Itadori Yuji's Domain Expansion Explained: Blood Manipulation + Mizushi Dual Techniques

Since the serialization of "Jujutsu Kaisen," one of the mysteries fans have most eagerly anticipated is whether the protagonist Yuji Itadori would possess and what kind of "Domain Expansion" he would unleash.

For a long time, Yuji fought relying on his extraordinary physical strength and perseverance, but he always lacked a decisive innate technique. However, as the manga's plot reached its final climax, the potential of this vessel finally erupted completely. In the decisive battle against Sukuna, Yuji finally successfully expanded his own domain. The two key techniques he awakened also laid a solid foundation for this domain.

The Awakened Dual Techniques: Yuji Itadori is No Longer a Protagonist Who "Only Has Brute Force"

In the final battle against Sukuna, the plot revealed that Yuji's body already harbored two powerful techniques, confirming Satoru Gojo's early prophecy—as a vessel, Yuji's body would eventually be inscribed with Sukuna's techniques.

Blood Manipulation

To obtain combat power sufficient to oppose Sukuna, after swallowing the remaining Cursed Wombs (Nos. 4 to 9, totaling six fetuses), Yuji successfully inscribed the Kamo family's hereditary "Blood Manipulation" technique onto himself.

Core Abilities of Blood Manipulation:

• Manipulating his own blood - Executing the "Piercing Blood" attack technique
• Using Choso's "Supernova" technique
• Focusing on practical applications related to stopping bleeding

Although he had limited time to master it, following his elder brother Choso's advice, he also focused on techniques for stopping bleeding.

Mizushi (Shrine)

Even more shocking was that Yuji's body also inherited the technique "Mizushi" from Ryomen Sukuna. After landing a Black Flash and entering an awakened state, this technique, which had been inscribed when he became Sukuna's vessel, was finally activated.

Features of Yuji's Version of Mizushi:

• Using the technique produces scissor-like cutting lines
• Exhibits unique application methods
• Can perform the slashing attacks "Dismantle" and "Cleave"
• Although its power doesn't match the original Sukuna's, it is still one of the most powerful weapons

The Foundation of Domain Expansion: Yuji Itadori's Unique Talent

Before discussing Domain Expansion, one must mention Yuji's most fundamental special ability—perceiving "the shape of the soul".

Key Characteristics of the Soul Shape Ability:

• Directly attacks the opponent's soul
• The key reason he became the natural enemy of the cursed spirit Mahito
• Evolved into being able to strike "the boundary between two souls inhabiting one body"
• Became the core tactic for saving Megumi Fushiguro from Sukuna

The True Form of Yuji Itadori's Domain Expansion

At the end of the Shinjuku Showdown, Yuji finally expanded his own domain.

The Scene Inside the Domain: The interior of this domain presents the appearance of Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture—that is Yuji's hometown, holding his ordinary yet precious memories. In this domain, Yuji cheerfully invites Sukuna, introducing his hometown, attempting to make Sukuna understand the ordinary things valued by mortals through this process of exchange.

The Domain's Sure-Hit Effect: More importantly, the sure-hit effect of this domain is precisely based on his unique talent's soul "Dismantle". After the domain expansion, Yuji, by placing a binding that limits the technique's target, uses "Dismantle" on the boundary line between Sukuna's and Fushiguro's souls, attempting to split their souls apart.

Key Moments of the Decisive Battle:

• With Nobara's long-awaited assistance using "Resonance"
• The domain's sure-hit effect, the soul "Dismantle," severely wounded Sukuna a second time
• Coordinated with the Divergent Fist - Yuji hit Sukuna with "Black Flash" again
• Ultimately succeeded in剥离 Sukuna from Fushiguro's body
