Who is Yuta Okkotsu in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Yuta Okkotsu (JJK 0’s protagonist and major supporting actor in Jujutsu Kaisen anime) is a special-grade sorcerer who was cursed by his late childhood friend, Rika Orimoto. When Gojo Satoru learns of the tragedy, he takes Okkotsu under his wing and recruits him as a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High. He trains Okkotsu there along with Toge Inumaki, Maki Zenin, and Panda.

Origin of Yuta’s Powers

Yuta Okkotsu gained his power and abilities following the death of his childhood friend Rika Orimoto. It was shown that he was cursed by her because she had a great love for him and never wanted to leave his side. Rika Orimoto (The Queen of Curses) eventually becomes the source of Yuta’s overwhelming power.

It was revealed later in the story that Rika did not curse Yuta at all. In fact, it was the other way around. Yuta cursed Rika inadvertently because he couldn’t accept the death of his beloved friend. Gojo then also revealed that Yuta is a member of a well-known Jujutsu clan and is related to “Michizane Sugawara,” regarded as one of the greatest jujutsu sorcerers of all time.

Yuta Okkotsu possesses a plethora of cursed energy techniques as well as numerous ultimate powers in Jujutsu Kaisen. However, we will only highlight the major powers and qualities that he possesses as of now in the anime. The list of powers and abilities is as follows:

Infinite Cursed Energy

Yuta Okkotsu possesses a vast amount of cursed energy, and we can assume he would never run out of cursed energy during a fight. This is because he comes from a powerful clan, and naturally, he possesses massive amounts of energy. But you should remember that he has the ultimate powers he obtained from Rika. The combination of both incredible powers caused him to construct a tank within himself, which is filled with an endless amount of cursed energy. So when it comes to cursed energy, no one in the jujutsu world can compete with him, not even his master Gojo Satoru (one with the blindfold).

You have already seen Naruto’s Kakashi Hatake, The Copy Ninja, and admired his Jutsu copying techniques using the Sharingan. Well, we have Yuta Okkotsu in the Jujutsu Kaisen world to give Kakashi some competition. Yuta can copy cursed techniques flawlessly without using any additional tools or powers. His ability to copy techniques from other jujutsu sorcerers has to be one of his most important and powerful traits.

This was first seen in the Jujutsu Kaisen: 0 movie during the fight between Yuta and Geto Suguru. Yuta was able to successfully employ Inumaki’s cursed speech, despite the fact that the technique had only been passed down within the Inumaki clan. As a result, Yuta possesses one of the most impressive abilities that no other sorcerer can match for the time being.

It is a unique technique that allows jujutsu sorcerers to transform negative energy into positive energy. It is mentioned that reverse cursed techniques can be used for a variety of purposes such as healing, disintegrating cursed spirits, and so on. However, it’s generally used for healing. Although it appears to be a simple technique, it is one of the trickiest techniques to master (even Gojo struggled with it at first) and only a few jujutsu sorcerers can use it effectively.

In JJK 0: The movie, Geto severely injures Yuta’s friends. Okkotsu rescues them with the help of Rika and starts healing them using the reverse cursed technique.

Another surprising power we see from Yuta Okkotsu is the ability to create anything he desires. He can summon weapons and objects with Rika’s help. It was shown in the movie only once when he summoned a megaphone with the “Snake and Fangs” symbol of the Inumaki clan. He asked Rika for the same and used it to maximize the power of the cursed speech against cursed spirits. We expect to see the full extent of this cool ability in the manga, including the ability to create weapons, and hopefully in the anime as well.

When will Yuta meet Itadori?

Apart from healing, the reversed curse techniques can be used to completely disintegrate the cursed spirits.
