he's most likely still special grade. For one, even if he can only copy at max 2 cursed techniques, most sorcerers, including special grades only have 1 ct. So he could just wait till he gets an especially useful ct like sky manipulation or star rage etc etc. His cursed energy re-enforcement etc is all leagues above a grade 1. Just hand to hand alone he'd win against any grade 1. So he has cursed energy manipulation at special grade, can basically hand pick 1 or 2 strong cursed techniques for himself, has a domain expansion, has one of the best rct in the series and has the 2nd largest pool of cursed energy in the series. If he isn't a special grade at that point then you must be setting gojo as the special grade standard

Without Rika (storage) he can never have that many cursed techniques. After he copies a new one or two, he will lose old ones he has copied. The reason he is able to use that many techniques is cos of Rika. So no, even a fully realized Yuta will at most have 2-3 techniques at a time.
@@football360_slikactually there is a way to get around not having rika and getting as many cursed techniques as needed. All he has to do is copy geto’s cursed spirit manipulation and capture some special grade cursed spirits. He can then make those cursed spirits into his storage and it will be back to a similar situation as when he has rika. They will not be as powerful as rika but can still be summoned to fight.
Random theory- Copy as a CT requires Yuta to consume the target's DNA in order to copy their technique. This would've been less weird in the Heian era where you had people like Sukuna literally cannibalising other sorcerers, but that's not really "okay" anymore in the modern day. Linking himself to Rika and having her eat the target (or a part of their body) instead may just be Yuta's loophole to be able to use Copy without having to bite people and eat their skin like a crazy Floridian bath salt zombie.
The thing that always bugs me when this theory is brought up is that Yuta copied Cursed Speech from Inumaki in JJK 0. Did he chow down on a body part or drink some blood that belonged to Inu just before fighting Geto?
Maybe he can copy in two ways: Yuta needs to be directly exposed to the CT's attack he wants to copy and if he can't, he can eat the DNA of person that has targeted CT?
He'll still be special grade. Even before the timeskip, Okkotsu was able to overpower Kurourushi and fight Uro and Ishigori at the same time. Then after, he's able to fight Heian Era Sukuna and speedblitz Kenjaku.
@@krillin1081He could just consume things on his own. Rika is probably only there to copy because Yuta is human and too morally good to go around eating bits of other people.
Yuta, who creeped the shit out of Naoya, Choso and Yuji? The same Yuta with RCT and capable of healing others, a feat that not even Gojo can accomplish. The same Yuta who's been stated to be a prodigy second only to Gojo. You think he's 1st grade???? 😂 Bro, Yuta is still Special grade without Rika.
He would still have Domain expansion, curse amplification and even though his copy cat would be nerfed he still would be special grade considering he would still be able to beat multiple special grade curses by himself
"Rika" IS Yuta's technique essentially, since he made it in the first place. I always though his Mimicry is just a facet or extension of that base technique. So it's weird whenever anyone says how strong is he without Rika, since that would be akin to asking how strong would Gojo be without Limitless.
No, Gojo actually relies on Limitless and its a cursed technique that only works correctly cuz he has Six Eyes. In Yutas case, Rika is literally spawned feom his own cursed energy so its actually his own power. Essentially, Yuta without Rika = Yuta + Rika
@@bennogb5069 That's not correct. The will of Rika to stay with Yuta and Yuta cursing her is what resulted in the vengeful spirit of Rika Orimoto to be born. She simply didn't get this strong from only Yuta cursing her. Rika, despite the two versions is not being summoned by Yuta's CE, Rika and Yuta have different and their own CE pools. But Rika is directly connected to Copy and Copy is directly connected to Rika.
@@Endmaten1 yeah but they literally talk sbout how a cursed spirit from an ordinary person, with no lineage of sorcerers shouldnt result in a curse so powerful. The explanation they give is that Yuta CE is the reason she is so powerful. Its because he is the one from a strong line of sorcerers and randomly inherited the blood/potential of Michizane. They literally state this in JJK:0
@@bennogb5069 As I already explained, Yuta and Rika basically had an impact on how strong the vengeful spirit is, it's based on love after all. Again, Yuta's CE is not the only factor, his CE wasn't even boundless there. Yuta and Rika created this desire to be together which lead to the vengeful cursed spirit Rika Orimoto to manifest. Here some statements from Gege inside the fanbook: "Special grade vengeful spirits that possess boundless cursed energy and can’t be exorcized. A curse that is fixated on a specific individual and manifests on the condition of harming others is called a “vengeful spirit”. Orimoto Rika, who was once bound to Okkotsu Yuta, was classified as a "special grade vengeful spirit" due to her boundless cursed energy." "It’s fundamentally impossible to deliberately keep souls of the deceased from passing on but this caused a binding to occur, like a glitch in the system - because Okkotsu was entirely unconscious about doing it (he truly wants her to pass on peacefully) and due to Rika’s strong desire to be with Okkotsu." So yes, Yuta did have an impact but he wasn't responsible for all of it.

I’d disagree Yuta created rika without even trying and is actually stronger and more durable than her (when considering the fight with ryu) I think if he didn’t have her he would probably have a awakening of some sort or just get that power back without the 5 min timer
He’s still special grade. Just not bottom less of cursed energy. Being able to copy without rika at least a few cursed techniques would be insane depending on which ones he keeps. Imagine him with the 6 eyes and infinity or 3 lesser but still powerful techniques like urame ice technique, jogo fire/lava, and jacobs ladder. And still be able to use RCT on himself and others. And a domain as well.
Yuta's situation is similar to Kenpachi where their powers are too much for their body to handle and that's why they're always in nerfed state. Rika in JJK0 represented Yuta's power only but in a cursed state like how Naoya became so powerful after becoming a cursed spirit. Or how Yuki uses a shikigami to channel her CT and made it into a cursed tool sames goes for Nanami & his blunt blade which ino owns now. Even Miwa's sword was a normal blade but became a cursed tool due to regular use. Gojo also told Yuta in JJKO to channelise Rika power through Katana. Remember Junpei's CT was poison but he used Shikigami named Moondreg to channel it because it's more effective that way. Only thing Rika Orimito did is to give current Rika a consciousness which wouldn't had been possible for Yuta to do alone otherwise everything same.
I think he'd still be special grade because he could store 1-2 really good techniques that are strong enough to make special grade possible, and have his fundamentals carry him from there. You can think of yuta's copy similar to kenjaku in this regard. His reserves and RTC use can make basically any CT great, as well as his domain just being what it is. But I don't see why he couldn't get something like yuji or kenjaku's techniques and just straight up hold onto them permanently while shuffling another slot.
Yuta will be considered special grade because of 2 things *1* he beat a special grade *2* his domain expansion allows him too use unlimited cursed techniques
That's not how you become a special grade though. There are Grade 1s who can beat special grades too. Special grade doesn't mean "super-duper strong and unbeatable", it means "capable of taking over a nation", which is why Yaga was being considered for special grade because his CT would let him create an army of autonomous puppets.
Rika is a cheat code. Yuta and Rika are special grade, together! Without her, I'm not so sure. A lot of the other sorcerers will definitely be above him. Namely, Hakaria and Kashimo.
I think your forgetting that the whole reason Rika is special is because of Yuta himself since he was the one who crused Rika to be curse and Rika before was just a ordinary girl with no special background to jujutsu whatsoever while Yuta and Gojo share the same ancestor. All of Rika's crused energy actually belongs to Yuta since he crused her meaning if Yuta didn’t curse Rika then he would've had something else like a shikigami rather then Rika to store his copied CT's and would've had access to his whole crused energy but we don't know for sure.
He is special grade even without Rika. It just means that he'd have to be like Kenjaku and only store the most powerful techniques that he gets the chance to copy. Example, Jacobs ladder, dismantle and cleave and sky manipulation. Add his CE to that and he's still an anomaly
Yuta without rika can still get around the CT limit. He just has to copy geto’s cursed spirit manipulation, capture special grade cursed spirits and make them his storage unit. He can also summon them to fight alongside him like with rika. It’s more of how he uses copied CT to get around the rule. That is why his copy ability is extremely versatile.
3:21 do you think that’s because of having so much CE (innately or because of Rika) that he could essentially “brute force” the energy output required to perform RCT?
Just want to remind people yo go back read chapter 178. Because a lot of people misinformed. The five minute connection begins when he puts on the ring. It does not begin when Rika is fully manifested. Its a cause and effect situation. The effect of beginning the connection is what allows him to choose whether or not rika comes out fully manifested.
Highest quality of Grade 1 Sorcerer, but if he cannot consume a multitude of techniques via Copy, he would fall short of the abnormalities called Special Grades.
Maybe his cursed technique only activated after cursing Rika? If so, I will speculate that his CT is to curse a person, bound his soul to him, and use it to store cursed energy (maybe even to produce) and to store copied CTs that he was able to copy only after cursing a person.
Don't forget Yuta has domain expansion! We have not seen any sorcerer grade 1 or below that can use a complete domain. Nanami could not use it, Megumi's was incomplete. Having one is alone a Special grade feat. Although I do not know how not having Rika would affect his DE.
I think after this recent chapters there is more chances of using that open, and in my opinion I think there are multiple techniques stored in his open. And I also wants to see his other cursed tool Hiten.
Great points, but what can we glean from the fact that Yuta is the one that “created” Rika? I guess you could liken it to Inumaki cursing people before learned To properly use his cursed speech But this seems to be on a whole other level
ehh. if copy is his innate technique, then most likely he could store the techniques in his brain instead of Rika. this would mean that he would be more akin to kenjaku, as he would not need to rely on the 5 mins of manifesting Rika to have his techniques, he would just have the 3 or 4 techniques constantly active around the clock. I personally believe that would bring him up to special grade.
i thought you were going to dive a bit into Yuta´s bloodline but since we dont got much info it´d be just speculation anyway but at least we know that he is related to a powerful clan
I’d say he would be significantly stronger he’d get back his curse energy and most likely not need rika for his condition. Also he could probably make a smaller and weaker rika to hold his cursed technique and maybe tools.
What I don't like about Yuta's CT is its name, because it's just "Copy", it's way too literal compared to other techniques in the verse. Sukuna's techniques are called "Cleave and Dismantle", not just "Cut". I can't think of a better name either, though.
@@nevermind5457 what does that have to do with either of them, Yuta only similar to Yuji cause they both got death sentences because of the king and queen of curses, thats how they got introduced to jujutsu in the first place So technically speaking they wouldnt even be jujutsu sorcerers idk why you referring to kusakabe tho
Well when yuta draws Rika back into his own cursed energy it skyrockets so he himself technically gets stronger he just loses most of his strategy and advantages
I think yuta can use copy without rika but can’t just use the techniques over again I think he could copy a technqiue but use it once and can only use it again when rikas summoned because rika stores the technique she doesn’t seem to do anything other than that against uro even if rika was summoned yuta alone used thin ice breaker rika didn’t really help
But he created rika…. Right??? Like he cursed her didn’t he? Couldn’t he do that to someone or something else and be just as powerful or even more? Maybe I’m misunderstanding how Rika came to be.
@@gaelurquiz5755 wasn't it said that she was so powerful because he had so much CE and was a descendant of the same person Gojo was related to? It's pretty clear Yuta is special because of the amount of CE that was even needed to make "Rika" in the first place.
@@gaelurquiz5755 Yuta single-handedly created a special grade curse spirit, it absolutely has to count how strong he is. You don't just create the Queen of Curses by being a regular child.
@@gaelurquiz5755 that is the worst counter argument I've heard in a while. CT are inherent to someone, Yuta's CT and massive CE allowed him to single-handedly manifest a special grade cursed spirit as a child novice, accidentally, and that spirit had so much power it was quoted by Jujutsu Society as the Queen of Curses and you say that doesn't matter because of arbitrary reasons. Everything "Rika" has CAME FROM Yuta, that's why she's tied to him and why even if she's dispelled she can just remanifest herself to Yuta. The original Rika Orimoto was just a regular person, who was cursed by Yuta, it was Yuta's own CE and CT that made "Rika" so strong in the first place. The creator and user of a CT is intrinsically as strong the CT itself. Gojo is strong because of Limitless and because he is also inherently strong with the Six Eyes. You can't disregard something so intrinsic to a character because you don't understand it. That would be like disregarding Yuji's strength and ability just because we don't fully know how Death Womb Paintings work.
SPOILERS FOR JJK MANGA IN THIS COMMENT, AVOID IF NEEDED! Without Rika Yuta still has the following: Yuta reacquired the title of special grade three months after the events of JJK 0, has CE reserves larger than Gojo, is tough enough to withstand both Ishigori's punches and energy blasts, a domain expansion, landed a black flash, RCT, killed a special grade curse, briefly killed post Shibuya Yuji, 2nd only to Gojo in "unique abilities", and can hold 4 CT without Rika reducing the strain. He’s at minimum a Grade 1 Sorcerer considering his contention with a post shibuya Yuji who is viewed as grade 1 level by Mei Mei. Added on that if he copes Star Rage or Curse Spirit Manipulation he’s hitting special grade. That’s not even counting that he now has cleave and this had that potential. Overall he's at minimum a Grade 1 without his CT, with it he can still reobtain his special grade title via the copy of Dismantle and Cleave or by copying another Special Grade Sorcerer's technique.
@@Jo-np4gbincorrect. Yuta was dominating yuji so hard that he was able to sleep him in the middle of choso vs naoya, go there, and knock out choso (someone equal to yuji at the time) with a couple hits. He didn’t even take damage. He’s still special grade
@@Jo-np4gb I'd say I disagree with that one. Personally I think Yuta took Yuji semi-seriously, as he did believe that his initial rush would've killed Yuji and was impressed by Yuji's ability to break his katana along with his speed. That said Yuta himself was not at his best, as you don't see him use his CT along with him lacking the need to defend something he care's for, which Sukuna views as Yuta's best motivation to go all out.
hell naw, we know yuji was holding back but bro yuta barely used any copies, like he could legit tell yuji to off himself there and he auto wins and we know yuta has way more cursed energy than yuji does so it would likely work since he literally told sukuna to not move and it worked against SUKUNA@@Jo-np4gb
Yes to all of what you said, BUT Special Grade means taking over a country. Geto was a S grade without RCT just because his CT was dangerous for a country, doesn’t mean that Yuta cannot take him 1v1 without Rika
he's most likely still special grade. For one, even if he can only copy at max 2 cursed techniques, most sorcerers, including special grades only have 1 ct. So he could just wait till he gets an especially useful ct like sky manipulation or star rage etc etc. His cursed energy re-enforcement etc is all leagues above a grade 1. Just hand to hand alone he'd win against any grade 1. So he has cursed energy manipulation at special grade, can basically hand pick 1 or 2 strong cursed techniques for himself, has a domain expansion, has one of the best rct in the series and has the 2nd largest pool of cursed energy in the series. If he isn't a special grade at that point then you must be setting gojo as the special grade standard

All he has to do is copy geto’s cursed spirit manipulation and capture some special grade cursed spirits. He can then make those cursed spirits into his storage and it will be back to a similar situation as when he has rika. They will not be as powerful as rika but can still be summoned to fight.
Yuta is a special grade even without rika remember he is the one that created rika in the first place
Random theory-
Copy as a CT requires Yuta to consume the target's DNA in order to copy their technique. This would've been less weird in the Heian era where you had people like Sukuna literally cannibalising other sorcerers, but that's not really "okay" anymore in the modern day. Linking himself to Rika and having her eat the target (or a part of their body) instead may just be Yuta's loophole to be able to use Copy without having to bite people and eat their skin like a crazy Floridian bath salt zombie.
The thing that always bugs me when this theory is brought up is that Yuta copied Cursed Speech from Inumaki in JJK 0. Did he chow down on a body part or drink some blood that belonged to Inu just before fighting Geto?
Maybe he can copy in two ways: Yuta needs to be directly exposed to the CT's attack he wants to copy and if he can't, he can eat the DNA of person that has targeted CT?
Maybe one of the sorcerers killed was an Inumaki? @@sobrii9492
He'll still be special grade. Even before the timeskip, Okkotsu was able to overpower Kurourushi and fight Uro and Ishigori at the same time. Then after, he's able to fight Heian Era Sukuna and speedblitz Kenjaku.
Imagine a Yuta who was able to train for 4 years or more dude be a lot more of a monster
Love the explanations man. I have no question to ask 👍.
Marky thank you so much man, appreciate it!
that's like how strong is Gojo without Six Eyes.
It’s possible he could stole store more cursed techniques, just that he would only be able to use and swap them out during his domain expansion.
You forgot the part where he wouldn’t even be able to use his copy ct without Rika active.
@@krillin1081He could just consume things on his own. Rika is probably only there to copy because Yuta is human and too morally good to go around eating bits of other people.
Cursed Techniques are stored in the brain, and he can't store them by Copying them if doesn't have the mental capacity to do so.
Yuta, who creeped the shit out of Naoya, Choso and Yuji? The same Yuta with RCT and capable of healing others, a feat that not even Gojo can accomplish. The same Yuta who's been stated to be a prodigy second only to Gojo. You think he's 1st grade???? 😂 Bro, Yuta is still Special grade without Rika.
Stronger than Hakari
The million dollar question.
He would still have Domain expansion, curse amplification and even though his copy cat would be nerfed he still would be special grade considering he would still be able to beat multiple special grade curses by himself
"Rika" IS Yuta's technique essentially, since he made it in the first place. I always though his Mimicry is just a facet or extension of that base technique. So it's weird whenever anyone says how strong is he without Rika, since that would be akin to asking how strong would Gojo be without Limitless.
No, Gojo actually relies on Limitless and its a cursed technique that only works correctly cuz he has Six Eyes.
In Yutas case, Rika is literally spawned feom his own cursed energy so its actually his own power.
Essentially, Yuta without Rika = Yuta + Rika
@@bennogb5069 That's not correct.
The will of Rika to stay with Yuta and Yuta cursing her is what resulted in the vengeful spirit of Rika Orimoto to be born. She simply didn't get this strong from only Yuta cursing her.
Rika, despite the two versions is not being summoned by Yuta's CE, Rika and Yuta have different and their own CE pools. But Rika is directly connected to Copy and Copy is directly connected to Rika.
@@Endmaten1 yeah but they literally talk sbout how a cursed spirit from an ordinary person, with no lineage of sorcerers shouldnt result in a curse so powerful.
The explanation they give is that Yuta CE is the reason she is so powerful. Its because he is the one from a strong line of sorcerers and randomly inherited the blood/potential of Michizane.
They literally state this in JJK:0
@@bennogb5069 As I already explained, Yuta and Rika basically had an impact on how strong the vengeful spirit is, it's based on love after all.
Again, Yuta's CE is not the only factor, his CE wasn't even boundless there. Yuta and Rika created this desire to be together which lead to the vengeful cursed spirit Rika Orimoto to manifest.
Here some statements from Gege inside the fanbook:
"Special grade vengeful spirits that possess boundless cursed energy and can’t be exorcized. A curse that is fixated on a specific individual and manifests on the condition of harming others is called a “vengeful spirit”. Orimoto Rika, who was once bound to Okkotsu Yuta, was classified as a "special grade vengeful spirit" due to her boundless cursed energy."
"It’s fundamentally impossible to deliberately keep souls of the deceased from passing on but this caused a binding to occur, like a glitch in the system - because Okkotsu was entirely unconscious about doing it (he truly wants her to pass on peacefully) and due to Rika’s strong desire to be with Okkotsu."
So yes, Yuta did have an impact but he wasn't responsible for all of it.

As the strongest grade 1 sorcerer Yuta fought the queen of curses Rika...
I’d disagree Yuta created rika without even trying and is actually stronger and more durable than her (when considering the fight with ryu) I think if he didn’t have her he would probably have a awakening of some sort or just get that power back without the 5 min timer
My glorious king yuta 🙌
He’s still special grade. Just not bottom less of cursed energy. Being able to copy without rika at least a few cursed techniques would be insane depending on which ones he keeps. Imagine him with the 6 eyes and infinity or 3 lesser but still powerful techniques like urame ice technique, jogo fire/lava, and jacobs ladder. And still be able to use RCT on himself and others. And a domain as well.
Yuta's situation is similar to Kenpachi where their powers are too much for their body to handle and that's why they're always in nerfed state. Rika in JJK0 represented Yuta's power only but in a cursed state like how Naoya became so powerful after becoming a cursed spirit. Or how Yuki uses a shikigami to channel her CT and made it into a cursed tool sames goes for Nanami & his blunt blade which ino owns now. Even Miwa's sword was a normal blade but became a cursed tool due to regular use. Gojo also told Yuta in JJKO to channelise Rika power through Katana. Remember Junpei's CT was poison but he used Shikigami named Moondreg to channel it because it's more effective that way. Only thing Rika Orimito did is to give current Rika a consciousness which wouldn't had been possible for Yuta to do alone otherwise everything same.
The six eyes are NOT a cursed technique it is a special physical trait in the gojo clan
yuta ,if he survives the next chapter might be able to copy the world cutting slash
I think he'd still be special grade because he could store 1-2 really good techniques that are strong enough to make special grade possible, and have his fundamentals carry him from there. You can think of yuta's copy similar to kenjaku in this regard. His reserves and RTC use can make basically any CT great, as well as his domain just being what it is. But I don't see why he couldn't get something like yuji or kenjaku's techniques and just straight up hold onto them permanently while shuffling another slot.
Yuta will be considered special grade because of 2 things
*1* he beat a special grade
*2* his domain expansion allows him too use unlimited cursed techniques
That's not how you become a special grade though. There are Grade 1s who can beat special grades too. Special grade doesn't mean "super-duper strong and unbeatable", it means "capable of taking over a nation", which is why Yaga was being considered for special grade because his CT would let him create an army of autonomous puppets.
Still you are forgetting number 2 yuta has unlimited copy technique in his domain and he has incredible amounts of cursed energy
I think yaga only died because he didnt wish for strength. If he did he would be on par with kenjaku
True but yuta still can be considered special grade because he is a master swordsman and has pounds of cursed energy and a domain expansion
Rika is a cheat code. Yuta and Rika are special grade, together! Without her, I'm not so sure. A lot of the other sorcerers will definitely be above him. Namely, Hakaria and Kashimo.
I think your forgetting that the whole reason Rika is special is because of Yuta himself since he was the one who crused Rika to be curse and Rika before was just a ordinary girl with no special background to jujutsu whatsoever while Yuta and Gojo share the same ancestor.
All of Rika's crused energy actually belongs to Yuta since he crused her meaning if Yuta didn’t curse Rika then he would've had something else like a shikigami rather then Rika to store his copied CT's and would've had access to his whole crused energy but we don't know for sure.
He is special grade even without Rika. It just means that he'd have to be like Kenjaku and only store the most powerful techniques that he gets the chance to copy.
Example, Jacobs ladder, dismantle and cleave and sky manipulation. Add his CE to that and he's still an anomaly
Yuta without rika can still get around the CT limit. He just has to copy geto’s cursed spirit manipulation, capture special grade cursed spirits and make them his storage unit. He can also summon them to fight alongside him like with rika. It’s more of how he uses copied CT to get around the rule. That is why his copy ability is extremely versatile.
3:21 do you think that’s because of having so much CE (innately or because of Rika) that he could essentially “brute force” the energy output required to perform RCT?
Can Yuta curse another person upon death essentially making another special grade curse like Rika? Also u tha truth bro keep em coming!!
Hey Sleepy tysm for the support! I talk about your question in this video: ruclips.net/video/MefVJwUbz0A/видео.html
Ah yes.
Yuta The sneakiest and King of the bushes.
Just want to remind people yo go back read chapter 178. Because a lot of people misinformed.
The five minute connection begins when he puts on the ring. It does not begin when Rika is fully manifested.
Its a cause and effect situation. The effect of beginning the connection is what allows him to choose whether or not rika comes out fully manifested.
What if okotsu is a copy of himself and he's using mechamarus ability to move the copy around😂😂
Highest quality of Grade 1 Sorcerer, but if he cannot consume a multitude of techniques via Copy, he would fall short of the abnormalities called Special Grades.
Maybe his cursed technique only activated after cursing Rika? If so, I will speculate that his CT is to curse a person, bound his soul to him, and use it to store cursed energy (maybe even to produce) and to store copied CTs that he was able to copy only after cursing a person.
Don't forget Yuta has domain expansion! We have not seen any sorcerer grade 1 or below that can use a complete domain. Nanami could not use it, Megumi's was incomplete. Having one is alone a Special grade feat. Although I do not know how not having Rika would affect his DE.
hey I have a question
why hasn't sukuna used fuga(open) yet
(basically that hidden CT used while fighting jogo)
I think after this recent chapters there is more chances of using that open, and in my opinion I think there are multiple techniques stored in his open. And I also wants to see his other cursed tool Hiten.
Great points, but what can we glean from the fact that Yuta is the one that “created” Rika? I guess you could liken it to Inumaki cursing people before learned To properly use his cursed speech But this seems to be on a whole other level
ehh. if copy is his innate technique, then most likely he could store the techniques in his brain instead of Rika.
this would mean that he would be more akin to kenjaku, as he would not need to rely on the 5 mins of manifesting Rika to have his techniques, he would just have the 3 or 4 techniques constantly active around the clock.
I personally believe that would bring him up to special grade.
i thought you were going to dive a bit into Yuta´s bloodline but since we dont got much info it´d be just speculation anyway but at least we know that he is related to a powerful clan
"What if yuta didn' have rika?"
Yuta can finally get together with maki, of course
I’d say he would be significantly stronger he’d get back his curse energy and most likely not need rika for his condition. Also he could probably make a smaller and weaker rika to hold his cursed technique and maybe tools.
What I don't like about Yuta's CT is its name, because it's just "Copy", it's way too literal compared to other techniques in the verse. Sukuna's techniques are called "Cleave and Dismantle", not just "Cut".
I can't think of a better name either, though.
Technically speaking, he wouldn't even be a jujutsu sorcerer at all without rika
Say it to Kusakabe and Yuji
@@nevermind5457 what does that have to do with either of them,
Yuta only similar to Yuji cause they both got death sentences because of the king and queen of curses, thats how they got introduced to jujutsu in the first place
So technically speaking they wouldnt even be jujutsu sorcerers
idk why you referring to kusakabe tho
@@lucifermorningstar7401 Kusakabe is a grade 1 sorcerer and he doesn't have any cursed technique, so why Yuta couldn't become sorcerer without Rika?
@@nevermind5457 i never said anything about yuta not having a curse technique🤷
I have a question and i know its stupid but
Can a shinigami capable of doing a black flash?
Well when yuta draws Rika back into his own cursed energy it skyrockets so he himself technically gets stronger he just loses most of his strategy and advantages
Can yuta use sakuna world dismantle attack now after copying sakuna curse technique
What if Kenjaku didnt have an open domain? or what if he only had CSM?
Yuta is the biggest fraud in all of anime 😂
I think yuta can use copy without rika but can’t just use the techniques over again I think he could copy a technqiue but use it once and can only use it again when rikas summoned because rika stores the technique she doesn’t seem to do anything other than that against uro even if rika was summoned yuta alone used thin ice breaker rika didn’t really help
His domain is his CT and it is copying.
But maybe it is Rika but then I guess Rika can not die or respawns because you can not kill the CT of someone.
Can a maximum domain expansion exist?
But he created rika…. Right??? Like he cursed her didn’t he? Couldn’t he do that to someone or something else and be just as powerful or even more?
Maybe I’m misunderstanding how Rika came to be.
can yuta copy gojos hollow purple?
This makes no sense because he CREATED RIKA WITH HIS POWER
@@gaelurquiz5755 wasn't it said that she was so powerful because he had so much CE and was a descendant of the same person Gojo was related to? It's pretty clear Yuta is special because of the amount of CE that was even needed to make "Rika" in the first place.
@@gaelurquiz5755 Yuta single-handedly created a special grade curse spirit, it absolutely has to count how strong he is. You don't just create the Queen of Curses by being a regular child.
@@gaelurquiz5755 that is the worst counter argument I've heard in a while. CT are inherent to someone, Yuta's CT and massive CE allowed him to single-handedly manifest a special grade cursed spirit as a child novice, accidentally, and that spirit had so much power it was quoted by Jujutsu Society as the Queen of Curses and you say that doesn't matter because of arbitrary reasons.
Everything "Rika" has CAME FROM Yuta, that's why she's tied to him and why even if she's dispelled she can just remanifest herself to Yuta. The original Rika Orimoto was just a regular person, who was cursed by Yuta, it was Yuta's own CE and CT that made "Rika" so strong in the first place.
The creator and user of a CT is intrinsically as strong the CT itself. Gojo is strong because of Limitless and because he is also inherently strong with the Six Eyes. You can't disregard something so intrinsic to a character because you don't understand it. That would be like disregarding Yuji's strength and ability just because we don't fully know how Death Womb Paintings work.
Explain why Rika as a cursed spirit is different than a shikigami
How Kenjaku are able to use other techniques?
What's Rika's CT
without rika yuta still solo special grade curses kurokushi
W EU time
When is it stated that the brain can only hold up to 4 cursed techniques?
Kenjaku says it. That's why he can only use the cursed techniques of his 3 most recent vessels. That's 4 when you add his own technique.
The yuta glazing is insane
Yuji will become the strongest, yall are sleeping on my boy yuji too much
kusakbe is violating yuta with no rika
No
SPOILERS FOR JJK MANGA IN THIS COMMENT, AVOID IF NEEDED!
Without Rika Yuta still has the following: Yuta reacquired the title of special grade three months after the events of JJK 0, has CE reserves larger than Gojo, is tough enough to withstand both Ishigori's punches and energy blasts, a domain expansion, landed a black flash, RCT, killed a special grade curse, briefly killed post Shibuya Yuji, 2nd only to Gojo in "unique abilities", and can hold 4 CT without Rika reducing the strain.
He’s at minimum a Grade 1 Sorcerer considering his contention with a post shibuya Yuji who is viewed as grade 1 level by Mei Mei. Added on that if he copes Star Rage or Curse Spirit Manipulation he’s hitting special grade. That’s not even counting that he now has cleave and this had that potential.
Overall he's at minimum a Grade 1 without his CT, with it he can still reobtain his special grade title via the copy of Dismantle and Cleave or by copying another Special Grade Sorcerer's technique.
He only killed yuji because of Rika though.
@@Jo-np4gbincorrect. Yuta was dominating yuji so hard that he was able to sleep him in the middle of choso vs naoya, go there, and knock out choso (someone equal to yuji at the time) with a couple hits. He didn’t even take damage. He’s still special grade
@@Jo-np4gb I'd say I disagree with that one. Personally I think Yuta took Yuji semi-seriously, as he did believe that his initial rush would've killed Yuji and was impressed by Yuji's ability to break his katana along with his speed. That said Yuta himself was not at his best, as you don't see him use his CT along with him lacking the need to defend something he care's for, which Sukuna views as Yuta's best motivation to go all out.
hell naw, we know yuji was holding back but bro yuta barely used any copies, like he could legit tell yuji to off himself there and he auto wins and we know yuta has way more cursed energy than yuji does so it would likely work since he literally told sukuna to not move and it worked against SUKUNA@@Jo-np4gb
Yes to all of what you said, BUT Special Grade means taking over a country. Geto was a S grade without RCT just because his CT was dangerous for a country, doesn’t mean that Yuta cannot take him 1v1 without Rika
