Ryomen Sukuna

A sorcerer from the golden age who became the standard by which curses are measured, and whose remains were too durable to destroy. Sealed into twenty fingers, he now speaks from inside Yuji with amused contempt, trading favours for seconds of control. He kills for entertainment and keeps his own counsel about what he actually wants.

In Yuji's body he is marked by black lines across the face, a second pair of eyes, and a mouth that opens on the cheek. His own form, glimpsed in the shadow-space between them, has four arms and a second face, and everything about it is designed to be looked at and feared.

Bored, elegant, and entirely without obligation. He finds humans interesting the way a diner finds a menu interesting, and he keeps his word only where a vow binds him. His contempt is general, but he reserves genuine interest for anyone strong enough to be worth the trouble.

A sorcerer of the golden age, remembered as the standard by which curses are judged. He could not be destroyed, so his remains were sealed into twenty indestructible fingers and scattered. Each one Yuji swallows returns a measure of him, and the elders' plan requires collecting all of them before killing the boy.

1. Fearsome Womb

   Takes over during the detention centre mission, dismantles a special-grade curse for entertainment, and forces a binding vow to bring Yuji back.

2. Vs. Mahito

   Speaks from inside, offering commentary and bargains, and takes an interest in the curse faction's plans.

3. Kyoto Sister-School Exchange Event

   Remains a permanent threat behind Yuji's shoulder as the fingers accumulate.

Yuji Itadori

Vessel

A body he finds durable and a personality he finds tedious; their arrangement is contractual, not sentimental.

Megumi Fushiguro

Object of interest

He takes an unexplained interest in Megumi's technique from their first meeting.

Satoru Gojo

Measure of the age

The only living sorcerer he regards as a serious question.

• Taking over in the detention centre and destroying a special grade in seconds.
• Forcing the binding vow that restores Yuji's life on Sukuna's terms.
• Sparing Megumi for reasons he declines to explain.

• His remains proved impossible to destroy, which is why sealing them into fingers was the best available answer.
• The elders' plan depends on him being fully assembled before Yuji is executed.
