What if Yuji never ate Sukuna's finger?

Key points

  • Yuji never eating Sukuna's finger would drastically change events, affecting alliances and threats of curses.
  • If Yuji dies after consuming the finger, Sukuna's fury and alliances could reshape the world of jujutsu.
  • Without a vessel for Sukuna, jujutsu sorcerers would have difficulty containing his power, altering the timeline.



Jujutsu Kaisen is known for its amazing story and the interaction between curses and sorcerers. However, one of the main aspects concerns the events that occurred throughout history, from the Heian era, when Sukuna was revered as the strongest curse, to the modern era, defined by the strength of Gojo. Specific events occur and a critical moment was when Yuji Itadori consumed the finger of none other than Sukuna; that single event altered the entire story and sealed the future of our beloved characters.

Now let's consider the possibility that Yuji didn't choose to do this: what if he actually choked on the cursed object and died instead? Without Yuji becoming a vessel, would Sukuna still be able to achieve the same goals? If that were the case, would he still try to take over Megumi's body, and what were his other plans? There are many factors to consider and there are countless “what if” scenarios. Jujutsu Kaisen that really intrigue fans and it's always fun to explore these scenarios.

The impact of Yuji never eating Sukuna's finger

Yuji eats

If Yuji had never eaten Sukuna's finger, Sukuna's cursed energy would be in dormant mode within the artifact sealed by the talisman. This would make the events at Sugisawa High very different, and Megumi Fushiguro may have received some really harsh treatment in trying to save people from the curses drawn by the finger. In the absence of Sukuna's power within a vessel, the finger would remain a dormant cursed object, potentially attracting stronger curses over time.

More importantly, without Yuji as Sukuna's vessel, the powerful alliances and enmities formed due to Sukuna's reincarnation would not have materialized. To say the least, having Yuji around as a vessel kept Sukuna's power divided so that jujutsu sorcerers at least had some chance of fighting off disasters and other curses.


What if Yuji died after eating Sukuna's finger?

A short OVA rather than a series

Sukuna

If Yuji had died because of Sukuna's finger, then Sukuna may have finally reincarnated in a physical form or attempted to take over Yuji's body completely. If that happened, then the King of Curses would go on a rampage, perhaps even beyond what strong sorcerers could handle well, with the exception of Gojo Satoru. If Sukuna failed to stabilize himself in Yuji's body, his fingers would scatter again, waiting for another possible host.

This scenario could have also completely altered the series' timeline of events. With Sukuna free, Catastrophic Curses like Mahito and Kenjaku would work together to make the most of Sukuna's resurrection to their advantage and thus pose a greater threat to humanity.


Sukuna without Yuji

What if no ship was found for Sukuna?

Jujutsu Kaisen Ryomen Sukuna Fall

If no vessel emerged capable of containing Sukuna's immense cursed energy, his fingers would remain dormant, continuing to attract curses and becoming the object of immense contention between cursed spirits and sorcerers. If so, the jujutsu world might focus on sealing or completely eliminating the fingers. However, completely destroying Sukuna's fingers is virtually impossible due to their indestructible cursed energy.

Be proud. You are strong.


Kenjaku, as Sukuna's co-worker and Yuji's parent, should have intervened to ensure that a vase was made. His role in Yuji's birth proves that he can engineer a host through sorcery. Therefore, without Yuji, Kenjaku would most likely have had no choice but to seek other methods to secure a vessel for Sukuna and could have created an even more deadly host.

Would Megumi have been possessed?

Without Yuji as Sukuna's initial vessel, the question arises as to whether Sukuna would have ultimately targeted Megumi. Sukuna's fixation with Megumi's Ten Shadow Technique was a critical plot point. If another vessel emerged but lacked the potential of Megumi's abilities, Sukuna could still attempt to manipulate events to transfer his power to Megumi. His strategic use of ships reveals his intent to maximize his combat potential.


On the other hand, another ship could completely change Sukuna's plans, leading to an unpredictable dynamic in the world of jujutsu. This would affect not only Sukuna's ultimate goals, but also how he achieves them.

If Yuji had never been Sukuna's conduit, his strength and determination might have taken a different path. Sukuna's presence in Yuji's body sharpened his skills, and his struggle with inner turmoil forced him to grow as a jujutsu sorcerer. Without this bond, Yuji's raw potential may not have been cultivated to its fullest, leaving him less prepared to face Sukuna in the final battle.


However, Yuji's natural physical strength and willpower, combined with his lineage of being the creation of Kenjaku, may have made him a strong sorcerer anyway. Provided with proper training and guidance, Yuji could become strong enough to fight Sukuna, although the outcome would depend on the conditions in which the battle took place. THE Jujutsu Kaisen The world is closely linked to Yuji's bond with Sukuna. These alternate scenarios highlight the profound ripple effects of Yuji's actions and Sukuna's machinations, demonstrating how crucial their relationship is to the series' narrative.
