The intricate power systems within the world of Jujutsu Kaisen make Cursed Techniques reflections of a sorcerer’s personal essence and innate power rather than simple supernatural abilities. The sudden appearance of Kenjaku's Anti-Gravity Cursed Technique sparked widespread fan speculation about its unexpected narrative insertion.

Would it have made more sense if this power had originated from Yuji Itadori's inherent talents? Yuji’s hidden skills stand as one of the series' most intriguing enigmas, with his full capabilities yet to be discovered. If tied to him, the Anti-Gravity Technique could have deepened his arc, adding layers to his evolving power and identity.

Yuji's current Cursed Technique arsenal is already impressively diverse, spanning Blood Manipulation, Domain Expansion, and even fragments of Sukuna's techniques. From Piercing Blood to his Hometown Domain, he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt and integrate complex cursed techniques.

The Blood Manipulation technique from the Kamo Clan, for instance, allows him to manipulate his own blood with precision, creating powerful attacks like Piercing Blood and demonstrating his capacity to learn intricate techniques quickly.

Kenjaku's display of the Anti-Gravity Cursed Technique illustrates an intriguing defiance of physical laws. However, its sudden introduction feels rushed and lacks the complex setup Gege Akutami usually builds into his stories.

If Yuji had been positioned to inherit or develop a similar ability, the technique's introduction could have transformed from a convenient plot device into a meaningful character development arc. Imagine Yuji's potential interaction with Anti-Gravity through the lens of his unique physiological makeup.

As a vessel for Sukuna and possessing extraordinary physical capabilities, he could theoretically develop a nuanced approach to manipulating gravitational forces. His background in athletics and exceptional body control suggests he might intuitively understand spatial dynamics in ways other sorcerers cannot.
