1
Have you ever wondered, could adult Yuji stop the Shibuya incident?
2
Well, in this timeline, that's exactly what we're about to find out.
3
Our story begins with Yuji fast asleep,
4
but suddenly, he opens his eyes and realizes something feels off.
5
The date in front of him reads October 31st,
6
the exact day the Shibuya incident began.
7
Somehow, Yuji has been sent back to the very moment everything started.
8
Now, technically, we could have started this timeline with Yuji arriving one day before Shibuya.
9
But if that happened, Yuji would simply warn everyone and stop the entire incident before it even begins.
10
That would make things way too easy.
11
So to make things more interesting,
12
this story begins at the exact same moment the original timeline starts.
13
But before we dive in,
14
there are a couple of important rules to keep in mind.
15
First, Yuji still has all of his memories and powers from the future.
16
He already knows everything that's about to happen.
17
Second, when it comes to Sukuna,
18
we'll assume the situation is the same as it was in
19
the original timeline meaning Yuji currently has the same number of
20
Sukuna fingers inside him as he did at this point in the story.
21
With that said, let's see what happens when adult Yuji gets a second chance to stop the Shibuya incident.
22
The story begins exactly where Yuji originally stepped into action.
23
The first enemy in his path is the Grasshopper Curse,
24
the same one that once challenged him with its ridiculous questions about intelligence.
25
But this time, things go very differently.
26
Yuji doesn't even bother taking a fighting stance.
27
With both hands casually in his pockets, he steps forward and in a single instant,
28
the curse is completely obliterated.
29
One slash.
30
Fight over.
31
Yuji immediately realizes something important.
32
He has no time to waste.
33
His main priority is saving Gojo.
34
Without hesitation, he rushes toward the area where Gojo was sealed,
35
but when he finally reaches the location, his heart sinks.
36
According to the official timeline,
37
Gojo was sealed at 9.26 PM,
38
and the moment Yuji enters Shibuya,
39
the clock reads 9.27 PM.
40
Even though the grasshopper curse was defeated in barely a second,
41
Yuji was already too late.
42
Knowing he can't undo Gojo's ceiling now,
43
Yuji focuses on the next objective,
44
making sure no one else gets hurt.
45
Thank you.
46
But unlike before, Yuji has no intention of fighting him.
47
Instead, Yuji calmly tells him the truth,
48
that Choso is actually his older brother.
49
Naturally, Megumi and Ino are standing there completely confused,
50
wondering what kind of conversation this even is.
51
But as Yuji explains everything,
52
something begins to happen inside Choso's mind.
53
Fragments of memories start flooding back,
54
the same strange memories he experienced in the original timeline.
55
And then the realization hits him.
56
Yuji really is his brother.
57
With that misunderstanding resolved, the group immediately moves toward their next target,
58
helping Maki against Dagon.
59
By the time they reach the battlefield,
60
Dagon has already activated his domain expansion.
61
However, with Megumi present, they are able to break inside the domain.
62
In the original timeline, this is where Toji Zenon suddenly appeared and completely overwhelmed Dagon.
63
But in this timeline, Yuji takes that role.
64
The moment he steps inside the domain,
65
the fight becomes completely one-sided.
66
Yuji tears through Dagon's attacks,
67
overwhelming the special grade curse with raw power and speed.
68
Instead of struggling like before,
69
Yuji simply bullies Dagon, dominating him from start to finish.
70
And to end it all,
71
Yuji fires off piercing blood, completely finishing the curse.
72
When the domain collapses, Maki and Megumi stand there in shock,
73
barely able to believe what they just witnessed.
74
At the same time, they're relieved.
75
The fight that once pushed them to their limits ended in seconds.
76
But deep down, Megumi can't shake the feeling that something about Yuji is very different.
77
And yes, for the sake of this timeline,
78
we're just going to ignore the fact that Yuji somehow looks 6'3 now.
79
After defeating Dagon, the group quickly regroups with Nanami and Nobara.
80
For a brief moment, it almost feels like things are under control.
81
But that calm doesn't last long,
82
because standing in front of them is Jogo.
83
The moment Yuji sees him, his expression changes completely.
84
Rage begins to boil inside him.
85
Yuji remembers exactly what Jogo did in the original timeline,
86
force-feeding him Sukuna's fingers, which led to Sukuna awakening and causing the horrifying Shibuya massacre.
87
Just seeing Jogo standing there is enough to bring all of that anger back,
88
and Jogo, unaware of what he's dealing with,
89
is still following the exact same plan as before.
90
His goal is simple, feed Yuji ten fingers and convince Sukuna to join their side.
91
Now for anime-only viewers, you might be thinking, Jogo is insanely strong.
92
How is Yuji supposed to beat him.
93
Well, without spoiling too much, let's just say this.
94
Adult Yuji is on a completely different level.
95
In this timeline, Yuji has lived through decades of battles and experience.
96
He's essentially an 86-year-old Yuji in terms of combat knowledge and power.
97
To put it simply, this version of Yuji might even be capable of fighting both Sukuna and Gojo at the same time.
98
So Jogo picked the worst possible opponent.
99
Back to the scene.
100
Jogo suddenly moves, rushing toward Maki,
101
planning to burn her just like he did in the original timeline.
102
But before the flinkies appear,
103
Yuji steps forward and grabs Jogo's arm midair.
104
Everything freezes.
105
With his other hand casually pointing toward Jogo's face,
106
Yuji quietly says one word.
107
Dismantle.
108
In the next instant, Jogo is cooked,
109
completely shredded before he even realizes what happened.
110
Everyone standing there, Nanami, Nobara,
111
Megumi, and Maki, are just staring in disbelief.
112
What the heck is happening?
113
This is not the Yuji they know.
114
Yuji simply smirks and says,
115
Don't worry, I'll explain everything later.
116
And right on cue, Haruta appears.
117
But honestly, there's no need to explain what happens next.
118
Let's just say Haruta's luck finally runs out.
119
With those threats gone, Yuji starts thinking about the biggest remaining problem, Mahito.
120
In the original timeline, Mahito caused countless deaths and suffering.
121
Yuji knows that if he lets Mahito roam free again,
122
the damage could be catastrophic.
123
So this time, Yuji decides to handle it alone.
124
He tells Megumi that he needs to take care of something important and leaves the group behind.
125
Soon enough, he finds Mahito.
126
And if you're wondering whether Mahito stands even the slightest chance,
127
sorry, but this fight is completely one sided.
128
Yuji doesn't even try to end it quickly.
129
Instead, he plays with Mahito, completely overwhelming him.
130
Mahito quickly realizes something terrifying.
131
There is absolutely no way he can win this fight.
132
Panicking, Mahito tries to escape,
133
but Yuji simply slices off his arms and legs,
134
leaving him helpless on the ground.
135
As Yuji slowly walks closer,
136
Mahito looks up in pure fear.
137
Yuji leans down and calmly says, Remember the name?
138
Yuji Itadori, and then, Black Flash.
139
Yuji slams Mahito's face straight into the ground.
140
This is the first moment in the entire incident where Yuji actually puts a bit of effort into the fight.
141
But before Yuji can finish things completely,
142
two new figures arrive, Kenjaku and Uraome.
143
At the same time, Megumi and the others also catch up to Yuji.
144
Kenjaku, being the genius strategist he is, immediately understands the situation.
145
One look at Yuji is enough for him to realize something terrifying.
146
He cannot win this fight.
147
So instead of fighting, Kenjaku quickly absorbs Mahito,
148
who is barely alive, using cursed spirit manipulation.
149
His plan is simple, escape.
150
But Yuji instantly moves to stop him.
151
Before he can reach Kenjaku,
152
Uraume jumps in his path.
153
Yuji barely even looks at him.
154
Who the heck do you think you are?
155
Yuji says coldly.
156
And then, Black Flash.
157
Yuji slams a devastating punch directly into Uraume's face,
158
launching him over 10 kilometers away in a single hit.
159
Now there's only one enemy left.
160
Kenjaku.
161
All the other sorcerers watching this unfold are completely stunned.
162
Who is this monster?
163
This can't be the Yuji we know.
164
Kenjaku desperately tries to escape with the prison realm.
165
But just as he's about to vanish,
166
Yuji calmly says, Domain expansion.
167
Kenjaku freezes.
168
Yuji.
169
Has a domain expansion?
170
Kenjaku tries to fight back.
171
But it's completely useless.
172
Inside the domain, adult Yuji is unstoppable.
173
Yuji begins spamming black flashes,
174
landing blow after blow without giving Kenjaku even a second to breathe.
175
And to finish it all,
176
Yuji unleashes a massive dismantle,
177
cutting Kenjaku down for good.
178
The battlefield finally falls silent,
179
Yuji calmly walks forward and picks up the prison realm.
180
At this point, the timeline almost looks perfect.
181
Yuji managed to defeat every major villain involved in the Shibuya incident.
182
Mahito is gone.
183
Jogo is gone.
184
Kenjaku is defeated.
185
Even Uraume was completely taken out of the fight.
186
Most importantly, the Shibuya massacre never happens in this timeline.
187
In the original story, thousands of innocent people lost their lives and countless sorcerers were severely injured.
188
But this time, because of Yuji's knowledge and overwhelming power,
189
almost every disaster was prevented before it could even begin.
190
Nanami survives.
191
Nobara survives.
192
Maki survives.
193
Megumi never faces the trauma he went through in the original timeline.
194
Compared to the horrifying chaos we saw before,
195
this version of Shibuya feels almost like the best possible outcome.
196
It truly feels like Yuji saved everyone.
197
but there is still one very important problem left.
198
And if you've been paying attention,
199
you probably already know who it is.
200
Gojo Satoru.
201
Even though Yuji defeated the villains and prevented the massacre,
202
Gojo is still trapped inside the prison realm.
203
And at first, this might not sound like a huge issue.
204
Some of you might be thinking,
205
well, they'll just unseal Gojo the same way they did in the original timeline.
206
But the situation here is actually far more complicated.
207
In the original story, Gojo was finally freed with the help of a sorcerer known as Angel.
208
Angel possessed a very rare ability that could extinguish cursed techniques,
209
which made it possible to break the seal of the prison realm.
210
However, there's a major catch.
211
Angel only appears because of the culling game.
212
And in this timeline, Kenjaku is already dead.
213
That means the entire culling game would never happen.
214
No culling game means no reincarnated sorcerers,
215
which means Angel never appears.
216
And without Angel, there is no known way to open the prison realm.
217
So ironically, even though Yuji saved nearly everyone and stopped the Shibuya disaster,
218
Gojo would remain sealed forever.
219
Which means this timeline still isn't truly perfect.
220
So to fix this problem,
221
we need to slightly adjust one small moment earlier in the story.
222
When Kenjaku was trying to escape from Yuji,
223
instead of simply running away,
224
he decides to activate the culling game right then and there as a desperate last move and surprisingly,
225
Yuji allows it to happen.
226
Because remember, this is adult Yuji.
227
He already knows the future.
228
He understands that the only way to eventually free Gojo is through the chain of events that leads them to Angel.
229
So Kenjaku activates the Culling Game in his final moments,
230
setting the process in motion.
231
After that, the rest of the battle plays out the same way we described earlier.
232
Kenjaku is still defeated, Yuji still picks up the Prison Realm,
233
and the sorcerers move forward knowing that the culling game has already begun.
234
As time passes, the sorcerers eventually locate Angel,
235
just like in the original timeline.
236
Angel uses her cursed technique to extinguish the seal.
237
The prison realm finally opens,
238
and at long last, Gojo Satoru returns.
239
Now think about this timeline for a moment.
240
Gojo is alive and free.
241
The Shibuya massacre never happened.
242
Nanami survives.
243
Nobara survives.
244
The strongest villains were eliminated early.
245
In other words, this might actually be the best possible outcome for the Jujutsu world.
246
And that finally answers the question we started this video with.
247
Could adult Yuji stop the Shibuya incident?
248
The answer is yes.
249
Not only could he stop it,
250
he could completely rewrite it.
251
And that's it for today's video.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
