One thing that was clarified before season 3 was released was Yuta Okkotsu's role.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Why Season 3 Will Have the Biggest Fights Yet

How does Jujutsu Kaisen aim to be bigger than the Shibuya incident? Just a huge battle royale that takes place across the country, of course.

The wizard appeared towards the end of the second season, and it seemed that he had been sent to eliminate Itadori Yuji. Based on his dialogue, it was clear that Yuta wasn't planning on holding back, meaning Yuji was in trouble. Yuta has already been heavily involved in JJK Season 3, and in the last episode, he made a rather controversial statement.

Yuta Okkotsu called Kinji Hakari stronger than him

In JJK Season 3 Episode 3, Yuta and the rest of the heroes talked to Tengen about many things, including Kenjaku, the Culling Game, and Gojo Satoru. As the discussion drew to a close, the heroes decided to form teams to tackle different problems at the same time, which would speed up the process. At one point, Maki asked Yuta to look for Kinji Hakari, another student from Jujutsu High. Yuji didn't know about Kinji Hakari, so he asked his seniors. Shockingly, Yuta replied that Kinji Hakari was a third year student at Jujutsu High who was stronger than him.

Currently, most fans don't know Kinji Hakari, so they don't know what to think of Yuta's statement, especially since the latter is heralded by many as the strongest wizard after Gojo Satoru. To alleviate the confusion, it's time to delve into Kinji Hakari's strengths and weaknesses. Once everything is laid out, viewers will have a much easier time deciding whether Kinji Hakari is more powerful than Yuta Okkotsu or not.

Who is Kinji Hakari in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Kinji Hakari is a powerful sorcerer

• Kinji Hakari excels in melee combat

• Hakari has a unique cursed energy

Before we talk about Hakari's abilities, it's worth mentioning that he is currently suspended from Jujutsu High. Like many students and teachers, Hakari disagrees with the higher ups at Jujutsu High, leading him to clash with the authorities. As a result, Hakari was suspended from school. As a result, he was given the freedom to run a fight club, where people compete in combat for money.

When it comes to fighting prowess, Hakari is easily one of the most powerful wizards in the Jujutsu Kaisen. In fact, his strength has been complimented by the likes of Gojo Satoru and Yuta Okkotsu. Gojo Satoru openly stated that Hakari, along with Yuta, has the potential to rival him. Hakari is elite in hand-to-hand combat, making it extremely difficult to overwhelm him at close range.

Moving on to combat intelligence, Hakari is great at reading his opponents. Due to years of struggle, he has developed an ability to come up with strategies on the spot. If unsure of his opponent's strength, Hakari tries to lure them into an attack, and after discerning their ability, devises a countermeasure.

Hakari's Cursed Energy is considered to have a certain “edge”, causing even blunt attacks to leave sharp pain. This trait gives Hakari a great advantage in battle, as he can use it to easily overpower his opponents. Hakari also has a domain expansion called Idle Death Gamble and an innately cursed technique called Private Pure Love Train. In battle, Hakari uses the two abilities together, but they are reserved for fighting top fighters.

Is Hakari really stronger than Yuta Okkotsu?

Yuta is superior to Hakari

To put it succinctly, Kinji Hakari is not stronger than Yuta Okkotsu. The latter was most likely respectful of his fellow student. Even Maki corrected Yuta when he made the comment. Yuta has much greater cursed energy than Hakari. In fact, he has more reserves than Gojo Satoru. Yuta also has the ability to copy his opponents' techniques, making it even more difficult to beat him. As the third season continues, the difference between their power levels will become even more apparent.
