Sukuna (Ukiyo)

## Ryomen Sukuna

**Ryomen Sukuna** (両面宿儺, *Ryōmen Sukuna*?), otherwise just called **Sukuna** (宿儺, *Sukuna*?), is the infamous King of Curses from one thousand years ago, reincarnated in the modern era via an unknown Host.

## Appearance

Whilst incarnated, Sukuna morphs his Host's body until it is masculine, not feminine, and makes it to where he assumes a bulky, muscular build similar to that which he once had. The trademark black markings of Sukuna cover his arms, chest and face, whilst the silver hair of his Host is brushed up and shortened into a wild, spiky mess. His eyes turn red, and two more form under the normal two.

Clothing-wise, Sukuna wears the same outfit as his Host, though tears off the shirt halves of the uniform to reveal his many markings.

## Personality

Sukuna himself is a generally calm but rude and sadistic man. A man finds pleasure in battle and especially in fighting those who can test his strength. Sukuna shows little care for the problems of others, rarely focusing on helping others or even aligning himself with them unless absolutely necessary, or if it has something for him which he wants included.

## Synopsis

### Sukuna's Resurrection Event

Sukuna makes his debut in an event all around him. Arriving in Shibuya with Yoichi Nakamura, Sukuna is quick to consume a second finger and become Semi-Special Grade in strength, soon thereafter challenging the arriving jujutsu sorcerers to battle. Starting off with a brutal attack against one student, tearing off their arm and throwing them away with it, Sukuna then turns his attention to weaving around the others' attacks nonchalantly, avoiding or blocking all their attempts with relative ease, all the while several others, like Hendo Gojo and Ryoto Zen'in, stand by the side watching. Another student throws a stop sign at Sukuna, which he catches and turns into two sword-like weapons.

Wanting to spice things up, Sukuna challenges Hendo in one-on-one combat, wagering the lives of the rest of the group on Hendo's success, though never declaring they wouldn't be involved. Quickly clashing with the boy in close-quarters, Sukuna has the evident advantage and is able to bash Hendo around for a moment. Despite this, Hendo manages to use a faulty form of his Cursed Technique, causing a shockwave-explosion that throws both he and Sukuna in opposing directions: Sukuna going skywards and ironically avoiding a two-person attack from Malcom Moreno and another sorcerer.

What followed was a quick series of team-ups, with students and even teachers from both Tokyo and Kyoto working together in hopes of beating Sukuna down. Ryoto and Omaku Itadori work in a team to try and rush Sukuna, both managing to push him quite a distance away though not dealing enough damage to injure him. Kuro Tanaka used his Cursed Speech to immobilize Sukuna briefly, whilst Shimizu Kazuo only compounded this via a sinkhole. Oct Zen'in also helped, using Ten Shadows' The Well's Unknown Abyss to snare Sukuna's limbs with frog tongues. Jirō Gojo, Hirai Hikaru, Malcom and Yoshifumi Tsukasa all attack Sukuna with their various techniques.

As this all wraps up, Sukuna's body warps to a woman's again as a different voice speaks, then casting Solo Forbidden Area in Technique Reversal, creating a cursed energy-dampening arena in which everyone around "Sukuna", except themselves, has their energy and techniques weakened. This, ironically, also weakened Ryoto's cursed energy, strengthening his Heavenly Restriction briefly and causing him to enter a fit of lunacy before shattering Sukuna's arm with a heavy dropkick, sending the King of Curses flying away and skidding. Before he can truly admire the sudden change in power, Sukuna is attacked by Ymir Zen'in using Projection Sorcery... but, due to her technique being weakened by Solo Forbidden Area, Sukuna easily regenerates his missing arm, grapples Ymir by the face and chucks her aside.

The Host of Sukuna then calls for Yoichi for pick-up, much to Sukuna's chagrin, but the King of Curses nonetheless complies and bids farewell. He acknowledges the strength of both Hendo and Ryoto for their age and then disappears in a sudden burst of motion.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill**: As a millennium-old sorcerer-turned-cursed spirit and the infamous "King of Curses", Sukuna is a prolific fighter and user of jujutsu sorcery, considered to be one of, if not the, best of all of history. Able to use jujutsu with immense proficiency, chant incantation and use hand-signs in almost instantaneous fashion, and being an especially remarkable fighter at close-quarters, Sukuna is well-rounded but also excels in almost all fields.

**Hand-to-Hand Combat**: Sukuna is a capable taijutsu fighter, able to, despite a body less suitable for his ways, easily keep up with and fight various sorcerers at once, including Hendo — who is close to him in all-round strengths — in close range with minimal effort, shown as he nearly effortlessly beat down Hendo with a swift series of punches and kicks to the boy. He can struggle when fighting various sorcerers and techniques at once, although this is only for a brief period before he adjusts to their abilities and styles.
