<![CDATA[The original is a battle manga by Akutami Gege, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018, and is scheduled to be broadcast as a TV anime in October 2020. It is a hot-blooded battle story with many gag elements, and the content is typical of a boys' manga, but since the subject matter is "curses," there are quite a few negative words such as "kill" and "die" and grotesque scenes. The protagonist, Itadori Yuji, who has just entered high school, eats the curse "Ryomen Sukuna" after an incident. Normally, people who absorb a curse are consumed by the curse, but Itadori miraculously becomes a vessel of the curse and survives, and he then fights the curse. In fact, there is a volume called Volume 0 of "Jujutsu Kaisen" that depicts the story two years before the main story. In this volume, the past of Okkotsu Yuta, who is supposed to be overseas in the main story, and Orimoto Rika are revealed. Okkotsu's beloved and the worst cursed spirit, Rika Orimoto. Why did she become a cursed spirit? Why did an ordinary girl end up with such powerful powers? This time, we will approach the mystery of her.

Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 0 Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College

Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 0
This work depicts the events two years before the main story, and the main character is Yuta Okkotsu. Yuta, who was sentenced to death in complete secrecy, is transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College by Gojo Satoru's sole discretion. Fearing that Rika's curse would cause harm to those around him, Yuta avoids getting too close to people, but he gradually changes after meeting Maki, Inumaki, and Panda. Paired with Maki during his sorcery training, Yuta calls out to Rika himself when he's in trouble and saves Maki and her child. Taking a new step, Yuta resolves to become stronger and break Rika's curse. "Jujutsu Kaisen" is based on this short story, and it was not originally planned to be serialized. However, the short story was so well received that the serialization of "Jujutsu Kaisen" began!

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...

Death Sentence Okkotu

Secret death sentence... Have you seen this same depiction somewhere before? That's right! It was when Itadori Yuji ate Sukuna and was captured by Gojo Satoru in volume 1 of the manga! They both had their death sentences put on hold thanks to Gojo Satoru. Will the day come when two people in similar circumstances, Yuta, who is carrying the "Queen of Curses," and Itadori, who has eaten the "King of Curses," will meet? !

Ruthless Orimoto Rika

Corpse in the locker
Rika, who will not tolerate anyone harming Yuta, stuffs the four male students who are relentlessly harassing Yuta into a classroom locker. No one died, and the injuries were serious, but if four people were crammed into this small locker, they would definitely be in a folded state, and I think they would definitely die... Anyway, let's stop harming Yuta (lol)

Orimoto Rika becomes a curse due to an accident

Rika in an accident
Rika, who loved Yuta, gave him an engagement ring on his birthday and promised to marry him in the future. However, Rika died in a traffic accident with her head crushed, and her love for Yuta was so strong that she became a curse on Yuta. Even so, Rika is too scary...

The Full Picture of Rika Orimoto

The Full Picture of Rika
Rika, who is said to be a special grade cursed spirit, reveals her full picture when Yuta calls out to her for the first time. Her full manifestation in 422 seconds is so dangerous that it is said that an entire town could have disappeared, and her immense power makes it understandable why she is called the "Queen of Curses." It is unknown why Rika, who was an ordinary girl who was not from a family of magicians, became a cursed spirit with such great power, and it is said that there is currently no way to deal with it.

Special Grade Curse Master Geto Suguru's Trump Card

Geto Suguru
Geto, who is trying to build a world of sorcerers by killing all non-sorcerers, declares war on the Jujutsu Technical College. Geto, who is aware that he is inferior in terms of strength, says that his chances of winning are 30% or 20%. However, he still declared war because Geto had a trump card that would increase his chances of winning to 99%. That was to kill Yuta and get Rika. If Rika, a special-grade cursed spirit, falls into Geto's hands, the situation will change and the Jujutsu Technical College will be defeated. That's how powerful Rika is.

Orimoto Rika, Second Full Manifestation

Rika's Second Full Manifestation
Yuta is isolated due to Geto's strategy. Maki, who was nearby, finds Geto, but is brutally defeated, and Panda and Inumaki, who came to help, are also killed in return. Having lost his precious friend who changed him, Yuta is furious and calls out to Rika of his own volition, and Rika responds to his call.

Rika Orimoto, who loves Yuta too much

Jealous Rika
Yuta treats Maki, Inumaki, and Panda, who are badly injured, so as not to let them die. Rika, who is watching this, picks up Maki and explodes with jealousy. Even in this situation where there is a strong enemy, Rika's jealousy is fully open, so she must really love Yuta. Or rather, it may not matter much to Rika that there is a strong enemy. By the way, after this, Rika was scolded by Yuta and apologized profusely. It was a bit pitiful Rika (lol)

Rika Orimoto, showing her true colors!!

Rika's true colors
Yuta uses the Inumaki family's curse seal and performs a curse by imitating what he sees. Curses are advanced techniques handed down by the Inumaki family, and are not something that can be done overnight. After seeing this, Geto describes Rika's true identity as "a mass of ever-changing, bottomless cursed energy." Since he has infinite cursed energy, Yuta's cursed energy never runs out, and since it is so flexible, he can easily imitate the magic formula. Simply put, it is the strongest.

Removal of restrictions by pure love

Kissing Rika
Geto says that he was glad to have come to kill Yuta before he could master Rika, but Yuta sacrifices himself to remove Rika's restrictions. Yuta kisses Rika and asks her to lend him his strength to defeat Geto, on the condition that he gives everything to Rika. Rika accepts Yuta's love and defeats Geto with overwhelming power. After the kiss, Rika goes crazy and becomes quite insane, so please see it for yourself (lol)

The curse was lifted from Rika Orimoto, but the curse was placed on her by...

Rika is released from the curse
Yuta wins the battle against Geto. After a fierce battle, Yuuta is unconscious, but when he wakes up, he is relieved to see that his friends are still alive, and heads to Rika. The price of the overwhelming power he used to defeat Geto was to give everything he had to Rika, so he decided to die with Rika. However, at that moment, the curse was lifted, and Rika transformed from her hideous appearance back into a cute, normal girl. In fact, it wasn't Rika who put the curse on Yuta, but Yuta who put the curse on Rika. The master-servant contract was broken when Yuta, who put the curse on, gave everything to Rika, and because Rika, who was cursed, did not want to be punished, the curse was lifted and Rika was able to return to her original form.

Why did Yuta put the curse on?

Yuta who put the curse
Yuta had previously shared with Gojo Satoru the hypothesis that "maybe I put the curse on her." Gojo was interested in the story and started researching Rika and Yuta's family history. Rika was not from a family of sorcerers, but was just an ordinary girl, but Yuta was a distant relative but a descendant of Sugawara no Michizane, a super famous sorcerer! When Rika was involved in a traffic accident, Yuta didn't know what to do and simply refused to let her die. Yuta's emotions as a descendant of sorcerers became a curse and bound Rika. So Rika's unfathomable magical power was due to Yuta's bloodline.

Orimoto Rika accepts everything

Rika and Yuta embracing
Yuta realizes that he was the one who put the curse on him and blames himself. Rika gently embraces him and thanks him for keeping her by his side. Yuta is saved by her words, "I was happier than when I was alive," and Rika bids farewell to Yuta and passes away.

Is Orimoto Rika, known as the "Queen of Curses," an enemy or an ally? Summary

Rika promises marriage
What did you think?
The love between Yuta and Rika, his sudden death in an unfortunate accident, and Yuta's bloodline as a descendant of Sugawara no Michizane all came together to create the special-grade cursed spirit Orimoto Rika. Unlike other cursed spirits, she does not attack people indiscriminately. However, if Yuta is harmed, she will go on an unbelievable rampage... Since the exorcised Orimoto Rika is dead, I don't think she will appear in the main story, but she may show up somewhere.
