In Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 27, Yuji Itadori spots Mahito descending the stairs toward him and Junpei. For a brief moment, Yuji hesitates, unsure if Mahito could be human. That uncertainty disappears the instant Mahito reveals his true form, using a grotesquely mutated arm to slam Yuji against the wall. Mockingly addressing him as “Sukuna’s vessel,” Mahito’s sadistic nature becomes clear. Junpei desperately tries to intervene but is powerless against the cursed spirit. Filled with rage at his hesitation, Yuji instantly recognizes Mahito as the very kind of curse Nanami had warned him about.
