ANIHK 編輯部The protagonist of "Jujutsu Kaisen," Yuji Itadori, is deeply loved by fans for his superhuman physical abilities and kind-hearted personality. However, one of the biggest mysteries surrounding him is his mysterious family background. As the manga's plot progresses, the shocking truth about Yuji Itadori's mother is finally revealed, which not only answers readers' questions but also adds a dark and complex sense of destiny to the entire story.
This article will delve into Yuji Itadori's mother, "Kaori Itadori," and the mastermind behind her, "Kenjaku."
Yuji Itadori's Mother: The Woman Named "Kaori Itadori"
Early in the story, Yuji Itadori has almost no memory of his parents and was raised by his grandfather. However, in the "Culling Game" arc of the manga, key flashbacks reveal his family background:
- Father: Jin Itadori
- Mother: Kaori Itadori
However, this "mother" is full of doubts. In the flashback scenes, Kaori has a clearly visible stitched scar on her forehead, a feature that perfectly matches the mark left by the thousand-year-old monster "Kenjaku" after taking over someone's body.
Shocking Truth: The Thousand-Year-Old Sorcerer "Kenjaku" Inside the Mother
The truth is chilling—Yuji Itadori's mother "Kaori" had her body taken over long ago by the thousand-year-old sorcerer Kenjaku.
Kenjaku's Technique and Goals
Kenjaku's technique involves swapping brains to seize others' bodies and use them permanently. To achieve his grand plan of creating an "optimized cursed energy world," he has conducted countless experiments.
And giving birth to Yuji Itadori was the most crucial part of his plan. Kenjaku needed a powerful vessel capable of perfectly containing the "King of Curses," Ryomen Sukuna. To this end:
- He deliberately chose and took over Kaori Itadori's body
- He united with Jin Itadori
- Thereby "creating" Yuji Itadori
The Origin of Yuji's Superhuman Physique
This also explains why Yuji was born with physical abilities far surpassing ordinary people:
- Running 50 meters in three seconds
- Punching through a wall without steel reinforcement
Because he was not born naturally but was the product of Kenjaku's meticulous design.
