Yuji Itadori, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, is a high school student who transforms into a sorcerer after swallowing a cursed object, the finger of Ryomen Sukuna. Known for his unwavering resolve, Yuji’s skills and combat abilities position him well against challengers from other shonen anime.
1. Yasutora “Chad” Sado (Bleach)
Yuji is quicker and more skilled in combat than Chad, who relies on direct strikes. Chad’s lack of agility makes him an easy target for Yuji’s refined fighting techniques.
2. Tenya Iida (My Hero Academia)
Although Iida is fast, Yuji’s superior speed and physical prowess, bolstered by curse energy, give him the edge in this matchup.
3. Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
Edward’s alchemy and martial arts skills fall short against Yuji’s raw power and durability. Yuji’s cursed punches can break through Edward’s defenses.
4. Panther Lily (Fairy Tail)
Despite wielding a powerful sword, Panther Lily’s reliance on minimal magic and strength makes him less agile than Yuji, who can overpower him with curse-infused strikes.
5. Don Krieg (One Piece)
Yuji can outmatch Don Krieg’s spiked armor with his fierce punches, similar to how Luffy defeated him. Krieg’s defenses are ineffective against Yuji’s curse energy.
6. General Blue (Dragon Ball)
While General Blue possesses martial arts skills and a paralyzing gaze, he would struggle against Yuji’s speed and strength, likely being defeated before using his abilities.
7. Gajeel Redfox (Fairy Tail)
Gajeel’s iron magic and brute strength are no match for Yuji’s agility and curse energy, allowing Yuji to outmaneuver and overpower him.
8. Kaminari Denki (My Hero Academia)
Kaminari’s electric powers would be ineffective against Yuji’s combat skills, as Yuji’s speed and strategy would allow him to defeat Kaminari before he could unleash his full power.
9. Kenshin Himura (Rurouni Kenshin)
Despite Kenshin’s mastery of swordsmanship, Yuji’s enhanced physical capabilities would allow him to evade and counter Kenshin’s attacks effectively.
10. Yamcha (Dragon Ball)
Once a formidable fighter, Yamcha’s skills have been overshadowed by newer characters. Yuji’s modern combat techniques and curse energy would outclass Yamcha in a fight.
Conclusion
Yuji Itadori’s blend of speed, strength, and curse energy positions him as a formidable opponent in cross-universe battles. While he may not be able to defeat every character, he has the potential to triumph over several notable shonen characters.
