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.
By 2018, one of Sukuna's fingers came to find itself as Sugisawa High School where it was kept in an outdoor thermometer box. The school's occult club had taken the finger from the thermometer box where they tried to remove the seal placed on it. Once they had taken the off the seal, other cursed spirits began to appear after being drawn by the fingers cursed energy leading to them attacking the club members. By this point, sorcerers from Jujutsu High looked to recover the fingers but had to contend with the Cursed Spirits. Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori looked to save the club members where in the fighting the latter came to eat one of Sukuna's fingers to prevent a Cursed Spirit from acquiring it.
Overview
Personality and attributes
He was described as being a demon with four arms and two faces. Long ago, he came to be regarded as the legendary Imaginary Demon (仮想かそうの鬼神きじん Kasō no Kijin?). Such was his power that he was regarded as the undisputed King of Curses (呪のろいの王おう Noroi no Ō?).
Sukuna was a selfish, cold-hearted, immoral, and exceptionally sadistic being. He was noted for being highly intelligent and manipulative figure.
It was shown that he was aware of his immense power and was quite arrogant about it. This led to him being highly dismissive of his opponents and rarely took them seriously.
Due to his immense power, he rarely cared about the consequences of his actions.
Powers and abilities
Originally, Sukuna was a mortal human who had been held as the most powerful sorcerer in the Golden Age of Jujutsu and had killed many powerful sorcerers before ultimately being defeated himself. As a Cursed Spirit, he was a supernatural being born from negative emotions that flowed from humans. Only those capable of seeing cursed energy were capable of seeing him. As a Special Grade, he possessed vast amounts of cursed energy at his disposal. In fact, as the King of the Curses, he was regarded as the most powerful known Cursed Spirit and possessed both overwhelming levels of power and extraordinary levels of skill.
It was noted that he was a special grade cursed spirit and an incredibly powerful one. Such was his power that he was so strong where he could not be fully destroyed. This was the point that his 20 fingers were regarded as being indestructible and unable to be destroyed where they were regarded as powerful cursed objects. He held massive reserves of Cursed Energy that allowed him to make continuous usage of his cursed techniques without any strain with this far exceeding those of any other Special-Grade Cursed Spirits. It was noted that his mere presence upon awakening could be felt through the entire Shibuya area.
He was capable of the power of Incarnation (受肉じゅにく Juniku?) where he was able to manifest in the body of whoever ate his fingers thus gaining their physical human body in the process. He was able to manifest new eyes and mouths on his host body allowing him to see and speak without controlling the body of the host.
Even in an incomplete state, he possessed tremendous physical strength to the point of overwhelming larger opponents. He was able to move at incredible speeds to the point that his enemies could not even register his movements. Similarly, his reflexes were fast enough that he was easily able to counter any opponent. Using cursed energy, he was able to bolster his host's resilience allowing him to endure powerful attacks. In addition, he was an extremely skilled and powerful close-quarters fighter.
Offensively, Sukuna could use Cursed Energy to Dismantle (解カイ Kai?) his target with this being his default slashing attack where he used it on inanimate objects but could apply it to cursed spirits. Alternatively, he could use Cleave (捌ハチ Hachi?) on his foes with this being a slash of energy that could strike from either close to long range. It was shown to be capable of cutting through inanimate objects and Cursed Spirits with ease.
Sukuna could also trigger a Domain Expansion (領りょう域いき展てん開かい Ryōiki Tenkai?) which was an advanced barrier technique that manifested his Innate Domain (生得領域しょうとくりょういき Shōtoku Ryōiki?). In his case, he was able to trap his targets inside his Malevolent Shrine (伏ふく魔ま御み厨づ子し Fukuma Mizushi?) though unlike normal Domains he did not create a separate space with a barrier. Thus, it was considered a truly divine technique with it being compared to an artist able to draw a masterpiece on air instead of on a canvas.
Notes
- Sukuna was created by Gege Akutami where he featured in the setting of the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
- The character was based on Ryōmen-sukuna (両りょう面めん宿すく儺な?) in Japanese Myth who was said to be a demonic/specter-like figure described in the Nihon Shoki.
