The recent episode of Jujutsu Kaisen features Aoi being unable to use his innate technique. Will his hand recover in the future?

Jujutsu Kaisen features the final showdown between Yuji and Mahito, and naturally, Aoi Todo appears at the right time to support his friend. Aoi pulls Yuji up from the depths of despair. The duo have fought together against Hanami in Season 1, and it’s safe to say it is one of the best fight sequences in the entire series.

Naturally, the expectations from the duo’s fight against Mahito were quite high, and they both didn’t disappoint at all. Yuji destroys Mahito, but it never would’ve been possible without Aoi’s help. However, Aoi pays a heavy price for it.

In Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 21, Mahito cuts off Aoi’s hand. The young sorcerer is unable to use his innate technique, Boogie Woogie. Aoi also says that his Boogie Woogie is dead. Does that mean Aoi Todo can never use his technique again in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Can Aoi Todo regain his hand and technique in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Recovering someone’s limbs isn’t that unusual in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Reverse Cursed Technique can heal human bodies. Someone as talented as Shoko can even heal fatal injuries. However, Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration alters the very shape of someone’s soul.

After transforming Junpei in front of Yuji, Mahito regretted his decision and thought it would’ve been better to injure him instead of using his technique on him simply. That way, Yuji could’ve convinced Sukuna to take over his body and heal Junpei with Reverse Cursed Technique.

This proves that Reverse Cursed Technique can never recover something that Mahito’s cursed technique has destroyed. Since Aoi triggers his technique by clapping his hands, he cannot use it again. Aoi knows that which is why the sorrow on his face is clearly visible. Mahito probably aimed to make Aoi a transfigured human, but he saves himself by chopping his arm off.

Shoko is the most talented healer in Jujutsu Kaisen as her Reverse Cursed Technique far surpasses even that of the mighty Satoru Gojo. However, not even she can help Aoi regain his hand. Aoi still has his cursed energy, but without his technique, he cannot fight strong opponents.

Being one of the strongest sorcerers in the series, it’s a tragedy that the Jujutsu world had to lose such a talent. Aoi also disappears from Jujutsu Kaisen since he has yet to make an appearance after the Shibuya arc.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple:

  1. Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world
  2.  Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica
  3.  Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched

Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference; for example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows.

You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan, or you can pay for a subscription – there’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
