Appearance

In his past, he was depicted as a demon with four arms and two heads. Currently, he looks like a host, but has spiky hair and special tattoos on his forehead, nose, cheeks, and body. He also has a second pair of eyes below normal eyes (mostly closed). Sukuna also has two lines on the wrists, biceps, two circles on both shoulders with a dot, two segmented curves on the chest, and two lines on the abdomen when possessing Yuji.

Sukuna usually wears a light-colored kimono with black trim, black scarf and black shoes.

Personality

Sukuna is a sadist who is greedy, cold-hearted, and immoral. He made a statement shortly after Yuji swallowed his finger when he was reincarnated, suggesting the slaughter of women and children and comparing them to crawling maggots. He is unconcerned about the repercussions of his acts because of his immense strength, even though they affect his host, Yuji Itadori. In fact, he frequently taunts and insults Yuji, calling him a brat and even laughing at or enjoying Yuji’s despair on multiple occasions.

Sukuna is well aware of his enormous power and boasts about it, brutalizing a finger bearer while patronizing and declaring his dominance over it. As a result, he is dismissive of his critics and rarely takes them seriously, even saying openly that he will destroy Satoru Gojo. These brutish characteristics, however, should not be confused with stupidity. Sukuna is cunning and cunning, keeping Yuji’s body hostage by ripping out his heart in order to force him into a Binding Vow.

Despite his shortcomings, Sukuna does have a sliver of mercy, as shown by his behavior during the Shibuya Incident, when he went out of his way to save Megumi. This was due to Megumi’s argument that he might beat him. He’s also shown the ability to respect and compliment his rivals, as evidenced by the fact that, despite having fully overpowered Jogo, he recognized his strength and told him he should be proud.

Trivia about Sukuna

Sukuna is based on the character of the same name in Japanese mythology: Ryōmen-sukuna (両 り ょ う 面 め ん 宿 す く 儺 な ). He is a ghost / ghost-like character depicted in Nihon Shoki, believed to have appeared in Hida prefecture (present-day Gifu prefecture) in ancient times, during the reign of Emperor Nintoku. He is described as a man of extraordinary strength, with a two-faced head plus a total of 8 limbs, 4 arms and legs corresponding to each face. Holding a multitude of weapons (including bows, arrows and swords), he terrorized village after village in ancient Hida, plundering and leaving chaos. Until a brave military commander dispatched by the Imperial Court, named Takefurukuma, stepped out and put an end to the monster’s tyranny, banishing Hida.

Ryomen-sukuna was worshiped by some as a god, and statues depicting his distinctly double-faced head are still found today in the temples of Gifu.
