She’s still alive.Īnd that means a lot in the world of jujutsu sorcery. But whether or not she’s an effective sorcerer is another thing. In that case, maybe she’s just really stuck with her cursed technique stuck with a supporting role in every fight.ĥ. So, I can only conclude that she lacks resources because she isn’t part of a jujutsu sorcery clan. I can only assume only has access to whatever is left behind in the vaults of Jujutsu High. Utahime, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to have the same resources. And they have easy access to the most insanely expensive cursed tools.

We know Maki and Mei Mei come from prominent families. They’re all basically dead people really.) (And let’s not talk about the obviously made up Special Grade 1 level of the Zenin clan to delineate themselves from the other Grade 1 sorcerers and stroke their massive egos… when they can’t even compare to any of the Special Grade sorcerers. (Look at the insufferable Gojo who basically won the clan lottery, everything about him is just raw, innate power.) With the right connections, a sorcerer can move up in rank easily. If we know anything about the world of jujutsu sorcery, it’s that connections matter. She may not have even come from a clan that could support her growth as a jujutsu sorcerer. I believe Utahime doesn’t come from a respectable clan. But she doesn’t seem to which now raises the question, are the Iori’s not a strong clan? Is Utahime not even from a clan?Ĥ. Maybe it would be infinitely easier if she had access to the better, more effective, and thus very expensive and elusive, cursed tools. So, why does it seem like she doesn’t have mastery in other skills? As we’ve seen from the other characters, with enough determination, anything is possible! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Utahime may just really not have much of either cursed energy and physical strength, which isn’t particularly a bad thing. This is what makes her (and Toji) effective fighters even without cursed energy. Is it because she doesn’t care enough to practice? Or is it because she’s just really too weak, has too little cursed energy, that using cursed tools won’t do much of anything?įor example, weapons specialist Maki has enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, durability and vitality. Utahime could’ve trained since her school days to master fighting with cursed tools, to get stronger knowing how inhibitive her cursed technique is.īut, she doesn’t. And while we know that Utahime’s cursed technique requires support from allies because of her buffing time, she could’ve taken Maki and Mei Mei’s example and worked with cursed tools. To be promoted to Grade 1, to the sorcerer level that is highly respected, a semi-Grade 1 sorcerer will have to exorcise a Grade 1 curse alone. But, she doesn’t seem to have mastery in either. She has the option to hone her skills in other areas, such as hand-to-hand combat and the use of cursed tools.

Thus, she cannot exorcise a curse on her own.ģ. Her cursed technique requires buffing time. And all she’s accomplished is moving up a level.Ģ. That’s nearly over 12 years of honing her powers. When Utahime is later/earlier introduced at the present timeline, she’s just a semi-Grade 1 sorcerer. She was a Grade 2 sorcerer when she was 18/19 years old and Mei Mei was already a Grade 1 sorcerer then. Compared to her contemporaries, she is very weak. In canon, I see Utahime as someone who is more determined than strong. and she knows the cost of being a sorcerer.)Ĭheck this analysis out for my GoUta Strong v. it makes sense since her character is described as “everyone likes utahime.” she is competitive. 8, 2021 - utahime is a strategist, analytical she’s well-versed in covert ops that’s why gojo entrusted her to spy on their peers and students. Just some points regarding Utahime’s character which I want to support with canon:Ģ. I don’t know if this is a meta or an analysis? I just wanted to share some thoughts about canon.
