Something i love about the apothecary diaries is what the author makes of the late emperor's character. Because Natsu Hyuuga made him a complex character rather than a one dimensional villain and still made sure we would never forget his crimes

Yes, he is a beautiful man, with mental health issues and either PTSD autism or OCD. He is a marital rape victim. But even with all that he is NOT your blorbo. He is a pedophile, he destroyed the lives of countless girls who were all forced to stay imprisoned in the rear palace for the rest of their lives. He was under the control of his mother and scared of adult women but he still made the conscious choice to rape hundreds of prepubescent girls. He is a victim in some ways, but the sheer number of victims HE created is never forgotten even when we explore the complexity of his character.

So many male characters' crimes are forgiven because they were handsome or tragic. Natsu Hyuuga doesn't allow her readers to do that.

reblog if you have skilled writer friends and you're damn proud of them

no offense but two characters running from the authorities and then one of them pulls the other in a dark, small alley to shake them off and they’re both breathing hard and there’s not much space there and they’re looking at each other while trying to hold back chuckles and one of them brings their finger to their lips playfully in a ‘shhh’ motion while smirking and oh no now they’re looking at one another’s lips and one of them whispers “i think the coast is clear now. we could leave.” and the other says “yeah. we could.” but they’re still looking at the other person’s lips and neither make a move to go and they can feel each other’s breath against their skin and. y eah

YutaMaki all canon evidence! Read this if you lack knowledge about Yutamaki. Why they have development and not a lackluster.

Yutamaki deniers and Yutamaki defenders, take note!

If you’re wondering about Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin ending up together, Im here to show you why many people believe in YutaMaki and why the evidence strongly supports it. There is no headcanon, there are numerous hints throughout Jujutsu Kaisen that point toward their romantic potential. I will list them them down here, using only canon source material. I will also list down counter argument that denies Yutamaki endgame.

1. Hints from Jujutsu Kaisen 0

Even in JJK 0, there were clear signs of YutaMaki being set up.

Panda ships them. Panda first teased Yuta about Maki, showing that he sees potential in them. One example is when he asks Yuta what kind of boob size he likes, and Yuta answers, “Big ones.” Panda immediately cheers Maki on, implying she has a chance. Another moment is when Maki playfully hits Yuta on the head, and Panda blushes and giggles at them like a shipper watching their OTP interact. Maki, confused, asks Panda why he’s laughing.

Maki’s only blush in the series is because of Yuta. During their classroom scene, Yuta praises Maki, and she acts like a tsundere, clearly touched by his words. When she leaves the room, she blushes, something she doesn’t do for anyone else in the entire series.

Rika’s jealousy and Yuta’s protective reaction. After Geto injures Maki and the others, Yuta heals them, but he’s especially concerned about Maki. Rika, jealous, snatches Maki’s unconscious body and shakes her, yelling, “It’s not fair! It’s not fair! Always thinking of you! Always thinking of you!” Yuta, visibly angry, scolds Rika, saying, “What are you doing, Rika?! She saved my life! Hold her gently, like a butterfly or a flower!” This moment is significant. it shows that Yuta deeply cares for Maki, to the point where Rika, who represents his deep emotions, feels threatened. It's also been months since he's been with his classmates with the real rika so during those times, Rika watched Yuta and Maki interact in a way that made Rika jealous, Although he is close with all his classmates, it should be a coincidence why Rika would specifically target Maki. It is worth reconsidering the reason behind her actions.

2. Gege Akutami’s Interviews and Official Hints

When asked, "Will Yuta like another girl other than Rika?" Gege responded, “I'm sure he will from now on.” Note that Gege included "from now on" hinting that he already had it in mind, and who could that be? Who is the only girl Yuta is close to at this point? Maki.

When asked how Maki’s view of Yuta has changed, Gege replied, “From an annoying beansprout to an incredible beansprout.” This shows clear character development in her perception of him.

When asked, “Who is Maki’s first love?” Gege replied, “I don’t know,” but placed a manga panel of Panda shipping YutaMaki right next to the question. Coincidence? Probably not.

3. Light Novel Evidence (approved by Gege)

The JJK 0 light novel gives even deeper insight into Yuta and Maki’s feelings.

Yuta is shown admiring Maki, thinking:

"To Yuta, Maki is like the shining star in the winter sky."

This is nothing romantic for them but

This kind of poetic description looked a bit romantic in perspective. It also enhanced their chemistry.

After their conversation, Maki feels warmth in her chest and blushes, recalling his words.

There’s also an interesting parallel:

Yuta’s thoughts on Rika’s spirit disappearing: “Rika’s body became more and more transparent, the form that had been imprinted in his childhood memories began to melt like snow under the winter sun.”

Yuta’s thoughts on Maki: “Like the shining star in the winter sky.”

The winter imagery is a deliberate connection, suggesting Yuta sees Maki in a way similar to how he once viewed Rika.

4. Anime Q&A Hint

In a Q&A segment where the girls (and gojo) were asked about their type, Maki answered, “Someone who is stronger than me.”

Who is the strongest sorcerer alive by the end of the manga? Yuta. And Maki knows Yuta is stronger than her.

5. Yuta and Maki’s Bond in the Main Series

-before Yuta appears, Yutamaki was foreshadowed. Megumi introduces Maki by saying she’s rough with others, but Panda, blushing a little, adds that she’s much softer when she’s with Yuta. This suggests Maki treats Yuta differently from everyone else.

-When Yuta finally reunites with Maki after a long time, his first words to her are, “Are you okay? Can you move?” showing his immediate concern for her well-being.

-Maki is the one who reassures Yuta that he’s stronger than Hakari. Given that Maki specifically said her type is someone stronger than her, this is a meaningful statement.

-Maki comforts Yuta after Gojo’s death. She places a hand on his shoulder when he’s in deep distress, showing emotional support.

-Maki is the only one who visibly showed strongly opposing Yuta’s self-sacrificing nature. Even though his friends also oppose him, Maki is the only one who voiced it to him. She stresses about him risking his life and argues against it multiple times, showing how much she cares.

-After the final battle, Maki lectures Yuta for being worthless (actually more like risking his life that he almost died)

Yuta, kneeling with his head bowed and even tearing up, apologizes to Maki, something he hasn’t done to anyone else except Rika.

Maki yells at him, worried despite her tough demeanor.

I'll also quote during that scene:

Maki: "I'm not trying to blame Yuta, I got hit by multiple blackflashes! But this guy... ugh! nevermind."

Yuta: "??"

Panda and Inumaki giggle at them, as if they know she’s being a tsundere.

You see, This scene shows that Maki was really worried about him because he almost died.

-The last panel of Yuta shows him walking with his classmates, but he’s looking at Maki and smiling stupidly.

6. The Final Illustration and Epilogue

After the last chapter, Gege released an illustration of Yuta and Maki together, with Maki side-hugging Yuta while they both smile.

In the epilogue (JJK year 2080), Panda meets two children:

The grandson looks like Maki (or another Zen’in), with a clear resemblance.

The granddaughter looks like Yuta and wears Yuta and Rika’s ring necklace.

Panda directly calls them Yuta’s grandkids and says about the granddaughter, “She has a bad personality.”

Maki once said, “I have a bad personality.” in jjk 0. So The granddaughter’s personality seems to mirror Maki’s.

This heavily implies that these are Yuta and Maki’s descendants. Gege could have easily drawn random kids, but instead, he made sure one resembled a Zen’in and the other resembled Yuta, making the connection almost undeniable. Gege drew the grandkids for a reason.

7. Yuta’s Character Theme: Love

Yuta’s entire character revolves around love. He’s not the type to move on quickly or start a relationship with someone random, he deeply values strong bonds. Geto once called him a womanizer, but Yuta refuted it, saying, “How rude! It is pure love.” If he were to end up with an unknown NPC woman, it would completely contradict his character theme.

8. Jujutsu Kaisen Is a Shonen Series. Gege Doesn’t Care About Making Ships Canon for Fanservice

Let’s be real. Jujutsu Kaisen is a shonen battle manga, not a romance series. Gege Akutami isn’t interested in writing love stories or confirming ships just to satisfy fans. If they were, we would’ve seen explicit romances like in other series that cater more to shipping.

Gege barely focuses on romance in the story. The only “confirmed” couples are ones that existed before the story (Toji & Megumi’s mom) or happen entirely off-screen (Jiji & Yuji’s mom). semi-canon ships but less screen time (Mehamaru & Miwa ) and implied (Hakari & Kirara) , they all weren't focused enough so it should be the same way with Yutamaki.

That’s why most relationships in JJK, romantic or not, are built through implication rather than explicit statements.

Gege doesn’t care about confirming ships, especially since he purposely rushed the story. Yet, YutaMaki is one of the most developed pairings in JJK. Even though they remain friends throughout the series, their strong chemistry supports the possibility of them ending up together.

This is exactly why YutaMaki wasn’t shoved in our faces with a dramatic confession or wedding scene. Gege left hints instead of outright confirmations because that’s his style of storytelling.

Gege is more of a subtext writer than outright confirming. Yuji's mom being kenjaku wasn't stated but only visually shown, Kirara being trans wasn't stated but was visually shown in a bonus. So YutaMaki endgame not stated but visually shown would make sense. Explicitly confirming it wouldn’t matter and would be out of Gege’s writing style, especially since it’s irrelevant to the main story.

The idea that “it’s not canon unless it’s stated” ignores that JJK simply doesn’t operate that way. If Gege wanted to make an obvious fanservice couple, he would’ve done it, but he didn’t. Instead, he gave us Yuta and Maki’s bond, the implied grandkids scene, and all the subtext without spoon-feeding the conclusion.

At the end of the day, denying YutaMaki just because it isn’t “confirmed” is missing the bigger picture. Gege doesn’t care about forcing ships, but he still put in all these YutaMaki moments for a reason.

9. The "Yuta’s Grandkids Could Be Megumi’s Descendants" Theory Is Nonsense

Some people argue that Yuta’s grandkids in the epilogue must be related to Megumi instead of Maki, just because one of them looks like a Zen’in. Heres why this theory doesn’t make sense at all:

-Megumi Has Nothing to Do With Yuta’s Story

There’s no logical reason for Yuta’s grandkids to be linked to Megumi when he has nothing to do with Yuta’s personal story.

Yuta and Megumi barely have personal interactions in the manga. They respect each other as allies, but their relationship isn’t deep or significant to Yuta’s character arc.

If the epilogue was supposed to hint at a connection between Megumi’s bloodline and Yuta’s future, there would’ve been some kind of setup or foreshadowing in the main story, but there wasn’t.

-assuming Yuta and Megumi got laid by some random npc girls

Straight to the point without process Megumi ending up with some random NPC girl out of nowhere makes no sense narratively. As for Yuta, if he ended up with a random NPC girl, it would contradict his character, making him a womanizer like Geto once said to him that Yuta despised. He already developed a strong bond with Maki, so why would he need to form another one when someone already compatible with him exists?

- If Yuta’s Descendants Weren’t Maki’s, It Would Undermine His Relationship with Her

If Yuta didn’t end up with Maki, then all their moments in JJK 0, the main series, and even the bonus chapter with the grandkids would have zero payoff.

What would be the point of all the hints, their strong chemistry, Panda shipping them, the deep emotional connections, and the grandkids both resembling Yuta and Maki if they weren’t actually endgame?

Gege isn’t the type to waste character arcs like that. If Yuta’s grandkids weren’t connected to Maki, their designs wouldn’t have been so obviously linked to her.

At the end of the day, Jujutsu Kaisen doesn’t confirm ships outright, but the subtext is undeniable, the epilogue strongly implies that Yuta and Maki ended up together and had a family. People can stay in denial, but the hints are all right there.

- The Epilogue Is from Panda’s POV

The perspective of the grandkids scene was from Panda.

And who has been one of the biggest YutaMaki shippers in the entire series? Panda.

If Panda sees Yuta’s grandkids and immediately connects them to both Yuta and Maki (especially pointing out the girl’s "bad personality," which Maki literally said about herself), then there’s a reason for that.

7. Panda Being a YutaMaki Shipper Makes the Grandkids Scene Even More Significant

Why would Panda, of all characters, see these kids and immediately think of traits connected to Yuta and Maki if they weren’t their descendants? Gege didn’t just throw this in randomly.

The epilogue is from Panda’s POV, someone who has been shipping Yuta and Maki since the beginning.

The grandkids’ designs directly link them to Yuta and Maki through their appearance and personality traits.

8. "timeskip Yuta had many years to develop a relationship with some girl" is nonsense.

That statement is bullshit. Jujutsu Kaisen is a written story, not real life. Fiction follows narrative structure and character development, not random off-screen events that aren't built up in the story.

If Gege wanted to establish Yuta forming a new relationship, he would have at least hinted at it. But instead, the story had Yuta’s bond with Maki. Fiction isn’t about "realistic possibilities" it’s about what is shown, implied, and developed within the narrative. Saying "it could’ve happened off-screen" is just an excuse to ignore the evidence in the actual story.

---

Conclusion

The amount of hints and foreshadowing throughout Jujutsu Kaisen strongly suggests that Yuta and Maki were intended to be endgame. Their relationship has been built up since JJK 0, and continued to develop throughout the main series. This leads up to the epilogue, like connecting pieces of puzzles together. However, the pairing is never explicitly stated in the story, but the evidence makes it clear.

If you still don’t see the YutaMaki vision after all this… well, you just don't like the ship and you're in denial and have no reading comprehension. But at least now you know why so many fans believe they’re canon.

Btw I'm not saying Yutamaki is canon, they are actually semi-canon because they're just hinted, not confirmed.

Finally, if you read allat, then you just gained Great Yutamaki knowledge, thank you for reading.
