YujiHito

MahiIta is the Slash ship between Yuji Itadori and Mahito from the ''Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Vs. Mahito Arc
Mahito shows up during the fight between Yuji and Junpei. He restrains Yuji, and uses his abilities to transform Junpei in front of him as he wants Yuji to cut a deal with Sukuna. Mahito then laughs as Sukuna refuses to help Yuji and continues to laugh even after Junpei dies. Enraged, Yuji punches him and Mahito notices that Yuji is able to touch his soul and injure him. Mahito brings Yuji to the courtyard and tries to force Yuji to switch with Sukuna, but it doesn't work.

Mahito and Yuji continue to fight and Nanami shows up to attack Mahito. Mahito is repeatedly hit by both Yuji and Nanami. On the brink of death, Mahito uses his Domain Expansion to trap Nanami and separate him from Yuji. Yuji forcibly enters his Domain and Mahito's Domain collapses. Wounded, Mahito uses the last of his power to distract Yuji and escape from the situation. As he recovers in the sewer, Mahito thinks about how he'll kill Yuji next time they see each other.

Death Painting Arc
After the Kyoto Goodwill Event, Mahito is playing a board game along with Kenjaku and Choso. When he learns that Yuji is responsible for the death of Eso and Kechizu, he smiles.

Shibuya Incident Arc
After Gojo is sealed, Mahito decides he will kill Yuji and splits himself in two. Mahito kills Nanami in front of Yuji and they fight. Yuji asks why Mahito can kill so easily, to which Mahito replies that Yuji is Mahito. Mahito also says that Yuji wouldn't be able to defeat him until he accepts that. Yuji says that he will make sure those are Mahito's last words. Mahito thinks about how he has to manipulate himself to be tougher since his standard use of Idle Transfiguration won't work against Yuji. As the fight progresses, Mahito compliments Yuji, and says that they will be moving on to round two. Mahito then takes a more tactical approach and transfigures another human to create a sword as he wants to break Yuji's mind.

Elsewhere, the second Mahito comes across Nobara and Mahito figures that Nobara is a friend of Yuji's. He thinks that killing her will break Yuji. Mahito flees from Nobara and brings her to Yuji's location. He then transfigures Nobara's face, shocking Yuji. Mahito uses Black Flash on Yuji who is unable to fight back. Mahito then gleefully beats Yuji while screaming about his naivety and claims this battle is a fight between two incompatible species and truths.

Using Black Flash one more time gives Mahito an understanding of his true soul and his true form. Mahito transforms and decides that killing Yuji will mark the start of his true life. Yuji knocks Mahito out of his true form and a terrified and desperate Mahito tries to use more of his transfigured humans only to find out that he has run out. Yuji looks down on him and promises to kill him: no matter how much time passes or how many times they are reborn, Yuji promises to kill Mahito again and again with no need to justify his actions as anything but his nature. Yuji admits Mahito was right and that they are the same. Panicked, Mahito runs away from Yuji.
