So basically for everyone The Rika we know in JJK 0 is the vengeful cursed spirit and the Rika we know in JJK S2-S3 you can think of her as a shikigami
Honestly we are just calling the new(?) Rika a shikigami because we still dont have a fucking clue about what she is and Shikigamis are the only other paranormal creatures we known in jujutsu Kaisen. If gege wants he can call Rika the manifestation of yuta soul, name it his Stand and call it a day
Not exactly, shikigami's are made of only shadows (as my understanding of jjk says) and this rika isn't a shadow or shikigami Neither the author neither yuta himself mentioned she is a shikigami

(For context, I wrote this in response to somebody. But I'm copy-pasting it here so that it gets seen more. I put some time into writing it so more people might as well see it.) Okay, there's a lot we can say about this topic. But just to be clear, not much has been fully confirmed about this yet. So, let's go over what we know so far. Yuta was very young at the time of Rika's death. His cursed technique manifested a bit before that point probably. So, upon Rika's death, Yuta cursed Rika (because he couldn't control his cursed energy at the time), causing the manifestation of the vengeful spirit Rika. The reason for this manifestation was probably Yuta accidentally releasing his massive amount of CE, thus attaching it to Rika's soul and turning her into a VS. After the events of the JJK 0 movie, Yuta finally releases the curse he put on Rika, and Rika's soul finally passes on, and leaves behind the shikigami Rika. This Rika can't be fully manifested all the time and does not have the original Rika Orimoto's soul inside. Rika is now basically a storage unit for Yuta's CE and copied CTs. As for your other comment, the vengeful cursed spirit Rika was confirmed to be the strongest special grade cursed spirit around at the time. Which earned her the title, and it remained even after she became a shikigami. Titles in JJK are mostly given to evil beings out of fear. Example: King Of Curses, Sukuna. (King Of "Cursing" AKA Fighting With Jujutsu). Rika's title is more literal compared to Sukuna, since Rika was a VS at the time. So, Yuta doesn't have a title, because he isn't feared by the masses.
It's basically like at first it was Rika the person and she became a vengeful spirit while when she passed on Rika the person passed on but all the energy she possessed stayed with Yuta as a manifestation of said energy i.e Rika the technique or the shikigami that yuta can summon now but much less time since the main source the person is gone.

Quick explanation - The "Rika" curse Yuta uses in battle now is just the way he prefers to manifest his abilities and acts as a vessel. In theory he doesn't necessarily HAVE to use the curse but that's just the way he learned to use his cursed energy.
She could also be a tamed curse spirit based on the pain and loss yuta feels over rika dying, but i think there being lots of possibilities is all we will get , gege just needed a way to bring rika back and might not ever make it explicit
My take is this: most jujutsu characters get their cursed techniques going with something they're familiar with. Yuta, seeing how he could fight alongside cursed Rika, simply created a version of her with his own cursed energy, just like some sorcerers use the cursed energy to clone themselves, or create marionettes.
I’m just confused as to how Yuta can use the current Rika as an extension of his own CT, I can understand that the current Rika is basically like Yuta’s own special grade shikigami but the CT storage thing confuses me
Think of the current rika as a method of controlling (applying) his curse technique. Remember as well Yuki said that you can only have a number of curse techniques written to the brain at once. Since Rika's vessel was originally just Yuta's cursed energy that had bound Rika's soul inside he technically does not need to use her for his technique however without her Yuta would have that limit so he opts for this application instead.
Personally how i see the Rika situation is Human Rika's soul was trapped inside Curse Rika made from Yuta's fear and negative emotions at not having Rika mixed with the binding Then when Rika is set free she just kinda touched up the mold of herself into something that can fully function without her, making it essentially a copy Also we quite fucking literally know its possible for the dead to come back in multiple different ways so even then she could still be watching and want to help him in his hour of need lel
In Japanese they are spelled differently , so my favourite way of differentiating in English is to write it as ‘Rika’ for the friend, and ‘RIKA’ (all caps) for the spirit.
that's what we saw in jjk0 lol what people don't understand, and yeah current Rika is at full power, nothing has changed, once unlocked by binding vow it stays that way.
I have a question does rika have her own ce and if she has how much is it, is it more then even yuta? Because I think having so much ce makes her queen of curses Plus, if the og rika has passed meaning that was the real power of rika which is now gone and she was known the queen of curses but now we just have a vessel which I think don't possess the true power of og rika so we should still say vessel rika the queen?
@@thestarryeyedobserver then why do they say queen of curses to rika when it's all yuta's power, shouldn't be yuta given a title near to that as prince of curses

Manga Spoilers: The New Rika is weaker then JJK 0 Rika, however Yuta can wear his engagement ring in order for New Rika to gain the power that she had in JJK 0. She can only maintain this power for 5 minutes a day though.
She does have a 5 min time limit! …with no defined refresh period …in a medium where time does in fact wait for main characters… But ya know, five “short” minutes! Had to give him enough to compare against HIMtadori
What I’m confused about rika is her appearing in yuta’s consciousness even tho her cursed spirit was destroying that one big cursed spirit and the fact that gojo mentioned that she’s sealed in the ring.. would this mean if hypothetically sukuna destroys the ring then the true power of yuta awakens?
Quick Answer: Rika the soul inhabited the cursed spirit form. When Rika's soul was freed, she left the cursed spirit and its cursed energy pool to Yuta.
I wonder if Rika still give Yuta curse energy like they use to? or Yuta only able to draw the CE from Rika when using the 5min timer? cause i wonder how Yuta gains so much CE in 3 month to become a special grade
Here is a quick question: Kenjaku said at Shibuya that when he changes bodies all the binding vows that he made with past sorcerers using the previous body becomes void So why is Sukuna playing into Kenjaku's schemes when vow made in the past should have been nullified???
1st reason : sukuna may not know that 2nd reason : sukuna is too bored and wants a good fight so he did that tengen thing so that the sorcerers become more serious to kill sukuna as if sukuna wins, humanity will be destroyed.
No, he was talking about vows made with cursed spirits. Now, Kenjaku is dominant over those curses thanks to Geto Suguru's technique, which means he can't suffer the consequences of binding vows he made 1000 years ago with a bunch of cursed spirits.
So let me get this straight the whole story of this character is that the main character cursed his childhood friend then his childhood friend became a yandere monster an attached to him then after he made a vow perspirant moved on and that's a parting gift she left him her monster body so wait my question is the obsessive yandere attitude still there what is the just an obedient vessel
How does yuta copy?like does he just see something and copy or does he need to train the ability or something. Why cant yuta just imbefd sukunas curse technique into his domain or hakaris somethinf like that?
Yuta can shape his curse energy to copy other people techniques, but to do so he needs to manipulate the curse energy, which he is already good at but I don't think his curse manipulation is at that level where he can just copy techniques of the likes of Hakari or Sukuna.
Didn't he quite literally fucking make another vow with her in his Colony arc? Then she yelled about how much she loved him lel Also *HE DID NOT SAY HE WOULD DIE FOR FUCKS SAKE HE ESSENTIALLY SAID THEY WOULD BE LOVERS FOREVER TO MIRROR THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL* And even then, binding vows ain't shit, have we ever ACTUALLY fucking seen a binding vow have real consequences? Kenjaku *literally fucking says* before the Mechamaru fight that if you break a binding vow with yourself you only lose what you gained from the vow but if you break a vow with others the punishment will be unpredictable, they are *literally* just a fucking blatent bald faced plot device lmao 😂 Like how Sukuna aggressively shoving a finger down his throat while the possession is visibly painful *SOMEHOW* didn't count as hurting him purely because Yuji not applying it to himself somehow applies it to Megumi as well? 😅

@@dirrilismixer2556 I think that shikigami are made from shadows is from the Ten Shadows Technique
makes sense, higuruma has a shikigami called judgeman then why not yuta.
Basically, current Rika is just a shell with no soul. The soul passed on.
But she still knows and talk to yuta normally got any idea?

My headcanon is that Rika, like the psycho that she is, got bored of death and decided to hang out with Yuta for a while longer.
It's basically like at first it was Rika the person and she became a vengeful spirit while when she passed on Rika the person passed on but all the energy she possessed stayed with Yuta as a manifestation of said energy i.e Rika the technique or the shikigami that yuta can summon now but much less time since the main source the person is gone.
