Feats of Strength

Yuji Itadori

Durability: Tanked hundreds of fatal slashes inside Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine, healing through them in real-time.

Striking Power: Landed eight consecutive Black Flashes on Ryomen Sukuna, severely weakening the King of Curses.

Endurance: Fought through catastrophic physical trauma, missing chunks of flesh, and severe blood loss without his combat performance dropping.

Denji

Endurance (Perpetual Motion Machine): Fought the Eternity Devil continuously for three days and three nights without sleep, drinking its blood to heal his injuries while cutting it apart.

Durability: Survived being set on fire, blown up by the Bomb Devil, and impaled multiple times.

Tactical Insanity: Defeated Makima by hiding in a pile of corpses and using a chainsaw made from the Blood Devil's blood to bypass her regeneration.

How the Battle Plays Out

This is a gruesome, hyper-violent battle of attrition between two teenagers who refuse to die.

At the start, Denji’s chainsaws give him a distinct lethal advantage in close quarters. Because Denji brawls messily and relies on trading blows, he will inevitably cut Yuji deeply. However, every time Denji spills Yuji's blood, he can drink it to fuel his own regeneration, making him incredibly difficult to put down through standard blunt force.

The tide turns because of two massive factors: Martial Arts and Soul Hax.

Yuji is a vastly superior hand-to-hand fighter. He can easily read Denji's wild, uncoordinated swings, parry them, and retaliate with devastating Black Flashes. While Denji can regenerate from broken bones and crushed organs, Yuji's punches directly strike the soul. Because Denji is a hybrid (a human fused with a devil), Yuji's soul-strikes would attack the very boundary connecting Denji to Pochita.

Furthermore, Yuji possesses a hard counter to Denji's blood-drinking: Shrine. Yuji can launch invisible soul-dismantles from a distance, carving Denji up without getting into chainsaw range. If Denji manages to close the distance, Yuji can open his Domain Expansion. Inside the domain, Denji would be subjected to unavoidable soul-cleaving slashes. Since Denji cannot regenerate his soul just by drinking blood, he would be systematically dismantled.

The Verdict

Winner: Yuji Itadori

Denji's chaotic fighting style and blood-regeneration make him a nightmare for standard fighters, but Yuji is perfectly equipped to dismantle him. Yuji's Reverse Cursed Technique allows him to heal through chainsaw wounds, while his superior martial arts allow him to control the flow of the fight. Ultimately, Yuji's ability to strike the soul bypasses Denji's physical regeneration entirely, allowing Yuji to forcibly separate Denji's consciousness from Pochita's power or simply destroy him outright with a Domain Expansion.
