Transform into Yuji Itadori: Your Ultimate Costume Guide

The main protagonist of the anime and manga series Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji Itadori is a first-year Jujutsu Sorcerer at Tokyo Jujutsu High who is thrust into the world of sorcery by consuming a Cursed Object: a finger belonging to Ryomen Sukuna, a powerful Cursed Spirit—a being produced from Cursed Energy derived from the bad emotions of humanity.

After his grandfather’s death, he promises to help others so that he might die “surrounded by loved ones” and makes it a point to ensure that those around him have what he calls a “proper death”.

Throughout the series, Yuji and his amazing cursing techniques improve as he battles various Curses and the emotional consequences of his deeds. Despite only having practiced using Cursed Energy for a few months, Yuji is extremely powerful, even without being Sukuna’s Vessel. Yuji firmly believes in the worth of life and works hard to ensure that everyone he meets, no matter how close he is to them, is treated properly.

Embodying Yuji Itadori: Acting Tips and Personality Traits

Being one of Jujutsu High’s most talented and powerful students, Yuji possesses various powerful abilities.

Poison Resistance: Yuji is poison-resistant because he is Sukuna’s host. Yuji will feel the discomfort of the poison, but he will be mostly unharmed.
Weapon Mastery: Yuji was not trained to handle weapons; yet, because of his physical strength and talent, he can quickly become proficient with them.
Immense Strength: Yuji is incredibly powerful even without using cursed energy; he can easily smash walls, hurl a lead ball with enough force to bend a soccer goalpost, and even throw a car.

Yuji is a fair person who genuinely cares about not only his colleagues, but everybody he sees as having their own wills, no matter how deep or slender his connection to them is. He deeply values “the value of life,” and will ensure that others have a “proper death”. Yuji is also quite enthusiastic when he is focused on accomplishing specific goals and fairly stubborn when challenged with them. Yuji’s desire to sacrifice himself for others is one of his distinguishing characteristics, prompted by his grandfather’s last words to him to die surrounded by others.

Creating the Perfect Yuji Itadori Costume: A Step-by-Step Guide

Kind and Selfless: Just like Yuji would always be ready to help those around him and does not think twice before throwing himself in danger to protect others, make sure you offer help to those in need. Be empathetic, and kind, and always try to spread smiles.

Bravery: Portray courage in whatever you do, no matter how big or small. If faced with a difficult task, handle it with bravery and courage.

“In the grand scheme of things… I’m probably nothing more than a cog. But I’ll keep killing curses… for as long as I can. That’s my role in all this.”

“大局的に見れば…私はおそらく歯車に過ぎません。でも、私は呪いを殺し続けます…できるかぎり。それがこのすべてにおける私の役割です。”
