Biography
Ryomen Sukuna (Japanese: 両りょう面めん宿すく儺な, Hepburn: Ryōmen Sukuna?) was a male Cursed Spirit who came to be born in the modern age from negative human emotion. Originally, he had been a human being that lived over a thousand years ago where he became a talented jujutsu sorcerer during the golden age when that art of spellcasting was practiced by people. Possessing incredible power, he wreaked havoc in this era where he fought countless sorcerers who he defeated. After his death, he became a Cursed Spirit, and his curse was too strong for his body to be fully destroyed.
As a result, his 20 indestructible fingers were sealed away in grave wax and branded as high-level cursed objects which became scattered and lost over the ages. Special seals were kept on them to prevent them from influencing the world around them.
