Female Sukuna - Heian Era

Ryomen Sukuna (両面宿儺 Ryōmen Sukuna), more often referred to simply as Sukuna (宿儺 Sukuna), is history’s strongest jujutsu sorceress, born over a thousand years ago. Regarded as the undisputed Queen of Curses (呪いの女王 Noroi no Joō), Sukuna is one of the primary antagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen.

According to legend, Sukuna was an Imaginary Demon (仮想の鬼神 Kasō no Kijin) during the Heian Era, the Golden Age of Jujutsu. In truth, she was an undefeated human sorceress also known as the Disgraced One (堕天 Daten), having slain countless jujutsu sorcerers who dared challenge her.

Sukuna’s true body is that of a tall, powerful woman with four arms, four eyes, and a gaping mouth on her midriff. She has long, voluminous pink-red hair and piercing crimson eyes. Her two right eyes are angled differently and set upon a pale plate-like structure of flesh on the right side of her face. Her body is covered in intricate tattoos, which manifest on her vessel whenever she takes control, and are naturally present in her true form. These markings are primarily black lines across her wrists, ankles, upper arms, torso, abdomen, and face, along with large black dots on her shoulders. When they manifest on a vessel with only two arms, the lines encircling the arms and wrists appear doubled, with circles forming around the shoulder markings. Sukuna’s monstrous appearance led many to describe her as a demoness with four arms and two faces, though she was in reality a human curse user rather than a cursed spirit. In her true body, she most often wears only a pair of hakama-style pants, as her unique torso is nearly impossible to clothe - so Sukuna usually covers her bust with bandages to contain it, or wears a white robe left completely untied, leaving her torso exposed and giving an unrestricted view of the second mouth on her stomach and abdomen. The attire emphasizes both her regal presence and her monstrous, fearsome nature, blending elegance with terrifying functionality.

Sukuna is egotistical, hedonistic, sadistic, and utterly selfish. Mass slaughter, suffering, and the screams of her victims are what the Queen of Curses relishes most; this was first shown upon her reincarnation after Yuji ingested her finger, when she coldly implied the slaughter of women and children, likening them to insects crawling beneath her feet. Due to her immense power, she rarely considers the consequences of her actions, even if they threaten her host. She constantly mocks and taunts Yuji, calling him a brat and deriving twisted amusement from his despair. Outwardly, Sukuna claims to have no dreams, goals, or aspirations to work toward, unlike the sorcerers who fight her and grow through their struggles. However, on rare occasions, she has hinted at a lingering resentment rooted in her past.

Sukuna is gluttonous—craving not only food and human flesh but also battle and bloodshed. She draws out fights with strong opponents for her own enjoyment, even when ending them quickly would be the wiser choice.

Fully aware of her overwhelming strength, Sukuna is arrogant and merciless, brutalizing her enemies while belittling them with scornful words. She has openly declared her supremacy, even telling Satoru Gojo to his face that she would kill him without hesitation. Yet, her brutality is not to be mistaken for ignorance—Sukuna is highly intelligent and manipulative, exemplified when she forced Yuji into a binding vow by ripping out his heart, or when she deceived Hana Kurusu into lowering her guard while possessing Fushiguro’s body.

Despite her cruelty, Sukuna has on occasion acknowledged the worth of her opponents. Most notably, before killing Jogo, she praised his strength even after completely overpowering him, telling him he should be proud. Rarely, Sukuna has been capable of forming non-combative relationships; she once took in a young Uraume, initially to serve her meals chilled, before eventually shaping the child into her loyal subordinate.

While observant in matters of jujutsu, she shows little interest in the modern world’s technology and culture, dismissing Nanako Hasaba’s smartphone merely as a “camera phone,” revealing that her focus is fixed solely on sorcery.

During her possession of Megumi’s body, Sukuna explained to Yuji that she views humans as nothing more than insects—fragile creatures clinging desperately to life when they should simply embrace their suffering and inevitable demise. She scoffs at the idea of happiness, finding it laughable that beings so easily destroyed dare to seek joy. This perspective highlights her social-darwinistic philosophy and contempt for human emotion. She rejects the very idea of love or bonds, enraged by anyone daring to pity her or show her mercy, as such acts insult her pride as the strongest. Yet, her own hypocrisy is revealed when she exploits others’ desperation to live, such as her deliberate attempt to further crush Fushiguro’s faltering will.

Abilities and Power

During the Heian Era, Sukuna was revered and feared as the most powerful sorceress in history, single-handedly annihilating elite forces such as the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad and the Five Empty Generals, leaving the Fujiwara clan so terrified they honored her with festivals. Her legacy as the Queen of Curses continues into the modern age, with even Satoru Gojo acknowledging her strength as a rival.

Sukuna possesses immense cursed energy reserves far surpassing all others, alongside perfect control that allows her to repeatedly use advanced techniques such as Domain Expansion and Reverse Cursed Technique without faltering. She enhances her overwhelming physical abilities with cursed energy reinforcement, making her blows capable of leveling buildings and her body durable enough to withstand Gojo’s Hollow Purple.

In combat, Sukuna is both a master martial artist and a genius tactician, seamlessly blending hand-to-hand prowess with cursed techniques. She adapts quickly, analyzing and countering enemy abilities after only a glimpse, and is highly manipulative, exploiting binding vows and her enemies’ emotions to her advantage.

Her monstrous strength, speed, and reflexes are second to none: she can blitz opponents, hurl sorcerers through buildings, and overpower special-grade curses with ease. Even in incomplete forms, her power dwarfs that of most sorcerers and cursed spirits. In her fully incarnated state, she stands as the ultimate force of destruction — the one true Queen of Curses.

Innate Techniques

Shrine (御厨子 Mizushi?): Sukuna’s cursed technique allows her to launch slashes at various ranges capable of cutting through objects and space, as well as unleashing destructive flames.

Dismantle (解カイ Kai?): Her default ranged slashing attack, effective against cursed spirits and sorcerers alike. She has mastered extending Dismantle’s reach to affect the world itself, creating “slashes that cut the world” (世を断つ斬撃 Sekai o Tatsu Zangeki?).

Cleave (捌ハチ Hachi?): A slashing attack that adapts to the target’s toughness and cursed energy level, capable of eliminating foes in a single strike. Outside her domain expansion, physical contact is required to activate Cleave.

Spiderweb (蜘蛛の糸 Kumo no Ito?): A variation of Cleave shaped like a spider’s web. By touching the ground, Sukuna can collapse terrain and adjust the attack to the surroundings’ durability.

Divine Flame (竈神 Kamino?): Sukuna can create and manipulate fire for long-range attacks by chanting “Open” (開フーガ Fūga?) and forming a fiery arrow. These flames surpass the destructive power of Jogo, a special-grade curse with pyrokinetic abilities.

Reverse Cursed Technique

Reverse Cursed Technique (反転術式 Hanten Jutsushiki?): Sukuna is highly proficient in reverse cursed technique. While incarnated in Yuji’s body, she healed injuries instantly, regenerating lost limbs with full integrity. She can also channel positive energy to heal others, a skill rare among sorcerers. Additionally, she can repair her own cursed techniques or even her soul using this technique, a mastery gained through her possession of Yuji’s body.

Anti-Domain Techniques

Domain Amplification (領域展延 Ryō’iki Ten’en?): Sukuna envelops herself in a personal aura to neutralize opponents’ domain techniques, allowing her to physically engage even Gojo. She can maintain or repeatedly activate this technique to counteract adaptive enemies like Mahoraga.

Hollow Wicker Basket (彌虚葛籠 Iyako Tsuzura?): A precursor to Simple Domain, this technique erects a basket-shaped barrier that nullifies a domain’s guaranteed-hit factor.

Domain Expansion

Malevolent Shrine (伏魔御厨子 Fukuma Mizushi?): Sukuna’s domain manifests as a Buddhist shrine adorned with skulls. All within the domain are relentlessly struck with Dismantle or Cleave, scaled to their cursed energy. Uniquely, it does not enclose a separate space but integrates into the surrounding air. Allowing an escape route forms a binding vow, expanding the effective guaranteed-hit radius to nearly 200 meters.

Special Abilities

Unique Body Structure: In her true form, Sukuna has four arms and two mouths. The extra arms allow simultaneous hand signs and combat, while the second mouth can continuously chant empowered words without strain. This structure provides a significant advantage over other sorcerers.

Cursed Tools

Kamutoke (神武解 Kamutoke?): A vajra-like cursed tool capable of discharging electricity. A replica was crafted for Sukuna in the modern age through a binding vow.

Hiten (飛天 Hiten?): A trident-like weapon she wielded a thousand years ago; its full capabilities remain unknown.
