| “ | Yuji, you're a strong kid, so try to help others. Save the people you can, even if it’s only those closest to you. It’s okay if you lose your way and don’t worry about whether they’ll thank you or not. Just save as many as you can, even if you can only save one. When you die, you should be surrounded by people. Don’t end up like me. | „ |
| ~ Wasuke gaving his Grandson: Yuji his last words and advice to help others before he passes away peacefully. |
| “ | As a kid, I was always better than most in sports and in fights. But never once did I think 'this is something only I can do'. Never! [..] Consuming Sukuna is something only I can do! So even if I could escape my death sentence and run away from this responsibility, then someday I'd be eating food, taking a bath, or reading manga. And the moment I stop to think, I'd go 'Oh, I bet that right now, somewhere out there, someone is dying because of Sukuna. But that doesn't concern me. It's certainly not my fault. You expect me to tell myself that? Well, I refuse to do that. I don't know how I'll feel when I'm dying, but... I won't regret the way I lived! | „ |
| ~ Yuji to Masamichi Yaga. |
Yuji Itadori is the main protagonist of the manga/anime series Jujutsu Kaisen. He is one of the three first-year students at Tokyo Jujutsu High, alongside Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, after becoming the vessel for the King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna.
Despite being a first year, Yuji possesses an incredible amount of potential and power, with his teacher Satoru Gojo placing him among the students who may one day surpass him. It is later revealed that his father Jin was the twin brother of Sukuna in his previous incarnation, making him the "nephew" and descendant of the King of Curses. It also explains why Sukuna was incapable of possessing Yuji's whole body at will.
In Japanese, he is voiced by Junya Enoki. In English, he is voiced Adam McArthur.
What Makes Him Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- From the beginning, Yuji was a kind and compassionate boy who sought to commit to righteousness as instructed by his grandfather. While he does occasionally demonstrate recklessness, it's only because he wants to do the morally right thing to achieve the best possible outcome for everyone.
- While he possessed a personal hatred towards villains such as Ryomen Sukuna and Mahito, this is heavily justified since the two of them have no single regard for human life, something that completely disgusts Yuji.
- Furthermore, while he was initially wrathful towards Mahito and intentionally sought to strike terror into his heart when he managed to defeat him, he subverts this after defeating Sukuna, offering him an olive branch to live a normal life even if Sukuna refuses.
- Furthermore, his desire to kill Mahito at the end was due to a sense of duty rather than personal hatred, simply believing he was a cog on a mission and that Mahito was right it's in their nature to eliminate each other. He also proved he was fine with ignoring Mahito after Kenjaku's arrival as he tried to save Gojo.
Present[]
- He ate Sukuna's finger without hesitation to stop the Curse from rampaging and save his friends, despite Megumi's warning that it will kill him.
- Took control over Sukuna and stopped him from killing Megumi.
- Convinced Yaga about his goal of giving people a proper death, thus getting his approval and admission in Jujutsu High.
- When Tadashi was trapped due to the Finger Curse's Veil, he convinced Megumi that every human life is precious, thus convincing Megumi to assist in their goals.
- After Sukuna took control over Yuji's body and tried to kill Megumi, Yuji refused to take Sukuna's bait and died refusing Sukuna any victory. When Sukuna revealed he anticipated this response and revives him with a Binding Vow, Yuji didn't have any idea.
- When Kenjaku arrived, he immediately stopped trying to kill Mahito, instead choosing to focus on saving Gojo.
