ItaZawa

ItaZawa is the het ship between Yuji Itadori and Yuko Ozawa from the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Canon
After the Origin of Obedience event, the three first years head off on separate paths. While Yuji is gone to watch a movie, and Megumi is taken home, Nobara goes out to try a new product. While she's there, she runs into Yuko, who asks if she was in contact with Yuji.

Nobara and Yuko sit at a diner, where Yuko shows her a picture of herself and Yuji at their Junior High Graduation. Nobara notices a drastic change in Yuko's appearance, as she has lost lots of weight, and had grown a lot, too. Yuko tells Nobara that on graduation, all she got was a photo, even though she also wanted to receive his contact information too. While she's speaking, Nobara realizes that Yuko likes him 'like that'. Nobara decides to call Megumi, since he knows Yuji better than she does, and while they're waiting on him to arrive, Yuko asks Nobara if by any chance, she is also romantically interested in Yuji. Nobara responds with; "Nope! Even if the Earth and Heaven were to dance the lambada! No way!".

Megumi arrives, and Nobara asks him right away whether or not Itadori has a girlfriend. Megumi seems to catch onto the situation quick, and asks Nobara, "So it's like that?!". He continues to answer Nobara's question, and explains why he believes Yuji doesn't have a girlfriend. Yuko then asks if Megumi knows what Yuji's type in women is. Megumi replies with "Oh, right... He said something about liking tall girls". Nobara and Yuko have a very quick and excited reaction to this, and Nobara calls Yuji to the diner right away. Yuji arrives very quick, and Nobara realizes that since Yuko had such a drastic change, he might not recognize her. She begins to introduce Yuko, but Yuji was able to recognize her right away.

We receive a flashback to Yuji's junior high years, when his classmates are asking him to pick someone from the class that he likes. He decides to choose Yuko, since the way she eats and writes was very elegant. This shocks the other boys, since she didn't fit into Yuji's "Tall with a big butt" standard. It then switches to Yuko, who explains that she doesn't really like any guys other than Yuji, and that he saw something in her that even she didn't know about.

Fanon
ItaZawa is a very small ship within the fandom, since Ozawa had only appeared for one chapter. With ItaFushi and GoYuu being Yuji's largest ships and ItaZawa being a rarepair, very few people are fans of this ship. Many people have also forgotten about this chapter, since so much has happened since then. Another rival ship to ItaZawa is ItaKugi, since many people also rely on this chapter to draw ItaKugi content from it. Some see their interaction as a display of pure friendship, since Yuji was the only person who was kind to Ozawa when they were younger. Considering Yuko mentions that she normally doesn't like guys, and Yuji is an exception, some believe that she is simply grateful to Yuji for his humane approach and consideration, without being romantically attracted to him.
