5 Shocking Reasons Why Ryomen Sukuna Truly Hates Yuji Itadori (Latest Manga Secrets Revealed)
The dynamic between Ryomen Sukuna and Yuji Itadori is arguably the most complex and central conflict in Jujutsu Kaisen. As of December 2025, the latest developments in the manga have provided definitive, shocking answers to the question: why does the King of Curses despise his vessel so profoundly? The hatred runs far deeper than mere inconvenience; it is an existential and ideological war that challenges the very foundation of Sukuna's millennia-old worldview.
For a long time, fans assumed Sukuna's disdain was simply the frustration of a trapped entity. However, recent chapters have peeled back the layers, revealing a deep-seated philosophical clash and a secret connection orchestrated by the ancient sorcerer Kenjaku. This article breaks down the five core, interconnected reasons why Sukuna views Yuji not just as an obstacle, but as a genuine antithesis to his entire existence.
The Ideological War: Why Yuji’s Resolve Is “Boring”
The most compelling and recently emphasized reason for Sukuna’s hatred is Yuji’s unwavering moral compass and selfless resolve. In Sukuna’s eyes, Yuji is an anomaly that should not exist.
1. Yuji's Selflessness Invalidates Sukuna's Worldview
Ryomen Sukuna is the embodiment of pure, selfish power. His philosophy is simple: live for oneself, indulge in pleasure, and destroy anything that gets in the way. He views the weak, and especially those who sacrifice themselves for others, with utter contempt.
Yuji Itadori, on the other hand, is driven by his late grandfather’s final words: "Help people." Yuji's strength is fueled by his desire to save others and his willingness to endure suffering to do so. This innate, powerful selflessness is a direct challenge to Sukuna's entire existence as the King of Curses.
Sukuna finds this ideology "boring" because it suggests that true strength can coexist with altruism. If Yuji can be an incredibly powerful vessel *and* maintain his kind heart, it proves Sukuna's belief that strength must be selfish is fundamentally flawed.
2. The Unbreakable Will: Victory in the Battle of Wills
Early in the series, Yuji demonstrated an unprecedented ability to suppress Sukuna's consciousness. Unlike previous vessels or hosts, Yuji maintained almost complete control, effectively keeping the most powerful Curse in history locked away.
This was a profound humiliation. Sukuna, a being who expects absolute dominance, was "annihilated" in a simple battle of wills against a high school student. The bitterness and resentment from being overpowered mentally by someone he considers weak and inferior is a constant source of his intense malice toward Yuji.
The Existential Link: Kenjaku’s True Intent and Yuji’s Birth
The hatred takes a much darker, more personal turn with the revelation of Yuji’s origins. This is the freshest and most crucial information from the ongoing manga narrative.
3. Yuji Was a Custom-Made, Perfect Vessel
Yuji Itadori was not an accidental vessel. He was deliberately created by the ancient sorcerer Kenjaku (currently possessing Suguru Geto’s body) as part of a grand, sinister plan to optimize the evolution of cursed energy in Japan.
Kenjaku engineered Yuji to be a "perfect vessel" capable of not only consuming Sukuna’s Cursed Object fingers without dying but, crucially, retaining his own body and soul integrity. This unique existence, which allowed Sukuna to be fully reincarnated, ties Yuji directly to the King of Curses' liberation and the ensuing chaos of the Culling Game. Sukuna despises being a pawn in Kenjaku's scheme, and Yuji, as the mechanism of that scheme, becomes the target of his wrath.
The Secret Family Connection: A Hidden Kinship
The most recent and mind-blowing revelation provides a biological and spiritual connection that makes Sukuna's hatred feel like a twisted form of self-loathing.
4. The Brotherly Bond and Shared Lineage
Manga chapter 257 revealed a massive secret connection between Yuji and Sukuna. It was disclosed that Yuji Itadori is the younger twin brother of the mysterious figure, the "Fallen One." This Fallen One is heavily implied to be Sukuna's original twin brother, whose remains were consumed by Kenjaku. This means Yuji, through Kenjaku's experimentation, shares the same bloodline and a deep, intrinsic link to Sukuna.
This revelation transforms the dynamic. Sukuna is not just fighting a random host; he is fighting a distant relative, a person whose existence is genetically and spiritually tied to his own dark history. This forced kinship likely fuels his desire to erase Yuji completely, as Yuji represents a past or connection Sukuna wishes to be rid of.
5. Yuji's Potential to Become a True Adversary
While Sukuna often dismisses Yuji’s power, deep down he recognizes Yuji's unique potential. Yuji’s body, enhanced by Kenjaku and the consumption of the Cursed Fingers, possesses immense physical strength and a unique resistance to Cursed Energy.
Sukuna respects strength, as seen in his regard for Satoru Gojo and even Jogo. However, Yuji’s strength is coupled with an ideology that Sukuna actively seeks to destroy. If Yuji fully awakens his own unique cursed technique and combines it with his unbreakable spirit, he becomes the one person capable of not only challenging Sukuna's power but also dismantling his entire philosophy. Sukuna sees a potential adversary who could truly give him a challenge, and he seeks to crush that potential before it fully blossoms.
The Final Verdict on Sukuna’s Malice
The hatred Ryomen Sukuna harbors for Yuji Itadori is a multifaceted obsession rooted in three major pillars: ideological opposition, the humiliation of being contained, and a deep, recently exposed existential link. Yuji is the living, breathing contradiction to everything Sukuna stands for—a kind soul in a superhuman body, created by a manipulator to house the King of Curses himself.
As the final battles unfold, Yuji’s journey is no longer just about defeating a monster; it is about proving that his grandfather's values and his own selfless resolve are stronger than the millennia of selfish malice embodied by Ryomen Sukuna. The King of Curses hates Yuji because Yuji, simply by existing and refusing to break, proves that Sukuna's reign of terror and philosophy of pure self-interest are ultimately meaningless.
