Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 178 turned out to be a rollercoaster ride as it saw the beginning of a high-stakes battle between Okkotsu Yuta, Takako Uro and Ishigori Ryu.However, what fans were most excited about was Rika's return to action. Manga readers have been eager to see Yuta using his cursed technique since it was obvious that he was more than just adept at the Reverse Cursed Technique.DjuK@DjuK___Give me everything.Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 177#JujutsuKaisen #呪術廻戦 #JJK01:39 AM · Mar 9, 202219545Give me everything.Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 177#JujutsuKaisen #呪術廻戦 #JJK https://t.co/Wng0QeGnP0Spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen manga ahead.Everything we know about Okkotsu Yuta’s cursed technique from Jujutsu KaisenWhat we knew from Jujutsu Kaisen volume 0 and the Shibuya arcJō@sentibeniThe Yuta vs. Geto fight was intense, the scan translations added a lot of aggression to the battle lmaooo03:02 AM · Jun 18, 202012The Yuta vs. Geto fight was intense, the scan translations added a lot of aggression to the battle lmaooo https://t.co/rQ392oXR6vThe prologue manga, which starred Yuta as the protagonist, first introduced Orimoto Rika’s vengeful spirit. His control over Rika and her immense cursed energy seemed to be directly linked to his own emotions. This became evident when his fury at Geto caused an explosive increase in his own cursed energy and abilities. This same emotional outburst removed the limiters on Rika’s cursed energy.Malik@LuhEasyThat chapter was really amazing. Yuta fully mastering manipulating his own cursed energy into his katana really shows his growth. He used to do it with Rika’s curse/cursed energy, but now does it with his own. Rika being with him in some capacity is also still a possibility04:16 AM · Mar 1, 202124638That chapter was really amazing.

Rika being with him in some capacity is also still a possibility https://t.co/MoZO7eYPM7The reason for this connection became clear when Yuta admitted to Gojo that he was the one who had unintentionally cursed Rika and turned her into a vengeful spirit. This is related to the revelation that he is a descendant of Sugawara Michizane and a distant relative of the Gojo clan. His heritage is what caused him to inadvertently bind Rika's soul to him.okkotsu kaisen 🩹@konbinarizakeki am on the EDGE OF MY SEATyuji vs yuta starts now Ch. 140 | Jujutsu Kaisen06:44 AM · Mar 1, 20215i am on the EDGE OF MY SEATyuji vs yuta starts now 😳Ch. 140 | Jujutsu Kaisen https://t.co/YMhpQgN1IVYuta, who was seen once again towards the end of the Shibuya Incident arc, turned out to be an exceptionally powerful opponent, even putting Zenin Naoya and Choso on edge. Yuta used Rika to pursue and capture Yuuji before using Reverse Cursed Technique to revive him after his “execution.” However, he did not use his cursed technique.okkotsu kaisen 🩹@konbinarizakekthe fact that yuuji vs yuta's fighting sequence is only 2 chapters and ain't even like a dedicated entire chapter is over so soon, once yuta stabs him 🗡🫀— that Tch!

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 178 explained that this “Rika” is not the vengeful spirit Rika Orimoto. Instead, it is Yuta’s cursed technique Rika, which he can activate using the engagement ring Rika gave him.Ryōmen D. Sukuna ~ Shadz@ShadzMangaOnlyLiterally is there anything this man can't do. Living up to the Special Grade designation & beyond I'd argue. #JJK178 #ShadzJK #JujutsuKaisen1788:43 PM · Mar 18, 2022757Literally is there anything this man can't do. Living up to the Special Grade designation & beyond I'd argue. 🔥#JJK178 #ShadzJK #JujutsuKaisen178 https://t.co/dP0FMyZQW0This also explains why this new Rika looked different from the original special-grade vengeful spirit we saw in Jujutsu Kaisen 0. This new manifestation of Rika was also able to store a large number of weapons for Yuta and act as a reservoir of cursed energy.FingersCrossed@FingersCro55edJujutsu Kaisen 178...Idk if this is just speculation from Uro or if Yuuta really got an inherent cursed technique after all 🤔 And can he use his Mimicry all the time or just when he's in "Full Rika Mode"?#JujutsuKaisen #JJK6:05 PM · Mar 17, 20221286Jujutsu Kaisen 178...Idk if this is just speculation from Uro or if Yuuta really got an inherent cursed technique after all 🤔 And can he use his Mimicry all the time or just when he's in "Full Rika Mode"?#JujutsuKaisen #JJK https://t.co/za7syfnt1xThe chapter also finally introduced Yuta’s cursed technique, “Mimicry” or “Copy,” which allowed him to mimic other sorcerers’ cursed techniques. Yuta was able to use the Inumaki clan’s Cursed Speech using a cursed tool without suffering any backlash.In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 178, he took it a step further and used the technique directly by copying Toge. This caused the seals for Cursed Speech to appear on his mouth and tongue. This direct use also came without any backlash, probably due to his immense levels of curse energy. Yuta was also able to imbue Rika into a metal arm and create Shikigami that looked like mini-Rikas.FingersCrossed@FingersCro55edJujutsu Kaisen 178...This chapter gave us so much I need to process Finally an explanation what the new "Rika" is! She basically serves as a storage for cursed techniques and cursed energy and acts as an independent Shikigami as well, jesus christ #JujutsuKaisen #JJK6:00 PM · Mar 17, 202272689Jujutsu Kaisen 178...This chapter gave us so much I need to process 😱Finally an explanation what the new "Rika" is!

He used Cursed Speech and then Dhruv Lakdawala’s cursed technique against Takako while maintaining a fully manifested Rika, who was fighting Ishigori. The chapter also revealed that Yuta could currently maintain the link for Rika’s full manifestation for just five minutes. It is still unknown if such a time limit applies to every technique Yuta copies, but it is possible that the duration will depend on how powerful the copied technique is.It is already evident that Yuta is able to store already copied cursed techniques and activate them at will at a later time.FingersCrossed@FingersCro55edJujutsu Kaisen 178...I've got so many questions about Yuuta's powers What are the conditions for him to be able to copy a technique? He interacted with Dhruv for a few minutes max, now he can use his ability at will?! Could he copy Gojou???#JujutsuKaisen #JJK6:09 PM · Mar 17, 202220213Jujutsu Kaisen 178...I've got so many questions about Yuuta's powers 😱 What are the conditions for him to be able to copy a technique?

He mused that her ability to manipulate space must involve some secret trick, so understanding the fundamentals of the cursed technique might be necessary for him to copy it.Justice 💥@Justixplode#呪術廻戦 #JJK #JJKSpoilers #jjk178 #Yuta Triple Domain Expansion!! - JJK 178 Coloring02:13 AM · Mar 20, 202242981#呪術廻戦 #JJK #JJKSpoilers #jjk178 #Yuta Triple Domain Expansion!! - JJK 178 Coloring https://t.co/B9i9YLuF1XWhat remains to be seen is the result of Yuta's use of Domain Expansion. Domains usually reflect the essence of a sorcerer’s innate cursed technique. Yuta’s tendency to copy other techniques opens up many possibilities. His domain may copy the cursed technique of anyone trapped in the space and then model itself after the copied ability. Another possibility is that his domain will be based on Rika. However, nothing can be confirmed for sure until Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 179 is released.
