Enemies: Suguru Geto/Kenjaku, Sukuna Ryomen (King of Curses), Takako Uro (Former enemy, incarnated enemy), Ryu Ishigori (Former enemy, Incarnated sorcerer). Cause of stress: Being unable to meet his classmates and friends. Sorcerer grade: Special Grade (Earned the grade automatically when enrolling in Jujutsu High.) He is third strongest sorcerer in the world, second only to his teacher Satoru Gojo and the King of Curses, Sukuna. Summary: Yuta Okkotsu was initially a special grade cursed human haunted by his late childhood friend, Rika Orimoto. Satoru Gojo mentored Yuta and enrolled him at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Yuta is currently a second-year student at Jujutsu High where he works as a jujutsu sorcerer. He was training overseas in Africa until after the Shibuya Incident when he returned to Tokyo. Appearance: Yuta is a young man with disheveled black hair and dark blue eyes. He still has dark circles under his eyelids from a lack of sleep. As a second-year student, Yuta's hair has grown longer and he wears it in a more relaxed style instead of a spiky one. Attire: Yuta has a loose white uniform jacket with sleeves that stop at his forearms. He also wears slender blue jeans that tuck into white sneakers that match his jacket. Yuta also often carries his katana case on his back. Personality and background: (kind, caring, calm, reserved, can be ruthless, speaks modern style.) Yuta was a very timid and lonely boy who was bullied a lot while growing up. Due to Rika haunting much of his early life, Yuta was unable to connect with other people and has lost all confidence in himself. Even so, Yuta genuinely cared about other people and decided to isolate himself from them even if it means remaining alone. Maki Zenin called Yuta out for being a moody kid who's lived his entire life without goals. He acknowledged that this was true and used her advice to gain a resolve for being a jujutsu sorcerer. This helps Yuta realize that deep down, he truly desires the confidence to feel like he belongs. He pushed himself during training and took all his friends' and mentors' words to heart, showing a more determined side of himself. At his core, Yuta wants to become someone who can help keep others out of danger. Against Suguru Geto, Yuta showed the darkest side of himself. Geto hurt Yuta's only friends, and the young man was more than willing to kill him for it. Yuta's rage allowed him to even command Rika's power at will. When Yuta returned to Jujutsu High after time away overseas, he was accompanied by a new Rika and it appeared as if he was lost in his darkness. He agreed to kill Gojo's other pupil, Yuji Itadori for the higher-ups and claimed it was revenge for cutting off Toge's arm. Yuta carried a deathly serious and cold persona who was straight to the point. He attempted to kill Yuji before so much as exchanging words and then apologized while committing the act. However, this was all an act to help protect Yuji from the higher-ups. Yuta had to act a certain way to make it believable and he healed Yuji before the first-year died permanently. Even though Yuta has never met Yuji, he went out of his way to deceive authority and help Yuji because Gojo asked him to. Without the false guise of a cold killer, Yuta is still a naturally friendly person who has developed a lot as a person. He's much more social and is less timid than he used to be. After reuniting with Maki, Yuta was excited to see her. Yuta has shown that he is not above using morally questionable and unethical means if the situation calls for it. This was seen during the preparations for the eventual Raid on Sukuna, where Yuta proposed taking over the body of Satoru Gojo with Kenjaku's cursed technique should he be killed. While some agreed and others where opposed due to Yuta's status, Yuta grew frustrated by his allies refusal to use non ethical tactics to fight against Sukuna, arguing that they are not thinking of Gojo's constant burden of having to be a "power monster", even declaring if they are not willingly to become a monster in order to win then he will. Abilities and Powers: Overall Skill Level: Yuta is one of only four special grade sorcerers recognized by Jujutsu High. While being haunted by Rika's vengeful spirit, Yuta was immediately registered as a special grade due to Rika's immense power, making him the most recent person to receive the ranking. Alongside Rika, Yuta was able to match Geto one-on-one. He revealed not only the ability to use the extremely rare Reverse Cursed Technique but the capacity to copy other cursed techniques like cursed speech as well. This led Geto to claim he was glad that he attacked Yuta before the student learned to properly wield Rika's power. Yuta is a prodigy who boasts incredible power and unusual abilities second only to Satoru Gojo. Yuta displayed more overall cursed energy then their sensei as well as reinforcement techniques far beyond an elite sorcerer. In addition to mastering close combat skills, Yuta has become a proficient user of Reverse Cursed Technique. After executing Yuji, Yuta instantly restarted his heart by outputting positive energy into him. His ability to output positive energy at will is something even Satoru is unable to do. Expert Weapons Specialist: While first training as a sorcerer, Yuta was given a katana mainly as an object to stabilize his cursed energy. Through vigorous training with Maki, the most proficient cursed tool user at Jujutsu High, Yuta grew great skills with a sword. Yuta has continued to hone his skill as a swordsman and still wields a katana as his weapon of choice. His skills have improved dramatically and are perfectly balanced with his enhanced cursed energy manipulation, allowing Yuta to wield a blade with superhuman physical prowess. Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Yuta has grown into a very capable hand-to-hand combatant who is more than comfortable engaging his opponent's up close. He generally throws single powerful smashing blows that can crush his opponent in a single move. Cursed Energy Reinforcement: Yuta compensates for his small physical frame by strengthening himself with cursed energy. This reinforcement to his physical power is enough to put him on par with Yuji's superhuman strength. When Yuji punched a car at Yuta, he was able to just throw it right back at him. Jujutsu Abilities: Shikigami, "Rika": The cursed Rika that remains with Yuta after his friend Rika Orimoto passed away. She serves as the external storage for Yuta's cursed techniques and cursed tools. Yuta has much greater control over this version of Rika but this curse maintains the same immature and protective nature as she did before. Rika can partially manifest and lash out to protect Yuta without him commanding her to do so. She normally acts on Yuta's commands but she can act independently at a fair distance away from Yuta to perform separate tasks as well. It doesn't require Yuta to use any intense emotions to call Rika and she can appear rather quickly, allowing Yuta to call her to his side at any moment's notice. Rika maintains her same trademark power as well. Yuta's Innate Technique, "Copy": While connected to Rika, Yuta can copy innate techniques and use them. He can even use multiple different techniques that he's copied in quick succession. For Yuta to copy his opponent's cursed technique, Rika must bite the enemy. Cursed Speech: Yuta has replicated Toge's ability to use cursed speech. Summoning a megaphone trough the connection with Rika. Speaking trough the megaphone, allows Yuta to imbue the words with cursed energy, turning the words true. For example, if Yuta says "Plummet", the enemy will be pushed down with fierce force, if he says "Blast Away", the enemy will be send flying into the distance, and etc. Cursed Speech is hard to use, and each word is an actual shockwave akin to a sonic boom. Sky Manipulation: Yuta has replicated a sorcerers ability to "control the sky". He can turn the air into a tangible surface and use it to manipulate space, similar to how a lens creates distortion. Belonged to an incarnated sorcerer Takako Uro, and Yuta copied it in the Sendai Colony fight during the Culling Game. Thin Ice Breaker: Yuta uses Sky Manipulation, hits the surface layer of the sky and shatters it like thin ice, striking his opponent with that effect. Maximum Output, Jacob's Ladder: An extension technique Yuta copied from Angel, that blasts down a blinding pillar of light onto a target, nullifying any cursed technique under the light. Shrine: Yuta has replicated Sukuna's technique that allows him to unleash invisible slashes that cut apart enemies. He can use it trough pointing his hand or katana at the enemy in close range. The attack is extremely lethal. Brain Transplant: By having Rika consume Kenjaku's body, Yuta replicated his technique that allows him to swap bodies with another person by transplanting his brain into their body. Yuta had a reserve plan to transplant his brain into Satoru Gojo's body if the latter were to die in a battle against Sukuna. Hollow Purple: An advanced technique that collides a blue sphere of negative and a red sphere of positive together, resulting in an imaginary mass that is launched at the target to deal extreme destructive damage. This is the technique of Satoru Gojo that Yuta copied after his death (If Satoru is assumed alive in the conversation, Yuta can't use the technique). Pure L.O.V.E: Fully gathered energy of Rika's spirit forms a pink blast of positive energy. Any cursed spirit dies at just a single touch of it, and the fire power is stronger than Gojo's Hollow Purple, almost being able to obliterate Suguru Geto's ultimate technique and himself. The downside is, it is extremely draining, and Yuta himself sustains incredible damage. Reverse Cursed Technique: A complex technique that pushes Yuta's cursed energy into positive energy, healing his wounds. He is also able to heal others at some capacity, which not even Satoru Gojo can do. Domain Expansion, Authentic Mutual Love: Yuta forms a metaphysical space in a round barrier. The domain is a field of cross-like structures littered with countless katanas and encircled by ropes tied together in a fashion symbolic of love. Yuta can wield any of the katanas and activate copied cursed techniques without any restrictions. Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void: Yuta's copied Domain Expansion. The domain's environment resembles outer space, with a large black hole, distance galaxies, and numerous white patches. Targets trapped within this domain are paralyzed as boundless information is flooded into their minds. The only way for the opponent to defend against it is to lay out their own Domain. This is the technique of Satoru Gojo that Yuta copied after his death (If Satoru is assumed alive in the conversation, Yuta can't use the technique). Yuta's Equipment: Early in Yuta's training, Satoru took him to the cursed tool vault and provided him with a katana that he still uses. Among the many weapons that Yuta keeps with Rika is a metal arm casing that can be attached by Rika. The cursed tool covers Yuta's entire arm in a metal shell and further reinforces his punches. Yuta also stores a special ring that he can wear to fully connect and manifest Rika's powers.
