Yuji Itadori, who is the vessel of Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen, has already shown off two main cursed techniques. As of Chapter #257, Yuji has two confirmed techniques, and those are Blood Manipulation and Sukuna’s technique, which is called Shrine. With Blood Manipulation, he can control his own blood and use it in attacks like Convergence and Piercing Blood. 

Shrine is a cutting technique, while Dismantle is a slashing attack that specifically targets cursed spirits. Cleave is also a slashing technique that is a part of Shrine. Later, Yuji also learned the Reverse Cursed Technique, which lets him heal himself. 

Apart from that, he developed an Anti-Domain skill called Simple Domain to disable a domain's guaranteed-hit effect as well as domain expansion. Since he can inherit Sukuna’s techniques, there is another fire-based technique called Fuga in his arsenal. Although Itadori has not used it just yet, he might be able to use it.
