Spoiler Alert: The following sections of this article reveal key plot details from the recent chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Revelation of Ancestry: Unraveling the Relationship Between Sukuna And His Twin Brother Jin Itadori
Yes, you saw it right. The recent chapter of Jujutsu Kaisan has revealed that Sukuna and Jin Itadori were twins.
Sukuna draws inspiration from a demon in Japanese folklore, depicted as a conjoined twin with contrasting emotions on each face.
In the series, being a twin is considered ominous. Sukuna also had a twin but absorbed his twin’s Cursed Energy, enhancing his power by suppressing his twin’s soul.
This chapter confirms this theory, revealing that Sukuna indeed had a brother. However, the identity of this twin turned out to be remarkably surprising.
Chapter 257 of Jujutsu Kaisen reveals that Jin Itadori, the father of Yuji Itadori, was actually Sukuna’s twin brother.

As stated in the chapter, Sukuna ate/absorbed his brother in the womb because he was “hungry.”
Later, Kenjaku somehow extracted the twin’s soul and reincarnated it as Jin. Kenjaku then took over Kaori Itadori’s body to conceive Yuji with Jin.
So, in contrast, Sukuna is Yuji’s uncle, with Jin and Kenjaku being his parents and Sukuna, his father’s twin brother.
Further investigation of the story suggests that Kenjaku might have been Sukuna’s mother’s midwife. This would explain how he obtained the twin’s soul, leading to Jin’s later existence.
Sukuna’s comment about “Kenjaku does the grossest of things” likely refers to his procreating with his twin to bring Yuji into existence.
The recent revelation that Jin Itadori is Sukuna’s twin instead of Yuji is a significant development in the anime that has caught fans off guard.
This twist ties up several loose ends in the story, such as Kenjaku’s gratitude towards Sukuna for treating Yuji well and possessing Kaori Itadori’s body.
Additionally, it sheds light on why Yuji possesses such formidable potential, given his relation to Sukuna and Kenjaku.
Additional Information
- Sukuna’s survival instinct led him to consume his twin in the womb, securing his existence. However, remarkably, the twin’s soul managed to survive. After some time, this soul reincarnated into Jin Itadori, Yuji’s father.
- Jin was a tall man with short, light-colored hair and light eyes. He sported round glasses and typically wore a light long-sleeve shirt with a black collar and pants. His appearance bore a strong resemblance to his son, Yuji.
