Jujutsu Kaisen: How Strong is Yuta Okkotsu?

Jujutsu Kaisen’s new movie, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has introduced anime watchers to the series’ second protagonist of sorts; Yuta Okkotsu. So how does he stack up to the rest of Jujutsu Kaisen’s already powerful cast?

All that cursed energy would be useless if he didn’t know how to use it though. Luckily, Okkotsu ends up developing several ways to manipulate his energy beyond physical enhancement. Most critically, is his ability to use reverse cursed technique, an exceedingly rare skill that allows him to heal himself and allies by turning his negative energy into positive energy. Very
