Jujutsu Kaisen ep 12 To You Someday is out now we will be breaking down. Since this is a breakdown there will be spoilers. If you do not want to be spoiled stop now and go check out this episode as well as other past episode of this series over at Crunchyroll.com AGAIN SPOILERS AHEAD.
We begin the episode looking back as we learn Kento has been informed about the veil that was made over Jumpie school and most likely it might be caused by Mahito which we know it was. He tells Yuji not to go as Mahito was too much for him so there is little hope Yuji can do anything. But as fans know to well Yuji will not just sit around so while Yuji storms in Kento leaves Takuma to deal with Mahito experiments.
In present time we see Yuji take on Jumpei but not making much luck as this jellyfish entity that Jumpie keeps summoning is blocking his blows. At least they are blocking the impact but Jumpie is still feeling the blows as they sent him back. The fight is a nice one to watch as Yuji also tries to breakthrough to Jumpie saying you don’t have to do this .
Now as a reminder Yuji knows that Jumpie lost his mother but he has no idea what Mahito has been telling him. This results in the 2 basically coming to tears as neither want to fight one another. The problem is that Mahito did want them to fight. This was all his plan and as Jumpie realizes this it is too late as Mahito turns him. This transformation is meant to force Yuji to switch with Sukuna.
Yuji does do what they knew he would the only issue is Sukuna is not game. Remember curses love to see humans tortured and with this it all comes full circle. Sukuna made a pact with Yuji but by making sure he can’t remember it Yuji has no way of utilizing it. So for anyone who thought we might get what we see in Naruto and Boruto with him the main tapping in to the power he has not we know it exist such the tail beat or karma. That is not what is going to happen hear and to be honest I like this part of the series as it plays with are expectations just right.
The thing is Sukuna not wanting to come out may humor Mahito but it also throws there plans out the window as basically the whole point as to have him join them upon switching. Now as Mahito deals with that we see Yuji takes in the fact he is stuck between 2 curses and comes up with one thing. He will beat Mahito himself and proceeds to attack. He nails him with the first attack and it causes his nose to bleed. Keep track of that as we will come back to it. But form here it is a fight through out the school.
Now Yuji did something but it isn’t enough to make this fight easier. Remember Mahito can change his body to match the situation making his limbs what ever he needs. At the moment Yuji can only punch thing hard. So it is no wonder that the majority of the fight Yuji is losing with only few moments to get licks in as Mahito stops thinking he has him. In one of those moments he tries to talk to Sukuna only to have the king curses to tell him never touch me again.
Now thankfully Kento arrives and with Yuji they can make some progress. Kento couldn’t do serious damage to Mahito but it seems Yuji did. What that damage is in full is hard to say. But the point is with both of them they should be able to do something with this. Will it be enough? We will see.
