Yuta Okkotsu has the jujutsu kaisen version of a classic power in anime: the ability to copy abilities from others. In his case any cursed technique. But how does Yuta copy techniques? In this post, I’ll explain how it works, give examples of innate techniques Yuta has copied, explain how it relates to his domain expansion and more. So, let’s keep going.
What is Yuta’s cursed technique?
Yuta’s cursed technique is called Copy. This name comes from its ability to replicate another person’s innate technique.
Yuta can use copy, with the known condition that Rika must consume part of the original user’s body. It is not confirmed if there are more conditions. Rika stores the techniques, and Yuta can use those abilities stolen by Rika.
Yuta’s cursed technique and his domain expansion
Yuta’s domain expansion is one of the strongest we’ve seen so far in Jujutsu Kaisen. It allows Yuta to use any of the cursed techniques he copied by picking one of the katanas present in his domain, each representing a different copied technique. However, Yuta doesn’t know what ability is imbued in each katana. Once he chooses one of them, Yuta uses a guaranteed hit attack on his opponent. Then, the katana disappears from the domain.
All the abilities Yuta has copied so far
Yuta has used this ability countless times, especially during the Culling Game, where he had the chance to copy many powerful techniques from other participants, preparing to use them against Sukuna.
Ryomen Sukuna’s Cursed Technique
Yuta can even copy Sukuna’s cursed technique, allowing him to launch slashes of cursed energy with cleave and use Dismantle. Though not as powerful as Sukuna’s, Yuta has plenty of time to improve it, assuming Gege Akutami doesn’t kill him off first. Yuta even used it in the face of the King of Curses.
Toge Inumaki’s Cursed Speech
Yuta can also use Toge Inumaki’s Cursed Speech, a powerful technique passed down through the Inumaki family. Cursed Speech allows the user to infuse their words with cursed energy, compelling those who hear them to obey commands. Because this ability is extremely potent, it can be difficult to control.
Initially, Yuta used a megaphone marked with the Snake Eyes and Fangs symbol to amplify his commands. For instance, he once used this technique to command Geto’s curses to die. However, he had difficulty controlling the energy. Later on, he could even successfully use it against Sukuna.
Kenjaku’s brain transplant
In the manga, there’s a controversial moment where Yuta uses Gojo’s body. This is only possible because Yuta stole Kenjaku’s ability to take over someone else’s body. With this power, he can use the six eyes and even Gojo’s domain expansion, Limitless, for a five-minute period.
sky manipulation
The way Yuta Okkotsu uses the Sky Manipulation, which is from Takako Uro, shows adaptability and learning skills to an unbelievable level. This ability makes him treat the sky as an actual surface, thus enabling him to manipulate space and carry out unique attacks. An extension of Uro’s control over the sky, one such notable move, is the Thin Ice Breaker. Instead of impacting directly, the sky surface is hit, smashing and cracking like thin ice and raising in force into the target. Yuta used Thin Ice Breaker on Ryu Ishigori for the first time, making him spit blood from the mighty blow.
Clairvoyance from Charles
Yuta Okkotsu has also learned to use the technique known as clairvoyance. It is actually the one that Charles Bernard originally owned; it is called G Warstaff. This ability enables Yuta to have a glance into the future. G Warstaff uses a large pen to draw manga panels with the opponent’s blood, enabling the user to predict future movements. Though the details of how and when Yuta gained this ability are unknown, he has successfully applied it to his arsenal. For example, Yuta was able to effectively use this technique against the king of curses.
Angel’s Technique Extinguishment
Yuta Okkotsu’s acquisition of Technique Extinguishment from the ancient sorcerer Angel boosts his already impressive abilities. This technique nullifies all jujutsu techniques, including barriers and seals, originally wielded by Angel. With this power, Yuta can exorcise powerful cursed spirits and objects like Sukuna. Jacob’s Ladder, a manifestation of this technique, emits beams of purifying light that can burn and injure curses on contact. This ability was crucial in freeing Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm. Yuta’s mastery of Technique Extinguishment demonstrates his adaptability and formidable strength in battles against curses.
The ‘Copy’ technique is promising. Yuta Okkotsu is a great jujutsu sorcerer; he can copy many kinds of attacks, making him very adaptable and quick-thinking. With each ability he copies, from Sukuna’s powerful slashes to Angel’s Technique Extinguishment, he becomes more versatile. With Rika by his side, he keeps getting stronger and proves his strength against strong curses. His quest for new skills and constant improvement keeps fans excited, always looking forward to what he will do next in the series.
