash as quick as he did. Gojo was a mastermind who got surprised, that's really it.

My thing is why yuji and yuta have cleave . If it was a copying technique they would have the storage aspect not cleave. Unless cleave is a default for shrine. I dont know

Oh… so that’s why rika is called the “queen of curses…”

Ok this does make a fuck ton of sense

I've been waiting for this video 😢

You can add on that like the ten shadows; anyone with shrine starts out with a sort of cleave and dismantle and as they attain more abilities they can then switch them out Like Yuji having the cutting ability innately within him and the blood manipulation arguably also within himself (But honestly it could just be a side effect of the womb paintings and sukuna within himself)

Also consider when Sukuna said "Here is the queen," how he referred to her as the queen while he himself is the king. But he was trying to kill her. Obviously she's not his wife. So before we thought that this was just coincidence, having coorelated names. But here is the actual reason.

Ok there is three issues with that imo : 1) Sukuna recognise Yuta CT as copy. If they had the same CT, he woudnt say that and probably say "that kid has the same CT as me" or smtg like that. 2) Unless i miss something, that doesnt explain the cleave power. If cleave was just a technique among other stored by shrine, why would it be the one yuji specifically use from the getgo. To me cleave seems like an inherent part of Sukuna initial power, not something he stole. 3) That doesnt explain why Sukuna never rly use others CT except "Open" and the fire arrows brievly. He has no reason to hold them in his current situation

😱Sakuna didn't "eat" his twin. Not like he bit, chewed, and swallowed. In the womb, he had no teeth, that makes biting and chewing impossible. He means he absorbed him, PARTIALLY! That explains his form. They were conjoined twins?!?!? One twin is absorbed into the other sometimes resulting in some rough combinations. That's why Sakuna says he "was born a cursed, unwanted, wretched child." His folks saw him come out looking like he "ate" the other twin and immediately didn't want him. I just figured out what's in Yuji's shrine: Cleave and dismantle. CTs are imprinted on the brain from birth. So, a CT that allows Sakuna the ability to eat and store other people's CTs is what he was born with. One of the twins had cleave and dismantle, and the other had shrine. Shrine to store and Cleave and Dismantle to "eat." Sakuna was born with both CTs because he's two people in one deformed body!!!

Yuta was supposed to be the original protagonist for JJK, so it would also make sense narrative wise for the main protagonist and antagonist to have the same technique/power, but in slightly different ways.

Next video after 258: Sukuna's TRUEST REALEST MOST REAL FACTUAL technique finally EXPLAINED?!

Truly

I don't think he has Jacob ladder in his arsenal,...i think he has more immunity against the technique which explain why he takes the light beam without receiving to much damage, it's perhaps a natural ability.

I think u theory about shrine is half correct. But I think many people over look real world clues that gege leaves. One being how kenjaku n sakuna talk about true jujutsu/ Buddhism. In Buddhism a shrine is also known as a stupa, which is made up the 5 elements in 5 levels. I also believe that dismantle and cleave are wind cutting techniques. Like the rasenshuriken from Naruto. The “black box” Is probably a door that opens the shrine that allows him to access different elements, since each element has a separate level.

My guy gets it💯

Every other character in JJK is an original Sukuna is based off the real life myth of Ryomen Sukuna a powerful being with two sets of arms and legs who was considered a natural calamity much like JJK’s. History says he was a villian who plundered and murdered but he was also a great enemy of the emperor so it’s often been wondered if history told by the emperor was a lie since Sukuna was worshiped as a diety and hero by the people. His story is seen as one of an anti government moral. According to folklore, Sukuna was the founding patron of the Senko-Ji and Zenkyu-ji temples, introducing Buddhism to Hida Province, and he is worshipped in many other old temples in the Hida and Mino Provinces, both of which are in present-day Gifu prefecture. Furthermore, the Kurai Mountain in Gifu is worshipped as a shintaizan - a sacred dwelling of a deity. However, the real deity of the mountain is unknown, and one theory suggests that Ryomen Sukuna is its hidden deity. I wonder if you have to offer a technique to Sukuna as an offering for him to take it into his black box or “shrine”

Another few cool little notes: The page in which the panel where which Sukuna says "he can use it"... the whole panel is a black box... I think this is implying that Sukuna is referencing that Yuji can use the Black Box Open technique, not referencing the Cleave/Dismantle technique. When Sukuna says "is he trying to climb up to my level" about Yuji blowing his back out with those Black Flashes... I'm pretty sure what he's suggesting is that hitting Black Flash after Black Flash, ad infinitum is exactly how HE got to be as powerful as he is; it's how Sukuna awakened. *Easter Egg: this would also imply that Sukuna is the actual current BF record holder, and I think we're gonna get a flash back that will show Sukuna hitting BF after BF after BF, etc... against someone, and awakening, and it'll be a huge number, maybe higher than the current record, and then Yuji is gonna top that record.

I have a better solution, Yuta's ability ISN'T copy. Unless someone can point out a scene where GOJO directly refers to Yuta's ability as copy I'm willing to wager Yuta's ACTUAL ability is Rika. There is a databook that refers to Yuta's cursed technique as just "Rika". RIKA'S cursed technique isn't copy, its SHRINE. Rika and Yuta's connection allows Yuta to use Shrine. This explains how Sukuna and Rika are the king and queen of curses, they have the same cursed technique.

I agree with most of your theory, I give you a hint: ORIGINALLY IT WAS TRANSLATED AS MALEVOLENT KITCHEN the Kanji for kitchen and shrine can change according to the context, I don't like Sukuna to be able to copy any technique he absorbs bc is already too OP for an OP character, to me the Fuga fire is one of the process that a kitchen needs to cook, fire, water, mixing and salt and pepper (XD) JK, but seriously, the first 3 elements could be part of it, plus Sukuna has explained that he see his cuts techniques as kitchen knives

My prediction is similar. I theorized we would get basically honored one level yuta and yuji face against a full power sukuna. But I don't see maki playing a huge role in the finale mainly because we kinda wrapped her main story with the zenin clan.

Wouldnt it also make sense why Yuiji have cleave and blood manipulation because he ate, sukuna finger and his brothers.

Rather than techniques, I think Shrine copies cursed energy properties. Like how Kashimo is electric and Hakari is rough as sandpaper, I think that Cleave is just a really sharp cursed energy property and Fire Arrow is just a really hot cursed energy property. This allows him to manipulate the nature of his energy on the fly, but since it doens't give him any pre-written powers he has to be creative in how he applies them. That's why Cleave, Dismantle, and World Slash are so different - he's taking the same basic energy property and applying it in different ways by adding binding vows or reshaping it with barriers. It would also explain why he's so good at improvising his powers and learning new applications of cursed energy - his whole technique requires mastering the fundamentals of cursed energy in countless different ways.

i think since his domain has no barrier weak people can get near it unaffected unlike gojo using domain in shibuya thus people can worship sukuna through giving their body to the shrine that then stores the engraved technique in someone that sacrificed themselves. since the shrine has mouth it can consume and imo its a little bit more plausible outcome of the whole cannibalism thing

now we know he has the kitchen like the arrow is the stove or sum

What confuses me is why did Yoro Ask Soukouna why he wasn’t using shrine, If shrine is the ability to switch between a slot of techniques/hold them, And he was using the 10 shadows wouldn’t that mean he was also using shrine …. To me shrine seems like an actual offensive attack but idk

I just think that ◼️ is the name of his twins curse technique, because we can assume that techniques are named and as his twin would have died before naming his ability, the technique would have no name.

Pretty solid i dig it

Just want to point out 1 thing, it's more likely the CTs are engraved into the soul and in the JJK universe, the soul and the body are one, see toji's resurrection

5:24 if sukuna got jacobs ladder here, it would explain why it was so ineffective when yuta used it against him

You are like the Uraume to all of us Sukunas. Please keep cooking, chef 🔥

He ATE A curse user. His second technique WAS his brother's Or I'm wrong becauee rhe story tells you everything that's about to happen and we just say "nah ots not that simple"

That black box is just censorship. It's not a chant. It's the name of the flame technique that Gege censored. Fuga (open) is the chant. (This is confirmed.)

Damn if Sukuna really has Jacobs ladder after eating a part of hana that explains why he was able to tank it's maxium output against Yuta lol If it's confirmed all the Sukuna and Gege haters are gonna be mad , thinking gege does shit for the sake of it. Kinda funny how everybody was complaining about Sukuna being op but then completely change tone when Yuji awkaned and hit him with the consecutive black flashes. Yall should just wait for the chapters cause Gege is cooking

This has been my favorite weekly manga experience so far, and NAHHH GEGE REALLY SAID IN THE KITCHEN WHIPPIN HARD💀 is that a relicquary? Or the spice/utensil cabinet idek anymore. sukuna so petty he deadass took our boi ankle and exposed the cast-iron stove on fuckin live after he caught nephew crack a smile and heard us cheer and roast his ass from beyond the fourth wall said"yall wanna roast now? Sukuna kaisen 9 weeks and yall switch that fast trynna roast? Bet keep that energy" we aint even get a chapter to process that tempo switch before hitting the fuga NAHHH And sukuna gets the post reveal break NAHHHH howsanovenhotterthanavolcanothoNAHHHHHHH

I just think it’s the power to change things, yuji and sukuna got cut ( cleave and dismantle ), sukuna has delete (fire), sukuna has copy too. Yuji will get paste when he uses ct reversal.

yuji technique isn't blood and dismantle , its also shrine, that why he has blood manipulation . he has eaten his brothers womb and sukuna finger ...! damn.

Sukana is the original let him cook meme

Been saying for months his technique is exposure but tee watching this it seems your sense of self is what your god is or what your highest values consist of which manifest as curse techniques and he seems to take what your god is

Great video! No complaints. No egregious L takes as far as I noticed

This been my theory since the fuga chant. Like you said shrine is a storage of Cts which you only can use once you eat a part of somebody. This why Yuji has two Cts right now blood manipulation cause he ate 4 parts of the blood wombabd shine cause he ate sukuna fingers. I do believe that sukuna getting jumped right now but Yuji is going to 1v1 and force more of sukuna to try and use his trump card. Thus he will reveal his CT. Then he will use maybe flames or something else. Also shrine could be holding his other weapon. All and all, sorry Yuji fans but I can't agree with him finishing sukuna right now. Even when sukuna is like weakan to oblivion.

Honestly it probably is just a kitchen lol Cutting and Cooking (fire) Either that or Fuga is just his twin's technique that he devoured I doubt he's just another Yuta

I want to know more about your four horsemen theory.

I think jjk has some awful writing at this point, but I'm betting that we have a MHA explanation. The situation is probably similar to one for all where quirks can piggyback onto it. Sukuna's true CT is to gain CTs by eating people. Shrine is Yuji's ct and now Sukuna can store the CTs of his victims.

So what happened to Yuji then? If Cleave and Dismantle are someone else's Cursed Technique that Sukuna copied long ago, then why can Yuji use his own version of them despite not having copied anything other than Blood Manipulation with Shrine? Or if Yuji obtained Cleave and Dismantle specifically, then why did Sukuna say he could use "Shrine", implying he could also copy techniques? I don't see a logical explanation for how he could've both obtained Sukuna's complete Cursed Technique AND obtained the techniques it was storing. If the obtainment process was just based on being connected to Sukuna for a long time or something, then he should've just gotten Shrine in general, not anything stored in it. If the process was based on Sukuna using the Cursed Technique while in Yuji's body and imprinting it on to him, Sukuna spammed way more Cleaves and Dismantles than anything else, so Yuji should only get those. If Yuji obtained the Shrine technique and all of the presumably numerous techniques Sukuna stored in it over time, then you'd think he would be using those instead of Cleave specifically. You could argue that Yuji doesn't know anything about the technique since he just got it, but in that case, how did he even figure out how to activate Cleave? Under this theory, he would've needed to open the shrine and "equip" it first, which would then show him all the other things in his arsenal. Shrine is probably something either much more convoluted or much more simple. I can see this theory being the actual answer, but Gege will have a tough time explaining why we're just figuring out about this now.

OMG. Cleave and Dismantle were his twin's techniques and he got them when he ate his twin in the womb?

What if the black box and shrine is actually the twins technique and sukunas main technique was dismantle and cleave..

Wondering if Yuji will be the peak of sorcerers being able to use 2 techniques simultaneously Blood Manipulation to harden his body and Snip and Clip ( low output cleave and dismantle ) to yeet rocks at sukuna

5:45 Cursed techniqes are engraved in the body, the right prefrontal cortex is part of the brain which is part of the body, the body holds soul information. So the cursed techniqe is engraved in the soul too by proxy

Gojo,Yuta,Yuji jumping Sukuna would be peak fiction

Okay ngl this one of the less cope jjk channels this video makes more sense than like 80% of the other channels combined

I really hope we get an explanation on what a black box is , .. we still don't know what shrine is ..but I'm hoping sukuna goes all out.

does that mean since yuji has shrine has his shrine been copying sukunas shrine with all its stored techniques because hes been eating his fingers.

I just realized that if this is true. Then his Twins Cursed was Dismantle and Cleave

Ngl now that i think about it without even shrine and yuji can switch bodies with his soul imagine a healed gojo body but yuji accompanying it or gojo get eaten/ yuji turned into a cursed object and eaten by possessed yuji/gojo

I believe the actual physical shrine is his domain’s weakness. When Yuji fights Sukuna (after Sukuna ripped his heart out), Yuji touches the shrine (he picked one of the skulls up) and Sukuna gets irritated and tells him not to touch it. Part of the reason why Sukuna’s domain is really strong is because he gives you the ability to leave it. I think the physical shrine he’s using is another amp to his domain expansion: if you’re caught in it, you can try taking it apart by breaking the shrine. He’s literally showing you his weakness.

The only cards left unplayed besides jacobs ladder is modern shrine, after all a technique is affect by the user and yuji is not sukuna or yuta he is yuji itadori

11:07 > not Hakari YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS FOLKS NOBARA COMING BACK CONFIRMED 🗣️
