1. Sukuna, Akutami Gege's Beloved Character
This revelation might catch Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts off guard, as the majority believed Gojo Satoru held the top spot in the manga and anime community, owing to his charismatic appearance, personality, and the prowess of the 'Master of the Year.' However, with Gojo Satoru's demise in the manga, fans have revisited their stance, realizing that Akutami Gege's meticulously crafted character is none other than the Cursed King, Ryomen Sukuna.
There is substantial evidence supporting Sukuna as Gege's favorite character. Firstly, every frame featuring Sukuna is intricately drawn, contrasting with a few hastily sketched frames of Gojo Satoru, almost as if on a tight deadline. Additionally, Sukuna's frames are often portrayed from a lower perspective, signifying him as the true sovereign, forcing all beings to bow before this mighty ruler. Despite Gojo Satoru being a pivotal figure in Jujutsu Kaisen's fame, Akutami Gege didn't hesitate to sacrifice Satoru's life to accentuate the triumphant return of the Cursed King, Ryomen Sukuna – a revelation that left fans deeply unsettled upon its disclosure.


2. Sukuna's Unconquered Stature
Dubbed as the 'Mightiest Sorcerer in History,' Sukuna remains undefeated in every battle, regardless of the adversary. In terms of strength, the Cursed King seems impervious, surpassing all aspects like power, speed, reflexes, or situational awareness compared to other characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, including Gojo Satoru.
Even without resorting to sorcery, Sukuna's formidable physical strength alone overwhelms opponents with just bare hands and bulging muscles. When combining this physical might with his cursed techniques, Sukuna's strikes become even more formidable, making it clear that facing Sukuna requires mental preparation for defeat.
While often employing hand-to-hand combat or integrating his techniques, Sukuna also wields a weapon – a cursed tool created by Yorozu named Divine Feather. However, the true effects of this tool remain unclear, leaving readers in suspense about its functionality.
Moreover, Ryomen Sukuna possesses a Cursed Technique called the Expansive Domain, known as Cursed Technique Reversal Resentment. This domain has no boundaries, with a radius extending up to 200 meters. Within its effective range, objects with cursed energy become targets of Reversal Resentment. Lifeless entities become targets of Dissolution. During the activation of this technique, Reversal Resentment and Dissolution jointly attack objects within reach, displaying considerable strength. Sukuna can also adjust the 'conditions' to enhance Reversal Resentment and Dissolution's effectiveness against opponents.

3. Sukuna's Enigmatic Past
Ryomen Sukuna possesses unparalleled power, renowned as the ultimate antagonist in Jujutsu Kaisen. However, Sukuna's true past remains relatively unknown to many. Contrary to popular belief, Sukuna wasn't born as a Cursed Spirit. In the distant past, thousands of years ago, he was once a human, and notably, a talented sorcerer with strength that commanded reverence.
Legend has it that Ryomen Sukuna was born during the Heian period in Japan, approximately between 794 and 1185 AD, making him over 800 years old at present. During the Heian period, Sukuna single-handedly defeated hundreds of contemporary sorcerers, ascending to become the most powerful sorcerer of the time and later crowned as the 'Cursed King.'
In the Heian era, Sukuna was revered as a deity, and all citizens showed deep respect and awe. During festivals, Sukuna was invited to bless the people. His status as the most powerful sorcerer in history was further solidified when he swiftly defeated the strongest sorcerer of the Edo period, Hajime Kashimo, in just a few short manga pages. However, with Sukuna now existing as a Cursed Spirit, the title of the 'Strongest Sorcerer' has been passed on to Gojo Satoru.

4. Sukuna's Primal Form with 4 Arms, 4 Faces, and 2 Mouths
Frequently seen in Jujutsu Kaisen with a strikingly handsome appearance, particularly utilizing the borrowed body of the protagonist Itadori Yuji, few are aware of the truly terrifying primal form of Sukuna.
In the life-and-death battle against the most formidable Edo-era sorcerer, Hajime Kashimo, the Cursed King had to play his trump card – reverting to his true primal form by initiating the resurrection process once again. Kashimo admitted Sukuna's absolute perfection. Unlike ordinary individuals, Sukuna boasts 4 arms and 2 mouths – a significant advantage against sorcerers. Despite his extraordinary physique, his internal organs remain unimpaired. The four arms aid in performing spells while the other two remain free, allowing him to chant curses without straining his heart and lungs.
To explain this bizarre appearance, we must revisit a theory circulated among readers that Ryomen Sukuna draws inspiration from the myth of conjoined twins. It is plausible that the Cursed King is a pair of conjoined twins, and in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, twins are considered an ominous omen.

5. A Purely Malevolent Being
Despite being recognized as a sorcery prodigy with an exceptionally high win rate in battles, Ryomen Sukuna's true purpose for winning is simply 'to eat when hungry, kill when annoyed, and play with anyone interesting.' For him, everything boils down to 'do it if you like, kill if you don't.'
Furthermore, Sukuna holds a distinct perspective on love, believing that those who challenge him do so merely to experience a fight with a powerful adversary and desire strength for themselves. He thinks that he receives affection solely because of his strength. Due to this warped view, Ryomen Sukuna has an insanely radical notion of reciprocating that affection – teaching them a bloody lesson, inevitably exchanging it for their lives.
Ryomen Sukuna's perspective on love is twisted, viewing the connection between individuals as worthless and of no benefit to his own existence. With such thoughts, Sukuna is an undeserving recipient of love, and his heart will never know genuine love, only understanding war.
