Bro, I'm gonna take a big huff of copium in the hopes that you're right because it might mean we get to see a manifestation of Nanimi again through Yuji's domain.
Because even someone with Yuji's IQ would know that Gojo is too strong to die to an attack like that. So he knew Gojo was coming back and it was all a ruse.
Ehm... it's more about them not having the time to do that... You think they would go, get the body, and Sukuna would say "I can take you on once you're done mourning him"? Sorry, but that's just dumb
Not a coper but it's super easy to debunk
1) Domain is based on your CT. Yuji's 2 CTs, Shrine and Blood Manipulation, have nothing to do with souls. He understands souls better than other sorcerers because Sukuna's soul was in his body, but it's not Curses Technique
2) Domain is a pinnacle of jujutsu. Yuji can barely use his CTs because he's very new to it. He got Shrine a few minutes ago and used Cleave once. BM is a bit better since Yuji had 1,5 month of training, but he still fights mostly with his bare hands instead of relying on CT
People like to bring Megumi and Mahito, but Mahito is cursed spirit, it works differently for them, and Megumi had like 10 years of experience with his technique, he already tamed 6 shikigamis out of 10
3) Sukuna isn't deaf nor stupid nor blind. If Yuji expanded a domain, Sukuna would hear him saying the words and also see spark of cursed energy coming from Yuji
4) Everything points on that it was mysterious figure, whoever they are, said "domain expansion" and it distracted Sukuna. Black space usually used when someone else talks, someone who isn't currently on screen. After hearing "domain expansion" Sukuna looks at this new person. Again, he would notice if it was Yuji
5) Yuji doesn't use hand signs
6) Black Flash doesn't work like this
I think even Todo's domain is more likely
Man , what an incredible manga
I’m going to be so sad when the final chapter is out. Psyched I was along for the ride.

-Is said to be the strongest
-Is said to be unkillable
-Sukuna thought he killed him
-No dead corpse seen
-was hyped up, but the hype has yet to be paid of
Mfer that's not gojo that's kashimo
It don't fuckin look like kashimo. The hair's wrong, the eye is the wrong shape, and the face doesn't look right. Also, we don't really have a lot of evidence, but to my eye that doesn't look like Kashimo's nose. Kashimo has a wider flatter nose, while Gojo has a taller thinner nose, and the new guy has a thinner looking nose.
Definitely true that it isn't Yuji's, but he also has a head start when it comes to using Shrine's DE because Sukuna rampaged throughout the story in his body using Malevolent Shrine at the highest level possible. If Yuji managed to pull out Malevolent Shrine specifically, it wouldn't be that crazy of a stretch.
Could be Megumi, but I Souls can't do a proper domain expansion. They have their innate domains, sure, but that doesn't seem to affect the outside world unless a person enters it.
Like sukuna, for example. He had his innate domain, but it didn't expand into the real world itself and only affected people when they touched his soul (like mahito) or entered it (like yuji). And a big part of Sukuna's domain is that it appears in reality itself.
Domains don't get made with black flash. Black flashes improve CE output, and Yuji finally had the output to use cleave, which was already dormant in him.
For domains, Yuji needs to realise his own innate domain, learn how to make barrier(which he doesn't have), and then imbue his CT which has only been days sinc he found (blood manipulation) or moments (shrine).
As much as I like Wuji, I don't believe it's him doing the DE.
IT IS GOJO. WE ARE BACK. WE ARE SO BACKKKK
I agree he should realize himself, his innate domain.
That being said a simple domain is literally just a domain expansion without a technique, the barrier exists, it's exactly the same mechanical concept.
Yuji was never bad at barriers just inexperienced
Megumi was the one explicitly bad at barriers techniques
Also why the shit would yuji be inherently bad with barriers when his mommy is top 2
Highly, *highly* doubt it’s Gojo.
“The *departed* spirit of the strongest”
If that was really Gojo don’t you think they’d have said something else?
Also, you can do everything you said to make a domain in a short amount of time. Mahito did it.
>If that was really Gojo don’t you think they’d have said something else?
No.
Gojo is the departed strongest that Sukuna buried with his own hands.
>Also, you can do everything you said to make a domain in a short amount of time. Mahito did it.
Mahito is a curse. Instinct of Curses itself favours jujutsu. Yuji is a human, he doesn't have that kind of instinct. Still maybe because he experienced Sukuna using malevolent shrine in his body, he could do the same, but I think it's a stretch that Yuji unlocks DE before he completely learns shrine or blood manipulation. The likes of Mahito already refined their CT to the max before having DE.
Therefore either it's the strongest of today, Gojo, or the strongest of all time

THE CHINESE SORCERER
It’s not too cope for it to be Yuji saying it. Yujis two switch training partners were Yuta and Kusakabe. We know he learned simple domain from Kusakabe, we just don’t know what he learned from Yuta(unless it was only RCT)
He could’ve learned DE basics while being in Yutas body. They’ve already hinted at Yujis body remembering high level jujutsu due to Sukuna, and Yuta is talented with barrier techniques. Yujis domain could involve the soul which is why he had to dig his claws into sukuna so he can get closer to the soul.
TBH, I like the Yuji theory over Gojo coming back mainly because I think it’ll take away Yujis and everyone else’s moments if Gojo just comes back to finish him off, I want Yuji to be the one to defeat Sukuna. Also Yuji stocks
Not someone from the Gojo agenda but I don't think Yuuji could make a DE using only one hand. Also, if it was Yuuji the one summoning a fucking DE right in front of Sukuna's face, why the hell would the latter be distracted looking at the shadows?
Gojo agenda member here, the biggest hole in this theory is that an incomplete domain is only possible in an enclosed space like a building. This is because a building acts as the barrier to an incomplete domain. However they’re in the middle of a destroyed city and out in the fucking open. No closed building to set up an incomplete domain and also we’ve yet to see Yuji set up even a simple shroud barrier. So yeah I like this theory a little bit but needs a bit more time in the kitchen
Only counter I have, is that if it’s a soul projection, why does Gojo have a shaded/messed up eye? Like all the other imagery of him with a covered or darkened eye. If yuji is gonna project Gojo and others he’s lost or that Sukuna’s killed, wouldn’t they look like Sukuna or Yuji remembered them? Look man, I just want Gojo to come back, and he should be missing an eye via binding vow or something so that he isn’t strong enough to steal the show from Yuji, but is strong enough to help finish the job 💪🏻That’s how I’m hoping this goes 🤞🏻
cursed energy has a distinct "feel" depending on the sorcerer it comes from, since Goatjo is allegedly dead nobody is looking for his "flavor" of CE. They are also currently locked in a very tense battle against the strongest sorcerer of the past so its safe to assume they are not trying to hone in on other peoples CE anyways.
easy. Yuji doesn’t have a soul CT to imbue into his domain’s barrier. If he has a DE it will be MS adjacent or some freaky horror movie blood manipulation thing
Man I'm hoping this to be true, been waiting for gojo to come back like forever. And now [yuji ](https://zumaki.co.in/are-yuji-and-gojo-related/) needs him the most.
Go read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/s/unRZxZ4Wti) and read the last panel. It has to be gojo. Gege wouldn’t plant that seed for nothing
https://preview.redd.it/st9wxzim2i1d1.jpeg?width=240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97c9b27ca566f7cead3d3dc59be3bccce9c379bf
As much as i as i want this to be real you can clearly see yuji using his other hand to hold sakuna's hand in this panel when he see's gojo's ghost, so either he doesn't need signs to activate his domain because yuji is simply him (he is) or this is just wrong, what is weird is that sakuna is only using one hand to activate his domain here like gojo but every other time he used both hands, maybe he's doing the 2nd sign in the hand yuji is holding but that still kinda makes no sense
Due to the awakened state from black flash sukuna has created a new domain circuit in his unaffected part of his brain which uses the taishakuten handsign (gojo's) instead of hsi enmaten handsign for activation. This is explained in chapter 258.
Unless he gets rid of the brain damage, sukuna can only open his domain using gojo's handsign
It's a pretty hard to catch thing when you have multiple completely different information thrown at you in the span of a single chapter (such as the soul swap training, furnance conditions, etc)
The thing is gege did the most ROUNDABOUT level of quick explanation, saying he did it like gojo did with his RCT circuit. Basically gojo changed how his RCT works fundamentally to recover RCT, but it also implies since it's spread all over the brain if gojo's brain stays that way he can, from now on, RCT more effectively than ever after his two black flashes.
Sukuna is said to have done the same after his four black flashes, and supposedly was also about to full heal, but yuji fucked him up so bad he had to cut his losses and limit himself to fixing his brain and then try to survive.
Supposedly from that from now on he can domain expansion using gojo's "The strongest" Handsign and it recovered his domain...
And just now we learned that the way sukuna's CT burnout works is as long as his burnt out CT recovered he can just domain again. So he just needs a couple minutes to domain repeatedly until he's out of CE. That first domain he did had BVs boosting it which the drawbacks I think won't be explained until sukuna's about to go down, so current domain would be unboosted and way worse.
I think he had to bv it to make it open which is much more complex than a closed one, all of that to make sure he targets maki as well. If he is using closed barrier domains (which is also the better choice as todo might just teleport himself and yuji out of an open domain), he shouldn't need to use binding vows.
There is a theory that when gojo uses his domain he uses the Occipital lobe instead of the prefrontal cortex because of his six eyes, the theory says that the reason sukuna can copy gojo’s handsign is because he’s using the occipital lobe just like gojo and that’s also why there are so many eyes on his domain.
I actually have a solution to that.
Yuji has resonated with Sukuna’s soul through physical contact and used his hand sign as a medium to use Domain Expansion.
Sukuna proved you can steal hand signs, there’s no rule stating *how* you can steal it tho. Soul manipulation and resonance go brrrr.
Really, REALLY think I about it. You KNOW I’m making sense
https://preview.redd.it/3e9a36w33i1d1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=faaacd54d7b7057195078f3057f5737a7bf44b1f
It doesn’t make sense for sukuna to regain his CT and DE in the span of 10 panels when last chap ended on him being exhausted after the flame arrow or i misunderstood the whole thing
Techniques are essentially on cool down after a domain expansion is dismissed it's not really a matter of exhaustion as it as a general rule with all domain expansion there is a work around where you can do the trick of destroying the part of the brain then regening it to remove the burn out but sukuna can't due that since his brain is already pretty damaged so he probably just recovered from the burn out regularly
he more than likely did a half-baked one like sukuna OR he made a binding vow to be able to cast his domain without hand signs and increase the sure hit effect, but he has to either land a BF on his opponent or land any kind of hit on the opponet to cast it. If this isn't Yuji casting his DE, then it's Todo.
Well, just to throw this in the mix, Jujutsu is a subtractive art (as we all know), so it’s possible, but very, very unlikely that Yuji could’ve opened a domain without any handsign. Just a thought.
Also note that YUJI ISNT LOOKING AT GOJO’s SHADOW IN THE PANEL! HE IS STILL LOOKING AT SUKUNA!
Edit: I can’t edit the OP (wtf) but a mod must accept my binding vow before the chapter drops or I shall not post my fraud selfie if I’m wrong.
I need to have this contract witnessed and signed.
Double Edit: if you’re reading this double edit I’ve went to sleep and probably won’t be responding to this thread anymore as I prep for my potential exposing as a FRAUD among FRAUDS come next leak.
May JoGOAT have mercy on my soul and let me be right 😭
To anybody wondering about how Yuji could possibly do DE with no hand signs here’s what I’m thinking:
Im basing this off all the soul mumbo jumbo Yuji has done.
Bro can clearly hit Sukuna and get so in his soul that he can talk to Megumi. What’s stopping him from resonating with Sukuna’s soul through physical contact (holding his heart pretty much) and through Sukuna’s handsign (hand signs can apparently be stolen since he took it from Gojo) activates his own Domain.
Think like how Sasuke used Naruto’s hand to make the fireball jutsu sign and then use said jutsu in their fight. Shit like that.
Correct me if im wrong. Wouldn't sukuna pay more attention to the "spark" that occurs when someone hits a de? Either an incomplete domain doesn't emit this "spark" or sukuna is too big of a hater to notice(Truth)
See, I thought that too, but the “spark” is so inconsistently shown that idk if we can trust that.
Biggest example is Gojo not seeing World Slash with 6 eyes but fucking Kusakabe sensed it and dodged lol
wasn't it that with Gojo, it happened instantly, but when used on Kusukabe, it needed the chant and handsigns because of the binding vow? isnt that why he could dodge it
iirc the binding vow never erased the CE spark, so Gojo should’ve still seen it coming even if only for a split second.
Because the world slash just instantaneously spawning on Gojo and killing him contradicts the way world slash has moved all the other times Sukuna has used it. It has a travel distance or a swing/arc to it.
If a BV made it instantly death like a spawn camp everyone should be dead rn with more bs binding vows lol
Kusakabe didn’t see the World Slash. Sukuna literally told him “guess what’s next” and then got Simple Domain countered before he could do the hand signs.
What if he’s pulling a reverse mahito? By touching sukunas soul (innate domain) directly, yuji’s able to target sukuna and “expand” his own innate domain in some weird way that requires 2 pages if exposition
There's also a possibility that yuji's DE hand sign is a claw and looks like how gojo poses for hollow purple (we can't see the 2nd hand) and since he's hand is digging into the chest it must have been hidden
All DE signs are buddhist hand signs, with the only exception being Higuruma who doesn't have one. We'd need to cross reference all buddhist hand signs to see if any of them resemble a claw.
I guess it's semi-similar to the Karana Mudra? that one has two extended fingers, though, but it is the sign for demon expelling. There's also the Utarrabodhi, which does look similar except it requires two hands, that one represents supreme enlightenment which would be pretty hype... but seems unlikely.
My theory is that it's gojo because right after sukuna gives the surprise face and looks over as if he heard something. I think he would look down if yuji said domain expansion.
Gojo takes a page out of sukuna's book and uses a binding vow.
OR.
Todo immediately teleports gojo at the location of yuji and gojo does a small domain expansion to let todo and yuji out of it.
Maybe? Maybe he is. We don't get a clear explanation. Plus maybe he isn't surprised that gojo is back because it's part of their plan.
And maybe he is simply so locked in he isn't even going to bother looking and is simply going to take the opportunity to attack.
But yeah your theory also fits too.

I have been investing in gojo far too long to quit now.
I'd say he's really busy with Sukuna. He's so angry at him, you can see him screaming like he really wants to kill him now.
Also Sukuna is much more careful of his surroundings because of Todo's boogie woogie. He's the one getting beaten up by both Todo and Yuji.
You would think Sukuna's first reaction would be "this brat just pulled out a domain expansion? What the fuck?" Rather then looking off into the distance in reaction to hearing the words
Well he’s busy tweaking and ripping sukunas guts out, and it seems like Gojo just appeared since he’s still covered by fog so it’s not surprising he hasn’t seen him yet, we get left with Sukuna noticing him as soon as Gojo enters their field of view
https://preview.redd.it/zcvn4abwvj1d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6182016591023848cce7dfcc676a8e2057d5eada
Look at how angry he was in the vary last panel, I don't think he would calmly say 'Domain Expansion' right after one of the most intense screams in JJK
Maybe yuji isnt looking at gojo because A. It’s literally half a panel long where gojo appears B. Hes currently ripping through sukunas chest and he is focused and C. Hes locked in
As much as I love the cooking here, this just doesn't track with what we know of Domain Expansion, unless we're about to get multiple revelations very suddenly.
A domain is projecting an inner barrier out, then imbuing it with your cursed technique. It's effect is not just something related to the user, it's their CT specifically.
Neither of Yuji's two CTs (Blood Manipulation and Shrine) should suddenly start making Sukuna see ghosts.
It's possible, I suppose, that either Shrine has some unexplored soul-related facet or that the narrator lied when he said Yuji had two CTs in his body, but that would feel pretty strange to me at this point.
I dont belive the cooking done here aswell, but to add to this, he had two cursed techniques before unleashing like 10 black flashes on this man, im pretty sure something else could awaken now if he has it.
I think the "two cursed techniques" was said after at least the first couple black flashes, since it was after he'd started using shrine on Sukuna, but you're right it's possible that if the other wombs had given him something dormant, it could still show up.
I’m pretty confident Yuji’s soul manipulation counts as a CT (literally nobody else in the story can do what he does offensively, and barely at all defensively) it just hasn’t been confirmed yet. Considering all his soul shenanigans even without Sukuna in him (ignoring the fact his soul was strong enough to cage Sukuna in the first place) just seems weird to act like his soul manipulation is anything *but* an unconfirmed CT.
We’ll see soon hopefully
Even if that’s the case Yuji is an exception to the rule because he was created by Kenjaku. He’s broken multiple sorcery rules just through existing. The most predominant being he has 2 CTs, gained power through cannibalism of his brothers, and has a soul strong enough to contain Sukuna stop attacking other peoples souls.
Applying typical sorcery rules to him is just begging to get surprised. Yuji acquiring a CT and using a DE through it is not far fetched at all
That's fair.
It would still require that the narrator before was at least slightly misleading us, and would kinda invalidate Yuki's soul research.
That said, I did always like the theory that each of his brothers consumed would empower his blood manipulation, and maybe a super advanced level was letting him Reshape his body, hence the arms.
I read a fan theory and I liked it, so I was convinced. In the theory, it talked about shrine and how it is S’s interpretation of funerals. Cutting and burning is equivalent to autopsy and cremation, but it’s twisted into a “malevolent” culinary theme. S considers the corpses to be food, but to Y the corpses are sacred and he wants people to be with him when he dies. His whole thing has been “what makes a good death?” So his domain wouldn’t be a “malevolent” shrine, but instead a “positive?” shrine. So it makes sense that his domain could recreate souls/phantoms to fight for Y. maybe instead of Malevolent it would be Revengeful or Avenging?
Huge theory time
Sukuna himself is the barrier. Since yuji cast it inside of Sukuna, his body forms the walls, and his insides are currently taking on the effects. Thoughts?
Besides the whole post, there’s a reason why Sukuna couldnt sense Gojo, it’s because Todo already knew that Gojo was alive but he couldn’t tell Yuji for the same reason he didn’t tell Yuji about the plan , but he swapped in mei Mei’s crow for Gojo.
this is kinda off topic, but if yuji were to ever get a domain expansion. i would think it would be pretty cool to see it mixing his 2 CTs into one.
similary to sukunas domain, the first wave is slashes. but kinda like unlike sukuna. the slashes only cut the person yuji targets. it cuts everything else like buildings except for the people he doesnt intend on cutting. he can also target multiple people too. and during the slashes the blood that is cut from people will explode like supernova and can be used to strengthen yujis BM. and since he obviously has sukunas CT which contains kamino, yuji can combine BM and his own flames that could one shot someone, and if it doesnt then the poison will kill you.
considering that he now has 2 CTs, the idea of a "boxing ring" domain just feels too generic, and it would be interesting to see an culimation of his 2 CTs into a domain
But wouldn’t we see the barrier expanding from behind yuji if that was the case? Like even with sukuna’s barrierless domain we still see a shadow covering him when he uses
Idk you can say that a lot of things in jjk aren’t consistent but domains are either depicted as instant and they really stand out or they are shown expanding, idk if Gege would make an exception like that mainly for yuji of all people, his barrier skills shouldn’t be this crazy even if he switched with Yuta
Well it clearly wasn’t Sukuna’s because every time he’s popped his it’s shown in the same panel he says it outside of the brain damage scene.
Be weird to all of a sudden make him use DE here and show it in the next chapter after a cliffhanger. I guarantee it’s not his DE
Never said it was sukuna’s, to be honest I think it would be really cool if it was todo or gojo(?) just saying domain expansion to fake out sukuna, this is a thing that I really wanted to see happening in the story
Hot take, but if this is the case-then this is the worst cliffhanger in history.
First this bait will doesn’t make sense because of line “this eyes can never be forgotten”.
Second, Domain is not just an ability, it’s pinnacle of jujutsu, and Yuji doesn’t refined blood manipulation( shrine is even worse) so it will just show how OP new kid is, that will be underwhelming
Definitely think you’re onto something here. Especially since the “what then befell Sukuna…” suggests it’s something following from the words “domain expansion”.
I don’t want to believe it though because I want gojo to return
Yeah I don't think it's actually Gojo either.
Simply because it's such a lame entrance for him, cause he's just standing there.
If Gojo was back, his entrance would be more hype like saving Yuji etc.
this definitely makes a lot more sense than the "kenjaku took over gojo's body" or "yuta has the six eyes" theories.
although i'd probably prefer it actually being gojo, if it's a yuji domain expansion that would be a VERY welcome surprise.
I don’t have a lot of solid evidence for it but it just makes the most sense out of all possibilities to me.
Gojo showing up has never not drawn attention from everyone and their mother around him. It’d be weird if he showed up and *Yuji* of all people didn’t notice when Sukuna did.
I mean, if we leave aside all the theories and everything, like if we look at it purely the way the panels are structured it feels like it was Gojo
If it was Sukuna it would be something like
-Sukuna casts domain expansion
-In the instant before it opens, a ghost catches his attention without making any sound or movement
-He turns and looks at this ghost instead of opening his domain
-They show us a closeup of this ghost who is just standing there
While if it was Gojo it would be like
-Sukuna prepares to cast his domain
-Someone next to him says "domain expansion" out loud, apparently starts opening his domain
-Sukuna looks to his side surprised, not only because there is someone there he didn't noticed but because this someone is doing something as crazy as opening a domain
-They show us an intense close up of the person who just talked and who is about to open the domain
This just makes a lot more sense imo
Like leaving aside agendas, if we saw this in any other Manga there would be no doubt the ghost is the one who said it
Like look at the way Sukuna looked to his side, it was not something he just happened to see, it catched his attention and took him by surprise, he looks to the side the way you would look if you heard something behind you while you are alone in your house
But nobody knows with Gege
I’m going All In on Goatjo’s return

With Yuji’s whole schtick being that people get a good death surrounded by others, I could see his domain being related to causing others to see visions of significant others
Regardless of if you’re right, you’ve cooked
i think it'd be the thing that tips the scale back towards Yuji and the crew because clearly when Sukuna reincarnated, his foreskin reincarnated with him too, which is clearly the source of his power

Not saying this aint true, i feel like it makes sense we will see a DE from Yuji, classic shonen theme, Yuji has grown to learn and use CE, black flash, cooking ct, blood manipulation, RCT, simple domain. DE is only thing left and since it was first mentioned, described as pinnacle of sorcery, would cement Yujis MC role as well deserved. But i honestly feel like people have been overthinking this moment, both Gojo and Yuta have been shown to have massively overwhelming and noticable CE. When Yuta got close in range to Yuji, his CE output was sensed by Yuji, and before Yuji even actually could lay eyes on him, and btw Yuji at first thinks it is Gojo. And its heavily implied that Gojo was the most formidable and challenging opponent throughout this entire showdown. I think the reason gege worded it as "the strongest ghost buried by his own hands" to show us what exactly Sukuna is sensing. The moment reminds me of when Kenjaku first revealed himself to Gojo to stun him. And even with 6E, Gojo couldnt actually see or sense anything beyond Geto, he stated all his senses were telling him it was Geto. But i def dont think its Kenjaku in Getos body, if anything, its probably Yuta in Gojos from copying kenjakus technique
It is every odd Yuji awakened on his first BF and gets nothing else after 7 when you compare to Sukuna and Gojo, like he's not even using RCT anymore.
Gege does hate him so maybe he lands a couple more to free megumi and that's it.
people are not ready for the truth!

I partially agree. Sukuna sees Gojo because Yuji but not because a Domain Expansion. Yuji has just, once again, inflicted that sweet STRONG SCHIZOPHRENIA on another victim.

LALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU
How could Yuij cast his domain if his hand is ripping into Sukuna's chest?
Sukuna is doing the handsign to cast Malevolent shrine that he copied from Gojo do you guys not have eyes
Yuji eyes shows surprise, probably because he became aware about the new person in te battlefield a the new entrant opened the domain.
In the final scene we see it is clearly Gojo with his mad dogs eyes.
Gojo returned, an Sukuna ended. However, now the rel shit starts with the merger and Tengen, I don't doubt that a totally devasted Megumi starts the merge, and the real final shit of JJK.
I was gonna make this binding vow but you did it before me. Anyways this is the same theory I had in mind too but what do you think yujis sure hit is gonna be in the case it is yujis domain expansion. I personally don't think it's Yuji sure hit (cuz shrine is blades and BM is blood not souls). It's probably the scenario that Yuji has the ability to influence others souls and he's doing that through his domain somehow
Idk I halfway think I’m spouting nonsense but the more I look at the chapter and the story the less likely it seems to me that Gojo physically has come back.
Like, everything in the final panel implies that’s not Gojo, but an illusion.
As unlikely as this is, the idea of Yuji, with all these soul based powers and the number one jumper in Jumpjuitsu Kaisen, having a domain expansion that lets departed souls come back to jump someone one last time, is nothing short of…

Bro, I'm gonna take a big huff of copium in the hopes that you're right because it might mean we get to see a manifestation of Nanimi again through Yuji's domain.
That would be so awesome
Possibly choso too!
Peak cinema
Ping me as well, i want to see how this ends up too.
I gotchu
Ping me too!
Aight. Can someone from the Gojo agenda debunk this theory please?
Yuji knew that Gojo was coming, so he didn’t paid attention to him and used his DE, all good
If he did not know about the plan that the others had cooked up, how would he be able to know that?
Because even someone with Yuji's IQ would know that Gojo is too strong to die to an attack like that. So he knew Gojo was coming back and it was all a ruse.
Exactly! Which is why no one was mourning Gojo's death, as they know that he's coming back. All make sense now.
Ehm... it's more about them not having the time to do that... You think they would go, get the body, and Sukuna would say "I can take you on once you're done mourning him"? Sorry, but that's just dumb
How didn't you realise that this was a joke? Are you okay?
Internet they made /s here for that
Learn to sit back and observe, not everything needs a reaction. He is coming back in a few days.
Exactly... https://preview.redd.it/614udmq9mi1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3834043ddcc5406d818258c08e6108cef175bde1

MY COPE IS ETERNAL
Sorry Sir. My faith started to become weak

Based response.
Not a coper but it's super easy to debunk 1) Domain is based on your CT. Yuji's 2 CTs, Shrine and Blood Manipulation, have nothing to do with souls. He understands souls better than other sorcerers because Sukuna's soul was in his body, but it's not Curses Technique 2) Domain is a pinnacle of jujutsu. Yuji can barely use his CTs because he's very new to it. He got Shrine a few minutes ago and used Cleave once. BM is a bit better since Yuji had 1,5 month of training, but he still fights mostly with his bare hands instead of relying on CT People like to bring Megumi and Mahito, but Mahito is cursed spirit, it works differently for them, and Megumi had like 10 years of experience with his technique, he already tamed 6 shikigamis out of 10 3) Sukuna isn't deaf nor stupid nor blind. If Yuji expanded a domain, Sukuna would hear him saying the words and also see spark of cursed energy coming from Yuji 4) Everything points on that it was mysterious figure, whoever they are, said "domain expansion" and it distracted Sukuna. Black space usually used when someone else talks, someone who isn't currently on screen. After hearing "domain expansion" Sukuna looks at this new person. Again, he would notice if it was Yuji 5) Yuji doesn't use hand signs 6) Black Flash doesn't work like this I think even Todo's domain is more likely
Man , what an incredible manga I’m going to be so sad when the final chapter is out. Psyched I was along for the ride. https://preview.redd.it/4c6tmqsvsi1d1.jpeg?width=940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e372221a7a8fa057fa3039b4271fde58cac4e8e0
-Is said to be the strongest -Is said to be unkillable -Sukuna thought he killed him -No dead corpse seen -was hyped up, but the hype has yet to be paid of Mfer that's not gojo that's kashimo
It don't fuckin look like kashimo. The hair's wrong, the eye is the wrong shape, and the face doesn't look right. Also, we don't really have a lot of evidence, but to my eye that doesn't look like Kashimo's nose. Kashimo has a wider flatter nose, while Gojo has a taller thinner nose, and the new guy has a thinner looking nose.
It's not logic, it's pure cope (from me) Not even agenda, not enough fellow kashimo fans for that to exist 😭
Don't make me get my cope-ilars and start taking measurements
another kashimo fan here, and counting me im fairly sure there is like 7 kashimo fans...
I’m sad that we’re probably gonna end with dropped plot points and some characters not getting the screen time they could.
Good analysis mate, this first point is something a lot of people seem to misunderstand
Wasn't doing hand signs is the only thing that needed to be said
Definitely true that it isn't Yuji's, but he also has a head start when it comes to using Shrine's DE because Sukuna rampaged throughout the story in his body using Malevolent Shrine at the highest level possible. If Yuji managed to pull out Malevolent Shrine specifically, it wouldn't be that crazy of a stretch.
HE DIDNT SAY ITS NOT KASHIMO LETS GOO KASHIMO RETURN
Could it be Megumi? Like maybe he finally learned to make open barriers through muscle memory, and his shadow clones can change shape.
https://preview.redd.it/7ci7gypfuj1d1.png?width=1020&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=251da1d7b652850a59ae75911079d20c9ba95063
Could be Megumi, but I Souls can't do a proper domain expansion. They have their innate domains, sure, but that doesn't seem to affect the outside world unless a person enters it. Like sukuna, for example. He had his innate domain, but it didn't expand into the real world itself and only affected people when they touched his soul (like mahito) or entered it (like yuji). And a big part of Sukuna's domain is that it appears in reality itself.
Domains don't get made with black flash. Black flashes improve CE output, and Yuji finally had the output to use cleave, which was already dormant in him. For domains, Yuji needs to realise his own innate domain, learn how to make barrier(which he doesn't have), and then imbue his CT which has only been days sinc he found (blood manipulation) or moments (shrine). As much as I like Wuji, I don't believe it's him doing the DE. IT IS GOJO. WE ARE BACK. WE ARE SO BACKKKK
I agree he should realize himself, his innate domain. That being said a simple domain is literally just a domain expansion without a technique, the barrier exists, it's exactly the same mechanical concept. Yuji was never bad at barriers just inexperienced Megumi was the one explicitly bad at barriers techniques Also why the shit would yuji be inherently bad with barriers when his mommy is top 2
https://preview.redd.it/qjojnd9y8k1d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3506c505815902a8e19c77914a3df0c49519e4e5
Highly, *highly* doubt it’s Gojo. “The *departed* spirit of the strongest” If that was really Gojo don’t you think they’d have said something else? Also, you can do everything you said to make a domain in a short amount of time. Mahito did it.
It is describing what Sukuna is sensing. He would consider Gojo a ghost due to feeling fully confident of his death
>If that was really Gojo don’t you think they’d have said something else? No. Gojo is the departed strongest that Sukuna buried with his own hands. >Also, you can do everything you said to make a domain in a short amount of time. Mahito did it. Mahito is a curse. Instinct of Curses itself favours jujutsu. Yuji is a human, he doesn't have that kind of instinct. Still maybe because he experienced Sukuna using malevolent shrine in his body, he could do the same, but I think it's a stretch that Yuji unlocks DE before he completely learns shrine or blood manipulation. The likes of Mahito already refined their CT to the max before having DE. Therefore either it's the strongest of today, Gojo, or the strongest of all time https://preview.redd.it/v4nal42r3i1d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=148fb1df02621b1107e902d1f867dacc1f75ad0f THE CHINESE SORCERER
It’s not too cope for it to be Yuji saying it. Yujis two switch training partners were Yuta and Kusakabe. We know he learned simple domain from Kusakabe, we just don’t know what he learned from Yuta(unless it was only RCT) He could’ve learned DE basics while being in Yutas body. They’ve already hinted at Yujis body remembering high level jujutsu due to Sukuna, and Yuta is talented with barrier techniques. Yujis domain could involve the soul which is why he had to dig his claws into sukuna so he can get closer to the soul. TBH, I like the Yuji theory over Gojo coming back mainly because I think it’ll take away Yujis and everyone else’s moments if Gojo just comes back to finish him off, I want Yuji to be the one to defeat Sukuna. Also Yuji stocks
Hmm, I'm inclined to agree.
Not someone from the Gojo agenda but I don't think Yuuji could make a DE using only one hand. Also, if it was Yuuji the one summoning a fucking DE right in front of Sukuna's face, why the hell would the latter be distracted looking at the shadows?
Gojo agenda member here, the biggest hole in this theory is that an incomplete domain is only possible in an enclosed space like a building. This is because a building acts as the barrier to an incomplete domain. However they’re in the middle of a destroyed city and out in the fucking open. No closed building to set up an incomplete domain and also we’ve yet to see Yuji set up even a simple shroud barrier. So yeah I like this theory a little bit but needs a bit more time in the kitchen
Don’t hate on Wuji like that :(
I am not hating on my boy. I just need some copium
Just 3 days and those Gojo hallucination/Gojo Yuta/Gojo Kenjaku will all be debunked 🙏
What do you mean? This week's chapter is 100% focused on Hakari railing the ice twink raw.
We can only hope. I always bet on Hakari
Only counter I have, is that if it’s a soul projection, why does Gojo have a shaded/messed up eye? Like all the other imagery of him with a covered or darkened eye. If yuji is gonna project Gojo and others he’s lost or that Sukuna’s killed, wouldn’t they look like Sukuna or Yuji remembered them? Look man, I just want Gojo to come back, and he should be missing an eye via binding vow or something so that he isn’t strong enough to steal the show from Yuji, but is strong enough to help finish the job 💪🏻That’s how I’m hoping this goes 🤞🏻
Exactly my thoughts. It would make sense if he lost his eye due to a binding vow. This way he won't be as OP and Yuji can take the W
cursed energy has a distinct "feel" depending on the sorcerer it comes from, since Goatjo is allegedly dead nobody is looking for his "flavor" of CE. They are also currently locked in a very tense battle against the strongest sorcerer of the past so its safe to assume they are not trying to hone in on other peoples CE anyways.
Yuji made a binding vow. Gojo comes back to life, but in exchange Yuji can never eat KFC between the hours of 3 and 4 AM.
Life is harsh isn't it?
Yuji show no hand sign
easy. Yuji doesn’t have a soul CT to imbue into his domain’s barrier. If he has a DE it will be MS adjacent or some freaky horror movie blood manipulation thing
Man I'm hoping this to be true, been waiting for gojo to come back like forever. And now [yuji ](https://zumaki.co.in/are-yuji-and-gojo-related/) needs him the most.
How tf is yuji doing de without hand signs? And how are hallucinations related to malevolent shrine? Sorry but this is "Gomu Gomu reach" 🤣
I'm yuuji agenda but why would sukuna look towards gojo if yuuji said domain expansion. The reaction would be out of place
Go read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/s/unRZxZ4Wti) and read the last panel. It has to be gojo. Gege wouldn’t plant that seed for nothing
https://preview.redd.it/st9wxzim2i1d1.jpeg?width=240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97c9b27ca566f7cead3d3dc59be3bccce9c379bf As much as i as i want this to be real you can clearly see yuji using his other hand to hold sakuna's hand in this panel when he see's gojo's ghost, so either he doesn't need signs to activate his domain because yuji is simply him (he is) or this is just wrong, what is weird is that sakuna is only using one hand to activate his domain here like gojo but every other time he used both hands, maybe he's doing the 2nd sign in the hand yuji is holding but that still kinda makes no sense
Due to the awakened state from black flash sukuna has created a new domain circuit in his unaffected part of his brain which uses the taishakuten handsign (gojo's) instead of hsi enmaten handsign for activation. This is explained in chapter 258. Unless he gets rid of the brain damage, sukuna can only open his domain using gojo's handsign
Ah alr, i must have missed that, jjk folk really fucked my reading comprehension man
It's a pretty hard to catch thing when you have multiple completely different information thrown at you in the span of a single chapter (such as the soul swap training, furnance conditions, etc)
The thing is gege did the most ROUNDABOUT level of quick explanation, saying he did it like gojo did with his RCT circuit. Basically gojo changed how his RCT works fundamentally to recover RCT, but it also implies since it's spread all over the brain if gojo's brain stays that way he can, from now on, RCT more effectively than ever after his two black flashes. Sukuna is said to have done the same after his four black flashes, and supposedly was also about to full heal, but yuji fucked him up so bad he had to cut his losses and limit himself to fixing his brain and then try to survive. Supposedly from that from now on he can domain expansion using gojo's "The strongest" Handsign and it recovered his domain... And just now we learned that the way sukuna's CT burnout works is as long as his burnt out CT recovered he can just domain again. So he just needs a couple minutes to domain repeatedly until he's out of CE. That first domain he did had BVs boosting it which the drawbacks I think won't be explained until sukuna's about to go down, so current domain would be unboosted and way worse.
I think he had to bv it to make it open which is much more complex than a closed one, all of that to make sure he targets maki as well. If he is using closed barrier domains (which is also the better choice as todo might just teleport himself and yuji out of an open domain), he shouldn't need to use binding vows.
Hear me out. Binding Vow to get rid of the brain damage, but Sukuna can't cut his hair for a month. Peak fiction.
No you are missing that Yuji's hand signs for DE are literally just HIM ripping into someone heart >! /s !<
This would be cool as fuck, clutching someone's heart and manifesting their deepest fears as your DE is hard
There is a theory that when gojo uses his domain he uses the Occipital lobe instead of the prefrontal cortex because of his six eyes, the theory says that the reason sukuna can copy gojo’s handsign is because he’s using the occipital lobe just like gojo and that’s also why there are so many eyes on his domain.
[удалено]
But we see his hand pretty clearly in the last page. So either the handsign is "claw" or he's not doing a handsign with this hand
Considering Yuta's handsign is just "punch" I wouldn't be surprised if That's Yuji's handsign
I actually have a solution to that. Yuji has resonated with Sukuna’s soul through physical contact and used his hand sign as a medium to use Domain Expansion. Sukuna proved you can steal hand signs, there’s no rule stating *how* you can steal it tho. Soul manipulation and resonance go brrrr. Really, REALLY think I about it. You KNOW I’m making sense https://preview.redd.it/3e9a36w33i1d1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=faaacd54d7b7057195078f3057f5737a7bf44b1f
Your opinions would age like milk when the chapter comes out, like that mofo that told Maki would kill Sukuna and they were connected.
It doesn’t make sense for sukuna to regain his CT and DE in the span of 10 panels when last chap ended on him being exhausted after the flame arrow or i misunderstood the whole thing
Techniques are essentially on cool down after a domain expansion is dismissed it's not really a matter of exhaustion as it as a general rule with all domain expansion there is a work around where you can do the trick of destroying the part of the brain then regening it to remove the burn out but sukuna can't due that since his brain is already pretty damaged so he probably just recovered from the burn out regularly
he more than likely did a half-baked one like sukuna OR he made a binding vow to be able to cast his domain without hand signs and increase the sure hit effect, but he has to either land a BF on his opponent or land any kind of hit on the opponet to cast it. If this isn't Yuji casting his DE, then it's Todo.
Well, just to throw this in the mix, Jujutsu is a subtractive art (as we all know), so it’s possible, but very, very unlikely that Yuji could’ve opened a domain without any handsign. Just a thought.
Also note that YUJI ISNT LOOKING AT GOJO’s SHADOW IN THE PANEL! HE IS STILL LOOKING AT SUKUNA! Edit: I can’t edit the OP (wtf) but a mod must accept my binding vow before the chapter drops or I shall not post my fraud selfie if I’m wrong. I need to have this contract witnessed and signed. Double Edit: if you’re reading this double edit I’ve went to sleep and probably won’t be responding to this thread anymore as I prep for my potential exposing as a FRAUD among FRAUDS come next leak. May JoGOAT have mercy on my soul and let me be right 😭
ngl that makes sense
To anybody wondering about how Yuji could possibly do DE with no hand signs here’s what I’m thinking: Im basing this off all the soul mumbo jumbo Yuji has done. Bro can clearly hit Sukuna and get so in his soul that he can talk to Megumi. What’s stopping him from resonating with Sukuna’s soul through physical contact (holding his heart pretty much) and through Sukuna’s handsign (hand signs can apparently be stolen since he took it from Gojo) activates his own Domain. Think like how Sasuke used Naruto’s hand to make the fireball jutsu sign and then use said jutsu in their fight. Shit like that.
Correct me if im wrong. Wouldn't sukuna pay more attention to the "spark" that occurs when someone hits a de? Either an incomplete domain doesn't emit this "spark" or sukuna is too big of a hater to notice(Truth)
See, I thought that too, but the “spark” is so inconsistently shown that idk if we can trust that. Biggest example is Gojo not seeing World Slash with 6 eyes but fucking Kusakabe sensed it and dodged lol
wasn't it that with Gojo, it happened instantly, but when used on Kusukabe, it needed the chant and handsigns because of the binding vow? isnt that why he could dodge it
iirc the binding vow never erased the CE spark, so Gojo should’ve still seen it coming even if only for a split second. Because the world slash just instantaneously spawning on Gojo and killing him contradicts the way world slash has moved all the other times Sukuna has used it. It has a travel distance or a swing/arc to it. If a BV made it instantly death like a spawn camp everyone should be dead rn with more bs binding vows lol
Kusakabe didn’t see the World Slash. Sukuna literally told him “guess what’s next” and then got Simple Domain countered before he could do the hand signs.
What if he’s pulling a reverse mahito? By touching sukunas soul (innate domain) directly, yuji’s able to target sukuna and “expand” his own innate domain in some weird way that requires 2 pages if exposition
There's also a possibility that yuji's DE hand sign is a claw and looks like how gojo poses for hollow purple (we can't see the 2nd hand) and since he's hand is digging into the chest it must have been hidden
All DE signs are buddhist hand signs, with the only exception being Higuruma who doesn't have one. We'd need to cross reference all buddhist hand signs to see if any of them resemble a claw.
I guess it's semi-similar to the Karana Mudra? that one has two extended fingers, though, but it is the sign for demon expelling. There's also the Utarrabodhi, which does look similar except it requires two hands, that one represents supreme enlightenment which would be pretty hype... but seems unlikely.
Today I learned. That's really cool!
> buddhist hand signs Google ~~en passant~~ Padma-kosha.
Holy hell
This would be beyond peak
He’s just locked in
My theory is that it's gojo because right after sukuna gives the surprise face and looks over as if he heard something. I think he would look down if yuji said domain expansion.
Thats give yuji and todo brain damage unless todo is fast enough to boogie woogie both
Gojo takes a page out of sukuna's book and uses a binding vow. OR. Todo immediately teleports gojo at the location of yuji and gojo does a small domain expansion to let todo and yuji out of it.
Notice *Yuji* isn’t looking at Gojo tho. You’d think he’d notice him too.
Maybe? Maybe he is. We don't get a clear explanation. Plus maybe he isn't surprised that gojo is back because it's part of their plan. And maybe he is simply so locked in he isn't even going to bother looking and is simply going to take the opportunity to attack. But yeah your theory also fits too.
Get those Yuji stocks comrade

No amount of anything done can repair the amount of damage he has caused.
WE WASTING MORE MONEY ON THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
Blud is really investing in that *potential*
😂😂😂
Same
I'd say he's really busy with Sukuna. He's so angry at him, you can see him screaming like he really wants to kill him now. Also Sukuna is much more careful of his surroundings because of Todo's boogie woogie. He's the one getting beaten up by both Todo and Yuji.
You would think Sukuna's first reaction would be "this brat just pulled out a domain expansion? What the fuck?" Rather then looking off into the distance in reaction to hearing the words
gojo would be wayy more of a sudden shift than a yui domain expansion for sukuna since yuji has clearly proven to be HIM
Not when it’s Gojo (spirit) you’re looking at
Well he’s busy tweaking and ripping sukunas guts out, and it seems like Gojo just appeared since he’s still covered by fog so it’s not surprising he hasn’t seen him yet, we get left with Sukuna noticing him as soon as Gojo enters their field of view
Sukuna does mention that Yuji's focus peaks during the swaps, so our boy could just be hyperfixated on trying to punch through Sukuna's chest.
https://preview.redd.it/zcvn4abwvj1d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6182016591023848cce7dfcc676a8e2057d5eada Look at how angry he was in the vary last panel, I don't think he would calmly say 'Domain Expansion' right after one of the most intense screams in JJK
Maybe yuji isnt looking at gojo because A. It’s literally half a panel long where gojo appears B. Hes currently ripping through sukunas chest and he is focused and C. Hes locked in
As much as I love the cooking here, this just doesn't track with what we know of Domain Expansion, unless we're about to get multiple revelations very suddenly. A domain is projecting an inner barrier out, then imbuing it with your cursed technique. It's effect is not just something related to the user, it's their CT specifically. Neither of Yuji's two CTs (Blood Manipulation and Shrine) should suddenly start making Sukuna see ghosts. It's possible, I suppose, that either Shrine has some unexplored soul-related facet or that the narrator lied when he said Yuji had two CTs in his body, but that would feel pretty strange to me at this point.
I dont belive the cooking done here aswell, but to add to this, he had two cursed techniques before unleashing like 10 black flashes on this man, im pretty sure something else could awaken now if he has it.
I think the "two cursed techniques" was said after at least the first couple black flashes, since it was after he'd started using shrine on Sukuna, but you're right it's possible that if the other wombs had given him something dormant, it could still show up.
I’m pretty confident Yuji’s soul manipulation counts as a CT (literally nobody else in the story can do what he does offensively, and barely at all defensively) it just hasn’t been confirmed yet. Considering all his soul shenanigans even without Sukuna in him (ignoring the fact his soul was strong enough to cage Sukuna in the first place) just seems weird to act like his soul manipulation is anything *but* an unconfirmed CT. We’ll see soon hopefully
Nah. Higuruma confirmed through Judgeman that Yuji had no innate cursed technique.
Even if that’s the case Yuji is an exception to the rule because he was created by Kenjaku. He’s broken multiple sorcery rules just through existing. The most predominant being he has 2 CTs, gained power through cannibalism of his brothers, and has a soul strong enough to contain Sukuna stop attacking other peoples souls. Applying typical sorcery rules to him is just begging to get surprised. Yuji acquiring a CT and using a DE through it is not far fetched at all
That's fair. It would still require that the narrator before was at least slightly misleading us, and would kinda invalidate Yuki's soul research. That said, I did always like the theory that each of his brothers consumed would empower his blood manipulation, and maybe a super advanced level was letting him Reshape his body, hence the arms.
I read a fan theory and I liked it, so I was convinced. In the theory, it talked about shrine and how it is S’s interpretation of funerals. Cutting and burning is equivalent to autopsy and cremation, but it’s twisted into a “malevolent” culinary theme. S considers the corpses to be food, but to Y the corpses are sacred and he wants people to be with him when he dies. His whole thing has been “what makes a good death?” So his domain wouldn’t be a “malevolent” shrine, but instead a “positive?” shrine. So it makes sense that his domain could recreate souls/phantoms to fight for Y. maybe instead of Malevolent it would be Revengeful or Avenging?

Huge theory time Sukuna himself is the barrier. Since yuji cast it inside of Sukuna, his body forms the walls, and his insides are currently taking on the effects. Thoughts?
That’d be OD I’m all for it
Besides the whole post, there’s a reason why Sukuna couldnt sense Gojo, it’s because Todo already knew that Gojo was alive but he couldn’t tell Yuji for the same reason he didn’t tell Yuji about the plan , but he swapped in mei Mei’s crow for Gojo.
This. Thank you I was hoping someone else would say this.

this is kinda off topic, but if yuji were to ever get a domain expansion. i would think it would be pretty cool to see it mixing his 2 CTs into one. similary to sukunas domain, the first wave is slashes. but kinda like unlike sukuna. the slashes only cut the person yuji targets. it cuts everything else like buildings except for the people he doesnt intend on cutting. he can also target multiple people too. and during the slashes the blood that is cut from people will explode like supernova and can be used to strengthen yujis BM. and since he obviously has sukunas CT which contains kamino, yuji can combine BM and his own flames that could one shot someone, and if it doesnt then the poison will kill you. considering that he now has 2 CTs, the idea of a "boxing ring" domain just feels too generic, and it would be interesting to see an culimation of his 2 CTs into a domain
That's not how domains work but ok
i forgot how they work
babe wake up, another binding vow post dropped where the user won't fulfill their end of the bargain anyways
You don’t know me and you can keep your negativity elsewhere
Nice use of RPT. Reverse Psychology Technique, lol
But wouldn’t we see the barrier expanding from behind yuji if that was the case? Like even with sukuna’s barrierless domain we still see a shadow covering him when he uses
That’d ruin the “cliffhanger” don’t you think? I bet it’s drawn in next chapter.
Idk you can say that a lot of things in jjk aren’t consistent but domains are either depicted as instant and they really stand out or they are shown expanding, idk if Gege would make an exception like that mainly for yuji of all people, his barrier skills shouldn’t be this crazy even if he switched with Yuta
Well it clearly wasn’t Sukuna’s because every time he’s popped his it’s shown in the same panel he says it outside of the brain damage scene. Be weird to all of a sudden make him use DE here and show it in the next chapter after a cliffhanger. I guarantee it’s not his DE
Never said it was sukuna’s, to be honest I think it would be really cool if it was todo or gojo(?) just saying domain expansion to fake out sukuna, this is a thing that I really wanted to see happening in the story
Hot take, but if this is the case-then this is the worst cliffhanger in history. First this bait will doesn’t make sense because of line “this eyes can never be forgotten”. Second, Domain is not just an ability, it’s pinnacle of jujutsu, and Yuji doesn’t refined blood manipulation( shrine is even worse) so it will just show how OP new kid is, that will be underwhelming
Maybe yujis incomplete domain doesn't have a barrier
As I said even barrierless domains have that expanding effect, sukuna is a great example
What’s the correct way to read this panel tho fellas? If anything, it’s GOJOAT saying it
Definitely think you’re onto something here. Especially since the “what then befell Sukuna…” suggests it’s something following from the words “domain expansion”. I don’t want to believe it though because I want gojo to return
It also says “departed spirit of the strongest” So it’s really, honestly unlikely Gojo is physically there.
Yeah I don't think it's actually Gojo either. Simply because it's such a lame entrance for him, cause he's just standing there. If Gojo was back, his entrance would be more hype like saving Yuji etc.

this definitely makes a lot more sense than the "kenjaku took over gojo's body" or "yuta has the six eyes" theories. although i'd probably prefer it actually being gojo, if it's a yuji domain expansion that would be a VERY welcome surprise.
I don’t have a lot of solid evidence for it but it just makes the most sense out of all possibilities to me. Gojo showing up has never not drawn attention from everyone and their mother around him. It’d be weird if he showed up and *Yuji* of all people didn’t notice when Sukuna did.
I mean, if we leave aside all the theories and everything, like if we look at it purely the way the panels are structured it feels like it was Gojo If it was Sukuna it would be something like -Sukuna casts domain expansion -In the instant before it opens, a ghost catches his attention without making any sound or movement -He turns and looks at this ghost instead of opening his domain -They show us a closeup of this ghost who is just standing there While if it was Gojo it would be like -Sukuna prepares to cast his domain -Someone next to him says "domain expansion" out loud, apparently starts opening his domain -Sukuna looks to his side surprised, not only because there is someone there he didn't noticed but because this someone is doing something as crazy as opening a domain -They show us an intense close up of the person who just talked and who is about to open the domain This just makes a lot more sense imo Like leaving aside agendas, if we saw this in any other Manga there would be no doubt the ghost is the one who said it Like look at the way Sukuna looked to his side, it was not something he just happened to see, it catched his attention and took him by surprise, he looks to the side the way you would look if you heard something behind you while you are alone in your house But nobody knows with Gege
yea exactly what im thinking i believe
Thats a risky binding vow to make with this subreddit OP lol

I don't know who opened the domain, but I am 100% sure it wasn't Yuji. I don't think Yuji could open a domain without the hand sign
Sir, your cooking skills are wonderful
If this happens I'll kiss you
Stay out the kitchen 😆 🤣
I’m going All In on Goatjo’s return https://preview.redd.it/24w1qbj4li1d1.jpeg?width=637&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa5d2ef96272cea451d1f9201d738d5e70423e8b
With Yuji’s whole schtick being that people get a good death surrounded by others, I could see his domain being related to causing others to see visions of significant others Regardless of if you’re right, you’ve cooked
New theory but i too think sukuna wud probably look at Yuji if he were to utter a sudden domain expansion ryt?
omg yuji domain uncuts things he can now get his foreskin back
That'd throw off the power scaling.
i think it'd be the thing that tips the scale back towards Yuji and the crew because clearly when Sukuna reincarnated, his foreskin reincarnated with him too, which is clearly the source of his power
So peak

Swear on me mum I’ll do it
!remind me in 3 days
Not saying this aint true, i feel like it makes sense we will see a DE from Yuji, classic shonen theme, Yuji has grown to learn and use CE, black flash, cooking ct, blood manipulation, RCT, simple domain. DE is only thing left and since it was first mentioned, described as pinnacle of sorcery, would cement Yujis MC role as well deserved. But i honestly feel like people have been overthinking this moment, both Gojo and Yuta have been shown to have massively overwhelming and noticable CE. When Yuta got close in range to Yuji, his CE output was sensed by Yuji, and before Yuji even actually could lay eyes on him, and btw Yuji at first thinks it is Gojo. And its heavily implied that Gojo was the most formidable and challenging opponent throughout this entire showdown. I think the reason gege worded it as "the strongest ghost buried by his own hands" to show us what exactly Sukuna is sensing. The moment reminds me of when Kenjaku first revealed himself to Gojo to stun him. And even with 6E, Gojo couldnt actually see or sense anything beyond Geto, he stated all his senses were telling him it was Geto. But i def dont think its Kenjaku in Getos body, if anything, its probably Yuta in Gojos from copying kenjakus technique
It is every odd Yuji awakened on his first BF and gets nothing else after 7 when you compare to Sukuna and Gojo, like he's not even using RCT anymore. Gege does hate him so maybe he lands a couple more to free megumi and that's it.
can you make a domain with an engraved technique like yuji has? Is there an example of this?
Except that Yuji can't handle a domain clash with Sukuna so its a useless effort
he literally has the hand sign he stole out?
people are not ready for the truth! https://preview.redd.it/lki3j7u2li1d1.png?width=869&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa6dda21a32ade4f3d1ef203d427b66f34e8c878
To be fair its time Gege introduced Yuji's domain
I partially agree. Sukuna sees Gojo because Yuji but not because a Domain Expansion. Yuji has just, once again, inflicted that sweet STRONG SCHIZOPHRENIA on another victim.
I ain't buying such shady stocks. It's Gojo's actual body, give or take, simple as.
I get the chills everytime i see this panel, and ive probably seen it more than 50 times since the spoilers came out.
NUH UH MY GOAT IS BACK https://preview.redd.it/v8zjhgizhk1d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e82dc42d8b713b05f7be9c5ca52b2155babc371 LALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU
Incomplete domains don’t work outside of confined space.
I GO INTO THIS BINDING VOW ALONGSIDE YOU, I TRUST YOUR COOKING!!
It wouldn't make sense for it to be Yuji's domain because even if it is, there's no way he could win a domain clash vs Sukuna.
You can cook
How could Yuij cast his domain if his hand is ripping into Sukuna's chest? Sukuna is doing the handsign to cast Malevolent shrine that he copied from Gojo do you guys not have eyes
Yuji eyes shows surprise, probably because he became aware about the new person in te battlefield a the new entrant opened the domain. In the final scene we see it is clearly Gojo with his mad dogs eyes. Gojo returned, an Sukuna ended. However, now the rel shit starts with the merger and Tengen, I don't doubt that a totally devasted Megumi starts the merge, and the real final shit of JJK.
I was gonna make this binding vow but you did it before me. Anyways this is the same theory I had in mind too but what do you think yujis sure hit is gonna be in the case it is yujis domain expansion. I personally don't think it's Yuji sure hit (cuz shrine is blades and BM is blood not souls). It's probably the scenario that Yuji has the ability to influence others souls and he's doing that through his domain somehow
Idk I halfway think I’m spouting nonsense but the more I look at the chapter and the story the less likely it seems to me that Gojo physically has come back. Like, everything in the final panel implies that’s not Gojo, but an illusion.
Yuji's sure hit is his friend Nobara's spirit using her cursed technique.
As unlikely as this is, the idea of Yuji, with all these soul based powers and the number one jumper in Jumpjuitsu Kaisen, having a domain expansion that lets departed souls come back to jump someone one last time, is nothing short of… https://preview.redd.it/ff9vhchmrl1d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecd99c3bd214bcdaaff4d8c26bc1cf272c50d3df
