Jujutsu Kaisen is rapidly reaching its conclusion in the manga. The final battle between Sukuna and Satoru Gojo has been a long time coming, with the future of the world pretty much at risk. While that is going on, author Gege Akutami needs to tie several plot threads that are hanging at the moment, including Utahime.
One of the teachers and top sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen, Utahime, has been a bit mysterious since her debut because she had never used her Cursed Technique, which has been officially revealed in chapter 223 of the manga. And the reactions online didn’t take long to show up.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Utahime’s Cursed Technique allows her to amplify the output of cursed energy of any sorcerer within her range
Utahime is a character that fans have always loved, but the fact that she has rarely had the opportunity to showcase what she’s made of has been a point of contention for the readers towards author Gege Akutami. However, that seems to be in the past now that she has shown her Cursed Technique to the world.
Known as “Solo Forbidden Zone,” this technique, based on what has been shown in chapter 223 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, allows Utahime to amplify the output of the cursed energy of any sorcerer within her range. This is very important to point out as she is powering up Satoru Gojo during his battle with Sukuna, which could make a monumental difference in this confrontation.

While very little is known about this ability at the moment, it definitely created a lot of hype online, with several Utahime fans eager to see what one of their favorite characters in the series can do in such a decisive moment.
Akutami has used her rather scarcely during the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, so having her play a more significant role in such a pivotal moment is interesting, to say the least.
Another interesting point about this ability, at least on paper, is that it can boost the powers of a lot of other sorcerers, not only Gojo or Utahime herself, which can play a significant role in the development of the battle if put into thought.
Characters like Yuta and even Yuji Itadori can benefit greatly from this, adding to the many unique ways that Jujutsu Kaisen has managed to use the concept of Cursed Techniques.
A sorcerer strictly focusing on supporting others can be a very valuable asset in this type of confrontation. While it is very likely that her Cursed Technique is not going to be decisive when it comes to defeating Kenjaku and Sukuna, it can be very useful in the early stages of the conflict, especially to bridge the gap between many of the protagonists with these two enemies.

Also, it is very interesting to see what the full extent of Utahime’s abilities is and what other skills she has in store for this particular conflict. She has rarely had the opportunity to have the spotlight, which says a lot about Akutami’s writing style and storytelling in Jujutsu Kaisen.
Plus, it is also a very nice moment for longtime fans of the character, who have been eager to see her in action. It was one of the most fascinating moments of chapter 223 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga and one that had been a long time coming.

Final thoughts
Jujutsu Kaisen is very likely to end this year, but the series wants to go on a high and Gege Akutami seems to be doing just that with his greatest hit. The revelation of Utahime’s Cursed Technique only added more hype to what was already a highly anticipated moment, so this battle seems to have started on the right foot.
The battle of Gojo vs Sukuna will be one of the most critical moments in the story. With Utahime cranking the damage of Gojo’s destructive Hollow: Purple, this first hit might prove fruitful against the King of Curses. Whether Gojo wins or loses, his fight will indeed give leeway for other sorcerers to win against Sukuna and ultimately Kenjaku.
