Jujutsu Kaisen has a ton of powerful sorcerers in its grasp, but not all of them are made equal. Guys like Gojo Satoru have godlike powers while others struggle to rank period. Yuta just so happens to be one of the manga’s strongest fighters, and now, he has found a foe in Ryu Ishigori that no one saw coming.
The update went live this week when Jujutsu Kaisen put out chapter 176. It was there fans checked on Yuta as he continued his fight with Uro Takako and her space-warping technique. The pair had quite the good bout before another foe stepped into the ring, and it turns out Ryo felt it was time to get the jump on the pair.
The manga shows Ryo standing far away from Uro and Yuta before he launches an energy blast from… his hair. It might sound crazy, but the sorcerer’s updo is styled so distinctly for a reason. His pompadour style curls into a cannon at the top, and Ryo shoots cursed energy from the cut as if it were a laser.
The sorcerer is shown using this attack twice with the first blast being massive enough to level buildings. His energy is immense, and Ryo follows up his first attack with a ton of smaller blasts. These shots seem to track Yuta as he traverses the battlefield to get in close with Ryo. And when Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 176 closes, the newcomer still seems satisfied with his chances against Yuta even though the boy is a Special Grade sorcerer.
Clearly, the Culling Game has some beasts on board, so Yuta will get to test his abilities for real. Ryo is a definite challenge, and Yuta still has Uro to worry about as well. So if you thought Yuta was terrifying when he chased after Yuji a while back, brace yourselves for something even worse this time around!
What do you think about Uro Takako so far? Do you think the sorcerer’s powers are on par with Special Grade standards? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB.
