Curses are the embodiment of negative emotions that overflow from humans, and it is said that curses tend to accumulate in places where many memories remain, such as schools and hospitals. Therefore, many schools have cursed objects placed as talismans, and "Ryomen Sukuna" was kept as a talisman at Sugisawa Third High School in Sendai. A sealed cursed object serves as a talisman, but a cursed object whose seal has loosened over the years can instead become bait that attracts curses. Fushiguro visited Itadori to retrieve "Ryomen Sukuna" before the seal on him was completely broken and people died.
Ryomen Sukuna released from the seal
Fushiguro retrieved the box containing Sukuna from Itadori, but when he opened the lid, it was empty... Fushiguro was chasing the residual impurity of Sukuna that remained in the box. The contents were taken out of the box by a senior from the Oka Research Club who was interested in cursed objects. Normally, the sealing talisman cannot be broken by human hands, but Sukuna's cursed power is extraordinary, and the talisman has deteriorated over the years and is practically a piece of paper. It was in a state where it could be easily broken by human hands. Cursed spirits gain stronger cursed power by consuming other cursed spirits. With Sukuna freed from the seal, he is the perfect bait to gain cursed power from, so the cursed spirits attack the Oka Research seniors, Itadori, and the others in search of Sukuna's finger.
The worst possible outcome: the incarnated "Ryomen Sukuna"
Sukuna, who has incarnated Itadori, has a cruel personality that likes the strong and plays with the weak. Power is everything, and he does not like any other hierarchy. His fighting power is so overwhelming that it is no match for ordinary cursed spirits or sorcerers. However, Itadori is somehow resistant to curses and was not completely taken over by Sukuna. As a result, Itadori did not die, but he will live with Sukuna inside him. By the way, when Sukuna appears, a pattern like a tribal tattoo appears all over his body. Well, I think you can tell right away because his personality and strength are clearly different...
"Ryomen Sukuna" was a real person?!
"Ryomen Sukuna" is a fictional demon with four arms and two faces, and is called the King of Curses, but he was a real person who existed more than 1,000 years ago. The sorcerers put all their strength into the fight but were unable to defeat him, and since they were unable to even remove the cursed objects (such as his fingers that had not decayed) after Sukuna's death, they resorted to sealing him away. As Sukuna has four arms, he has a total of 20 fingers. Itadori was only able to eat one at first and was that strong, so the complete Sukuna with all 20 fingers must be incredibly strong. Even Gojo Satoru has commented that it might be tough.
Did he actually exist in the real world?!
Ryomen Sukuna was a strange person who lived in Hida (present-day Gifu Prefecture) during the reign of Emperor Nintoku, and was called a demon. In the "Nihon Shoki" he is described as a vicious bandit, but in Gifu Prefecture folklore he is said to have been a powerful lord who defeated a poisonous dragon and built a temple.
"Ryomen Sukuna" shows interest in Fushiguro
Sukuna, who likes strong people, shows interest in Fushiguro's fighting style and hidden power. After taking over Itadori's body due to the incident at the second inmate dormitory, Sukuna provokes Fushiguro and wants a serious fight. Sukuna asks Fushiguro, "Why did you run away then?" From Sukuna's perspective, it can be interpreted as him not understanding the reason for running away, meaning that he could have fought him just fine. Sukuna's words at this time will also be the trigger for Fushiguro's awakening later, so it's interesting to remember them!
"Ryomen Sukuna" rejoices in Fushiguro's growth
Fushiguro once again faces a special-grade cursed spirit at the Eighty-Eight Bridges. It looks the same as the special-grade cursed spirit that appeared at the juvenile detention center, but its fighting power is far superior. After being attacked, Fushiguro faints and remembers the words that Gojo Satoru and Sukuna said to him. The words of the two prompted Fushiguro to stop being stuck in the mold and to develop an area beyond his limits, the "Interlocking Shadow Garden," albeit imperfectly. Fushiguro expanded the interpretation of the technique and barely defeated the special-grade cursed spirit. Sukuna, the only one who was interested in Fushiguro, was delighted by his growth.
This is the power of a king
Cursed spirits are divided into seven ranks: special, 1st grade, quasi-1st grade, 2nd grade, quasi-2nd grade, 3rd grade, and 4th grade. Sukuna is of course a special grade, but the cursed spirit that appeared in the second dormitory for inmates is also a special grade. However, Sukuna treats the other special grades like insects even in a fight. Since the upper rank is only special grade, there seems to be a considerable difference in power even among the special grades, and Sukuna's power is in a class of its own, the highest.
Real cursed magic by "Ryomen Sukuna"
Sukuna teaches the opposing special grade cursed spirit what real cursed magic is. He deploys his innate domain "Fukuma Mikoshi" and reduces the number of cursed spirits to three. Since there is no detailed explanation, we don't know the effect of the curse, but since he reduces the number of special grades to three in an instant... it must be an incredible effect (lol). By the way, in Itadori's mind, he deploys his innate domain where there are countless animal bones on the water, and Sukuna also represents this domain as his heart.
Heaven and Earth are the only ones who are equal
Itadori feels an unprecedented anger towards Mahito, who killed Junpei. "I'll kill you," is what he really thinks from the bottom of his heart. This is anger at the "curse" that makes the misfortune and despair of others sweet, but I think it's also anger at himself for not being able to help anyone even if he gives his all. Sukuna and Mahito laugh at how pitiful Itadori is. An angry Itadori puts up a good fight against Mahito, but the difference in their abilities is clear. Wanting to summon Sukuna, Mahito tells Itadori to take Sukuna's place and uses "Muitenhen" to touch Sukuna's soul. At one point, Sukuna mocks Itadori along with Mahito, but then warns him for stepping into his territory. They share the same curse and like the same things, but Sukuna does not like to get too familiar with others, and makes Mahito understand that he is the top.
A soul that should never be touched
Masato trapped Nanami inside his innate realm with "Muitenhen". The condition for Mahito's technique to be activated is to touch it directly with the palm of the original, and if he is inside the realm of sure-fire hits, Nanami has no way to defeat Mahito. Nanami prepares to die, but at that moment, Itadori appears inside the realm. The more the resistance of the barrier technique increases from within, the weaker it is against external forces, and since the "realm" is a barrier specialized for trapping, it was easy to invade from the outside. So why is it designed like this? As the domain is said to be a sure-fire hit, the user has a significant advantage once inside, so there is no merit to entering the domain oneself. However, the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, resides within Itadori. When Itadori entered the domain, Mahito touched Sukuna's soul again and was defeated in an instant. Sukuna doesn't care who lives or dies. He is only interested in Fushiguro. Sukuna, the solitary king, has an overwhelming presence unlike other curses!
Closing in on the King of Curses, Special Grade Cursed Object, Ryomen Sukuna! Summary
What did you think?
He is an absolute presence among curses, and his power and presence that keeps others at bay are truly worthy of being called the King of Curses. It is said that Itadori will eat all of Sukuna's fingers before killing him, but I can't help but think that if Sukuna becomes perfect, no one will be able to stand a chance against him. I'm also curious about what Sukuna's magic formula is, and I'd like to see a battle between Sukuna and Fushiguro! !
