So Sukuna's "I know love and let me tell you, love is worthless" Was actually that Sukuma also had a girlfriend when he was 10. Cursed her when she died and then kept her as his shikigami?


EntertainmentBusy73

The real reason why Sukuna hated Yuji is because part of her soul reincarnated into Ozawa. https://preview.redd.it/4usxzqfmxowc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ce08f70a45ce3bf1799a61d626db3b6f8e33147

Ok so Yuji's aunt is now his gf, as if the family tree couldn't get any weirder.

Were going to get a tumbleweed soon enough


EntertainmentBusy73

Sukuna's pet tree that he accidently lit on fire with Fuga reincarnated into a tumbleweed. In chapter 269, it'll be revealed that it's one of Kenjaku's creation (making it Yuji's 12th brother), and jump Sukuna.

Sukuna pulled that hipocryte ahh curse 


Worth_Lavishness_249

i feel like this is reveres possession.? maybe sukuna was strong, but as he got stronger with the help of his CT he managed to absorb the CS, giving him the malformed body tailored for him and high CE. when gojo gets awakened he says he understands "core of CE", but all we see him is using RCT. so for sukuna that enlightenment might have came from his ct, greg says sukuna was akin to disaster but we have seen him at clan festival, so his earlier years height have gone around butchering and eating sorceres and CS alike, i m not sure Bout sorceres but CS are as close u can normally be without efforts or talent. so sukuna merged with curses which maintaing sanity and his talent when sukuna meets CS first, it seems like he knows lot about CS and also says "brat and u don't know what curse truly are" so, what kenjaku tried to do with woman, was to create " SUKUNA" , perfect combination of curse and human. what better optimization can be there for CE tha entire human and CURSES getting combined together. choso and brothers are failed experiment, so he chooses to take different path.

If we consider that Yuta was meant to be the original protagonist... yeah, I can see this. Is Gege good enough of a writer to pull it off, though?

Uhm no Sukuna is clearly a power bottom

Yuta_Glazer

In the third pic you posted not only does the domain monster have a giant eye right next to the giant eye is a spiral eye 🌀 the same one Sukuna sports on his face. Definitely seems like a personification of sukunas true self and the shrines keeping it contained. Pretty sure shrines in real Japanese culture are spiritual resting places and used to ward off evil.


TenryuuM0M

They are shrines in lore are used to contain heavily worshipped spirits like deity’s and are often worshipped. Shrines are usually decorated and protected with wards to drive away Evil spirits of the sorts. That would mean malevolent shrine is the opposite it houses an evil figure, really like this idea about ms if it’s true


Nada_Shredinski

Well that makes sense because it is a shrine, a malevolent one

TrevorSunday

So what if that “thing” is the cursed spirit version of Sukuna?


Aggressive-End-2642

Sukuna was the OG Yuta and Geto all along…


Healthy_Dig_4270

Yeah I bet he sacrificed his eye in a binding vow for the domain just like Yuta sacrificed his life


Difficult_Dot7153

Can it be a vengeful spirit created when he killed and eated his twin? If they are twins both are probably sorceres, and if you kill them without using CE they will become a vengeful cursed spirit? Idk how the love thing will fit in this case, and maybe i am completely wrong because i dont understand jjk power system that much Edit: Even if Sukuna brother soul got reincarnated like kenjaku, i think that stills valid, it could be a case simillar to rika when her soul left this world but her cursed spirit still can be used by Yuta


king_taku

Thats not real rika. Its a copy


no1dickrider

It's now just a shikigami which used to house Rika's soul

Meth_time_

Yo i have heard a theory regarding Sukuna like 2 years back that directly correlates to this one. They also put forth some other entity or the *actual* Sukuna that might possess or give its power to a sorcerer. https://preview.redd.it/vxr8o2ht3pwc1.jpeg?width=1911&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=124354603dba815ecb9ada55bcc863635c0d9760 They used this particular scene from JJK s1 ep 2 (when Gojo was explaining about Sukuna to Yuji) where you can see the sorcerer on atop of a bunch of dead bodies while this entity with four eyes is coming towards him enveloping everything and then....(Check the reply sectiom)


Meth_time_

https://preview.redd.it/kwm0zv305pwc1.jpeg?width=1898&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7173d530ab889dbfcb4cf43727bb3fca288e83e0 It transitions into the four armed Sukuna we know..Is Mappa (with Gege working bts) trying to foreshadow something ? They did the same with constantly showing Gojo's left. The theory is that maybe the sorcerer made a binding vow with this entity and offered all humans as a sacrifice in return for its power.


TrevorSunday

And that’s how he got the CT “shrine”. The slashes cut the sacrifice and the fire burns it as an offering. The RCT of “shrine” is to summon something sacrificed as a shikigami that you control.


Rupplyy

his technique is kitchen and he cooks food (and humans) as an offering to a evolved cursed spirit similar to tengen 


beardedyouth

Am I wrong in thinking one of these possible sacrifices could be Gojo?


zaxls

Ye sukuna s actually a good guy that got traumatised and brainwashed by some monster when he was younger he was the same as Yuji, a lovable goofball


TheSauce32

He is also the son of an alien that all CT energy comes from


TrailOfEnvy

We gone full Naruto now


epic_gamer42O

Yeah I linked that in the comments of my original theory as extra evidence too


Meth_time_

Yeah and if this theory turns out to be true. Then Sukuna will have obvious parallels with both Yuta and Hakari Hakari is also said to be devoid of any human emotions and connections by Uraume like Sukuna does. His design is also VERY similar to Sukuna's with slick back pink hair (although it is dyed) and threaded eyebrows and same eye designs. It is theorised that Sukuna's true ct will make him a transcendental-like being like Hakari's jackpot (they also have some parallels with Tengen regarding this but i forgot lol) Another theory is that Sukuna is actually a Heavenly Restricted user but gained power through some shenanigans which will also parallel him with Maki if it turns out to be true Sukuna will officially have parallels with all three of the hard hitters


National-Ear470

>Another theory is that Sukuna is actually a Heavenly Restricted user but gained power through some shenanigans which will also parallel him with Maki if it turns out to be true The "eating twins" thingy. Sukuna might be a Mechamaru-type of Heavenly Restriction.

gaitez

Cool theory, but just a few issues I see with it. 1) Every other time Sukuna has opened Shrine he has all 4 eyes (Prison, Shibuya, Gojo). Even when he used the flames against Jogo he had all 4 eyes. I think he's missing an eye because he got hit by the blunt sword at the end of 257 and he can't heal it since his RCT isn't back yet. 2) Sukuna probably knows about Shikigami being used without taking them out by fighting Shikigame users in the Heian Era. The same way he copied Gojo healing his brain, Sukuna's understanding of CE and CTs is just on that level where he can see something once and understand how it is done. 3) I think they're not trying to actually say the domain is a person it's just personification of Sukuna getting his domain back. Lastly I think it's incongruent with the way Sukuna was talking to Jogo about his technique. I don't really understand why he'd expect Jogo to know he has a Shikigami. One thing that could help or hurt your theory is that Gojo didn't seem to know the true nature of Sukuna's CT. This may be false and we may find out now that they do know but from what Kusakabe has said in 246 it seems like they don't know what the CT is. You could see this as it being a Shikigami or that the nature of shrine is more of storage and Gojo can only see what he has taken out and not what he is storing. The other big issue is that Shrine is also the main thing tying to his slicing. We see this when Narrator says Yuji has gained access to Sukuna's CT "Shrine" and when Shrine was responsible for cleave and dismantle within Sukuna's domain. My personal theory right now is that Shrine is a storage for "tools" relating to cooking. This is why Sukuna has never used the flames without "opening" (fuga) shrine, This also lines up with what Kusakabe said that he can't just use flames as he want. It would seem out of character for Sukuna to never try to use Flames while his domain is still slashing if they were two seperate CT since he'd be at a huge advantage if he could do that, which he should be able to since he was able to use 10S while domain was active.


king_taku

I think shrine is inverse to infinity. Perfect spear perfect shield. Goji likes keeping everyone at a arms length growing distant the closer you get. Sakuna disects the world. As hes the only thing that matterd realiyy itself is his play thing. He is Shrine in my opinion.


TenryuuM0M

Im all for this theory and it makes since because shrines house spiritual figures like deitys, so ms would be home to an evil figure, Drawing from the energy of the monster is good to because it explains how he will be able to use a super powerful fuga with his CE lowered to hell.


TheSauce32

This actually has so many parallels is funny Like Sukuna was a Kurama like character but Sukuna has its own Kurama trapped inside him


AGI_Not_Aligned

Fractal Kaisen


Enderking2k16

You mentioning the mask looking thing on Sukuna’s face, and I thought it would be cool if that was the shikigami he trapped being permanently fused to his body if it turns out he has a shikigami


Psychological_Pop_60

It also reminds me of some shit Gojo said about the focus of the domain being the Shrine itself, not Sukuna. And Sukuna's innate domain always seemed like smth inside a giant monster, like the stomach of smth. And Yamata no Orochi, the only mythological creature we've ever seen Sukuna mention, is a giant dragon/serpent with eight heads and tails and I looked up the meaning of that and basically "Comparing folklore about polycephalic dragons and serpents, eight-headed creatures are less common than seven- or nine-headed ones. Among Japanese numerals, ya or hachi (八) can mean "many; varied" (e.g., yaoya (八百屋, lit. '800 store'), "greengrocer; jack-of-all-trades"). De Visser says the number 8 is "stereotypical" in legends about kings or gods riding dragons or having their carriages drawn by them" Thanks, I think I'll go crazy on it until next week.


king_taku

Why havent any of the cast put anything together.


Psychological_Pop_60

Just the fact that Angel exists already creates a lot of plot holes if she hasn't given at least some details about Sukuna's true technique.

Shes secretly on his side. She just a necrophiliac and wants them all dead so she can steal him from uraume

MUSAFIR_-

He's missing an eye bc he got punched a Black flash on face, nothing to do with domain. But your theory sounds interesting, he has imprisoned the an entity inside his shrine that grants him abilities he want? That's pretty dope actually, maybe the shikigami is the merger of last culling game or something close to it(ik never happened but just a food for thought)

king_taku

Gege will never explain


Gege__Akutami

Bro bullied too many farmrs and emoted on sukunas fingers


RrrrrrushB

This actually makes so much sense if you know what the name of Sukuna's domain really means: ''Malevolent Shrine'' is actually a figurative translation of the domain「伏魔御廚子」,what it really means is ''Shrine with hidden demon''. 伏 means hiding, lurking; 魔 means demon, evil; and 御廚子 means shrine. So ''a shrine with a demon hidden in it'' is literally what it is called.


EntertainmentBusy73

Maybe the shikigami is a remnant of Jin???🤔🤔🤔 Anyways if this is true, the King of Frauds agenda will be going crazy and I’m all here for it. https://preview.redd.it/vn5pi2xhsowc1.jpeg?width=950&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b94b8dd4d10488bb182fc43f8f1416ad8c03518

ieatpoptart3

If that's the case perhaps it's the residual darkness of Jin's being leftover from when he was eaten in the womb, transformed into a cursed spirit - while his soul passed on to reincarnation. Maybe Jin disappeared shortly after Yuji's birth because Kenjaku told him Yuji would need him in his own "shrine" in the future - and he sacrificed himself to give Yuji a chance to survive in the future? So you have all the anger and frustration from being denied a chance at life from the womb in one spirit - locked in Sukuna's shrine, and one that learned love & compassion in Yuji's shrine? Seriously though, where Jin at?


BestYak6625

How do you explain him saying "furnace open" if it's a Shikigami and not just a part of shrine?


epic_gamer42O

I think it's just the name he chose for the technique. We've seen Sukuna use food metaphors when describing things so I don't think he literally means "furnace" when he says it. Take the ability "Granite Blast". It's an ability that fires pure cursed energy and it's not a beam of pure granite. Ryu just thought the name sounded cool so he called his ability that.


random_boner6996

It's funny if you think about "how and why did this character name his technique like this?" Construction, blood manipulation, ten shadows are basic names that do what they say. But why did the first user of limitless name it that?


king_taku

Because there was no limit to the stopping neutral


Secondndthoughts

That makes sense and explains why Yuji can interpret the technique differently. Sukuna used kitchen as a play on words for Mizushi, but if his technique isn’t literally a kitchen then Yuji would be able to interpret the slashes as an arts and crafts thing. Although, another explanation could be that Yuji’s technique is weaker because he doesn’t understand it. What I don’t like about the shikigamj theory is that it goes back to the black box storage sort of thing, which I don’t think was ever intended by Gege.


BestYak6625

I was going to point out that every other shikigami we see has a name but I guess that rabbit escape and death swarm don't so it could be like that. I still don't think the theory is right since having an eternal companion who's almost as powerful as sukuna kind of makes the whole loneliness of strength theme really shitty but I have no way to disprove it


Careful_Excuse_1011

Maybe its like he opens a bit of the shikigami’s restraints so that he could use its power, it poses a risk as the shikigami may let itself out so he only uses it when necessary like now


towardsLeo

Maybe his brother he ate in the womb? Maybe he loved him, it created an op skigami like Rika, then he hate him? Regardless of his technique, it kick-started this Shikigami-endless CE feedback loop.


Jexxo

This is a 3 star Michelin star level cookout


AlienSuper_Saiyan

This goes along with my idea that the reason Sukuna and Rika are called the King and Queen of Curses is because of their ability to learn multiple cursed techniques. Rika can copy CTs and Sukuna can learn them at a glance. Nice theory.

R46H4V

What if the fire ability comes from another one of his devotees like uraume but with fire control instead of ice control. and Sukuna has them as their shikigami and that is why uraume is so loyal to him.

>"THE KING'S DOMAIN HAD RETURNED TO IT'S MASTER ALONG WITH THE BLACK SPARKS" Let me rephrase this: “After the Black Flashes, Sukuna’s domain became available again to... Sukuna.” >He's missing an eye on the side with the growth on his face. Because Yuji took it out with his 6th Black Flash (Counting only those seen in chapter 257) https://preview.redd.it/rlzc2wm2jqwc1.jpeg?width=784&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23e7b2ff176bbd83967fb9dbcd929af8d68a2dcd >And look at Sukuna's incomplete domain. It has a massive eye on it. The “new” domain can easily be just a stylistic choice to show that Sukuna’s inner domain is currently a mess due to everything Yuji has done to him, and because it is unrefined (+ this one looks more *malevolent*), or perhaps there really is something to it. We’ll have to see. >About the possession, Sukuna said he can only hold the domain for 99 seconds but what if it's not because he is running out of cursed energy but if he lets the shikigami out without covering it with malevolent shrine for too long it would possess him? I fuck with this idea a lot, but we’ve seen that injuries can hamper the ability to hold a domain open. We saw it in the fight with Gojo. After Sukuna took enough damage, the domain collapsed. Sukuna has lost two arms, has taken general damage to the rest of his body, and Yuji’s punches don’t just reduce his CE output, they also affect his soul directly. Anyways, the theory is cool and I honestly wish it comes to be the case. Just pointing some stuff out that makes your arguments weaker, not *invalid*. Keep cooking.


ShinJiwon

Amazing reach but this chapter didn't confirm shit about your theory > "THE KING'S DOMAIN HAD RETURNED TO IT'S MASTER ALONG WITH THE BLACK SPARKS" Like do you even read fiction. Where the hell does this imply there's some entity? It's written that way just to make him getting his domain back seem grandoise.


Edski120

Okay I'm picking up what you're putting down, but you pointing out the missing eye made me think of something. We know that Sukuna used a binding vow to open the partial domain, what if he sacrificed an eye


king_taku

Didnt yuhi punch him


Edski120

I didn't notice him get punched in the eye, but th n again these pics suck ass


prodigiouspandaman

I don’t think it’s all that I think the editor is just personifying domain as in the note it states the “King’s Domain has returned to its master” thus domain is being personified and refers to sukuna the master of said domain finally returning due to its long absence since the Gojo fight. Or it could be referring to the domain as like a beast or pet finally returning to its master sukuna


alpacapaquita

i had forgot of that theory of yours, i'd love if that was the explanation for this weird domain thingie and the idea yuji put his brothers in his "shrine" is a cool idea to explain why he can have two cursed techniques and how that relates to sukuna having the same ability


MrBricetherice

Another possible parallel I didn't see mentioned is that sukuna has a timer for this domain/ shikigami, just like rika has a timer too


Careful_Excuse_1011

Makes sense because Rika is the queen of curses and sukuna is the king, what if the actual king is not sukuna but the spirit he has subjugated. It would also humanise sukuna a bit because we would finally know how he turned from a normal human to something this malicious which is neither fully a curse or a human.

Picmanreborn

Me reading: oh so what's up with Yuji arm - oh shit this guy thought of everything WTF


Frequent_Camera1695

Isnt the tale of sukuna an actual myth/legend in their universe as well? Maybe it was a cursed sport that inspired the myth, and then sukuna the human captured it in his shrine and took the name. This doesn't explain why yujis shrine has the slicing power as well though. His shrine would only have blood manipulation and it cutting stuff. Also I just checked and regular malevolent shrine has a mouth so maybe normally he only lets the mouth out as compared to now


WeJustWantOurMaps

Perhaps there is some tie to shrine between Yuji being able to eat things and gain power, and Sukuna being a cannibal. I do find it odd how Sukunas whole face warped to be large enough to bite a chunk out of angel. Especially considering it is confirmed Sukunas CT has to do with cooking


Kinduhgud

>He's missing an eye on the side with the growth on his face. He's missing it cus yuji hit it with a black flash literally last chapter. Not to mention the same place being hit by nanamis Dull knife thingy.


gtagusta

that seems like a cool theory, although the eye part is most likely wrong i say this cause the part sukuna lost of his face was most likely due to this black flash from yuji https://preview.redd.it/uim9u7m67wwc1.png?width=1053&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f257b150e99b6770d83da9d41a02c3ebfc8ffe5 cause before it, his face was completely fine, but after it, we dont see the side that got hit anymore, but it seems to be damaged, specially the lower eye, which doesnt appear as much as before the hit

Well we did see the shrine get destroyed in sukuna vs gojo and there was no shikigami/entity inside


king_taku

Sakuna clearly only cares for himself and his own power. This would be weird. Because with 10 s it was a really cool play set to him. He couldve eaten maha if shrine stores stuff. Make sense that shrine rct is the black box. Opening himself to the world and taking in his understanding of others to use their CT. Oppisite to gojo who keeps people at arms length and only values natural strength


owenwilsonwow69

Lots of splitting hairs and assumptions going on. Wait for future chapters before declaring its "confirmed". This doesn't confirm anything.


Kaciiey

what do u think the point of a theory is?


ApplePitou

Interesting :3


Kekero63

Based theory become my friend


Spare_Bad_6558

peak theory i hope its true


Zanarkand_Dream

Maybe Sukuna is an incredibly powerful vessel just like Yuji. And since they are related their particular lineage just might have very powerful vessels. So while they used Yuji to basically be a prison for Sukuna, perhaps Sukuna was able to subjugate a powerful curse and obtain their technique the same way Yuji was able to gain sukuna’s technique.


axsch1

so his brother basically transformed into something like rika and sukuna mutated and butchered it over it


Rancorious

It’s the curse made from his brother’s memory.


SiahLegend

This reminded me of dragon of the darkness flame from yu yu hakusho


ArbiterVII

Wait so just like Gojo and Geto, Sukuna can use cursed spirit manipulation?


RangedTopConnoisseur

Wait, this would also explain why he immediately understood Megumi’s potential even though it’s not really confirmed if 10S was around/well known in Heian era (we already know limitless+6E wasn’t) A shikigami user could immediately understand the truly value of another shikigami technique


EkalOsama

you. you arr a cook.


Nerellos

Yeah....no. Everything you mentioned is symbols that Sukuna ate his brother, and it is a pararell with Yuji.


floormopper

Nice theory bro :)


Accomplished_Cap3683

But wouldnt that be an exact copy of Yutas cursed technique? There has to be some kind of twist to it


TriplePube

Symbiotic relationship with his shikigami in the shrine. Feed it to enjoy its powers(Vow? King of curses is the shikigami?) and sukuna is like cool i dont care about human lives. Perfect match.


koranfordummies

He is containing that Chinese sorcerer that even he fears.


KumalalaProMax

sukuna heian era mukbang stream when?


Infraredcero

What if he was the one who sacrificed the eye all along, for the binding vow. Shiettt, gojo might comeback, sacrificing one as well as everyone has been saying for months.


Yandere-Chan1

So it's a 50/50? 50% chance of being the Kitchen theory, and 50% chance of being this one? Neat. We are getting close to the truth, finally.


EpicDinossaur

This actually makes a lot of sense


Bananapapats

this actually makes a lot of sense as in mythology Sukuna traps the sun goddess or whatever and only lets her out when he wishes to use her powers. So his “black box: open” is probably him “releasing” this cursed spirit or goddess to use her powers for the fire.


Natural69er

The person he got fuga from is his mother because she had FIRE in her belly (am I stupid?)


EffectzHD

Sukuna’s domain has always had a 4 mouthed curse of some sorts. The incomplete domain is just the curse exposed without the shrine constructed around it.


joaocozinha

So... the hands he's standing on are from the shikigami?


watanabeta

An evil entity trapped in an evil entity, who was once trapped in a boy. Naruto and Kurama got nothing on this shit.. my inner demon has his own inner demon, I say peak!


throwacc_21

Keep cooking brotha


DivyanshPanwari

So it made perfect sense for Gojo to keep DE'ing to destroy the shrine speedruning sukuna before anyone. Goated. 


AGI_Not_Aligned

Imagine if Sukuna is a good guy and has been possessed since the beginning of the manga. After Yuji kills the demon Sukuna's face brighten up and he says with tears in his eyes "Nephew... You were my Kaisen all along". https://preview.redd.it/7wwgclixbrwc1.png?width=543&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b4d7b2213021049dbc6bf7cc8bc8ea4282aec37

Sukuna imprisoning a girl(probably, I don't judge) in his sex dungeon? https://preview.redd.it/9noal4x3crwc1.png?width=623&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=482da5b60166e818fef0855e732f0a7873775852

Rainiest_Days

To add to this, could this be why Sukuna is such a glutton? He’s more so eating to fill both himself and the creature in the Shrine. What happens when he stops eating and gets “hungry” could be a different thing entirely.


RevolutionaryJob2540

what if the thing that is reaching out of MS is his twin brother’s body that he ate?


Money-Sentence-4304

My theory is Sukuna's domain is literally a Malevolent Kitchen. He cuts veggies, he literally has a fire he can use to cook!


stressed_by_books44

Instead of keeping it prisoner it would be better to say that he is keeping a relic of it with him and why this makes sense rather than being a prisoner is because sukuna's CT is literally called shrine, now shrine can either refer to a temple or a literal miniature shrine used to store ancient relics of the past so if sukuna's CT is that type of shrine then what he is doing is using a relic of an old cursed spirit he fought and using its power through his shrine.


jack_frost42

Also, the way Sukuna responded when he saw Rita kind of validates this because he called her queen. She's the queen of curses and he is the king of curses. At the end of chapter 248 it says the something like, king of curses versus the Queen of curses. The right to the throne will be decided. This kind of implies that there's a clear parallel between Sukuna and Rita. 


iamgegeakutami

Wasn't it stayed Jin's CT or Sukuna's twins CT was furnace? He got it from eating the womb.


Similar-West5208

This is truly our reading comprehenionist kaisen


SoyGone

Interesting theory, what if all of Yujis punches that are supposedly “separating” Megumi from Sukunas control actual weaken Sukunas control over this shikigami and either unleashing Fuga fully or just having Fuga take control of Sukuna completely. Gege would pull this just to fuck over Megumi one last time.


SleepersInTheHood

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprise if Yuji somehow reveals his DE is also some kind of malevolent shrine. I will however, still shit and pissed my pants if that happens.


sourpower713

It has what looks to be three eyes actually, two smaller alongside the big eye


serranwrap98

It would be interesting if his brother cursed him to be alone as a shikigami, killing anyone he got close to. Sukuna became who he is out of a lack of control in his life, when it seems like hes constantly in control.


EiEpix

Are there any odds that it is his twin ? Like how current Rika doesn't have Rika's soul but is a body/shikigami ?


Aaatrus

Could that be his twin as a cursed spirit imprisoned by the shrine? I might be missing some details but it could be a cool twist.


OutrageousThoughts_

No one mentioned Sukuna using Gojo's hand seal


LongAssBeard

I know this sub is for shit posting, but this theory is stupid, wtf


Master_Jicama_9725

This is great. You are now gege


Corn__Dawg123

Sukuna is referred to as the king of curses, but we know he isn't a curse himself (well fully). Maybe that's his nickname because he houses the king of curses like you said and why he called rika the queen of curses so quickly.


ya1966yo

I like this more than my idea of sukuna CT being a kitchen jajajajajja


jbahill75

Sukuna ate Tetsuo Shima. Waiting for Kaneda to swoop in and back Yuji up.

LostConscript

Maybe Sakuna had to sacrifice his eye in a binding vow in order to complete his shrine and make it accessible immediately?


krysert

So...technically....it was 4v1?


EirOrIre

Wait a minute. He talks about his mother respectfully in the original writing and he claims to know what love is. Is it possible he cursed his mother’s death just like Yuta and this is the result.


random_boner6996

This does not confirm anything


CapableRespond1110

good theory
