Yuta Okkotsu/Synopsis

__TOC__
=== History ===
Yuta Okkotsu was born on March 7th 2001. At some point of time during his childhood Yuta met Rika Orimoto and they became friends. Six years ago, in 2011, Yuta was given a promise ring by Rika and the two promised to marry each other when they grow up. Unfortunately, Rika was killed by a street accident, Yuta then accidentally uttered her name which subconsciously cursed her soul to remain with him and turn into a vengeful curse spirit.
Due to Rika haunting him for five years, Yuta becomes a target for bullying. While growing up, Rika would harm the tormentors, causing Yuta to isolate himself in order to protect people from being killed. 
=== Cursed Child Arc ===
On November 2016, Yuta is involved in an incident where four students who were bullying him, were seriously injured, having been crammed in a locker badly (which was caused by Rika who was protecting him). The Tokyo Magic College notices that Yuta is cursed with a special graded curse, and takes him to be executed, to which Yuta agrees with. During his isolation, Yuta tries to kill himself, but Rika stops him from doing so. Satoru Gojo manages to get Yuta enrolled into the college and paused his execution for a while making sure to not happen ever. When Yuta decides to just stay in isolation, Gojo then convinces Yuta to attend the college telling him that he would be alone and in the college he would learn to control and unravel the curse.
As Yuta meets with Panda, Maki Zenin, and Toge Inumaki, which all three notice that Yuta is cursed. The three prepare to attack Yuta, which confuses Yuta. Gojo explains to Yuta what this college is and what they teach. Gojo also warns the three, which Rika appears and defends Yuta. Gojo then explains Yuta's situation to the class. Gojo also introduces the class to Yuta, and that they will be pairing up to today's lesson. Yuta is paired up with Maki, where Yuta has trouble with her.
Gojo brings Yuta and Maki to an elementary school where two children have been taken by spirits. Gojo explains to Yuta how cursed spirits are created, and leaves them to handle the problem after putting up a screen. When three spirits appear, Yuta is amazed as Maki exorcises them all. As they head inside, Yuta is worried about the spirits that are dwelling in the school, while Maki notices that the spirits are not attacking them. Maki wonders if it is because of Yuta, and asks him his grade to which Yuta doesn't know about, then she asked him his student ID. Maki is distracted when she finds out that Yuta is a special-grade sorcerer as Yuta tells Maki that there is a spirit behind her.
Yuta and Maki are then devoured by the spirit, which results in them finding the missing children. Maki suddenly falls to the ground as Yuta wonders what to do. Maki asks him why he came to the college, to which Yuta answers, explaining he "wants the confidence to be able to live." Maki encourages Yuta to exorcise the spirit and says that Jujutsu High is where he can achieve his goals, which causes Yuta to put on the ring(which he wore as a necklace) that Rika gave to him and has Rika attack the spirit (first time summoning her). Once Yuta and the others are freed, Yuta carries them to the exit. As Yuta is about to fall over, Rika's spirit encourages him to continue on, which gives Yuta enough willpower to reach the exit. 
After the incident, Yuta is at a hospital with Gojo where Maki and the children are being treated. Yuta talks with Gojo about how this was the first time that he had summoned Rika, and says that he remembers when he made the promise with Rika. Yuta also says that he believes he was the one that had cursed Rika, and vows to find a way to release Rika from the curse. Afterwards, Yuta is given a katana by Gojo, who explains to Yuta how he can break the curse that is on Rika by imbuing the tool with the energy of the curse, bit by bit. 
At some point, Yuta participated in the Goodwill Event held at Kyoto Jujutsu High with one of his upperclassman, and without the other first year students. He singlehandedly defeated the Kyoto school students, one of them being Aoi Todo.
Three months later, Yuta is training with Maki as Panda, Toge, and Gojo watch. Gojo assigns a mission to Toge which Yuta will accompany him. Yuta was also told by Panda that Toge was the only grade 2 of the first year and was given solo misssions. Gojo then explains what Toge's ability is and that Yuta is to observe Toge without bringing out Rika.
Yuta and Toge are then driven to the Hapina Shopping district by Kiyotaka Ijichi. Once they arrive, Ijichi begins to explain the mission. Yuta and Ijichi notice that Toge has headed off to buy throat medicine. Yuta and Toge then head into the shopping district, and Yuta watches as Toge easily exorcises the spirits using cursed speech ("explode"). As they leave, Yuta and Toge notice that the screen has not been raised. Suddenly, a powerful unidentified spirit appears and attacks them. Toge moves Yuta out of the way and uses his ability to twist the spirit's arm. Toge then suddenly begins to cough, requiring Yuta to save him from the spirit's attack and bring him to safety. However, during this encounter they lose the throat medicine. 
After resting for a bit, Toge decides to go face the spirit. Yuta decides to accompany him, despite Toge's insistence. As Yuta approaches the spirit, the spirit notices Rika's presence and becomes furious. Yuta manages to dodge some of the spirit's attacks and is able to land a blow on the curse, eventually being hit in the forehead. Yuta notices that he can't defeat the spirit and quickly throws the throat medicine, which had been resting on the floor to Toge. Toge takes the medicine and uses his ability("get crushed") to crush the curse. Afterwards, the two celebrate with a high-five. At some point during this altercation, Yuta drops his student identification card, which is picked up by Suguru Geto. 
Afterwards Yuta and Toge head back to the college. Yuta meets with Panda, who explains how Toge is a nice guy and that Toge was worried about Yuta since their situation are similar. Yuta then goes to train with Maki, which he asks her how to pour curse power into his sword but she has no idea due to her having no cursed energy.
Days later, Yuta is with Toge, Panda, and Maki when Geto and his comrades show up. Yuta's friends started taunting Geto's group warning them that Yuta would not let them go if they came near them. Geto quickly comes and hold Yuta's hands in a friendly manner and quickly introduces himself to Yuta and begins to explain his reason for wanting to kill everyone who is not a sorcerer. Yuta then becomes angry with Geto when he starts to insult his friends especially Maki by calling her a disgrace to the Zenin clan and hurting her emotionally. He then throws Geto's arm which was around him away while proclaiming that he would not help those who insult his friends. As the faculty come and try to force Geto out of the college, Geto announces a date and location for Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. Geto then leaves with his comrades, but leaves some cursed spirits for the college to deal with.
On December 24, 2017 Yuta is in the classroom when Maki shows up. The two start to talk, causing Maki to explain her situation and how she plans to head back to the Zenin family and become its head one day. Yuta says how he want to become someone like Maki someday and wants to fully support her. Maki becomes embarrassed by this and scolds him saying it was her task and not his ,and leaves. 
When Geto puts up a screen, Yuta notices it being put up. Later, Yuta comes across Geto and his defeated friends. Yuta gets angry and summons Rika to his side. As Geto launches multiple spirits to attack Yuta, Yuta defends against them all and manages to rescue his friends and heal them, when Rika picks up the unconscious Maki, annoyed with her and thinking that she was attracting Yuta.Yuta immediately scolded her and made her to drop Maki to which Rika complied. Rika then asks Yuta who Geto was to which he replies that he was their enemy, Rika then asks Yuta if he hates him to which Yuta confirms to whic Rika proclaims that she too hates him. As Geto summons more spirits, Yuta uses Rika's powers to easily exorcise all the spirits through the use of megaphone [which Rika summoned using her cursed technique]with the Inumaki's cursed speech seal attached to by saying("die").Yuta manages to get close to Geto using his sword while Geto using the Playful Cloud. During the skirmish Geto talks about non shamans beliefs about being superior beings and mocks to which Yuta angrily calls him a kid. Geto immediately summoned Octopus curse which Yuta exorcises, but Geto manages to overpower Yuta by hitting him with the Playful Cloud in the face causing Rika to pull Yuta away from Geto. 
Yuta decides to continue to fight and get close again, but Geto manages to break Yuta's katana. Yuta simply punches Geto, which forces Geto to distance himself. After a brief chat the two have with each other, Geto decides to use all of his spirits against Yuta and Rika through the Extreme Quantity Cursed Spirit Manipulation "Tornado" technique. Yuta resolves to fully release Rika's power at the cost of his life with use of a Binding Vow technique. Before they start Yuta asks Rika to give him her powers to defeat Geto promising to be with her in the afterlife forever, then he kisses her causing her to grow one eye and shouting Yuta's name and proclaiming her love to him. Upon seeing this Geto becomes infuriated calling Yuta a womanizer to which Yuta calmly replies that it was pure love. They fire a blast strong enough to exorcise all of Geto's spirits and forces Geto to retreat.
Afterward, Yuta awakes to find all of his friends around him having fully healed. They thank Yuta for helping them. Yuta notices Rika and explains what he had done to his friends (including promising Rika to be with her in the afterlife forever) much to their surprise, but is shocked when he notes Rika's curse has been undone. Gojo arrives and congratulates Yuta on undoing Rika's curse. However they asked Gojo who he was (because they didn't see his face without bandages) to which he replies that who he is. Gojo also explains that Yuta is a distant relative of the sorcerer, Michizane Sugawara(which meant that he was distantly related to Gojo), which accounts for the unprecedented strength of the curse he was able to place on Rika at her death. Not knowing who Michizane Sugawara was Yuta asked his friends who replied and told him who he was in a awkward way. Yuta then bids a tearful goodbye to Rika as she fades away. Before fading away Rika thanks Yuta for helping her be with him all these years. 
Later, Yuta is walking with Gojo, who assuages his concerns about being the cause of Geto's attack and hands Yuta back his student ID. Upon recieving his ID, Yuta asked Gojo if he picked it up to which Gojo replies that he got it from his best friend, Yuta then meets up with Maki, Panda, and Toge who called out to Yuta to come with them to which he smiled wearing the engagement ring gifted to him by Rika. 
A year later before Yuji Itadori joined Jujutsu, Yuta went overseas to Africa(at some point of time) to Miguel's Sorcerer Community to train with him and his community and to also look for the Black Rope with Miguel's help with no success.
In September, Yuta meets up with Gojo who tells him to take care of Yuji in case he was gone.
== Synopsis ==
=== Fearsome Womb Arc ===
Megumi Fushiguro mentions to Nobara Kugisaki that Yuta is currently studying overseas when she first meets the second-year students. Meanwhile, while watching over Yuji's dead body, Gojo mentions to Ichiji that he believes Yuta is one of the few students who have the potential to someday surpass him, alongside Yuji Itadori and the third-year student, Kinji Hakari.
=== Shibuya Incident Arc ===
Gojo mentions that they still have Yuta on their side, but the curse user controlling Suguru Geto's body tells Gojo that Yuta's powers (both copied cursed techniques and his boundless cursed energy) came from when he had detained, his loved one, Rika's soul. The imposter then tells Gojo that no matter what, Yuta can't become the "next Satoru Gojo” just as the latter is about to get sealed inside the Prison Realm.Volume 11 : Chapter 90 (p. 18-19)
=== Itadori's Extermination Arc ===
Yuta arrives back to Japan. Moments before a young girl is about to be eaten by a cursed spirit, Yuta stabs the spirit into the ground and asks the young girl if he scared her. He asks the girl if she's with anyone who isn't sure. Yuta then asks if she walked a lot who confirmed she did. Yuta praises the girl just as the cursed spirit from behind suddenly disappears. Yuta asks for Rika to create a splatter of blood and tells the girl not to overdo it as he leads the girl away.
Now at the Jujutsu Headquarters, Yuta tells them they don't have to thank him and asks for them to get to the main event. Yuta asks them if he should enter into a Binding Vow with them and states he doesn't care if Yuji Itadori is Gojo's pupil because he was responsible for cutting off Toge Inumaki's arm in Shibuya. Yuta then says he will kill Yuji Itadori himself. Yuta arrives at where Yuji and Choso is facing off against Naoya Zenin and comments on how Yuji isn't alone. He jumps down and shocks Choso and Yuji with him breaking the concrete. Yuta looks over at Naoya and asks who he is who says that Yuji is bait for someone he wants to meet.
Yuta leaves Naoya to deal with Choso while he chases after Yuji and surpises him with his speed. Yuji jumps over a car as Yuta tries to slash him but fails. Yuta thinks to himself about how he was sure he sliced Yuji and tells Yuji he's like Maki. Yuji grabs a car and throws it at Yuta who throws it back at Yuji. Yuta asks if Yuji is surprised and says he doesn't look like he's the power type before adding on that he's actually on the weak side. The two continue to face off against each other, when Yuji enters a car and snatches a knife from inside just as Yuta tries to slash him but fails to and instead hits the knife.
Yuji continues to slash at Yuta who tells Yuji that he's too focused on his katana and kicks Yuji. Yuta raises his sword and slashes Yuji's knife in half. Yuji is able to break Yuta's katana who then says this was never going to be easy. Just then, Rika manifests and asks what's going on while also holding Yuji in place. Yuta tells Rika that they're just playing before stabbing Yuji and apologizing.
Yuta drags Yuji's limp body to where Choso and Naoya are facing off and knocks Choso unconscious. He then comments on how Naoya looks injured and asks if he should use his reverse cursed technique to heal Naoya.
Elsewhere, Yuta watches over Yuji who suddenly wakes up as Yuta laughs and says what a relief. Yuji is confused by Yuta who explains that he needed to put an act on because Gojo sensei tasked him with watching over Yuji. Yuta also tells Yuji that in order for the jujutsu higherups to approve of Yuta being Yuji's executioner, he had to go into a Binding Vow with them to "kill" him. He apologizes as Yuji asks how he's still alive where Yuta reveals that he used a reverse cursed technique at the same time when his heart stopped. 
Yuta also reveals that the jujutsu higherups may figure out that Yuji isn't dead but for now, they considered Yuji's death sentence as completed. When Yuji asks why Yuta is doing all of this where he reveals that it is because Yuji is important to people who Yuta considers important. Yuta then tells Yuji about how he too once bore a power that he couldn't handle and that Yuji isn't to blame. Yuji says that Yuta doesn't understand and it isn't about his fault just as Megumi Fushiguro walks in. 
Yuji is surprised by Megumi's appearance as he tells him to head back to Tokyo Jujutsu High. Yuji suddenly tells Megumi to stop as if nothing ever happened. He says he killed people and because of himself lots of people died as Megumi angrily states its "our fault". Megumi tells Yuji to not be selfish and give up all alone. He also adds that they're jujutsu sorcerers and they aren't heroes fighting for justice. Yuta listens into Yuji and Megumi's conversation and thinks to himself about how Yuji resists but is unsure of whether or not he deserves to live. Megumi they must prove their worth of existence and don't have the luxury of thinking about themselves. Megumi also adds that they just have to save people. Yuji tells Megumi that as long as he's around, he will suffer. Megumi tells Yuji to start off by saving him and reveals that Noritoshi Kamo has started a culling game for those involved with jujutsu. He also says that Tsumiki Fushiguro is involved in this and he needs Yuji's strength. 
=== Perfect Preparation Arc ===
Yuji talks to Yuta about how Sukuna is plotting something for Megumi. He mentions that Sukuna most likely took over his body in Shibuya because he ate all ten in one go and also includes that he has already eaten fifteen fingers. Yuji then says he doubts Sukuna would be able to take over his body after he's eaten the rest of the fingers, however, if Sukuna is able to Yuji asks for Yuta to kill him as he believes he's able to do that. Yuta says he'll do what he can do if that ever happens. While Megumi is talking about the Prison Realm and Noritoshi Kamo's motives, Yuta comments on how the problem is Tengen's concealing barrier. When Choso suddenly appears, Yuta is surprised to see Choso and wonders if he was listening. 
Afterwards, Yuta along with Yuji, Megumi and Choso all head to Tokyo Jujutsu High where Yuta notices Maki Zenin's bandages and asks her if it's okay for her to move around who replies that it's fine. Yuta listens to Yuki as she tells him that even a reversed cursed technique can't get rid of the burn scars Maki now has and includes the reason behind why Maki is still alive. It is because of her in born toughness that saved her from death. Yuta listens to Choso as he explains about his connections with the Death Painting Wombs being held at the warehouse should be able to provide some guidance. Yuta goes to the elevator with the others where they go to where Master Tengen resides. When Yuji asks about the blood stains and what happened there, Yuki explains how it all started 11 years ago when everything started to get distorted which leaves Yuta confused. The group enters an area where they find is completely empty, Yuta tells them to just head back because Tsumiki doesn't have enough time. Just then Master Tengen appears and asks why they're leaving so soon before greeting them. 
Yuki confronts Tengen and asks why they're not greeting her which Yuta is surprised to see Tengen. Tengen tells them that they were afraid they were aligned with Kenjaku, which Yuki wonders who they are. Tengen reveals that Kenjaku is the sorcerer who was once Noritoshi Kamo but now is inhabiting Suguru Geto's body. Upon having Yuji suddenly ask why Master Tengen looks the way they do, Megumi thinks to himself about how much guts he has for cutting into an important discussion. Tengen reveals that although they are immortal, they are not immune to aging, which surprises Yuji. It was 11 years ago where they failed to merge with the Star Plasma Vessel that their age accelerated and self awareness as an individual diminished. Yuta and Megumi interrupts the conversation asking about Kenjaku's objectives and how to open the Prison Realm. Tengen tells them that they wished they could simply say yes but there is one condition: Yuki Tsukumo, Yuta Okkotsu and or Choso are to remain as his two guards. Yuta is confused and asks why they need guards despite them being immortal. Maki adds on wondering if it's because of the seal.
Yuki objects to this as Tengen tells them that Kenjaku's objective is to force the evolution of all humankind throughout Japan. Megumi tells them that they are aware of this but asks what exactly does Kenjaku intend on doing. Tengen explains how Kenjaku lacks the cursed energy to do so. Someone asks why Kenjaku didn't use their barrier at that time in Japan into sorcerers via Idle Transfiguration. Tengen reveals that the method Kenjaku has chosen is to merge humankind with themselves. Yuji is shocked by this and asks if it's even possible, where Tengen confirmed. Choso asks how can they merge with multiple people even though they're only a single person. Tengen confirms that they are indeed one person but due to them having evolved over the past 11 years, it would not be impossible for them to merge with someone other than a Star Plasma Vessel.
Tengen tells them that a human who merges with themselves transforms into something greater than a sorcerer as a new being that is both there and also not there. Tengen explains that they possess barrier techniques which enable them to maintain their current form and self control even after evolving. They add on that if humankind evolves and even if only one person rages out of control, the world will end. Yuki asks Tengen for the reason, who responds that the impurities of a hundred million people would flood the world, as what happened to Tokyo would happen to the entire world as well. They add that there would be no boundaries between individuals so evil would instantly spread. When Maki asks why they don't refuse to merge, Tengen says that is the problem. Yuji asks Tengen why Kenjaku would do this, who is unsure why because they cannot read human hearts.
Tengen tells the group that now that they've evolved, they are more cursed spirit than human which makes them a target for Cursed Spirit Manipulation, shocking everyone. Tengen tells them that considering Kenjaku's ability as a sorcerer, he might be able to seize them when they encounter each other. They add on that this is the reason why their main body is rejecting everything at the Tombs of the Star Corridor. Yuta then asks if that's the reason why they want guards, which they confirms. Tengen tells them that Kenjaku is the second most powerful barrier user behind themselves and adds that they are unsure when he will undo the seal on the tombs. Yuki asks why Kenjaku decides to do so now, adding on that Kenjaku prevented a merging with a Star Plasma Vessel, wants to consume and control Tengen through Cursed Spirit Manipulation and also was apparently was involved with Sukuna so he has been a sorcerer for over 1,000 years. Tengen says that themselves, the Star Plasma Vessel and the Six Eyes are all connected by faith.
Tengen reveals that Kenjaku lost twice to a sorcerer with the Six Eyes and the second time he took no chances and killed both the Star Plasma Vessel and the Six Eyes less than a month after they were born. On the day of the merging, both the Six Eyes and the Star Plasma Vessel appeared. Therefore, Kenjaku switched to sealing instead of eradicating the Six Eyes and thus began searching for the Prison Realm because two bearers of the Six Eyes cannot appear at the same time. However, the unexpected happened 11 years ago when Toji Zenin intervened. Megumi is confused by this but doesn't say anything. Tengen tells them that he was physically gifted through a Heavenly Restriction and was an anomaly who had zero cursed energy and destroyed their destiny. Then came a boy with Curse Spirit Manipulation. All the pieces subsequently came together for Kenjaku other than the Prison Realm, which fell into his grasp six years ago.
Megumi then asks why the Culling Game is happening, Tengen explains the Culling Game uses the participants and the boundaries' binding barriers in a ritual that conveys to the human beings of Japan to the other side. And with that, Kenjaku will begin the merging with themselves. However, to perform the ritual, Kenjaku has undertaken certain binding vows. Tengen adds on that one binding vow stipulates that Kenjaku can't be the game master, though this doesn't work in the sorcerers' favor since this means even if Kenjaku is killed, the Culling Game will continue until all participants are either dead. Megumi is upset from learning of this. Yuta concludes that they have no other choice but to participate and add a rule that allows Tsumiki and other unwilling participants to safely get out. Megumi adds that they also should free Gojo because he would be able to settle everything on his own. Yuji looks over at Master Tengen and asks for them to tell them how to free Gojo, but Tengen asks them to first decide who should remain as guards.
Much to the surprise of both Yuji and Megumi, Yuki and Choso step up for that position. Choso tells Yuji he will absolutely need either Yuta or Yuki's cooperation for the Culling Game, especially if Kenjaku comes for Tengen. Tengen thanks the group before pulling out an item that is the "back" of the Prison Realm. Megumi is shocked to hear that there is a "back" for the Prison Realm. Tengen explains that before Kenjaku found the Prison Realm, it was outside of their barrier, possibly being overseas. They reveal that by sealing the rear gate, they were hiding the existence of the "front" but it was useless. Yuji asks if it's like a back gate which Tengen confirms it is. Tengen tells them that Gojo is sealed inside of the rear gate as well, but the authority of opening the gate rests with Kenjaku as he is the bearer point of the "front". They add on that to break it open, they will need the Inverted Spear of Heaven that nullifies cursed techniques or the Black Rope that disrupts and cancels cursed techniques effects.
Yuji and Megumi are shocked to learn that Gojo either sealed and or destroyed both cursed tools years ago, and Yuta tells them that he along with Miguel searched for any remaining Black Rope in Africa but to no avail. Yuki asks Tengen if there's another way, who confirms there is. Tengen reveals that among the players participating in the Culling Game, there is a sorcerer from 1,000 years ago who calls herself an angel and that her cursed technique can extinguish any cursed technique.
Yuta listens to Tengen as they tell the group that Hana Kurusu is in the colony in the east side of Tokyo. Tengen proceeds to explain that there are ten colonies around Japan that are all connected by a barrier that will send humans to the other side. Yuki asks if the reason Hokkaido isn't included is because of the jujutsu society's barriers. Tengen confirms this and adds on that Hokkaido has been established as vast sacred land. Tengen tells them that although conveyance to the other side may sound like an exaggeration, a curse fell on everyone in Japan as preparation for the merger. Megumi asks Tengen how long the ritual will take, who says it will take at least 2 months.
Megumi asks Tengen if those who refuse to participate in the Culling Game will die, who confirms it. Megumi concludes that Tsumiki has roughly 10 days and 15 hours until she declares her participation in the Culling Game after hearing Maki say that it is currently 9 a.m. on November 9th and Yuta says that the sorcerer players awakened at about midnight on October 31st. Maki says that Shoko was correct and adds on that people such as herself with no cursed technique won't be at risk.
Yuji wonders about the civilians already inside of the barrier which Tengen tells him that they will have one chance to exit, much to Yuji's surprise. Yuta comments on how generous that is of the game. Tengen tells them that there isn't a rule about entering nor exiting the barrier and adds on that they believe that it's to stimulate the game. They also add on that in order to confine the players, the premise of them entering of their own free will is important. Megumi asks about the "game master", and Tengen tells them that each player will be given a shikigami called a "Kogane". They add on that a Kogane is less game master than an interface, which confuses Yuji and says that they may think of the game master as the Culling Game program.
Yuji says that they won't be able to subtract rules that are already present, and Megumi tells him that there might be ways to counteract the existing rules. Choso asks if the seventh rule is fair, which Yuta confirms it is while Maki comments on how it gives the game master a lot of leeway. Tengen tells them that the players are subjected to strict rules and sorcery wise Kenjaku is due to no further bias. Yuji is disappointed that he will be forced to kill more people, though Megumi tells him that he has a few ideas to prevent him from killing. Maki tells them that's all the information they have and each will have a different role to play with Yuki Tsukumo and Choso remaining as Master Tengen's guards.
Maki says that she will head back to the Zenin family's warehouse and search for cursed tools before revealing that soon after Gojo as sealed, both the Kamo and Zenin family went to Tokyo Jujutsu High's cursed warehouse and emptied it of weapons. She adds on that Megumi is the current Zenin family head much to Yuji's surprise, and because Megumi is the current family head, it's possible to search the Zenin family's warehouse at length. She turns to Master Tengen and asks about Juzo Kumiya's warehouse.
Maki tells them that she will go look for Panda and explain the game to him afterwards. She then turns to Yuta and asks what he will do. Yuta says that he will enter a colony immediately before Tsumiki Fushiguro is needed to enter the game in order to gain more information. He says that he will be avoid nearby colonies so they won't end up killing each other and also just in case something happens to Tsumiki. Yuta adds that the barriers may block phone reception so they will be out of touch for a while. Just then, both Yuta and Yuji remember Yuji's previous request for Yuta to kill him if Sukuna ever takes over his body. Megumi assures Yuji that it won't happen and says that if it ever did happen and he dies, Yuji should have Yuta kill him. Yuji is angry by this as the point was to not let that happen. Megumi turns to Maki who tells them to go to Kinji Hakari as planned. Yuji is confused as to who that is.
Yuta reveals that Kinji is a suspended third-year as Maki tells them that because they're shorthanded they will need to get as much people involved as possible. Yuji asks if Kinji is tough, with Yuta replying that while he's moody, Kenji is stronger than him when he is worked up, which Maki comments is not true. Yuta along with Maki, Yuji and Megumi then head out.
=== Culling Game Arc ===
During the culling games Yuta swiftly and easily kills Dhruv Lakdawalla Yuta then engages with Kurourushi in combat will strike now that the s. Yuta attempts to exorcise Kurourushi without revealing that he is capable of using Reverse Cursed Technique, though culling game observers, Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro manages to see through his tricks and notices Yuta's incredible amounts of cursed energy.
Takako Uro manages to ambush Yuta. and uses an attack blasts Yuta through the ground before coming to a stop. She quickly follows up with a punch that is stretched further by her cursed technique, and evades Yuta's counter by bending his arm when he attempts to punch her. She then pushes him away and begins disclosing her technique's ability to manipulate space as a surface. While waiting for Yuta to attack her, Yuta asks Uro about her reason for killing others in the Culling Game. Uro then starts annoyed by Yuta but nonetheless explains that she had regrets in her past life and therefore needs to gain as many as points as possible in preparation for Kenjaku's plan. However, Yuta is unable to sympathize with Uro's selfishness, angering the ancient sorcerer who accuses him of belonging to the Fujiwara Clan. Ryu then open's fire with Granite Blast, alerting the other two players to his location and forcing Yuta to consider Ryu his top priority. Yuta charges at him and turns the fight into a brawl. Yuta summons Rika to even the odds. While Yuta fights Uro, Rika fights Ryu, deflecting his attacks and launching him over the rooftops. When Yuta and Uro arrive in the same area as Ryu, they immediately unleash their own Domain Expansion in response to his.
The shocking intervention of a reborn Kurourushi causes the collapse of all three domain barriers. This leaves Uro and Yuta temporarily unable to use their techniques to their fullest capacity Yuta eliminates the cursed spirit before re-approaching Ryu. The remaining combatants then initiate an exchange of energy blasts. While Yuta initially loses the advantage during their beam clash, he quickly turns the tide by having Rika provide covering fire while he moves in closer. When Ryu fires a Granite Blast at close range, Yuta redirects it into the air using Uro's technique, which he copied. As soon as Rika reaches its time limit and vanishes, the remaining two combatants engage in a brutal close-quarters battle. Ryu is ultimately defeated after taking a full blow from his previously deflected Granite Blast.
Satisfied for the first time in his life, Ryu has no issue losing to Yuta but chastises him for sparing him and Uro. Ryu immediately agrees to transfer his points to Yuta using the newly established tenth rule. Before Yuta leaves, Ryu doubts his mercy, wondering if the special grade would have killed them both if this new ruling didn't allow him to build points more quickly by sparing others, with Yuta semi confirming this telling him to be thankful for his friends' rule.
=== Shinjuku Showdown Arc ===
Yuta regroups with his friends and fellow sorcerers as they begin to enact the plan to unseal Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm which ends in success and an agreement being made between Gojo and Sukuna to fight on December 24th, giving each a month to prepare. During the month of training Yuta met with his fellow sorcerers where they discussed what to do in the situation that Gojo loses. Choso asked Yuta on how he replenished his blood after using reverse cursed technique, where he admitted he didnt know as he always did it on instinct, the sorcerers then reached a consensus to use replacement training to master reverse cursed technique and simple domain. Later on Yuta walks with Inumaki in Jujutsu headquarters, discussing a useful item he was given. On the day of the fight Yuta and the other students then see Gojo off while he begins his preparations to fight Sukuna. However despite an unbelievable effort, Gojo ultimately meets his end to the distress of Yuta and the other onlookers. Yuta then decides to act on the plan to kill Kenjaku while he is distracted by Fumihiko Takaba, successfully managing to decapitate the sorcerer. As Kenjaku dies his Cursed Spirit Manipulation technique begins to come undone unleashing various curse spirits that are quickly dispatched by Rika. Yuta then stabs Kenjaku in the head but not before the sorcerer manages to enact his backup plan of starting humanity's merger with Tengen. Afterwards Yuta and Rika provide backup for Yuji in the fight with Sukuna, forcing him into Yuta's domain expansion, Authentic Mutual Love with a plan to defeat him. Yuta, Rika and Yuji continue piling on pressure to the boundary of Sukuna and Megumi's soul in order to separate the two. Yuta hits Sukuna with Thin Ice Breaker, while Sukuna retaliates with a Cleave, throwing the two away while cutting off Rika's fingers. Sukuna questions Yuta and Yuji on what they did the past month to have their strength and cursed energy improve to which Yuta replies that they cheated, thinking to himself that if were not for Gojo's effort, Sukuna would've wiped both him and Yuji out. 
Yuta then fulfills the conditions for Ink and predicts Sukuna's next move to counter it. He then reveals he copied Sukuna's technique "Cleave" and uses it on the King of Curses, much to his surprise. Yuta reveals to him that he ate the last of his 20 cursed fingers and Sukuna was then struck repeatedly by Yuji. Sukuna then retaliated with slashes to Yuji's chest, making Yuji spit up blood in his face. Yuta, Rika, and Yuji then apply more pressure causing Sukuna to begin dropping his Hollow Wicker Basket in an attempt to use the world cutting slash. Yuta however realized and thought to himself on knowing what he was about to do, while Rika and Yuji held his arms, Yuta went to tear out his second tongue having planned for this outcome. Yuta was then hit with slashes but they were significantly weakened, allowing him to push forwardl. Yuji's spat up blood then erupts onto Sukuna's face and his fourth arm was cut, allowing the domain to activate Jacob's Ladder. Yuji was then able to access the barrier of Megumi and Sukuna's soul only to learn Megumi had lost his will to leave. Sukuna then took this chance to use the world cutting slash, slicing straight through Yuta and Rika while also severely injuring Yuji. However, while Sukuna was distracted with his seeming victory, Maki Zenin entered the domain to stab through him. Yuta's body was then carried away by a tearful Rika and transported back to headquarters by Ui Ui.
