Jujutsu Kaisen manga has once again surprised fans with an insane plot twist as Yuta, a fan-favorite character, finally gets their chance to shine.

Jujutsu Kaisen manga has sidelined the battle against the strongest. The series is currently focusing on Kenjaku, the other antagonist of the series. The villain is planning to merge Master Tengen with the Japanese population. While the other sorcerers are either fighting Sukuna or are on standby, Takaba challenges the ancient curse user alone.

Luckily, Takaba is no pushover by any means. Kenjaku is flabbergasted after witnessing his insane technique. However, the battle soon changes into a comedy routine as we learn more about Fumihiko Takaba. His ability to manifest his thoughts into reality can rival even Satoru Gojo.

No doubt, Kenjaku faces trouble defeating the comedian-turned-sorcerer. However, as Kenjaku figures out a way to defeat Takaba, another character makes their comeback.

Fan-favorite character returns in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 243

Yuta gained a massive fandom after the prequel movie. However, he took his sweet time to make his debut in the main story. He first appears in Chapter 137 after the Shibuya Incident ended. Since then, Yuta has never left Japan again as he continues to help the sorcerers and his fellow students.

After Gojo’s death, Yuta is the only remaining special-grade sorcerer. However, he didn’t get any major fights in the series until now. Even during the battle against the strongest, Yuta is on standby while Yuji and Hiromi challenge the King of Curses. However, it was all a plan to defeat another villain.

Before Gojo vs Sukuna, Yuta swore to himself that he would never let Gojo kill his best friend again. He wants to defeat Kenjaku, who is currently occupying Geto’s body.

In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 243, Yuta suddenly appears behind Kenjaku and severs his head. Since Yuta is a special-grade sorcerer with an insane amount of cursed energy, Kenjaku should’ve sensed his presence. But Yuta is able to land a sneak attack thanks to Takaba.

The newly awakened sorcerer is only bait, while Yuta is the one who plans to kill the villain. Although it’s unclear if Kenjaku will occupy another body again, at least Yuta fulfilled his promise and saved Gojo’s best friend, Geto. The scene is surely unexpected, with Yuta looking more menacing than ever.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One PieceAttack 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
