In typical storylines, protagonists usually need to go through a great deal of ti and many events before they gradually grow.
The antagonists slowly increase in strength during this period, going from weak to strong until they face the Demon King at the very end.
But Jujutsu Kaisen is different. This work puts all the antagonists out in the open from the beginning.
The Four Calamities, Kenjaku, Sukuna.
The number of antagonists can be said to be completely insufficient.
Coupled with the various incidents Yuji encountered along the way, his new friend Yoshino Junpei died in front of him.
One classmate's soul collapsed and gave up, while another's fate was unknown.
His teacher was cut in half by the enemy... If this continued, would Yuji have anyone by his side when he died?
But if all of this was reversed, and the protagonist was viewed as Sukuna within Yuji, then everything beca much more reasonable.
A genius boy from a thousand years ago, in the process of his growth, crushed the entire Jujutsu World step by step and was revered as a god.
But even such a powerful person could not resist the erosion of ti.
So he found the evil antagonist Kenjaku, and after only one look, he learned the thod of sealing souls and creating cursed tools.
Then, he did not follow Kenjaku's wishes. He turned himself into a cursed tool.
In this way, Sukuna, who had suppressed an era, was still praised and feared even after his death.
A thousand years later, Sukuna completed his incarnation through a conspiracy.
At this mont, Sukuna was not only suppressed by Yuji but also teased by an annoying white-haired man, losing all face.
Yuji's actions were no less than the difficulties and humiliation protagonists face at the beginning of a broken engagent trope for Sukuna.
Then Sukuna gathered information while plotting his revival plan.
Soon after, Sukuna not only completed his revival but also escaped the body Kenjaku had prepared for him, which might have contained a conspiracy.
Then he suppressed another era.
As for why the protagonist's perspective was locked on Yuji?
Because he had Sukuna inside him, and also because he lived long enough to see the story through.
As for dying surrounded by people?
Jujutsu Sorcerers do not have deaths without regret. Wasn't it perfectly reasonable for Yuji's death to have regrets?
"What's wrong, gumi? You look terrible."
Eichi looked at gumi, who had a strange expression and seed hesitant to speak.
"What about this guy?"
In the end, gumi did not voice all the complaints bubbling up inside him.
"Hmm, let think. Your na is Itadori Yuji, right?"
"Yes."
"Then, Yuji, let Sukuna out for a bit. When I tell you to co back, co back."
"Is that okay? That guy feels very dangerous."
"It's fine. I'm more dangerous. Besides, if you don't prove yourself, gumi will worry."
"...Alright then."
Yuji looked at Eichi in surprise, while gumi next to him could not help covering his face.
You're not a Curse User. Stop saying things that cause misunderstandings!
The next second, dark Cursed Energy patterns reappeared on Yuji's body.
Whoosh!
The mont he took control of the body, Sukuna launched a swift attack toward Eichi.
He knew that in his one-finger state, he had no chance of winning, but even so, Sukuna would not simply surrender.
Looking at Sukuna attacking him, Eichi suddenly rembered sothing Satoru had done.
Eichi took a step forward, grabbed Sukuna's wrist with his left hand, and shadows spread from his body onto Sukuna.
Sukuna swung his left hand, and three slashes aid at Eichi's head, close to his face.
Clang, clang, clang.
The Dismantle that could easily cut Cursed Spirits did not even scratch Eichi's face.
Falling Blossom Emotion, Barrier Improved Version.
After being fooled by Tomie earlier, Eichi had been thinking about how to create an automatically deploying defensive Cursed Technique like Satoru's.
Later, he got inspiration from Falling Blossom Emotion and attached a compressed barrier to a cursed tool. Once he was attacked, Falling Blossom Emotion would automatically trigger a counterattack.
After Mahoraga continuously adapted and provided solutions, Falling Blossom Emotion had been improved into a new version that could intercept and neutralize Cursed Techniques, no longer being ineffective against ntal attacks like the initial version.
Eichi exerted force with his right hand, swung Sukuna in a circle through the air, and then pressed him down toward the ground.
With the cooperation of the shadows, Sukuna was directly pressed onto the ground in an "orz" pose.
Looking at Sukuna's perfect posture, Eichi sat down on him.
The sitting sensation was slightly hard. The muscles were quite firm, and the body fat percentage should be very low. With a little force, his butt could still feel sothing akin to bone.

'I suddenly wonder what it would feel like to sit on Shalltear's body.'
"gumi."
"Yes."
"Perfect. Let teach you a lesson. Watch closely."
Before Eichi could finish speaking, Sukuna, who was under his butt, exploded upward with a grim expression.
"Your Shikigami currently don't have the strength to face a Special Grade alone, nor do Cursed Spirits."
gumi valued his Shikigami greatly, treating them like family, and rarely even used Chira, which combined them.
This also led to gumi already being a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, while his Shikigami still struggled to individually fight Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
"If you want to ensure your Shikigami aren't completely destroyed without using Chira, it's best to use incomplete summons."
After speaking, Eichi ford a hand sign, and a massive black serpent lunged at Sukuna.
For teaching purposes, Eichi began to hold back. The great serpent was quickly destroyed by Sukuna, but a second, then a third incompletely summoned great serpent imdiately bit him.
"Before completing the summon, you can continuously increase incomplete Shikigami of the sa type. But once you speak the na and complete the summon, all but the one Shikigami imbued with consciousness will disappear."
Nue flew out of Eichi's shadow and began to constantly unleash lightning upon Sukuna.
"You bastard."
In Sukuna's eyes, Eichi's actions were nothing but humiliation.
A terrifying storm of slashes instantly appeared, cutting apart all the incompletely summoned great serpents.
"Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine."
"Domain Expansion: Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden."
The mont Abyssal Dark Shadow Garden expanded, a large mass of shadows completely enveloped gumi. The next second, countless slashes landed on the shadow shield protecting him.
"Tsk."
Sukuna was very displeased. He only had one finger's worth of Cursed Energy now, which was completely insufficient, so he could not fully expand Malevolent Shrine and thus could not shatter Eichi's Domain shell.
Moreover, Sukuna's target was not Eichi. He knew that his one-finger self could not defeat him, so his target from the beginning was gumi.
He wanted to kill gumi and make the person who dared to humiliate him pay the price.
He simply had not expected the other party to have also seen through his thoughts.
After expanding his Domain, Eichi continuously pressured Sukuna but always held back the final blow.
A one-finger Sukuna was an ant to both Eichi and Satoru. There was no need to worry.
It was better to complete the teaching mission now.
gumi was currently in the abyss of shadows, feeling the substance of the shadows.
Yuji's body was also engraving Sukuna's Cursed Technique.
Eichi was not idle either. He was enjoying Sukuna's impotent rage up close, occasionally taking out his phone to snap a few pictures.
