There’s a real-life model for Yuji Itadori and they are personally close to series creator Gege Akutami.
Jujutsu Kaisen is officially back, but Yuji Itadori is nowhere in sight in the debut chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. Fans are expecting to see Yuji back in action, but his status is still unknown, whether he is dead or alive. He’s not the main character anymore, with Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin’s grandchildren, Yuka and Tsurugi, replacing him at the center of the story.
Yuji Itadori is greatly missed by Jujutsu Kaisen fans and seeing him again in future chapters of Modulo will surely be a special treat. But before Gege Akutami could bring back Yuji Itadori, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen revealed that Yuji Itadori has a real-life model personally close to him, someone who inspired him to shape Yuji Itadori’s personality and attitude.
Yuji Itadori Is a Gifted Main Character
Most fans consider Yuji Itadori as the goat of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Yuji Itadori is a prodigy.
Jujutsu Kaisen fans like to call Yuji Itadori the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) of the series, especially after he ended Ryomen Sukuna’s reign of terror. But before fans dubbed him as the goat, series creator Gege Akutami gave him the moniker «The Tiger of West Junior High» due to his overwhelming physical abilities, from strength, speed, and reflexes to endurance that are far superior to ordinary humans.
