In Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 143, Yuta Okkotsu confronts a critically wounded Naoya Zenin, who is struggling against the effects of Choso’s Blood Manipulation. Initially fearing he’s been poisoned, Naoya realizes that the problem stems from Choso’s nature as a fully cursed being, which his body instinctively rejects.
Yuta calmly offers to heal Naoya’s injuries on one condition — that Naoya report to the higher-ups that Yuji Itadori is dead. This agreement would help Yuji escape immediate execution.
The chapter also unveils a significant flashback, revealing a conversation between Yuji’s grandfather, Wasuke Itadori, and Yuji’s father, Jin Itadori. Wasuke disapproves of Jin’s refusal to abandon a mysterious woman named Kaori. In a shocking twist, Kaori appears, now revealed as Yuji’s mother — distinguishable by stitches on her forehead, suggesting a sinister connection to Kenjaku, the ancient sorcerer responsible for body-hopping through generations.
