Yuta vs. Yuki – Who Is More Powerful & Who Would Win in a Fight?

Jujutsu Kaisen is known for its powerful characters and its brilliant fights, some of which are among the best animated in the history of anime. The series has become a global hit and is lauded for its fights and action sequences, and because of that, we have decided to compare two extremely powerful characters from the series, both of them protagonists but also quite special and, in a way, unique. The first one is, of course, Yuki Tsukumo, the powerful Special Grade sorceress, who had made a brief appearance in the Gojo’s Past Arc, but her role will increase later, while the second is Yuta Okkotsu, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and the only character with the potential to surpass Gojo. In this article, you will find out who would win in a fight between the two.

And while there is too little data about the true extent of Yuta’s powers, it is quite possible that he would be able to defeat Yuki. Due to the fact that Yuta has almost effortlessly used his powers and that he has been labeled as the only character with the potential to surpass Gojo, it is quite possible that he would be able to defeat Yuki, but this is not absolutely certain.

Now that you have the short version of the answer, we are going to provide you with a detailed category-by-category analysis of the issue, presenting the characters in questions to you and giving you a point-by-point analysis that is going to help you understand why we actually think that Yuta would be able to defeat Yuki in the end, although the fight would undoubtedly be a very close one.

Overall skills

Yuta is one of the four S-class exorcists recognized by the Exorcism School. While being haunted by the spirit of Rika (whom he unintentionally cursed), Yuta was immediately registered as an S-Class due to Rika’s immense power. He seemingly overpowered all of Kyoto’s students in the 29th Tournament and defeated Suguru after releasing Rika’s Power Limiters. Satoru has stated that Yuta has the potential to become stronger than him in the future.

Choso, comparing Yuta’s might to that of Satoru, told Yuji Itadori to run at all costs when he confronted him, Naoya Zenin, and Choso. But Yuta confesses that he lacks strength and is a fairly weak person, which he makes up for by imbuing himself with Cursed Energy.

Yuki Tsukumo is a Special Grade Jujutsu sorcerer and is thus considered to be one of the strongest jujutsu sorcerers in the whole series. Special Grades are rare, and Yuki is, alongside Gojo, Geto, and Yuta, the only known Special Grade jujutsu sorcerer in the series. Her methods of fighting are extremely unorthodox, and she does not agree with the ideology and methodology of the higher-ups, which is why she is considered to be a maverick who does not take on any missions.

On the other hand, she cannot be considered a villain, and she only wants a world without curses, but she simply doesn’t agree with how the higher-ups are dealing with the issue.

She is a superb master despite not teaching at Jujutsu High, and the fact that she helped Aoi Tod develop into the knowledgeable and proficient Grade 1 sorcerer he now demonstrates just how knowledgeable and skilled she is. She can access barrier tactics, domain expansion, and her natural technique. She also possesses incredible fighting prowess, as evidenced by the fact that when they engaged in combat, she nearly killed the strong Kenjaku by parrying his blows.

The overall aspect is where Yuta actually surpasses Yuki, which is why we think that Yuta would ultimately be able to surpass her and why we will award the first point to him.

Point: Yuta 1, Yuki 0

Jujutsu

The source of Yuta’s power is his relation with Sugawara no Michizane, although it first became apparent when he changed Rika into a cursed spirit. Suguru, a voracious collector of potent curses, gave Rika the moniker “Queen of Plagues” since she grew to be such a strong spirit.

Rika can mold her limitless cursed energy into any method as a curse. Yuta returned to Japan after spending a year abroad with much better control over his cursed energy. His weapon and entire body were always infused with a steady stream of Cursed Energy during battle, making up for his lack of physical strength. The devastating power of Yuta’s assaults is unmatched, and he can minimize all damage done to himself.

Because she is a Special Grade jujutsu sorceress, Yuki has extraordinarily high levels of cursed energy, enhancing her skills and powers. It wouldn’t be fair to compare her to a typical Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer due to the vast differences between them. As a result, she can quickly switch between employing her innate technique, reverse cursed skill, and anti-domain methods throughout a single battle.

Her Innate Technique is called Star Rage, and allows her to add additional virtual mass to her and her Shikigami, whose name is Garuda, making their attacks stronger and more devastating. She is also able to use the Reverse Cursed Technique, as well as create a Simple Domain. She also has the ability to expand her own Domain, but this one has not been seen yet. Her special move consists of her turning into an all-destructive black hole, a move she used against Kenjaku.

This is also a category where Yuta seemingly surpasses Yuki. Namely, due to his vast potential, Yuta has the ability to surpass even Gojo, and since Gojo is undoubtedly stronger than Yuki, we assume that at the peak of his abilities, Yuta would be able to defeat Yuki.

Points: Yuta 2, Yuki 0

Fighting skills

Yuta was not known for utilizing violence during his time in school and was somewhat uncoordinated in this regard. Even after attempting to flee while carrying two other kids and Maki Zen’in in his arms, he encountered too many difficulties. However, he demonstrated amazing dexterity in hand-to-hand combat, enabling him to strike his opponent with various, if straightforward, blows. He can get significantly stronger when faced with mad outbursts.

From the start, He has been portrayed as overly frail and having little resistance. After receiving training from Maki Zenin, he improved his durability, enabling him to fight for extended periods of time despite serious physical injuries.

Thanks to her Innate Technique, Yuki can give herself great physical strength to the point that with a punch, she could destroy Kenjaku’s arms and throw him a great distance, even breaking the floor and sending him flying off to another room. Yuki continued fighting even with a shattered arm and was able, even under such circumstances, to create the black hole she used against Kenjaku; she was also able to resist him and hold him tight even when split in half.

This greatly increased her overall combat durability, especially when combined with her capacity to recuperate with the Reverse Cursed Technique. Her skills were on par with Kenjaku’s, and she could engage him in a competitive hand-to-hand fight without suffering any setbacks. She is also incredibly quick and undoubtedly one of the best fighters in the series; she gave Todo pretty much all of his knowledge.

Now, Yuta is a skilled combatant, but Yuki’s fighting skills are her forte, and she was able to surpass even Kenjaku in this aspect, almost winning against him. We have to acknowledge that, which is why we’re awarding this point to her.

Points: Yuta 2, Yuki 1

Intelligence

Yuta Okkotsu is a young man with a strong desire to learn and has demonstrated his ability to catch on to the lessons of the Tokyo school rapidly. He picks up his theoretical and practical lessons incredibly fast, enabling him to use them in battle. He does, however, have some difficulties handling the enormous quantity of cursed energy he possesses because of his low level of intelligence. He can use various cursed techniques because of his talent for mimicking other people’s movements. It is unknown how he obtains the knowledge to employ these strategies, but he has demonstrated his ability to do so effectively.

Yuki is generally thought of as being extremely intelligent and intuitive. She has given her personal ideology a lot of thought, and her line of thinking is essentially faultless. She has additionally proven to be a tactical prodigy, and if certain other circumstances hadn’t changed, she would have defeated Kenjaku in their duel.

This final category is one where we couldn’t determine the winner, as the two of them are both geniuses, so we have decided to split the points.

Points: Yuta 3, Yuki 2

Yuta has the potential to surpass Yuki

In terms of the balance of powers between the two of them, Yuta wins this one because, at his peak, he has the potential to surpass even Gojo, which would be enough for him to surpass Yuki as well and win in a fight against her, as the points reflect, but it would be a close and intense fight.
