This post contains spoilers from the Epilogue chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen.

SUMMARY

• Gege reveals that Sukuna is not related to Jin but to Wasuke Itadori.

• Wasuke being Sukuna's grandfather makes more sense than their similarities.

• The change does not affect Yuji's powers; he still inherits the potential and defeats Sukuna.

Jujutsu Kaisen saw the release of its final book recently, and fans got a lot of exciting content before the series officially ended. The biggest surprise fans got from the last book JJK was a 16-page epilogue, which focused on many people's lives and released a lot of information for fans.

But, of course, that's not all. In general, the version of the chapter is more refined, with better art, and sometimes, completely changed panels. At the same time, fans have also seen the author's notes and comments in different situations, and one such comment changed Yuji Itadori and Sukuna's relationship completely, according to his fans knew him.

How Gege shows the relationship between Yuji and Old Sukuna

• Previously, Yuji was thought to be Sukuna's nephew

• Jin Itadori is said to be Sukuna's Reincarnated Brother

In The JJK Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Yuji Itadori and Sukuna's relationship was finally revealed to fans. When sukuna fights Yuji, it becomes clear to the fans that he was actually born as a twin. But in his mother's womb he ate his twin children, and that is why he was born. Basically, Sukuna is cursed from the beginning, but, in a way, he is also forced to survive. It is then revealed that Sukuna's twin was reincarnated years later as Jin Itadori, who fans know is Yuji's father. That's what sukuna's uncle Yuji was all about, and that's what fans have been doing ever since.

Does that mean he has the same talent as Master Sukuna? – Sir

This relationship between Sukuna and Yuji was really interesting in the last episode of the series, and it also went on to explain why Sukuna was as invested in Yuji as he was, and at the same time, the reason why Yuji had great potential to compete. Sukuna's. It was Uraume who said that sukuna was Yuji's uncle and living in his body meant that he had the same powers as him, and that was certainly exciting for the fans, to say the least. However, Sukuna and Yuji's relationship has officially changed. It seems that the author made a mistake in releasing the chapters each week, and the book version officially corrects that mistake. In the JJk movie version, it is revealed that Jin Itadori is not Sukuna's reincarnated son.

How the Final Book deals with Sukuna's relationship with Yuji

Sukuna's relationship is not with Jin Itadori but Wasuke

In the last book, Gege added special notes to the different JJK chapters. Here he confirmed the big fact that shocked many fans. Most fans have been operating under the assumption that Yuji is actually Sukuna's nephew. But that is not the case. Gege reveals that Jin Itadori is not Sukuna's brother incarnate, but Wasuke Itadori. For those who don't remember, Wasuke is Yuji's grandfather that fans met at the beginning of the series. It's interesting to know that just as Wasuke left Yuji's life, Sukuna entered. This relationship makes more sense than Sukuna's relationship with Jin, which doesn't feature much in JJK's story in the grand scheme of things. However, at the same time, it completely changes Yuji's relationship with Sukuna.

“Actually, it's not Itadori's dad, but his grandfather who has the same soul.” – Gege Akutami

In reality, Wasuke and Sukuna were brothers and then Sukuna proceeded to devour him. He then returns to Yuji's grandfather centuries later, and then Jin Itadori is born. Jin is actually Sukuna's niece. Meanwhile, Sukuna is actually Yuji's grandfather, which complicates the relationship.

Speaking of Sukuna's relationship with Wasuke, it is more than certain that they are related.

After all, Wasuke is very similar to Sukuna, and fans know that there is something between these two characters. During this time, she played a bigger role in Yuji's life. He taught her the meaning of love, and helping others, which is the complete opposite of Sukuna. Basically, he and Sukuna are two sides of the same coin. While one rejected love and went on an extravagant path, the other accepted it and tried hard to help as many people as he could. It was Wasukesm's love that eventually won over Sukuna.

That said, it's a strange mistake by the author. Wasuke being Sukuna's reincarnated brother isn't a minor thing that the writers can just fix in the movie version and get away with it. This was a huge mistake on the part of the writers, and something that confused fans. Fortunately, The JJK The last Saga was so focused on combat that the lore aspect was not very important. In the end, Yuji finally defeats Sukuna, which means that it doesn't really matter who he is dealing with.

How this change affects Yuji's potential

Yuji's relationship with Sukuna does not affect his powers

The writers did a massive retcon in the story, as even Sukuna himself said at one point that his reincarnated brother caused Kenjaku to have children. As fans know, Kenjaku had a child with Jin and not Wasuke, which makes matters even more complicated.

But, Wasuke's dramatic transformation into Sukuna's reincarnated brother means little in the grand scheme of things. Of course, if Wasuke and Sukuna's relationship had developed further in the story, this change would have been huge. But, as fans know, this relationship is of little importance as Wasuke's role is very small JJKand his relationship with Sukuna is never fully explained. It's just there to be a connection between Yuji and Sukuna, and it does a good job in that regard. If Jin was Sukuna's reincarnated brother, things hadn't changed much.

At the end of the day, Yuji inherits the freedom of these people and continues to beat Sukuna, carrying on the legacy of those who came before him. He ended once and for all, and that ended the story of Ryomen Sukuna.

At this point, JJK has already concluded, and it is not very important to the author who will end up with a big thank you to these people. But, at least the fans can finally say that the popular idea that Jin will be related to Sukuna in some way or form has come true and even if it offers little to the story as a whole, is still an exciting relationship.

Hopefully, if JJK Continuing, fans may get a glimpse of Sukuna in the Heian period, where they can see more information about the twins reincarnated in the body, or, maybe even see Wasuke's life before his death earlier in the year. JJK.

The Epilogue of Jujutsu Kaisen was published with the Final Volume. JJK's latest book will be released in Japan on December 25, 2024. The Book in English will be published in 2025.
