Seems too obvious for one of them to be lying and the other telling the truth so I’m guessing either both are lying or somehow both telling the truth.
And I guess this new guy’s power has something to do with receipts?

If Higuruma and Itadori are going to fight for real, I wonder if Itadori will inadvertently manifest Sukuna's cursed techniques which was hinted to be something that would happen the longer he and Sukuna share a body. Itadori seems to be bound for some sort of power up soon and this could be an opportunity. It would also be a convenient way for that lightning using past sorcerer to identify Sukuna if he happens to see the two fighting though I'm not sure if he's in the same area.

It seems like too obvious of a setup though

I think if Yuji was going to manifest Sukuna's techniques in battle, it would have been during his fight with Mahito. I honestly don't think it's going to happen anymore and Gojo was just wrong.

Also man Higuruma really went through a break and appears to still be spiraling down.

That's a fair point. Just wondering where he's going to go from here since the twin braid guy commented that he seems a lot stronger and more in control of his cursed energy while they were hiding out together.

nah that was basically the end of the first act, yuji doing sukuna's stunts is a bigger power spike than that.

Yuji is unlikely to encounter opponents stronger then Mahito for a while. Even though Yuji had the advantage of Mahito's most dangerous moves not working on him, Mahito was still strong enough anyway that Yuji required the help of another powerful Sorcerer to defeat him.

The story has been going long enough and Sukuna already has 75% of the Fingers, so I don't think Yuji will get any of his Techniques. Yuji is already noted as having gotten stronger with his energy manipulation and is on the level of a 1st Grade Sorcerer that I don't think he needs it anyway.

oh yea hes totally smashing their faces in next chapter, but I thought it was funny that she had a scorpion design and he "trusted" her to take him somewhere and it reminded me of that parable.

Amai is still hiding something from Yuji though. Wonder if this might be a trap to get Higuruma tired out from fighting Yuji so Amai's friends can take him out

It was heavily implied that all but the first death painting are Kenjaku's biological children, Choso and his brothers I think come from the first three of nine.

Yes, it was confirmed that he was the big bad's son when Yuji's buds got warped out of the zone. As far as we know, the paintings were a...limited series, I guess, though he is a sibling. Whether or not he did anything special to Yuji, we don't know, we can only guess.

Yuji seems to be his literal son from when he was in a woman’s body while his “siblings” are curse human hybrids with his blood mixed in.

I assume Yuji must be genetically modified at least considering he was ridiculously strong even before eating Sukuna

Jujutsu Kaisen Zero is the one part of the manga I haven't read so I can't wait for the movie. Though even having read the manga, if S2 keeps the quality of S1, I definitely am going to keep watching the anime too.
