Yuta speaks to Rika about the cursed Rika. in a child’s voice It is amazing to see how she feels about him and kills bullies without seeming guilty. The combination of her terrifying appearance with her innocent, yet sometimes capricious, child-like personality makes it one of my favorite memories. Jujutsu Kaisen Never cursed spirits.
