Everyone is chasing the strongest units, the rarest fruits, and the most overpowered fighting styles to dominate in PvP and breeze through raids. One character that has been causing a massive stir in the community lately is Yuji. Since his addition to the game, players have been scrambling to figure out the exact steps to add this powerhouse to their roster.

In this guide, I will walk you through every single requirement, the exact location, the strategy for the boss fight, and how to maximize Yuji’s potential once you have him.

Who is Yuji in Sailor Piece?

Yuji is a Mythical-grade fighting style/unit inspired by the popular “Sorcerer” anime archetype, adapted perfectly into the nautical theme of Sailor Piece. Unlike standard swordsmen or fruit users, Yuji relies on raw physical power, often referred to as “Black Flash” mechanics within the game’s code.

Why is everyone hunting for him? Simple: Damage output and speed. In the current meta March 2026, tankiness is good, but burst damage is king. Yuji’s kit allows for incredible combo potential that can stunlock enemies and melt bosses in seconds. He isn’t just a trophy character; he is a legitimate end-game carry that can compete with the best Logia fruits in the game.

Prerequisites: What You Need Before You Start?

Don’t make the mistake of sailing to the location unprepared. I learned this the hard way. There is nothing worse than dying halfway through a quest and having to sail all the way back. Here is exactly what you need to pack before you set out on this journey.

1. Level Requirement

You need to be at least Level 350. The enemies guarding the island where Yuji is obtained are aggressive and scale with your level, but they have a minimum cap. If you are under 350, you will likely get one-shot by the mini-bosses roaming the area.

2. In-Game Currency

The NPC who starts the quest charges a hefty fee to “sense” the cursed energy. You need to have $1,500,000 on hand. This isn’t the total cost of the character, but just the entry fee. Make sure you grind a few dungeons or sell some drops beforehand.

3. Sailing Vessel

Since Yuji is located on an island in the dangerous Zone 3 waters, you need a durable ship. A basic sloop won’t cut it if you run into sea kings or player pirates. I recommend using a Galleon or a ship with at least 2,000 health points to ensure you survive the voyage.

4. Combat Gear

Bring your best stun moves. The boss fight later requires you to break the boss’s posture. Fruits like Ice or Light that offer mobility and crowd control are incredibly helpful here.

How to Obtain Yuji: Step-by-Step Guide

Now, let’s get to the main event. Follow these steps exactly, and you will unlock Yuji in no time.

Step 1: Head to “The Cursed Village”

The journey begins at The Cursed Village, located in the Second Sea (Zone 2). It is not marked on the main map, which confuses a lot of players.

Coordinates: Roughly X: 1200, Y: -450.
Landmark: Look for a large, eerie gate with purple fog swirling around it.
Navigation: Sail from the main starter port towards the north-east. You will pass a rocky arch formation; the village is just past that.

Once you dock, head to the tallest building in the village. You will find an NPC named The Sorcerer. He looks mysterious and wears a blindfold.

Step 2: Initiate the Quest

Talk to The Sorcerer. He will mention sensing “disturbances” in the sea. He will offer you the quest: “The Vessel of Strength.”

Accept the quest.
Pay the $1,500,000 fee.
He will give you a Sourcerer’s Compass. This item is crucial; it allows you to see the hidden island on your map.

Step 3: Collecting the 5 Cursed Fingers

This is the most grind-heavy part of the process. You need to find 5 Cursed Fingers scattered across the map. These are rare drops from specific enemies.

Enemies to Farm: Look for “Cursed Pirates” and “Special Curse Spirits.” These mobs spawn mostly at night in the game.
Drop Rate: The drop rate is approximately 2%. This means you might have to grind for a while.
Pro Tip: Play on a private server if you have access to VIP. This allows you to reset the server spawns quickly without waiting for public server timers.

Here are the best farming spots for the fingers:

Skull Island: High density of pirates.
Haunted Ship: Spawns curse spirits frequently.
Frozen Village: Good for late-night grinding spots.

Step 4: Finding the Hidden Island

Once you have all 5 fingers, open your inventory and use the Sourcerer’s Compass. It will point you toward Hidden Cursed Island in Zone 3.

Warning: The waters here are filled with high-level Sea Kings. Keep your cannons ready and repair kits handy.
Sail to the marked location. You will see an invisible barrier; simply sail through it, and the island will de-cloak.

Step 5: The Yuji Boss Fight

This is the final hurdle. On the island, you will find a sealed door. Interact with it using your Cursed Fingers. The boss, Mutated Yuji, will spawn.

Boss Health: Approx 150,000 HP.
Attacks to Watch Out For:
- Divergent Fist: A quick dash punch that deals massive damage. Dodge roll to the side immediately when you see him wind up.
- Black Flash: An AOE explosion. Do not be near him when his hands turn black and red.
Strategy: Keep moving. Do not trade hits. Use ranged attacks or fruit beams to whittle him down. When he is low on health (below 20%), he enters an “Enraged” mode where his speed doubles. Save your strongest ultimate moves for this phase to finish him off quickly.

Once you defeat him, he will drop the Yuji Essence. Pick it up.

Step 6: Awakening Yuji

Return to The Sorcerer at The Cursed Village. Hand him the Yuji Essence.
He will perform a ritual, and you will officially unlock the Yuji Fighting Style. A global server message might appear announcing your achievement (depending on your server settings).

Yuji’s Abilities and Moveset

Now that you have Yuji, you need to know how to use him. His moveset is designed for aggressive, close-quarters combat. Here is a breakdown of his skills:

1. Mutilate (Z Skill)

Damage: High
Cooldown: 6 seconds
Description: Yuji delivers a flurry of punches that end with a heavy uppercut. This is your main damage dealer. It has a short cooldown, so spam it in between other skills.

2. Divergent Fist (X Skill)

Damage: Medium-High
Cooldown: 8 seconds
Description: A dash punch that creates a delayed impact. This is excellent for catching rolling enemies. The timing is tricky, but once mastered, it guarantees a hit.

3. Black Flash (C Skill)

Damage: Extreme (with luck)
Cooldown: 12 seconds
Description: This is the signature move. It has a passive chance to trigger “Black Flash” mode, which boosts the damage of the current hit by 2.5x. It’s all about timing. If you hit right as another cooldown finishes, the proc rate increases significantly.

4. Shrine Conquest (V Skill – Ultimate)

Damage: Massive AOE
Cooldown: 45 seconds
Description: Yuji summons a domain-like structure that suppresses enemies and deals continuous damage. Great for crowd control in raids or PvP skirmishes.

Best Builds for Yuji (March 2026)

To get the most out of Yuji, you need to build your stats correctly. Don’t waste points on useless attributes.

The “Glass Cannon” Build (Best for PvP)

This build focuses on maximizing damage to kill enemies before they can react.

Melee: Max out (Sword and Fighting Style damage).
Defense: Put points only to survive one combo.
Fruit: Any fruit that offers stuns (e.g., Gravity) or mobility (e.g., Portal).

The “Hybrid Tank” Build (Best for Raids/Bosses)

This allows you to stay in the fight longer and tank hits for your team.

Defense: Invest heavily here (60% of points).
Melee: Remaining points go here.
Accessory: Use items that grant “Health Regeneration” or “Damage Reduction.”

Common Mistakes to Avoid In 2026

I see so many players making errors that cost them time and resources. Avoid these:

Fighting the boss without a team: While it is technically possible to solo the Mutated Yuji boss, it is incredibly difficult and time-consuming. Bring at least one friend to distract him.
Selling the Fingers: Do not accidentally sell the Cursed Fingers to a merchant. They are rare quest items, not just sellable loot. Store them safely in your bank.
Ignoring the Grind: Don’t think you can speed-run the finger collection in 10 minutes. Set aside a few hours of dedicated farming time to avoid getting frustrated.

Is Yuji Worth It in 2026?

The short answer is YES.

In the current meta of Sailor Piece, Yuji sits comfortably in the S-Tier for Fighting Styles. His damage output is consistent, his hitboxes are forgiving (meaning it’s hard to miss your attacks), and his combo potential is nearly unmatched. Compared to obtaining rare fruits which depend entirely on RNG (luck), Yuji is a guaranteed grind.

Whether you are grinding for levels, raiding with friends, or dominating PvP in the First Sea, Yuji will serve you well for months to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Yuji cost in total?

Including the initial quest fee ($1.5M), the cost of boat repairs, consumables (Potions), and potential grinding, expect to spend around $2.5 million to $3 million in total value.

Can I get Yuji if I am Level 300?

Technically, you can start the quest, but reaching the location and surviving the mobs will be nearly impossible. I strongly recommend leveling up to at least 350 or even 400 for a smoother experience.

Is Yuji better than the Gon fighting style?

This is a hot topic. While Gon (based on the Hunter x Hunter reference) has higher raw area-of-effect (AOE) damage, Yuji has better single-target DPS and mobility. For grinding bosses, Yuji is better. For clearing mobs of enemies, Gon might have a slight edge.

What happens if I die during the Boss Fight?

If you die during the fight against Mutated Yuji, the boss will despawn, and you will have to re-summon him. However, you do not need to re-collect the 5 Cursed Fingers. The game remembers your progress in the quest line.

Does Yuji work with Haki?

Absolutely. Using Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) with Yuji’s moves increases your damage output significantly against Logia fruit users, allowing you to hit them where normal melee attacks would phase through.

Can I trade Yuji?

No, Yuji is a non-tradeable fighting style. Once you unlock it on a specific account, it is bound to that character forever. This ensures the value of the grind remains high.

Conclusion

Obtaining Yuji in Sailor Piece is one of the most rewarding grinds I’ve experienced in the game recently. It tests your preparation, your combat skills, and your patience. But the feeling of landing that first Black Flash combo in PvP is absolutely unmatched.

I hope this guide helps you on your journey. If you found this helpful, make sure to bookmark this page as I update it whenever new patches or changes to Yuji’s drop rates occur in 2026.

Good luck, sailors, and may your sails always catch the wind.
