Summary

Ryomen Sukuna (両りょう面めん 宿すく儺な, Ryōmen Sukuna) is a mighty sorcerer known as the King of Curses (呪のろいの王おう, Noroi no Ō). He is one of the primary antagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen.

According to a legend, during the Golden Age Of Jujutsu over a thousand years ago, Sukuna was an Imaginary Demon. Though, in truth, he was a human sorcerer.

Many Jujutsu Sorcerers from the Heian era sharpened their skills and fought him to try and take him down but ultimately failed in killing Sukuna. After he had passed, his soul was split into his 20 fingers which had been turned into indestructible Special Grade Cursed Objects and were preserved in their own grave wax. These fingers traversed the ages, coveted by many. It wasn't until a thousand years later that he was incarnated after Yuji Itadori ate one of his fingers.

Powers and Abilities:

• In Yuji's Body
• In Megumi's Body

• Powers and Abilities
• Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine
• Resistances

• Cursed Energy Manipulation (Advanced Sorcerer - Sukuna is a sorcerer whose skills are on par, if not superior, with the likes of Kenjaku and Satoru Gojo)

• Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 & 8 - These fragments of his soul will continue to live on forever and Sukuna will continue to exist so long as even one of these 20 cursed objects remains. Upon being ingested, these fingers can be used to incarnate Sukuna into a new body. Sukuna can regenerate and survive even without his heart)

• Possibly Soul Manipulation (Grievously harmed Mahito who can only be harmed substantially by attacking the soul, implied to be capable of undoing Mahito's Idle Transfiguration)

• Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant (Completely outclassed Megumi in combat skill, Jogo couldn't land a single strike on him even though he was holding back)

• Regeneration & Healing (At least Mid - used Reverse Cursed Technique to regenerate a missing heart and a hand. Sukuna can survive and regenerate having his brain be destroyed in order to restore his burnt-out Cursed Technique after a Domain Expansion. Healed Megumi to keep him alive after he took a hit from Mahoraga)

• Limited Body Control (Grew two extra eyes on Yuji's face, can create mouths anywhere on Yuji's body)

• Explosion Manipulation & Fire Manipulation (By chanting "Open", Sukuna is able to create a flame-shaped arrow and cause a massive explosion by firing it)

• Limited Poison Manipulaton (Ryomen Sukuna is the King of Curses which leaves him lethal to consume as a Cursed Object)

• Energy Projection & Enhanced Invisibility (Sukuna can send slashes, invisible to even sorcerers and cursed spirits, flying at his opponent via Dismantle)
  • Adaptation (Via Cleave; Will adjust its cursed energy output depending on how strong Sukuna's opponent is)

• Power Nullification (Sukuna can use Domain Amplifcation in order to neutralize Cursed Techniques. Even from the likes of Gojo's Infinity, which was able to overpower the combined Domain Amplifications of both Jogo and Hanami)

• Technique Mimicry (Upon only seeing a technique performed a single time, Sukuna is able to perfectly replicate that technique such as when he learned how to turn himself into a Cursed Object after Kenjaku helped him split his soul into his 20 fingers and restored his burnt out Cursed Technique by destroying parts of the brain and healing them with Reverse Cursed Technique after seeing Gojo do it. Sukuna was also shown to mimic Choso's Piercing Blood technique by using water as a basis)

• Fear Manipulation (His presence causes people and curses to feel inferior to him, forcing them to act instinctively to survive)

• Possession (Sukuna can transfer his consciousness to another body by turning a body part of his current host into a Cursed Object containing his soul and forcing someone else to swallow it)

• Domain Expansion (Types 1 & 2 - Sukuna's domain is one of the only few domains that does not enclose its barrier, which is akin to an artist painting a masterpiece not on a canvas, but on air, a truly divine technique. By allowing an "escape route" due to not trapping its targets, a Binding Vow is formed which vastly increases the guaranteed hit's effective range to a maximum radius of 200 meters. Sukuna's domain has two types of slashing attacks. Cleave, which is used for adjusting cursed energy output based on a target's toughness, and Dismantle which is used for inanimate objects. Until Malevolent Shrine is gone, it will relentlessly keep attacking all targets within its guaranteed hit's effective range. Sukuna is also capable of closing a barrier around his domain much like many others in the series)

Resistance to:

• Soul Manipulation (Prevented Mahito from interacting with him and Yuji's soul)

• Biological Manipulation & Heat Manipulation (Unfazed by fighting on top of Jogo's heated meteor, not scared of Jogo's Domain Expansion)

• Poison Manipulation (Ryomen Sukuna is the King of Curses, leading him to be completely immune to all kinds of lethal poisons)

• Ice Manipulation (Sukuna holds Yuji Itadori as a vessel who was able to resist the extreme cold of Uruame's Frost Calm thanks to him)

• Possession (If another soul was to inhabit and try to possess the body of one of Sukuna's vessels, Sukuna would destroy the inhabitant's soul completely)

• Powers and Abilities
• Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden
• Resistances

All previous abilities plus:

• Enhanced Body Control (Is able to completely distort Megumi Fushiguro's face upon taking him as a vessel. Can return to his original form if he wants to)

• Instinctive Action (Despite being knocked out or incapacitated, Sukuna still managed to summon Mahoraga and continue to use the Ten Shadows Technique)

• Darkness Manipulation & Summoning (The Ten Shadows Technique allows him to summon Shikigami using shadows as an intermediary and he is able to half summon them as well. Sukuna is also capable of utilizing the darkness in various ways such as hiding in his opponents shadow in order to perform a sneak attack, hiding in the shadows himself in order to avoid attacks, or drag other people into the shadows in order to stun and immobilize their movements)
  • Nue: Flight, Paralysis Inducement, & Electricity Manipulation (Is able to fly and generate lightning. Nue's electrical wings can also induce paralysis)
  • Max Elephant: Water Manipulation (Is able to spew mass amounts of water from its trunk. Furthermore, Sukuna is also able to generate just the water from Max Elephant for himself which he is then able to fire in a similar manner to Piercing Blood)
  • Piercing Ox: Statistics Amplification (Its power will continue to increase as it continues to charge in a straight line)
  • Round Deer: Healing & Power Nullification (Is able to both heal injuries and neutralize Cursed Techniques with its positive energy)
  • Mahoraga: Adaptation & Reactive Evolution (It only needs to experience a phenomenon a single time for its adaptation process to begin. Repeated exposure to the phenomenon shortens this adaptation process considerably. Mahoraga's evolution never fully stops even after fully adapting to the technique already as it will always continue to develop new adaptations, obtaining more ways to bypass the technique)
  • Fusionism (Sukuna is able to combine his Ten Shadows Shikigami together to conjure up beings such as Merged Beast Agito)

• Spatial Manipulation & Durability Negation (Sukuna can expand his Cursed Technique's target to 'space, existence and the world itself' before firing Dismantle which allows it to cut through anything caught in the slash's path. Expanding the target of his technique like this requires him to chant and perform hand signs with two arms or make a Binding Vow)

• Kamutoke:
  • Electricity Manipulation (Sukuna is able to produce large blasts of electricity that he is able to fire off from a distance)

• Damage Transferal (Sukuna was able to avoid being fully paralyzed by Unlimited Void by transferring the damage to Megumi's soul)

• Transformation & Healing (Sukuna is able to incarnate his vessel's body into his original form once. This allows Sukuna to recover from any previous damage he received prior to his incarnation)
  • Additional Limbs & Damage Boost (Thanks to his body's natural mutations, Sukuna is able to use hand signs while keeping two other hands free and continue on with chants that enhance his cursed technique without straining his lungs thanks to his extra mouths)

• Possibly Domain Expansion (Type 1 - Can possibly use Chimera Shadow Garden. This Domain Expansion would allow him to conjure the various kinds of shikigami that Sukuna has at his disposal for the Domain's guaranteed hit effect. This would also allow him to mask himself within the shadows and perform sneak attacks, as well as being able to use those shadows to make duplicates of himself. As an added bonus, the user's potential is expanded to 120%)

Resistance to:

• Limited Mind Manipulation, Perception Manipulation & Paralysis Inducement (Sukuna was capable of withstanding nearly 10 seconds of exposure to Unlimited Void, something in which even 0.2 seconds of exposure can completely immobilize both humans and cursed spirits alike for a period of time)

• Limited Spatial Manipulation (Was seemingly unaffected by the spatial manipulation of Black Flash)

• Electricity Manipulation (Was able to withstand various kinds of electrical attacks from Kashimo's Cursed Technique)

At least Multi-City Block level (Easily overpowered the Finger Bearer and toyed with it throughout their fight. Dealt grievous damage to Mahito with a casual attack), higher in Malevolent Shrine (Instantly killed the Finger Bearer and split it into multiple pieces, despite Sukuna believing it would be split only into three pieces); Varies with Cleave (Adjusts its output based on the target's toughness and cursed energy level to cut them down in one fell swoop)

At least Small Town level (Easily overpowered Jogo and kept up with Mahoraga despite it being constantly adapting to his attacks. His mere presence made Ryu sweat, whereas Ryu was unimpressed with Yuta's Cursed Energy Output and confidently observed his battles. Can clash with Yorozu. Kenjaku had to rely on him for protection against Gojo. Superior to Uraume. Even with his output fluctuating down to below 10%, he was able to keep up with both Yuji and Heavenly Restricted Maki), higher in Malevolent Shrine, Small City level with Fuga (Completely vaporized Mahoraga and a large portion of Shibuya); Varies with Cleave

At least Large Town level (Comparable to Gojo); higher with True form (His true form is described to be "perfection" which should make it at least stronger than Megumi's body. In the Golden Age of Jujutsu, sorcerers had sharpened their skills against him but were ultimately defeated. WoG states he is stronger than Rika. With this body he annhilated the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad that Uro led and the Five Empty Generals - which were two equal squads under the Northern Fujiwara Clan - then routed the Abe Clan's elite forces which included Angel) and in Malevolent Shrine, Small City level with Fuga; Varies with Cleave

Speed: At least Subsonic+ (Superior to Yuji. Blitzed the Finger Bearer. Was shown to blitz Megumi from many meters away) | At least Subsonic+, likely far higher (Should be faster than before. Blitzed Yuji immediately after taking over Megumi. Capable of fending off an awakened Maki and an enhanced Yuji simultaneously. Blitzed Jogo multiple times. Capable of keeping up with Mahoraga despite the Shikigami adapting to Sukuna's attacks. Blitzed Ryu Ishigori) | At least Massively Hypersonic (Comparable to Gojo. Can keep up with Mythical Beast Amber Kashimo and even dodged his attacks while heavily injured.

Striking Strength: At least Multi-City Block level, likely far higher (Grounded and stunned a Finger Bearer with a nonchalant blow to the face. Launched Megumi through buildings with casual strikes and visibly damaged him, and left Nue near the state of vanishing with a single blow. Effortlessly took out a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit with a single swipe of his hand) | At least Small Town level (Easily punched Jogo through buildings and even destroyed his jaw with a single hit. Damaged Mahoraga with his punches and threw him a hundred meters into the ground) | At least Large Town level (Stronger than before)

Took a beating from Nue entirely unfazed) | At least Small Town level (Unharmed by attacks from Mahoraga that threw him through several buildings) | At least Large Town level (Could tank hits from Gojo); Regeneration makes him hard to kill

Stamina: Superhuman (Should be superior to his vessel Yuji's stamina as he adds his own to it while taking over. Can fight without a heart, fought Jogo and Mahoraga back to back, and used his Domain Expansion without signs of being exhausted. Yuta said Sukuna had more than twice the amount of Cursed Energy as him)

Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters with Dismantle and Cleave, up to Two Hundred Meters with Maleveolent Shrine

Standard Equipment:

• Kamutoke (呪じゅ具ぐ「神か武む解とけ」, Jugu・Kamutoke): A ball-handled short blade that allows Sukuna to be able to fire bursts of electrical discharges at his opponents. It was with this cursed weapon that Sukuna used to defeat the five empty generals as well as both the sun and moon squads that tried to oppose him back in the Heian era.

Intelligence: Gifted (Sukuna, an exceptionally intelligent sorcerer in the world, possesses a deep understanding of cursed techniques, curses, and reverse cursed techniques. In the Golden Age of Jujutsu during the Heian Era, Sukuna was feared as the most powerful sorcerer, defeating both Sun-Moon-Stars and the Five Empty Generals, the most elite of the Fujiwara Clan's Subjugation Units and leaving a lasting impact on history. His title as the "Strongest Sorcerer in History" and "King of Curses" reflects his unparalleled strength & skills in Jujutsu. Sukuna's ability to quickly deduce and counter cursed techniques, as seen in his battle against Mahoraga, showcases his strategic prowess. Even Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer of the modern age, acknowledges Sukuna's formidable strength & skills. Additionally, Sukuna quickly grasped the potential of Megumi's cursed technique in their brief battle, eventually forming a binding vow with Yuji to seize Megumi's body. Later, during a confrontation with Hana Kurusu, Sukuna manipulated Megumi's memories to make her believe he was in control, leading to a critical injury when she embraced him)

Weaknesses: Like all sorcerers, their control of Curse Energy comes from their gut thus destroying their gut or brain completely can stop them from using cursed energy and Reverse Cursed Technique. One can target the neck to stop application of Reversed Cursed Technique from the neck down also. After Domain Expansion, one's cursed technique is burnt out and requires a short duration to come back, though this can be negated by Sukuna forcefully destroying the right cerebral cortex portion of his brain with Cursed Energy and healing it with Reverse Cursed Technique. Sukuna can be diffused from his vessel through purification, killing him. Attacks to his soul also disrupt the attunement of his and his vessel's physical form. Sukuna must first make direct contact with his targets for Cleave to do fatal wounds though not in domain. Using Domain Amplification and one's cursed technique can't be used at the same time though Sukuna is able to switch between them quickly. | Mahoraga's wheel is interrupted when Sukuna is using other cursed techniques. When in his true form, Sukuna has four arms, even with these Sukuna still can be held back given one set of arms has to focus on another task like using Hollow Wicker Basket rendering him unable to use his World-Severing Slash.

Notable Attacks and Techniques:

Dismantle (解カイ, Kai): Sukuna's standard slashing attack. Effective against inanimate objects or anything without cursed energy. World-Severing Slash (世せ界かいを断たつ斬ざん撃げき, Sekai o Tatsu Zangeki): Inspired by Mahoraga's second adaptation to Satoru's Infinity, Sukuna further enhanced Dismantle by expanding its target area to encompass the very fabric of the world itself, transforming it into "a slash that cuts through the world." This unblockable attack cuts through space, making it impossible to defend against. To unleash the World-Severing Slash, Sukuna chants three phrases: "Dragon Scales" (龍りゅう鱗りん, Ryūrin), "Repulsion" (反はん発ぱつ, Hanpatsu), and "Twin Meteors" (番つがいの流りゅう星せい, Tsugai no Ryūsei) Cleave (捌ハチ, Hachi): The second method of slashing. Effective against anything or anyone imbued with cursed energy. Fuga (「▪」開フーガ, Fūga): Sukuna can create and manipulate flames into a single powerful arrow attack. These abilities exceed Jogo's, a special grade curse that specializes in pyrokinetic abilities Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine (領りょう域いき展てん開かい「伏ふく魔ま御み厨づ子し」, Ryōiki Tenkai・Fukuma Mizushi) Sukuna's Domain Expansion creates a Buddhist shrine decorated with skulls. Malevolent Shrine has a distinctive property that does not create a barrier to separate spaces. In exchange for not having the power to confine targets, the Domain has expanded the guaranteed hit radius to nearly 200 meters. Within Malevolent Shrine, Sukuna can use Cleave and Dismantle relentlessly and automatically until the Domain expires. The Ten Shadows (十と種くさの影かげ法ぼう術じゅつ, Tokusa no Kage Bōjutsu): After taking over Megumi Fushiguro's body, Sukuna was able to control the ability of the ten shadows. Nue (鵺ぬえ, Nue): By controlling the ten shadows, Sukuna can summon Nue, an owl shikigami with the ability to produce electricity from its wings who has a much larger body than Megumi's version. Divine Dogs (玉ぎょく犬けん, Gyokuken): Sukuna summons an augmented version of the dogs, being covered by darkness. Divine Dog: Totality (玉ぎょく犬けん「渾こん」, Gyokuken・Kon): It is an improved version of the black Divine Dog shikigami, which inherited the power of the fallen white Divine Dog. It is powerful enough to contend with special-grade cursed spirits. Toad (蝦が蟇ま, Gama): A large toad shikigami with a long and powerful tongue that can grab people and pull them through the air. Toad's tongue can be used to pull its user or their allies to safety and then carry an entire person in its mouth if need be. Max Elephant (満ばん象しょう, Banshō): An imposing elephant shikigami, capable of unleashing a torrent of water from its trunk. Additionally, users can summon Max Elephant directly above an enemy to crush them with its immense size and weight. Sukuna showed the ability to compress the water released by Max Elephant, allowing him to fire off high-pressure beams of water in a manner identical to Piercing Blood. Rabbit Escape (脱だっ兎と, Datto): A swarm of rabbits that allow the user of the summoning technique to be able to hide oneself or other weapons into the shadows. It can also be used to help pull an opponent into the shadow itself and create distractions towards opponents as well. Piercing Ox (貫かん牛ぎゅう, Kangyū): An Ox-like creature summoned by the Ten Shadows Technique, its ability is to continually get stronger as it charges, however it is only able to charge in a straight line. Round Deer (円まど鹿か, Madoka): Sukuna is able to summon a large deer type creature capable of outputting positive energy similar to Reverse Cursed Technique which allows the deer to be able to not only heal Sukuna, but also nullify all types of cursed techniques. Eight Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga (八やつ握かの剣つるぎ異い戒かい神しん将しょう魔ま虚こ羅ら, Yatsuka-no-Tsurugi Ikaishinshō Makora): The mightiest shikigami that can be summoned through the Ten Shadows Technique. It is a powerful and durable humanoid figure wielding a sword. Mahoraga possesses immense strength and is capable of adapting to different forms of cursed energy attacks, becoming more resistant with each encounter. Since the inception of the Ten Shadows Technique, no one has been capable of defeating Mahoraga, rendering it a forbidden summon due to its uncontrollable power and the potential danger it poses. Remarkably, Sukuna, an outsider to the Ten Shadows Technique, managed to achieve what no practitioner could, ultimately defeating the mighty shikigami and breaking its undefeated streak. Mahoraga's ability is the power to adapt to any and all types of phenomena which have included Sukuna's own Dismantle, Gojo's Limitless technique and Unlimited Void, and Yorozu's Domain Expansion of infinite pressure. Nue: Totality - Merged Beast Agito (鵺ぬえ「渾こん」嵌かん合ごう獣じゅう 顎あぎ吐と, Nue・Kon - Kangō Jū Agito): An improved humanoid version of the Nue shikigami which inherited the powers of Great Serpent, Tiger Funeral, and Round Deer. Merged Beast Agito is a towering and muscular humanoid shikigami with a feathered mane, a mask over its face that resembles Nue's, feathered arms that end in claws, black antlers that protrude from its head, a feminine torso with black stripes, tiger-like feet, and a tail that ends in a snake's head. It also sports black hakama bottoms. It is a powerful shikigami with the ability to attack, defend, and provide support for its user. Its notable traits are its ability to produce electricity and regenerate with Reverse Cursed Technique. Chimera Shadow Garden (領りょう域いき展てん開かい「嵌かん合ごう暗あん翳えい庭てい」, Ryōiki Tenkai・Kangō An'eitei): The user inundates the area with numerous fluid shadows. Within this enigmatic domain, Sukuna can conjure multiple shikigami and even craft a doppelganger of himself from the very shadows. Sukuna can also stealthily conceal himself within an enemy's shadow when the domain is activated, allowing him to strike from their blind spot. Reverse Cursed Technique (反はん転てん術じゅつ式しき, Hanten Jutsushiki): While incarnated in Yuji's body, Sukuna used his Reverse Cursed Technique to instantly heal any injuries, including even regenerating lost limbs within moments. Regained limbs maintain the same integrity as the rest of Sukuna's body. He can go further and even heal others, something few can do. Sukuna can also use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal his burned-out cursed technique by destroying the part of his brain that cursed techniques are engraved in and regenerating it. This displays Sukuna's extremely high level usage of the Reverse Cursed Technique. Hollow Wicker Basket (彌いや虚こ葛籠つづら, Iyako Tsuzura): An anti-domain technique that is the predecessor to the Simple Domain. It erects a basket-shaped barrier that neutralizes a domain's barrier to nullify its guaranteed-hit factor.
