The fact Tsurika can just force themself through Marus chaos is insane. Im assuming its due to the crazy amounts of CE Yuta stored in the ring over the past 68 years. Like seriously, humble me if im wrong but I dont remember anyone in JJK doing this.

I know theorizing about how a charcater could be in their prime isnt always the best but considering all the factors Yuta eveb with a 5 minute timer had to be a monster. He'd have even more reserves of CE to play with and multiple techniques to utilize in his fights WITH Rika by his side. Rikas intelligence has also seemed to have grown as well, she just seems like she has grown a lot over the past 68 years mentally. We can assume she also knows her own capabilities too. We dont know if the fusion she performed was done before with Yuta but if not that was a pretty smart move on her end if she thought of that.

As we know sorcerers dont really stop growing and even if Yuta wanted to stop which would be out of charcater since he strives to protect those he loves and is very disciplined about his role MAKI IS RIGHT THERE. She for sure isnt going to let Yuta waste his own potential. There's also areas he can still refine like his efficiency with how he controls his cursed energy, his sword skills and other skills with weapons he has stored away, physical strength. This again is just theorizing but even if not confirmed Yuta had to be a beast.

Im still shocked no one talks about this feat though, the ring most likely still has crap tons of CE left after the ritual. If you have nothing good to say and dont want to have a actual discussion please keep it pushing with that brain rot kiddy shit. I want serious interaction not "hahJak Bumta naj,jskao slop" thank you.

Excuse me if I respond late, its night time for me so I may fall asleep soon.

He’s like the anti potential man, if he didn’t have Rika, if he didn’t use his technique, if he didn’t have such a huge pool of CE.

Sorry bro top 3 is closed 😭✌️

Imagine being so great, all of your slander are what-ifs and potential scenarios. What a goat. Also, I’m pretty sure that modulo Yuta relies on theories and headcanon for his scaling, but this is very clearly main series Yuta glaze.

i recently got into jjk a couple months ago and have loved it ever since. yuta is my fav character by far, i plan to get more yuta merch as time goes on.

the yuta and rika figures i’ve wanted to get for so long and they look amazing!

And the best thing, is that its not impossible to happen.

Of course maki and Hakari are very close to them, but I find these two to be the most impressive/powerful of the heavy hitters. It doesn’t much matter what order you put them in as the “top 2”, but I personally believe Yuta is currently superior.

i normally see people talking about how Yuta Having copy its just an excuse to make him OP and while...True it does make him OP

it also really works with the themes of the character and his driving force throughout 0 and Main Series (Even modulo if you count the Ring's importance)

Yuta as a character represents the Desire to Connect with others, he never cared about Jujutsu like Sukuna or Gojo, if anything he is the least interested in jujutsu in the main cast, for him its not a way or life or something that differentiates him from people like Geto thought (Another reason for why i consider him being his villain a really neat thing)

the only reason Yuta cares about jujutsu its as a Tool to connect with others, which was literally spelled out for us in Both chapter 0-1 and 0-2

His entire desire to get stronger its to precisely be able to understand and carry on with the burdens of his freinds, Maki herself said it to him

Which its by nature an Arrogant thing to do...Which Yuta knows and Admits proudly when he fights of Geto, and later on when he admits that he would be of no help to Uro

Yuta having Copy its just an extension of that, Yuta's biggest desire its to understand and connect with others, he is disinterested in himself SO he takes on the form of others

His CT its the literal manifestation of his desire to be able to stand toe to toe with his friends

Yuta's CT its the best thing possible to represent what he is as a Character and while i usually dont like Gege's writing patterns for his characters i would say that He Cooked with Yuta in this regard

acting like having copy makes no sense its just braindead activity when its spelled out so clearly for everyone

Let’s get the obvious out of the way. Gojo verbatim states twice that Yuta has the potential. The first time is during his talk with ijichi, whom he has no reason to lie to, especially considering the fact that he’s emotional here. And due to the six eyes, I’m sure Gojo can accurately judge someone’s potential. Plus, his potential is placed in the same realm as yuji, who did end up surpassing Gojo.

Secondly, he states Yuta may be more blessed than him. It’s heavily implied this statement is referring to potential. Friends and connections? Yuta has already taken a great amount of advantage of that. Meanwhile, he clearly has a long way to go before reaching his full potential.

During Shibuya, Gojo is confident that Yuta can replace him in his absence. At this point, Gojo has seen Yuta‘s growth and potential post jjk0, meanwhile, Kenjaku has not. And despite telling Gojo that Yuta can never match up to him, gojo still believes that Yuta can grow to be superior than him, as the blessed statement is during the month time-skip, after Shibuya.

Now, onto actually how he can do so. And it’s pretty simple. He just needs to train his body, reinforcement, and CE control. His CE control is fine according to Kusakabe, he criticized yuji’s. Gojo was pointed out to be especially hard on Yuta due to his high expectations for the boy. And it shouldn’t be hard to train his body. Plus, he’s a teenager. He will grow taller.

Yuta SHOULD be able to reach Gojo’s level physically through reinforcement despite not having the six eyes. Sukuna able to stay relative to Gojo in Megumi’s body through reinforcement and his insane CE efficiency. So, Yuta would just need to train his CE control to the point where he’s able to reinforce himself to that level of physicality. Yuji was able to do so, though that’s likely because of his affinity with black flash. Still, due to Yuta‘s potential, he should be able to do so as well. And we know that getting better at reinforcement is possible.

Doing this, 5mm wouldn’t be much of a problem, as at such a level, he could beat most sorcerer without it. Not to mention that he’ll always be able to just partially manifest rika whenever she’s needed, who presumably grows in power alongside Yuta, just like her vengeful spirit counterpart, as she holds all of the same abilities, but on a lesser scale.

To end this off, no, I’m not saying Yuta became a calamity before his death. There is not nearly enough proof for him having done so at all. I’m simply explaining that yes, Yuta does have the potential to grow superior to Gojo. Whether or not he reached that potential will remain unknown.

I’ll break it down extremely simply. Todo uses Yuta barely succeeding (or outright failing) the surprise attack without his help as a reason why maki wouldn’t be able to do it. This implies that he’s either relative or superior to her, but I‘d go with the former. He says “Even Okkotsu“ as if he holds him in a higher regard In this matter.

Secondly, he points out how Rika’s power was necessary for stopping the curses. If maki was more powerful than Yuta or Rika, who are somewhat relative, she could have handled them just fine in place of them. And I think that in another translation he says “Okkotsu and Rika“, but I’m not too sure.

It's the fact that neither of them let the world destroy who they were.

Both Yuta and Maki experienced rejection from the people who should have loved them most. Yuta grew up isolated and believing he was dangerous to others. Maki grew up in a family that constantly told her she had no worth. Despite that, neither of them became cruel or cynical.

Yuta remained compassionate and wanted to protect others even after everything he went through. Maki, despite her anger toward the Zenin clan, didn't become someone who indiscriminately hated people. She formed close bonds with her friends and fought to protect them.

Despite all the pain, heartbreak, and loss they endured, neither of them became afraid to love. They continued to open their hearts to others. Even after losing their child, Iori, they didn't let grief make them afraid of loving again. The way they chose to spoil Yuka and Tsurugi and gave them the happy childhood they never had shows just how emotionally strong they truly were. What happened to Iori didn't stop them from giving or receiving love.

I know some people argue that "they didn't really have many romantic interactions." But to me, Yuta and Maki had one of the healthiest relationships. The truth is, neither of them knew what a healthy family looked like growing up, yet together they built one that stood the test of time.

The author didn't give them many overtly romantic scenes, but he never forgot to show us glimpses of them together. He let us know that Yuta died after Maki. He showed us that Yuka and Tsurugi grew up to be kind people. He even told us that Yuta and Maki spoiled their grandchildren.

I think those details say far more about their relationship than a few romantic scenes ever could.

Of course, I would have loved to see their love story unfold on the page. But even with just those small glimpses, the author told us everything that truly mattered. Their relationship wasn't defined by grand romantic moments. It was defined by a lifetime of choosing each other, building a family together, and proving that neither of them let their painful pasts decide the kind of people they would become.

Neither Yuta nor Maki let their painful childhoods define the kind of people they became. They both chose hope, connection, and love instead of repeating the cycle of hatred. Whether someone ships them or not, that's a meaningful parallel between their characters.

And i genuinely mean it. They are the biggest prodigies amount gojo’s students, and they sync together so well, as shown in the battle in Sukuna’s domain.

Where Yuta falters in physical abilities, yuji makes up for it. Where yuji falters in external abilities, Yuta is there. When these two worked together, they singlehandedly almost ended the entire raid within a single fight. That’s just insane. I wish we could have seen them fight together/interact more. It would have been awesome.

Just to clarify, I do think that Yuta, Kenjaku, Yorozu, and Kashimo are around the same level of strength. It’s just that Yuta and TE aura hard-counter practically everything.

For a start, Jacob's Ladder (JL) is stated to "nullify all Jujutsu". CE shouldn't be an exception to this. CE reinforcement still counts as Jujutsu. CE manipulation still counts as Jujutsu. CE output still counts as Jujutsu. The control of CE itself is Jujutsu, however the actual CE itself is not. That's why people who can control their CE are called "Jujutsu sorcerers", while people who are just born with normal CE are just normal people. There’s also no reason why CE manipulation wouldn’t count as Jujutsu.

This is backed by the fact that nobody, and I mean nobody has ever been able to use CE manipulation while under the effect of JL. Meguna couldn’t even run away or tank TE aura or JL, and Meguna with CE reinforcement is undoubtedly capable of blitzing Hana, even if he is over 50 metres away from her. The fact that he didn’t even try to is just proof that he couldn’t, especially since he had like 10 whole seconds to react, which is plenty of time to blitz Hana or at least escape (images 2-5). TF Sukuna only got hit with JL in Yuta’s Domain for about 1 second, so we really can’t say much about that. However when Sukuna got hit by Hana’s JL outside of the Domain a few chapters later along with Yuji, neither of them could run up JL. Sukuna has been shown to easily air jump, even when under pressure, which is something he did only a few chapters earlier. But seeing as he opted not to and only decided to jump off of rocks, it should be pretty clear that JL rid Sukuna of the ability to air jump in that moment (image 8). Both him and Yuji had to jump off of rocks with no CE, which is not a far fetched explanation in the slightest (image 8 and 11). Sukuna hasn’t really shown insane physicals, but it’s absolutely wrong to say he doesn’t have insane physicals. Yuji is also definitively a physical monsterhouse, and he’s been shown to jump up to the top of a 4-story building without CE (images 12-13). Jumping up a couple of falling rocks that are 7 metres apart at max is something they could do with literal ease, which they in fact did.

Sukuna Black Flashing Todo just a few pages later isn’t a way to disprove this, as the impact of Sukuna punching Todo was literally shown to be outside the area of Jacob’s Ladder’s range (image 9). He wasn’t in Jacob’s Ladder when he reinforced his punch with CE. In fact, the fact that Gege specifically drew Sukuna’s hand with CE around it as opposed to leaving it as a regular hand (even when reinforcing themselves with CE, Gege usually doesn’t draw that CE) means that Gege specifically wanted to highlight that now that Sukuna is outside of Jacob’s Ladder, he can now reinforce his body with CE. Otherwise, Gege had no reason to highlight that Sukuna was reinforcing his fist with CE (image 10). This is the same with Yuji (image 11).

One of the biggest reasons is that TE aura just one-shots Shikigami and Cursed Spirits. We know for a fact that Shikigami and Cursed Spirits are just manifestations of CE. They are CE shaped into the form of a being, and on multiple occasions, TE aura in fact just one-shots them (images 2-3, images 6-7. It’s not like it does some continuous damage like Anti-Gravity or sudden damage that lasts like Granite Blast or something, it literally just instantly desummoned the Shikigami and killed the Cursed Spirit. Like literally, it just disappeared. If TE aura targeted something other than CE then this wouldn’t be the case- it would likely slowly just chip away at the target, like what it did to Meguna. But the fact that it caused the Shikigami and Cursed Spirit to disappear entirely (and the Shikigami from over 50 metres away at that), makes it safe to say that TE aura just dismantles any formation of CE entirely, include CE reinforcement (CE reinforcement is a formation of CE, like Shikigami and Cursed Spirits).

Also the most obvious argument is the fact that Gege said it himself (image 14). However, the reason I added everything else is because there are multiple ways to interpret this statement (like how TE aura targets CE, and doesn’t dismantle it), however, with the arguments I have provided, there’s really no denying it. Which means Yuta’s TE aura:

• One-shots all Shikigami and Cursed Spirits
• Nullifies all CE reinforcement (which is a direct counter to Jackpot)
• Bars off RCT to anybody within in the targeted area
• Takes away the ability to output CE (which is a direct counter to things like Ryu’s non-CT Granite Blasts)
• Destroys all barriers (which is a direct counter to all closed Domains
• Does heaps of damage to any incarnated sorcerer
• Disables the effect of all Cursed Tools, including things like ISOH, SSK, CoaTM, and more
• Nullifies all CTs (which is a direct counter to CT reliant fighters, like Yuki and Uro. It also one-shots Kenjaku)

On top of that, TE aura is

• Unblockable
• Undodgeable
• Lightspeed
• 50 metre+ range

Reasoning for my diffs:

No diff: I say “no diff” to anybody who gets one-shot by TE aura, no matter their strength. This includes all Shikigami, Cursed Spirits, and Kenjaku. Yes, even though Kenjaku is stronger than Yuta without TE aura, at the end of the day, Kenjaku gets one-shot by TE aura and he can’t do anything about it

Low diff: “Low diff” is what I label characters that get their whole kit taken away due to TE aura (e.g. Hakari, Yuki), but still require Yuta and/or Rika to land the finishing blow, unlike the “No diff” tier in which they all just get one-shot by only TE aura

Mid diff: “Mid diff” is for characters who are super strong physically and aren’t reliant on CE. Obviously, this is mainly just Maki, Toji, and Yuji

High diff: “High diff” is when a character’s abilities are completely unaffected by TE aura’s abilities. This tier only includes Yorozu, because her Bug Armour stays regardless of whether her CT turns off or not, and Bug Armour seemingly doesn’t require CE reinforcement. We already know that Bug Armour Yorozu heavily outstats Yuta, but once Yuta pops his Domain, it’s over for Bug Armour Yorozu. But since TE aura is a non-factor and Bug Armour Yorozu has way better stats, it is a high diff fight for Yuta
