Many people are curious about the reason for Sukuna's hatred of Yuji. The most interesting aspect of Jujutsu Kaisen is their confrontation.
Chapter 248 caused a stir among fans with the sudden appearance of Yuta Okkotsu, but Sukuna's monologue about ideals was no less interesting. This theme runs through the entire series and the chapter's monologue reveals new interesting details.
Two halves of the same character
Sukuna and Yuji have been connected since the beginning of the series — in fact, they define the entire plot of Jujutsu Kaisen. To save his friends from the curse, Yuji eats Sukuna's finger and the King of Curses becomes an integral part of him.
Yuji's case is unique — unlike many other sorcerers, he can hold Sukuna and has become his vessel. This fact alone becomes a reason for hatred, as Sukuna does not get the freedom he desires after being imprisoned for so long.
There is a strong antagonism between them from the beginning — both characters want to get rid of each other and both make everyone's life more difficult. Yuji often interrupts Sukuna's actions, and the King of Curses shows up at the most inopportune moments to wreak havoc.
The reason for the hatred could be the big difference in their personalities — Yuji is a kind and compassionate person, willing to help those in need, while Sukuna is very selfish and lacks the usual feelings of ordinary people.
Different ideals
The more obvious reason, mentioned several times throughout the story, is the difference in the characters' ideals. Sukuna has no big goals or deep philosophies, he just lives and does what he wants. Battles are a way for Sukuna to pass the time until he dies.
The King of Curses does not accept values. During his battle with Jogo, Sukuna said that the reason Jogo was defeated was because of his pursuit of ideals. If Jogo would just destroy everything in his path, he could easily reach the Gojo level.
Sukuna hates Yuji because he refutes his views like no one else. The King of Curses has believed all his life that only selfishness makes one stronger, not the desire to help others. Yuji is not made stronger by egoism, but by the will to defeat all the villains and save the ones he loves.
