Jujutsu Kaisen is at an interesting point right now. As of chapter 259 of the official manga, the series is at its darkest point, with nearly all the heroes either killed or injured to the point of being no longer on the scene, and the beloved Choso is the latest fan-favorite character to meet his end at the hands of the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.

However, this final chapter also contains a surprise revelation: Aoi Todo is back in action. While many fans fail to see how Todo and Yuji's team can do anything for Sukuna when everyone else has failed, there may be more to this upcoming confrontation than most fans of the series realize. So, let's analyze how Yuji and Todo's dream team stands a better chance against Sukuna than most people believe.

Where Has Everyone Been?

Todo's last appearance in Jujutsu Kaisen The manga was in the final moments of the Shibuya Incident arc, when he assisted Yuji in the battle against Mahito. Although Yuji was on death's door against the Special Grade Curse, it was only due to Todo's interference and motivation that Yuji found the strength within himself to rise up and defeat Mahito.

What kind of woman is your type?!

However, the end of this fight resulted in Todo losing one of his hands and, effectively, his Boogie Woogie Cursed Technique. For a long time, his fate remained uncertain, as his last appearance in the manga before chapter 259 was over 110 chapters ago. However, it was revealed that Todo had been hiding all this time until his involvement in the fight against Sukuna was necessary, something not even Yuji knew.

How can they defeat Sukuna?

Todo's return also brought another surprise reveal: his Boogie Woogie Cursed Technique isn't dead after all. At the very least, this means Yuji and Todo's incredible teamwork is back. While it's a stretch to say it'll be enough to defeat the King of Curses, it's powerful and disorienting enough to defeat even very strong opponents.

In any other situation, Sukuna would eviscerate both fighters in a heartbeat, but seeing how weak and tired he is from all the battles he's fought gives the heroes the best fighting chance possible. At this stage, Sukuna still lacks his Reverse Cursed Technique, has exhausted his Domain Expansion, depleted his Divine Flames, and has low Cursed Energy reserves compared to before. Yuji, though weakened, still has the energy to keep going, and Todo is a new fighter, which gives them an advantage.

Yuji is now much stronger than he was against Hanami or Mahito, so Todo's disorienting combat style will work much better against Sukuna, who has fewer ways to defend himself against him. Now, beyond simple punches and kicks, Yuji has become much more adept at the Black Flash technique, which he will be able to perform more effectively and frequently with the help of Todo's Boogie Woogie.

Furthermore, Shoko's involvement in this final arc, as well as the importance of her technique, has yet to be demonstrated. Many believe she is healing everyone else who fell in the battle against the King of Curses and perhaps even resurrecting Gojo in some way. By somehow healing all the fallen sorcerers and returning to the battle to aid Todo and Yuji, the fight is definitely winnable.

What is the probability of this happening?

In reality, most of this is just wishful thinking. While the chances of Yuji and Todo defeating Sukuna aren't exactly zero, they're so slim that they might as well be. Gege Akutami has received a lot of criticism for the Shinjuku Showdown arc since its inception, with fans saying it became too repetitive with Sukuna easily killing everyone.

So far, there have been objectively stronger fighter combinations, like Yuta and Yuji, who haven't been able to take down Sukuna, so Yuji and Todo doing so wouldn't make much sense. The most likely outcome of this battle may just be seeing the King of Curses kill Todo. In Chapter 259, Todo even admits that Sukuna knows how Boogie Woogie works due to his time in Yuji's body, and that they share a special bond that could make Sukuna aware of Yuji's tactics.

All things considered, Yuji and Todo probably won't be the ones to take down Sukuna for good. However, that doesn't mean they don't have a chance, as their teamwork is some of the best in the entire series, and Sukuna remains seriously injured.
