Could Jujutsu Kaisen Take Inspiration from Hunter X Hunter for Next Deaths?
Fans theorize that Jujutsu Kaisen might draw inspiration from Hunter X Hunter for the next deaths in the series, with a potential focus on Ryomen Sukuna targeting Ui Ui and Shoko Ieiri. Find out the similarities between the characters and how this theory could unfold.
Jujutsu Kaisen Takes Inspiration from Hunter X Hunter
Jujutsu Kaisen fans have long been aware of the creator Gege Akutami’s admiration for Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter X Hunter manga. This admiration was particularly evident during the Shibuya Incident Arc, where the storytelling style included a lot of narration, similar to Hunter X Hunter.

Given the current events in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, a theory has emerged among fans suggesting that Gege Akutami might draw inspiration from Togashi for the next deaths in the series. While this theory may seem strange, there is no reason to believe that Akutami wouldn’t take this approach for the story.

Similarities Between Sukuna and Hisoka
One fan theory suggests that Gege Akutami could have Ryomen Sukuna take a similar path as Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter. This theory argues that Sukuna shares similarities with two Hunter X Hunter characters – Meruem, the Chimera Ant King, and Hisoka Morow.

Sukuna appreciates strong opponents like Meruem, while also believing himself to be the strongest, much like Hisoka. Additionally, Sukuna, like Hisoka, only cares about his personal preferences.

The most recent similarity between Sukuna and Hisoka is their use of their energy to keep themselves alive. After Hisoka was killed by Chrollo, his personality underwent a significant change. He became more practical and sought revenge against Chrollo by targeting his most useful supporting characters, Shalnark and Kortopi.
Drawing a parallel from this, the theory suggests that Sukuna might go after Ui Ui and Shoko Ieiri. Like Hisoka, Sukuna no longer wants to take it easy against the Jujutsu sorcerers. He has witnessed Ui Ui’s importance as he used his Teleportation technique to save Satoru Gojo and Yuta Okkotsu from the battlefield. Sukuna speculates that Ui Ui may have teleported them to Jujutsu Tech doctor Shoko Ieiri.
With Sukuna now relying on cursed energy to keep himself alive, it is likely that he will adopt a more practical approach in fighting the Jujutsu sorcerers. This could potentially lead him to target the two key characters, Ui Ui and Shoko Ieiri, among the Jujutsu Sorcerers.
It remains to be seen how Sukuna will attack Ui Ui and reach Shoko Ieiri. Such a development could also reveal what has happened to Yuta Okkotsu and Satoru Gojo’s body.
The Unfolding Theory
In conclusion, fans of Jujutsu Kaisen have theorized that Gege Akutami might take inspiration from Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter X Hunter for the next deaths in the series. This theory suggests that Ryomen Sukuna could follow a similar path to Hisoka by targeting Ui Ui and Shoko Ieiri. It will be interesting to see how this theory unfolds and what consequences it may have for the Jujutsu sorcerers.
