Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Shocked: Is Yuta Okkotsu Secretly Stronger Than Mythical Kashimo?

by

In the grand tradition of action-packed shonen series like Jujutsu Kaisen, fans anticipated substantial contributions from each character. Remarkably, during the climactic arc of the manga, nearly every character stepped up in some way, whether their impact was large or small. Among them, Yuta Okkotsu, the lone special-grade sorcerer, emerged as a pivotal figure. His most noteworthy achievement was taking down Kenjaku while conserving energy for the impending battle against the King of Curses. This remarkable feat was made possible through collaborative efforts with Fumihiko Takaba and Aoi Todo. However, Yuta’s own progress was hindered as he faced an overwhelming number of cursed spirits from Kenjaku’s collection, a consequence of Geto’s Cursed Technique.

Immediately following this event, he jumped into the fray against the most formidable opponents and gave Yuji a helping hand when he was pinned down by the antagonist. He additionally unveiled his Domain Expansion for the first time, carving a path for Maki to strike at Sukuna with her Split Soul Katana. Despite taking critical wounds in the process, Yuta re-entered the battlefield. This time around, he utilized Gojo’s body by mimicking Kenjaku’s ability. He risked his life numerous times, and it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that the sorcerers would have struggled greatly without him. Yet, his impact is frequently disregarded, with some fans even denying that he surpasses Kashimo in strength.

Afterward, he engaged in combat against the toughest opponents and assisted Yuji when the villain had him cornered. He also demonstrated his Domain Expansion for the first time, paving the way for Maki to strike Sukuna with her Split Soul Katana. Although Yuta sustained grievous injuries during this encounter, he still returned to the battlefield. On this occasion, he employed Gojo’s body after mastering Kenjaku’s technique. He put his life on the line multiple times, and it wouldn’t be an overstatement to suggest that their victory would have been highly improbable without him. However, his contributions are frequently disregarded, with some fans even questioning whether he is stronger than Kashimo.

Okay maybe I need to rethink abt who would’ve won here…..

Jujustu Kaisen’s Latest Rumors Resurface the Old Yuta vs. Kashimo Debate

Following the launch of the JJK Exhibition in Osaka, Japan on April 19th, 2025, various sources began circulating translated Q&A sessions by Gege Akutami. However, some of these translations were later found to be incorrect, such as the one posted by @Go_Jover who claimed that Sukuna considered Kashimo his biggest threat after Gojo’s death. It was later revealed that this statement was actually fabricated by a Japanese fan. During those three days, many fans unfortunately believed this misinformation because it originated from a well-known source.

I’m sorry for the misinformation I unintentionally shared earlier. Initially, the news about Kashimo appeared on a Japanese forum, leading some fellow Japanese individuals to tweet about it. However, upon further investigation, it seems that no such statement was made by Gege at the exhibition.

The query posed by this source concerns a pivotal moment in Chapter 234 during the final stages of the battle with the strongest opponent. Noticing Gojo’s peril, Yuta prepares to intervene on the battlefield, yet Kashimo prevents him by asserting that it is his time to engage next. Despite the palpable tension, Kashimo maintained focus, as he intended to confront Sukuna following his fight against Gojo.

Following the spread of the misleading claim, a debate was sparked, questioning whether Kashimo could have defeated Yuta in a real fight. Predictably, this question caused the fanbase to split into two opposing groups. @OP_Powerscaler commented, “Kashimo with MBA (Major Bloodlust Awakened) surpasses Yuta, but without CT (Cursed Technique) Kashimo, in this scenario Yuta would emerge victorious. Kashimo is conserving his CT for Sukuna.

“Kashimo is top 3 in the verse after Sukuna and Gojo,” said @kingofcurses.

At PabloInhuman’s words, Yuta was reassured. “Dude, it’s clear-cut. Kashimo has been, and forever will be, a territory suffering under oppression.

Is Yuta Okkotsu Stronger Than Kashimo in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Among fans of the series “Jujutsu Kaisen”, there’s been ongoing discussion about which character is stronger. Despite Yuta having significantly more power, Kashimo was once the most powerful sorcerer in his time. His Cursed Technique, Mythical Beast: Amber, enables him to transform into a lightning-based entity that resembles a divine or mythological figure. However, this transformation can only be used once in his lifetime because it alters his body into pure cursed energy combined with lightning, ultimately destroying it and leading to his death, regardless of the battle’s outcome. This technique gives him immense power, but at a great cost – his own life.

Moreover, it’s worth noting that he lacks the ability called Domain Expansion, which puts him at a noticeable disadvantage compared to Yuta in terms of power level. In Chapter 234, if they had engaged in combat, Kashimo would likely not have employed his technique as he was saving it for his battle against Sukuna. Without the aid of Mythical Beast: Amber, he would find himself at a significant disadvantage against Yuta, who possesses an immense amount of cursed energy and various techniques, along with a domain. However, despite being weaker than Yuta, the buzz surrounding him during the Culling Game Arc gives credence to considering him among the strongest characters in the series.
