How Did Inumaki Lose His Arm?

Toge Inumaki lost his left arm during the Shibuya Incident arc in Jujutsu Kaisen when he was caught in the overwhelming blast of Ryomen Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine domain expansion.

The Full Story

What Happened in Shibuya

Inumaki was in the wrong place at the wrong time. While heroically helping evacuate and protect civilians from the chaos Sukuna unleashed across Shibuya, the King of Curses activated his domain expansion, Malevolent Shrine. This devastating technique unleashed countless slashing cursed energy attacks across a 140-meter radius, obliterating everything in its path.

The sheer force of Sukuna's cursed power blew off Inumaki's entire left arm in a gruesome, permanent wound. Considering that Sukuna's shockwaves killed countless civilians instantly, Inumaki was actually lucky to survive at all.

The Aftermath & Misunderstanding

Here's where things get complicated:

• In Season 2, Episode 23 (Episode 47 overall), Yuta Okkotsu meets with the jujutsu higher-ups.

• Yuta blames Yuji Itadori for Inumaki's injury, claiming it was Yuji who cut off Inumaki's arm.

• This was either a misunderstanding or a strategic lie—Yuta needed a pretext to get assigned as Yuji's executioner to actually protect him from other sorcerers.

Reality check: Sukuna's domain expansion caused the injury, not Yuji directly. Yuta's accusation was part of a larger plan to keep Yuji safe.

Key Details

Aspect| Detail

Arm Lost| Left arm 35

Current Status| Alive and active in later arcs (Culling Game) 35

Did He Get His Arm Back?

No , Inumaki did not regenerate his arm. The wound was caused by Sukuna's cursed energy, which makes it extremely difficult or impossible to heal through normal reverse cursed technique. He's later seen alive during the Culling Game arc (Chapter 220) and when Gojo is unsealed (Chapter 221), still missing his arm but otherwise functional.

TL;DR: Inumaki lost his left arm to Sukuna's devastating domain expansion during the Shibuya Incident while protecting civilians. Yuta later falsely blamed Yuji for the injury as part of a scheme to protect him. Inumaki survived but never regained his arm.
