Furthermore, Gege also confirmed that Yuji is still quite young and that his body has aged differently than other wizards.

To match Dabur, nothing less than the absolute strongest is needed on the wizard side, and everyone recognizes that it is Yuji Itadori. This officially confirms it Yuji Itadori took over from Gojo Satoru as the strongest.

Although Yuji is known as the strongest wizard in Japanthere is another issue that needs to be addressed and that is its localization. For some reason, Yuji Itadori is currently missing and by the looks of it, no one has seen him in years. at some point Yuji left the wizard organization and decided to live alone. He has not been seen since. Why Yuji left the warlock and what his goal is at this point remains to be seen. Fortunately, Japan have already started looking for Yuji Itadori as they cannot waste a second.

When it comes down to it The Powers of Yuji Itadorifans know that he is currently the strongest, but at the same time it also needs to be said that he could surpass both Gojo and Sukuna. This is quite possible since he has access to two different cursed techniques in Shrine and Blood Manipulation. In addition, he also has access to RCT, domain boost, and almost every major power source he could possibly need. Yuji has grown tremendously since Shinjuku Showdown and is recognized by the world on a Gojo-like level. Given that Dabura is a Sukuna-level threatit's only a given that Yuji will be just as strong, if not stronger, to balance things out.

A sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen, called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, runs in Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 11 will be released on November 16, 2025. Fans can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
