Yuji Itadori's Death (First Update)
Yuji Itadori, 15 years old, was originally just an ordinary student at Sugisawa Third High School in Miyagi Prefecture. His parents had passed away, and his only relative, his grandfather, had also recently passed away.
Of course, he's not exactly ordinary; at least his physical abilities far surpass those of a normal human.
Kind and brave by nature, she possesses exceptional empathy and high emotional intelligence. Optimistic and cheerful, she deeply values life and believes that life should end in a reasonable way, not by accident.
Because of a senior member of the school club "Occult Research Club" who found a finger of the curse king "Ryomen Sukuna", he unexpectedly encountered cursed spirits and Sorcerers that ordinary people would not encounter.
In order to save his senior and the Sorcerers who was about the same age as him, he swallowed Ryomen Sukuna's finger, gained Cursed Energy, and killed those sorcerer spirits, but he was also possessed by Ryomen Sukuna.
Fortunately, his body was different from ordinary people, and he was able to forcefully suppress the Ryomen Sukuna from controlling his body.
As a result, he was sentenced to death by the high-ranking Sorcerers.
Ryomen Sukuna was a cursed king from a thousand years ago. He was cruel, ruthless, and had a penchant for killing, especially women and children.
He considers himself the only one worthy of respect in the world.
After being killed a thousand years ago, its twenty fingers were transformed into a top-grade cursed object and sealed. Once the seal is broken, if it is devoured by a cursed spirit, the cursed spirit will directly evolve into a terrifying Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
If it is devoured by humans, the King of Curses may be resurrected by obtaining a physical body.
However, these twenty fingers, imbued with the essence of the Ryomen Sukuna's Cursed Energy, were utterly indestructible.
Therefore, when the higher-ups of the Sorcerers learned that Yuji Itadori could retain his consciousness after consuming Ryomen Sukuna's fingers, they decided to execute him so that Ryomen Sukuna's fingers would be destroyed.
However, in the end, Yuji Itadori Satoru Gojo not executed because Gojo Satoru, the teacher of the Sorcerers who initially saved him and who also claimed to be the strongest Sorcerers, protected him.
Satoru Gojo persuaded the higher-ups by arguing that since Yuji Itadori could remain rational after eating Ryomen Sukuna's fingers, why not collect all of Sukuna's fingers and have Yuji Itadori swallow them, thus killing Ryomen Sukuna completely?
After witnessing the cruelty of the cursed spirits, Yuji Itadori agreed to sacrifice his own life to end Ryomen Sukuna so that it would not harm people.
However, as an observer of the memories, Hawking felt that the teacher named Satoru Gojo did not really intend to use Yuji Itadori's body to end Ryomen Sukuna.
Because if that were really the case, Yuji Itadori should be imprisoned in one place, and then a Sorcerers should search everywhere for Ryomen Sukuna's fingers for Yuji Itadori to swallow one by one, and then Yuji Itadori should be killed directly.
However, Satoru Gojo took Yuji Itadori to Tokyo, where he transferred to the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School to study Jujutsu Kaisen and became his student.
It's obvious they're trying to fool the higher-ups, intending to train Yuji Itadori into a powerful Sorcerers.
However, although those higher-ups were wary of Satoru Gojo, they did not want to do as he wished.
While Satoru Gojo was away on a business trip to eliminate cursed spirits, Yuji Itadori and two classmates—one being the Sorcerers Megumi Fushiguro who had saved him, and the other being the outgoing girl Nobara Kugisaki from the countryside—were sent on a mission.
The target of the mission turned out to be a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
Just kidding, this is like sending three elementary school students to fight against fully armed top-notch international mercenaries, it's practically suicide.
Hawking did not believe it was an accident; he believed it was definitely intentional.
In order to save his two companions, Yuji Itadori released Ryomen Sukuna. After Ryomen Sukuna instantly killed the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, took out the finger from its body and swallowed it, it directly pulled out Yuji Itadori's heart.
Whether or not he has a heart is irrelevant to Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses. However, if Yuji Itadori, as a human, were to take back control of his body, it would be tantamount to suicide.
However, in order to prevent Ryomen Sukuna from destroying the world, Yuji Itadori chose to reclaim control and end his own life.
This is why Hawking said that the Protagonist Template died as soon as it appeared after he reviewed the memories.
"Cursed Energy, a new power system."
Jujutsu Kaisen, a new system of magic.
For Hawking, Yuji Itadori's extraordinary physique was of little use, and he didn't take the Cursed Energy within him, including that so-called King of Curses, seriously.
This new Protagonist Template, this new world—he's only interested in this new power system and magic system.
Because these new things, after being studied, can all be incorporated into his own system, allowing him to better understand and apply the rules, thus increasing his potential.
The Marvel World has a very high ceiling: it can be classified as a Celestial, a single-universe, Multiverse Level, a super-universe, or Omniverse Level.
If you only develop within the Marvel Universe power system, it's impossible to reach the Omniverse Level. Reaching the level of a single universe would take countless years.
Fortunately, he has his own advantages. He can load the Protagonist Template and even enter different worlds to comprehend the power systems of different worlds.
Even if some worlds don't have high limits, they are still manifestations of the laws of power in a world. As long as one can fully master them and integrate all the powers, one will eventually be able to surpass the power system of Marvel Universe.
Therefore, even though this world of Jujutsu Kaisen seems somewhat insignificant to him, he still decided to go in and take a look, and master all the spells he could.
To say it's insignificant isn't entirely true; at least he was somewhat interested in the Domain Expansion that Ryomen Sukuna used to kill the Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
In this world, both top-tier Sorcerers and Special Grade Cursed Spirit seem to possess a power called a domain.
According to Megumi Fushiguro's explanation, within one's own Innate Domain, one's strength will be greatly enhanced, and the technique of casting the domain will always hit.
There are only three ways to deal with a domain: counter with spells, escape from the domain, or suppress the opponent's domain with your own.
If he could combine his domain with his own Cosmo and the spaces created by the Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, it might be quite promising.
"Let's meet this Ryomen Sukuna first."
Touching his chin, Hawking closed his eyes and entered his mental space.
Since he loaded Yuji Itadori's template, he naturally also transferred Ryomen Sukuna already possessed the power of three fingers within Yuji Itadori's body.
Just like when he loaded the Naruto template, the Nine-Tails would be transferred; when he loaded the Harry Potter template, Voldemort's soul fragments would be transferred; and when he loaded the Natsu template, he would be accompanied by the Fire Dragon King.
Thinking about this, Hawking couldn't help but sigh, wondering how there could always be something else inside the protagonists of these different worlds.
