#if Kenjaku could create yuuji as Sukuna's perfect vessel

[epickiya722]

I know I made other posts of these moments but... so far this season both Sukuna (left side) and Yuuji (right side) have had some moments where they have done the same thing.

Like...

So they both had that one shot

Pushed back hair with the death glare, looked down at someone like "pathetic", red eyes & black shadows

Boxed with someone bigger than them and won

Swung from something

Tied someone up and threw them

Stuck to a wall and backflipped away to avoid attacks

Bonus: they have scared Mahito shitless

Bonus: I hadn't realize that Sukuna threw an airplane wing at Mahoraga in that fight, so throwing things at their opponents, too.

I caved and read ch. 271.... This is my jjk ending reaction post

SO WHO WAS THAT WITH TAKABA????

Yesterday I reread the last chapters, and the latest translation makes them sound less out of character. More based in reality. As well as other moments that can easily be explained within grounded reality (like Hiromi's arm not being fully healed - that makes sense. It was cut off with Sukuna's CT, and Higuruma JUST learned RCT in that moment. Even if he's on par with Gojo, who was up against Toji's cursed tool as the only curse... Sukuna's CE is so dense that Todo's technique couldn't even reach Choso - who is half curse, and within range - or Yuuji (which would make sense bc he and Sukuna are basically twins and Yuuji's been steeped in his CE). So maybe Hiromi could grow an arm back, but it isn't perfect, and it wasn't life-threatening. If Shoko had to prioritize her RCT, which is likely bc Rika was needed to heal Yuuta's body, then Hiromi's arm was on the back burner). And regarding the RikaBus - originally I imagined her insides, zipped open like her weapon storage we saw in the culling games, but to supply electricity to the TVs. Now, I think she might have eaten a part of Hajime Kashimo in order to do this. Idk man

But there are continuity errors and idiosyncraties. I still think the dream theory was valid - just like Yuuta/Gojo's domain's barrier was left floating around, I think Yuuji's shifted them into the curse rift between dreams and reality, but it wore off with time. His domain's focus on sightseeing and Sukuna's muscle memory of a barrierless domain (as well as Yuuji's in experience with domains, and barriers in general until his replacement training) make this more likely to project further.

This dreamlike effect could also be caused by the merger. A condition of it seems to be having absorbed Tengen - which Sukuna had to do, after Kenjaku. They were using Tengen to create / empower the merger, and this control was officially given to Megumi, as he was the vessel. Something interesting could have happened if Tengen had clung onto him as the most stable host, but their remains were found in Sukuna's. So... (depending on the language used, maybe some of Tengen is still in him and he has some power from it) it seems the merger is not going to be completed. But we don't know what the merger would really look like - even kenjaku with his thousand years of jujutsu knowledge and experience couldn't guess. So I think it's only fair to play into the dream stuff that he mentioned to Sasaki while working toward that.

So whether it was residue from Yuuji's domain (let's not forget that Kenjaku was actually pregnant with him, and he ate all those death painting wombs that had kenjaku's blood from another body, and blood connections are a thing especially when blood manipulation CT is involved), the merger, or a combination, the dream state is fading back to reality (but what does this mean for Takaba's partner??).

Actually - hear me out - during the time Tengen was out. Between the time when Sukuna left Megumi, and when Tengen's remains were placed at the barrier - were the dreamlike qualities limited to this era? I can read again and look for things but I'm not the most observant when it comes to those details. It might also take a short time to shift things back into place once Tengen is back to restore the barriers. So any input here is appreciated.

We did get enough closure on the merger (as much as I wish Sukuna got to fight it). while some people were already becoming cursed spirits, they're gathering in Tokyo. The katana and sumo otakus are there. And since cursed energy is directed at Tokyo to such an extent, it seems that our sorcerers get to have some fun, low-risk missions. Which is so sweet, I'm glad to see it.

And while we don't know whether the reincarnated sorcerers can be stripped from their vessels, it seems like they're going to try - I imagine this is in Gakuganji's hands, and not certain that it will work or even be attempted.

I'm interpreting the big eyes to mean that the sorcerers are still a bit like momotetsu characters, playing into jujutsu headquarters' game - but it's fleeting, it's going away. (for context, my momotaro folktale vs game analysis is here)

Ultimately I feel like. Insane and gaslighted that my theories which had a lot of foreshadowing (I thought anyway) haven't happened. (Gojo returning and the last panel shows him as sukuna's vessel) But they still could. Well, to some extent at least (rip sukuna idk if that one injured fingie could bring you back but you got your peace and I'm happy for you).

.... I still think that Geto and Gojo could come back. Geto might be back, idk. Maybe takaba just found someone who looked like him.... Maybe it was a temporary effect of the dream scatter.

I'm not desperate for them to, I'm not insisting that they would (I've always been in denial that Geto would stay dead lmao). But the TIMING of when we saw the sugar-creating CT, along w the fsct that GOJO was the one always eating sugar for his brain, had me convinced that he was going to return. I... Honestly suspect that he could be back, but taking a much-needed rest. Faking his death until he's ready to reveal himself. Not to mention the clock theories on Gojo and Sukuna returning.

But I don't need them to come back. I really did like the last chapter (though I rly thought takaba & Geto were behind the momotaro eyes smh).

Sukuna's afterlife scene - though we didn't see him visit the airport (I wish Gojo got to see true form sukuna, that's his wife). Sukuna had Uraume with him, and they were able to face Mahito in passing, and leave him behind. We see Sukuna engage in physical contact for the first time, outside of violence (the only consensual form he seemed to be granted in life).

The chapter still feels short like something is missing but, whatever. We got the first years' chaos, we got post-prison realm Gojo, also the curse victim's character design is so?? I love her.

So my unresolved questions are - who is with takaba?

And

Who is on the left behind sukuna?

Tldr: I've settled into the belief that Uraume transitioned during the Heian era, so that's who is behind Sukuna. (Gege confirmed they were amab, and part of their deal w kenjaku was to incarnate as a woman) I believe that Uraume discovered they'd still be nonbinary, in any body. Sukuna's trans but was out of touch with emotions and didn't rly explore it. I'll keep what I said earlier up, anyway.

But for how, I'm going with that being Uraume, showing their two paths. Afaik we only see Uraume with white hair during the Heian era - but on my 4th read, I'll be looking for this person.

It makes more sense to show one person's potential outcomes here than for it to be about Sukuna choosing one person or another. I can say with certainty that is not Yorozu (I doubt she ever wore clothing so properly).

The posture, hair etc. resembles Uraume more than anyone, I think. This is about their possible paths. The left one might be the role they took after Sukuna mummified, or maybe they could have grown taller if they didn't trade it for something in a pact, like seeing Sukuna again in the future.

Uraume might have had an older sibling. Choso's speech about little brothers benefiting from the older brother's path, either to follow the right path or to avoid the wrong one he takes, comes to mind. I always felt like that was out of place, the same way "Yuuta Okkotsu can't become the next Satoru Gojo" became relevant later.

Alternate take on this mystery panel in ch. 271 is that Sukuna could have transitioned. This post gave me the courage to actually post about it and ngl!! I think this is the answer.

Edit to add: this post points out the shinto connection to the left clothing.

The changes in art style, I realize now, were very intentional as well and I've been hoping they translate into the anime. It's all to evoke certain emotional, mental states in the reader, to match that of the story.

Damn I forgot to react to the colored page.... Tldr, it gave us closure on Ui Ui / Mei Mei, and Higuruma Hiromi could be my favorite surviving character. He's the next Geto and the next Gojo.

[bibibbon]

Hey Bibi! I was thinking on my ask about Sukuna and Yuuji working better as twins and another point I just thought of is isn't one of Sukuna's monikersis that he is a "God with two faces".

If the Twin theory was true, this would be literal in the narrative of the Jujutsu - Sukuna would be both himself "the king of curses" and Yuuji an extremely capable sorcerer , Sukuna's nemesis and former vessel as well as the "one chosen by the black flash."

With this theory, they would truly be two sides of the same coin.

Plus, the narrative potential of this move for Yuuji is immense - it creates more of an identity crisis for Yuuji than the "Sukuna's nephew" one does because there's more of a familial distance there so he would find it easier to double down on the hatred he feels to distance himself from Sukuna and kill him anyway.

With the twin theory, there's the parallels to Maki which I also like - I feel like she would have been perfect in supporting Yuuji with this revelation. I could see her also feeling disgusted with Sukuna's hatred as, although Maki and her had rough patches in thier relationship, she would have never done the things to her twin that Sukuna did to Yuuji.

Anyway, let me know your thoughts!

Hi @doodlegirl1998 👋

Sorry for not answering sooner

Hmm now that I think about it I am leaning more into having sukuna and yuji be twins especially because kenjaku did say that he viewed yujis role as him coexisting with sukuna. The paneling of that manga panel also emphasises the whole same coin different sides theme that the two have going on. Sukuna being the natural menace with two faces and yuji being picked by the black flashes is such an interesting title that needs to be explored by gege.

Sometimes I do like to think that yuji is basically Jin with no wasted potential.

However, I still think it's hella interesting the relationship and rivalry they have considering that they had to share a body and their souls are quite similar. Yuji considering that his body was made due to the residual of one of sukunas fingers has way more of sukuna's similarities and all than his own father Jin itadori. Also, yuji being related to sukuna in any way would definitely cause him an identity crisis which I really want gege to explore. I also wish gege would explore itadoris thoughts behind him being half curse and being related to kenjaku (I doubt he would fully do that though).

I do remember stating in one of your asks that if sukuna and yuji were twins it would highlight their parallels with the zenin twins. I still think that the arguement somewhat stands but instead of twins it's yuji and choso being paralleled siblings with the zenin twins. There's also the fact that sukuna doesn't seem to be directly hateful concerning Jin itadori and their relationship (Jin and sukuna) could be loosely paralleled to maki and mai.

I do definitely see your point with maki being perfect to help yuji with this and to be honest I really wish that they had more screentime interacting with eachother. Whenever we see maki and itadori together they're usually up to throwing hands but it would be so much more interesting if we got a scene of them talking especially after the revelation that yuji is indeed a Kamo clan member. As you have stated if sukuna and yuji were twins maki as the older twin would definitely be disgusted at sukuna and his actions. However, I feel like she would still be disgusted at him for 1) killing tsumiki and 2) if she found that he is even related to anyone and had family.

[ssaraexposs]

I need to get something off my mind...

Let's just ASSUME (cause none of that it's actually been confirmed) that Kenjaku PLANNED to create the perfect vessel for Sukuna to reincarnate (hence, giving birth to our dear Yuuji). We now know that Sukuna wanted Megumi instead, because the Ten Shadows technique it was the only way to pierce through Gojo Satoru's mugen. So... did Kenjaku's original plan actually backfired on him? Did he believe Sukuna could kill Gojo either way? Why did he think about seal Gojo off, when he could have relied on Sukuna all along? Did he suspect Sukuna couldn't?

Because the fact that Kenjaku gave birth to Yuuji still doesn't make sense to me. It's not like he cares for him, so he didn't feel any parenthood all of a sudden. Kenjaku's far from hot- headed. He wouldn't make a child, out of a mistake. He doesn't leave stuff to fate to deal with. He just experimented with the Death Paintings, in order to create being half-human, half curse. So what's his deal with Yuuji?

[lesbiansanemi]

Read the Yuuji curse fic and i am EATING YOUR WALLLLLSSSSS MY SKRUNKLIES

Okay but like. The potential of Yuuji-Kenjaku partnership au. The dynamic shift between picture perfectly self-serving sorcerer Sukuna and twisted, loving King of Curses Yuuji.

Maybe Suguru's faction is waylaid early on by a stranger with stitches lining their forehead, because they heard that a member of Suguru's family was a girl from the countryside with a penchant for dolls. Suguru can't focus on those damn monkeys or even Jujutsu Society anymore because some bastard is working with filthy "intelligent" curses and kidnapped Mimiko. That's just as unforgivable as being the reason those curses exist in the first place. So Suguru is still around to cause problems, maybe.

Either way, years later, "Kugisaki Nobara" swaggers into Ryomen Sukuna and Uruame's first year class at Tokyo Tech.

And you know. Hey. What if. While Maki was still born with nothing. Mai was born a year later with Ten Shadows. Consider toxic, tragic, doomed since conception Nobamaki in the midst of clawing for someone else they can't bear to live without.

And Megumi gets to trans his gender cuz that's always fun

Anyways these are all just ideas since I have self-inflicted brainrot now jdfhskdl

Omg sorry, have had a hectic few days but ANON ANON COME BACK YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THIS AND THEN LEAVE OMG YOU'RE INFECTING ME WITH BRAIN ROT !!!!!

Yuuji being the King of Curses, but specifically it stemming from how much he loves Megumi and Nobara. Man hang on a second.... hang on second !!!!! Like we all know I adore the whole "love is the most twisted curse of all" and so that being reflected in the King of Curses... Yeah, that hits.

Also Yuuji and Kenjaku having a partnership is really interesting too! Because like canonically, Kenjaku just kinda did things without really consulting Sukuna (or at least, that's what seems to be implied) so Yuuji working with them specifically because he doesn't just want to be incarnated again, but so Megumi and Nobara can be... Making sure they have suitable vessels and bodies.... It would be a super interesting dynamic between them! Kenjaku working to make/find those bodies for all of them

And Kenjaku deciding to go after Mimiko is so fun. It creates such a messy conflict for Geto, which in turn affects Gojo, and would also spiral into the Yuta and Rika consolation if Geto isn't as focused on him because he's preoccupied with Mimiko.

Kenjaku likely wouldn't incarnate Nobara without knowing they could incarnate Megumi and Yuuji. One of them by themselves likely wouldn't mean the most stable incarnated curse! But Kenjaku having Sukuna for Yuuji, and having heard about Mai, knowing if they can get their hands on her, she's likely to be a good vessel for Megumi. So they make the decision to incarnate her in Mimiko once they have their hands on her. Mimiko growing up already having Nobara incarnated in her, Nobara developing a fondness for her vessel because she sees herself in this girl. Oh, it would be such an interesting dynamic!

Forgive me, I'm bouncing all over the place, but the implications of Uraume and Sukuna with this being a role swap AU! I'm not sure if this is what you intended, but where my brain is going, is Sukuna being in a similar position as Yuuji is in canon, with him being created specifically to be Yuuji's vessel. But instead of being separated from jujutsu society, growing up in it, being involved in it, as you said, being a picture perfect cutthroat sorcerer. Maybe a bastard child from one of the big three clans? Being connected with them, but looked down upon. Feel like it would be interesting circumstances for him, with Uraume being what feels like his one true ally. Uraume being the one to find the cursed object that allows Yuuji to be incarnated in Sukuna. Sukuna deciding to consume it because he wants more power. And them being enrolled in Tokyo Tech!!! Making them Gojo's students!!! MM. Yeah. Yeah, I'm having a lot of thoughts about that

So Yuuji incarnates in Sukuna, and Kenjaku releases Nobara/Mimiko into the world so she can be enrolled in Tokyo Tech and be by Yuuji's side once again.

Gojo now suddenly having access to Geto's missing adopted daughter, but not realizing it.

And then. Ugh. The Zenins. I'm obsessed with that little plot thread like you don't even know!!! Maki being enrolled at Tokyo Tech, and a year later, Mai is enrolled in Kyoto. Maybe Nobara originally decides to get close to Maki so she hopefully has a chance to get to Mai so they can use her to incarnate Megumi. That's the plan after all! But it's difficult to get access to a Zenin. Kenjaku hasn't been able to manage it yet, but now that Nobara and Yuuji have incarnated in their vessels (even if Nobara is essentially sharing a body, and Sukuna is able to repress Yuuji) they decide it's up to them now to get Megumi's vessel. It's not right without him! But Nobara gets attached to Maki. Maki gets attached to Nobara. Feelings develop, and Nobara begins the miserable spiral of desperately needing Megumi's vessel. Everything pales in comparison to that. She won't give up on it just because she's developed feelings, but that doesn't mean she doesn't start to feel guilt for it. It's the first time she's felt guilt in a long time, and Yuuji is having a difficult time understanding her feelings. After all, this is for Megumi. Nothing matters except that!

But they're finally able to get access to Mai, maybe during the exchange event. Maybe that was the plan the curses worked on for that rather than stealing the fingers as it was in canon. So Megumi is able to incarnate in Mai, and Maki is enraged and hurt. Yeah. Yeah

I am.... so sorry, I just fucking ran with this, it's just!!! Such a fun and interesting concept for an AU and my brain is EATING IT!!!!!

[yuujispinkhair]

winter have you seen the recent theory circulating on twitter that yuuji and megumi may be related?? and what are your thoughts on it????

Heyyy <3 I saw the theory, and it's very interesting! I love seeing what people come up with! But I feel like it can't work because, as far as I understand it, for this theory, it is assumed that Yuuji uses heavenly restriction?

JJK spoilers under the cut

But I don't think he can use heavenly restriction since he is currently able to heal himself, which means he is using a cursed technique? (Please don't take my word for this!! I am not very familiar with all the lore)

But I don't mind, really, whether Yuuji and Megumi are related or not. It wouldn't affect my shipping preferences. But personally, I rather think that Yuuji and Sukuna are related. And I hope for a revelation like this! I know Gege said Sukuna had no children, but maybe he had a twin brother, and that brother had children? Or one of Kenjaku's experiments created a new bloodline with Sukuna's genes, and the Itadori's descended from that?

I find it suspicious that true form Sukuna kind of looks like Yuuji and Wasuke. He even has the same pink hair as the Itadoris. Also, I remember that one manga panel where Jin was wearing his glasses in a way that made them look like Sukuna's second pair of eyes. And Wasuke's name refers to ancient Japan and assistant/help. I feel like all of those things could hint at Sukuna. And why did Kenjaku pick the Itadori family to try for a child he could use as the perfect vessel (cage) for Sukuna? Why choose a non-sorcerer family? Why this family? Why did he want Jin to be the father? I don't think he did that randomly. It would make sense if he knew they were already connected to Sukuna.

I could be completely wrong about all of this, though, because I don't really understand the cursed techniques, etc. But I like the thought of Yuuji and Sukuna being connected, so this is what I hope for :)

What do you think about those theories? Or do you have your own? I am excited to see if Sukuna really gets his own body and how that body will look!! Maybe that can answer some questions!

[xitpenumbris]

SukuIta thought: Sukuna biting Yuuji for the first time, hard enough to break skin, vicious and punishing, getting a taste of his blood and realizing how easily he could get addicted to it.

Heady and addictive, absolutely to his liking.

His sweet vessel, perfect to the core.

(I'm just super weak to the idea of Kenjaku creating Yuuji to be perfect for Sukuna, to the smallest detail, fjfhgg).

[noritoshiikamo]

jjk spoilers!!!!!!!

very quick question, wasn't it stated that yuuji does not have a ct bc he wasn't born with one? and didn't choso list all the names of his bothers (i.e. all the death paintings) which means yuuji is not death a painting? or did i mix it up??? 😅😭

jjk spoiler

i feel like im not gonna make sense lol but

he isnt but he couldve some sort of heavenly restriction going like maki or toji. his body is literally a miracle to be able to withstand sukuna, its a bit sus for him to be born with insane strength and ability to withstand sukuna. and lets say that fr yuuji isnt born with ct, whos there to confirm that when he has no connection to like jujutsu world except for kenjaku/his mother? we know that usually sorcerer developed their ct when they are a kid i feel like the grandfather is hiding that fact away from him to protect him from the second wife/kenjaku, i feel like itadori is born with ct but only the grandfather knew and hes hiding it away from him

THIS IS JUST MY THEORY AND I WONT BLAME U FOR SAYING IM STUPIDLY REACHING but like fjjfjfh we only know the only successful experiment is the dp and we don’t know whether noritoshi/kenjaku stopped their experiments after the dp is destroyed (i could be wrong??? i forgot) or maybe noritoshi the ancestor was stopped but kenjaku is still alive with that information so like

MAYBE yuji is the the second phase of the experiment, a perfection version of dp? we know dps need to be planted into a host but yuuji is born straight up cursed jdjdjdjjd idk and we dont really know whats the purposed of kenjaku/noritoshi creating dp anyway is it bcs noritoshi is really evil from start or is it just kenjaku/noritoshi just woke up one day and like “im bored lets do human experiments” or maybe kenjaku possessed noritoshi the ancestor to take advantage of the knowledge about the dp just so he could produced a vessel for sukuna and yuji being related to dp or is a dp himself is just a coincidence???

i mean kenjaku possessing the second wife, impregnated her body with a baby with his own cursed energy and giving birth to the second phase of death painting doesn’t sound crazy much to me

bruh i do sound tad crazy

[epickiya722]

So Kiya, I see this interesting theory of Yuuji and Sukuna in twitter, what do you think :

"I am starting to think cursed energy treated them (Sukuna & Yuuji) as conjoined twins because their souls shared a body"

"If Yuji has Sukuna CE and will later use his CT, he's techically his "twin" in a weird way"

"Yeah. Could still be true that they were siblings in the past or something. Just that as of rn, given what we know about ce and twins, without canonical confirmation that they were real twins, this could probably be the closest we can get to confirming the theory"

Oooooh, wait, wait, wait! I got thoughts! I have thoughts! The gears are turning! This is about to be so long, I just know it.

(Also, like to apologize it took me forever to answer this because I'll be real... I was stumped and for a while I barely could conjure up words for anything. Posts and fics.)

Okay, I always thought the whole "Yuji being Sukuna's reincarnated twin" theory rather interesting and honestly, I'm here for that. This is more of a joke for me, at first, that what if Yuji was Sukuna's reincarnation and I'm working on posts for that.

Now, being a reincarnation for his twin, has me thinking about some things.

I mentioned in this post that I find it fishy that Kenjaku birthed a vessel for Sukuna and one that somehow was able to control Sukuna, too. Yuji is a perfect vessel.

Thinking about it more, and it's just a thought, what if Kenjaku had been involved in Sukuna's birth somehow and is the reason why he turned out the way he is?

Not saying I'm right, but hear me out!

Picture this. What if Sukuna's parents asked Kenjaku for some kind of favor dealing with a child? Kenjaku took it as an opportunity to test out a few things and what if during Sukuna's growth in his mother's womb, it wasn't just him? There could have been another twin and yet Kenjaku may have done something that resulted in Sukuna's having the deformities he has? The four eyes, the four arms? Hell, you know it's been said some people have "eaten" their twin in the womb? Sukuna could have done that and because of Kenjaku, however Sukuna had been birthed was the result.

Sukuna mentions he was an unwanted child and maybe, just maybe it was because he didn't turn out how his parents imagined him to be and could have abandoned him. And if they did, Kenjaku possibly could have gotten their hands on Sukuna and looked after him for their own purposes.

But why? Well, my guess is to use him later as a tool for at least one of the reasons, but also just another case of wanting to experiment with souls and the human body.

Now, bringing back Yuji. What if Sukuna could have also had two souls, one that would belong to his intended twin, when he was a baby?

When Kenjaku made Sukuna's fingers into cursed objects, they also took the soul Sukuna host for his intended twin to later create Yuji. It seems wild, but hey, this is Kenjaku and almost anything is possible in JJK.

I think about what Mai talked about with Maki in chapter 149. (So spoiler alert ahead.)

She mentions how twins are considered a bad omen to sorcerers. To gain something, you have to sacrifice something. (Indentical) twins are considered one individual by cursed techniques. "I am you and you are me."

Let's apply this to Sukuna and Yuji.

To gain something, you have to sacrifice something -> Sukuna's birth, but the sacrifice was his would be twin.

Twins are considered one individual -> As the theory suggests, Yuji and Sukuna are like twins. After some rewatches and rereads, I realized that as different as they are, Yuji and Sukuna do be having quite a bit of similarities (I already made a few posts about such and I'm working on another). It's like they are one individual.

Twins are considered bad omens -> Sukuna brings nothing but pain and Yuji only feels pain and also consider that the people around Yuji has something bad happen to them.

Going off that last point, think about the Zenin and Hasaba twins. The Hasaba twins were killed by Sukuna and even their backstory is nothing but sad. Before Suguru took them in, the village saw them as the cause for their misfortune and mistreated them. Nanako and Mimiko only had each other. Same for the Zenin twins. They were mistreated by their clan and even if they fell out for a time, Mai and Maki are still close and only had each other. Both cases of the twins end badly. For the Hasaba twins, again, they are killed. For Maki and Mai, Mai dies.

Circling back to Yuji and Sukuna, here's something I see that the two have in common, kind of.

They're both loners.

They are surrounded by people, and yet they never really truly fit into a place. Sukuna reigns as the "King of Curses" and does as he pleases but he just never seem truly satisfied to me. It's like he's a part of himself is missing. That doesn't mean I'm excluding Uraume. Uraume is Sukuna's bestie, for real. Think about how he treats others. He's all for a good fight and impressed by some. If someone or something annoys him, he eliminates. It's a repeating cycle for him.

For Yuji, he remarks to Noritoshi that he's always been a loner. He does have friends, Megumi and Nobara, and even the upperclassmen from his previous school. Also peep the middle school flashback. The boys were discussing girls, but what was Yuji doing? Reading off to the side. He engaged in the conversation when addressed, but other than that, he is alone. Going back to Megumi and Nobara, the same episode shows Yuji going off on his own. Nobara goes shopping and Megumi was going home.

Yuji often tends to do a lot of things alone and even if it's with someone, like fighting a villain, it's not like he seeks out the help, at first. Instead, he syncs up with that person with the time comes for it.

While surrounded by people, some that do have positive relationship with, it just always seem they were missing something or someone in their lives.

What if like Maki and Mai... Nanako and Mimiko... they were meant to be twins? They seemed lonely because they did not have his twin with him?

To summarize, yeah, I'm on board with that theory. Cursed energy probably did treat the two like twins just as Mai and Maki were because... what if they were meant to be twins.

I mentioned this a while back. In this post, I wrote about what of the soul technique Yuji is going to use was the technique that Sukuna had? He seemed familiar with it. Now what if, that was a technique that could have been one Sukuna's twin was meant to have?

Just something I wanted to throw out there.
