YutaMaki

"I want to be like you. Strong and resilient. I want to be like that."

- Yuuta to Maki in Volume 0 (Chapter 0.3)

YuutaMaki is the het between Yuuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin] from the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Canon
Yuuta and Maki are both Jujutsu High second years, and met in Chapter 0.1 of Volume 0. Maki's first impression of Yuuta wasn't the best, as she believed that he was a "punk" and that she had no reason to be nice to that kind of guy, In the same chapter, Satoru Gojo puts the students in pairs for their afternoon practical class, leaving Maki and Yuuta as pairs. Maki's first reply to this was "Gah", but Yuuta responded politely with, "I'm looking forward to working with you". Maki then teases him, by saying that she would bully him too. During this interaction, she says to Yutua that Jujutsu High isn't that easy, making Maki seem a bit like a harsh and blunt person on the first impression. Gojo takes Maki and Yuuta to an elementary school to exorcise a curse and rescue the kids. Since this was Yuuta's first mission, he was inexperienced, meaning Maki had to defeat the curses, along with telling him a couple tips. During this mission, Maki gets injured in the leg, causing Yuuta to carry her out of the building. At the begging of chapter 0.2, we see Maki and Yuuta training together, which allows us to see that Maki is strict with him, but we also see that this helps Yuuta to become stronger.

In chapter 0.3, Suguru Geto praises Yuuta, but later calls Maki "The Zenin Family Failure", which bothers Yuuta a lot, and tells Geto that he won't help someone who looks down on his friends. Maki later explains to him why she is considered a "failure". After having this conversation, Yuuta praises Maki for being strong and resilient.

Fanon
The ship isn't very popular with most of the fandom preferring NobaMaki and YutaInu. Nevertheless, Volume 0 helped grow the popularity of this ship.
