Jujutsu Kaisen has undeniably become a juggernaut in anime and manga. Its success owes much to the formidable antagonist, Ryomen Sukuna, whose presence has elevated the series to new heights.
From the jaw-dropping box office success of the feature film Jujutsu Kaisen 0 to the manga’s dominance as a best-seller for consecutive years, Sukuna’s impact is palpable.
Centuries before the main storyline, Sukuna established himself as the most powerful jujutsu sorcerer, transcending into twenty cursed objects for eventual reincarnation within Itadori Yuji’s body.
Despite Yuji’s attempts to resist Sukuna’s influence, the villain’s potency remains unmatched. His mastery is showcased in the fearsome Malevolent Shrine Domain Expansion, a technique that transcends conventional barriers.
In the Shinjuku Showdown, Sukuna faces an unexpected challenge in Maki, whose lack of cursed energy renders her impervious to traditional domain attacks. To counter this, Sukuna crafts a Malevolent Shrine, an advanced domain that materializes in reality, bypassing conventional defenses.
This technique, employing techniques like Cleave and Dismantle, demonstrates Sukuna’s unparalleled prowess in jujutsu sorcery.
Moreover, keen-eyed fans have noted intriguing parallels between Sukuna’s Domain Expansion and the foreshadowed merger involving Master Tengen and Fushiguro Megumi. This insight suggests a deeper connection between Sukuna and his counterparts, hinting at future developments in the series.
Sukuna’s legacy as a villain is not just defined by his raw power but also by the intricate depth of his character and the evolving dynamics he brings to the narrative.
