As the final battle between Sukuna and the remaining sorcerers unfolds in the pages of Jujutsu Kaisen, the roster of available fighters dwindles, leaving few capable of stepping into the fray.

One such sorcerer remaining on the sidelines is Iori Utahime, a semi-first-grade sorcerer and the supervisor of the Kyoto branch of Jujutsu High. While she may not have been prominently featured at the series’ outset, Utahime played a role in the dramatic entrance orchestrated by Gojo in his confrontation with Sukuna.

Despite their proximity, Utahime harbors a deep-seated resentment towards Gojo, viewing him as arrogant and overbearing. However, speculation arises among fans regarding the true nature of her feelings towards the enigmatic and powerful sorcerer.

Some wonder if her outward animosity towards Gojo conceals a hidden affection, leading to speculation about the potential for a deeper connection between them.

Exploring Iori Utahime’s Interactions and Potential Romantic Connections in Jujutsu Kaisen

Iori Utahime, a semi-grade cursed sorcerer affiliated with the Kyoto branch of Jujutsu High, made her debut in episode 14 of the anime and chapter 32 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Since her introduction, she has consistently been depicted wearing a Miko outfit, akin to a yukata.

In her youth, Utahime had an unblemished face but later acquired a scar for reasons undisclosed. Apart from her interactions with Gojo Satoru, she exudes a kind and composed demeanor, demonstrating a genuine desire to aid her students and impart knowledge to them.

While Jujutsu Kaisen isn’t primarily centered around romance, Utahime’s jovial nature has led her to engage with various male colleagues and superiors throughout the series.

Utahime’s interactions with her colleague Kento Nanami, a first-grade sorcerer, have been limited, suggesting no romantic interest between them. Similarly, her interactions with Haibara, who met an early demise, were minimal.

Utahime and Kusakabe, another instructor at Jujutsu High, were seldom seen together during Gojo’s Past arc, indicating no significant relationship between them.

Of the sorcerers, Gojo Satoru and Suguru Geto spent the most time with Utahime during their student days. While Geto didn’t interact with Utahime much, he occasionally joined Gojo in antics involving her. However, this alone doesn’t suggest any romantic connection between Geto and Utahime.

Lastly, Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer, shared a long-standing association with Utahime, starting from their days as students. Despite their shared history, Utahime harbors a distinct animosity towards Gojo, stemming from his past pranks and bothersome behavior.
