The Jujutsu Kaisen franchise is often credited with introducing some of the best characters in all of modern Shonen anime. From Gojo's infectious personality to Sukuna's malevolent aura, the series is full of exceptionally powerful and lovable characters that have made this series as great as it has become.
In the midst of all this is the main character i Jujutsu KaisenYuji Itadori. Unsurprisingly, Yuji is remembered as one of the best anime protagonists of all time, and much of this has to do with the many great relationships he has had over the course of the series. So, in this article, let's go through the best friendships that Yuji has ever had.
Jujutsu Kaisen: 8 matches Yuji would lose 100%
Yuji is the main character in Jujutsu Kaisen, but there are some matches that he would definitely lose.
Megumi was Yuji's first friend ever
An old friendship
As the first Jujutsu-related personality Yuji ever met, Megumi holds a special place in the protagonist's heart. Along with Nobara, they essentially serve as the main team in the franchise, with both playing a large role in each other's story. For the first part of the series, both were closely linked, although the strength of their bond really shined towards the end.
This is because Megumi spent a significant portion of Jujutsu Kaisen's runtime to have his body become Sukuna's vessel, so saving him from his rival's clutches was Yuji's main goal in the closing parts of the series. It was directly because of Yuji's words and his soul painting powers that Megumi was able to break free and show how much they mean to each other.
Yuji And Nobara are two peas in a pod
Incredible teammates
Many would argue that Yuji and Megumi work together even better than these two, but the truth is that Yuji and Nobara get along much better because of their analogous personalities. Due to their equally exciting and erratic nature, they provide a fun and relatable dynamic that balances Megumi's dour personality perfectly.

Also, they work very well together in combat scenarios as both of their powers deal with soul damage. The best example of this was when they took on Eso and Kechizu, where Yuji and Nobara worked beautifully together and played off each other's strengths, and their teamwork was also key at the end of the Shinjuku Showdown.
Yuji and Choso have the greatest brotherhood
Blood brothers
No doubt many will be upset to find this entry anywhere but at the top of the list. This is because Yuji and Choso's relationship is considered by many to be the best in the series, as the bond of brotherhood connects them dating back centuries and plays a huge role in Choso's development into one of the series' most beloved characters.
Although they started out as bitter enemies, Choso eventually learns that he and Yuji are brothers due to the Death Painting shenanigans that Kenjaku has experienced over the centuries. After this realization, Choso devotes his life to Yuji, leading to some of the most incredible and tragic moments that fans still remember to this day as the highlight of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Yuji and Todo are brothers by choice
Besto Friendos
Todo is one of the greatest Shonen characters of all time, and his devotion to his own brother, Yuji, is one of the best aspects of Jujutsu Kaisen the story as a whole. Although they started out as enemies, a single question from Todo changed everything about their dynamic, causing Todo to imagine a lifetime with the two of them as childhood best friends.
In the end, it can be said that Todo has arguably played the biggest role in Yuji's life as he has routinely been the one to pick Yuji up when he's been at his lowest. Due to Todo's direct influence, Yuji was able to defeat two of his most important enemies, and this friendship has been so fundamental to Yuji's character that it exists to this day in Modulewith Todo acting as Yuji's greatest ally and confidant for all these decades.
Jujutsu Kaisen: All 15 domain expansions in the series, ranked
Domain expansions are the strongest applications of Cursed Energy, so let's rank all of them shown in the series.
Gojo is the most important person in Yuji's life
The best student-teacher dynamic
The anime industry is no stranger to exceptional student-teacher dynamics, though the one shared between Gojo and Yuji is arguably the best of all time. Of course, this is not a traditional friendship like the others previously listed, but Gojo always acted as a friend to Yuji while instilling the values within him to take his place.
Although Gojo always had incredibly talented and powerful students like Yuta and Megumi, it was Yuji that he confided his deepest thoughts to, and it was Yuji who saw Gojo in a different light than everyone else, which is precisely why Gojo had a beautiful conversation with his favorite student at the end of the series about how everything should be after his death. Due to Gojo singlehandedly entrusting Yuji with the very future of the Jujutsu world, it could be said that their friendship is the most important in the series.
