Sukuna/Synopsis

History
Over a thousand years ago, Sukuna was a human sorcerer that had killed many of the sorcerers from the golden age of jujutsu. After Sukuna had died, his fingers became cursed objects.

Fearsome Womb Arc
One of Sukuna's fingers was kept in an outdoor thermometer box at Sugisawa High School. The school's occult club had taken the finger from the thermometer box and had tried to remove the seal placed on it. Once they had taken the seal of the finger off, other cursed spirits that the finger had drawn in attack the club members. As Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro came in to save the club members, Yuji eats the finger in order to fight off the cursed spirits.

This causes Sukuna to be incarnated into Yuji, which he is excited about. As Sukuna plans to start a massacre, he is stopped by Yuji who reclaims his body, which surprises the cursed spirit that he is able to resist his control so easily. When Megumi plans to kill Yuji to exorcise Sukuna, Satoru Gojo shows up and decides to test out Yuji's will. Sukuna is then given control of Yuji's body and starts to attack Gojo, but Yuji manages to take back control after ten seconds.

The next day, another one of Sukuna's finger is shown to Yuji, with Gojo explaining how there are twenty of them and that they cannot be destroyed. Yuji then eats another of Sukuna's fingers and is able to still keep Sukuna under control. Days later when Yuji is brought to the Tokyo College, Sukuna finds out that Gojo is not the leader of the sorcerers and says how he is disappointed. Sukuna also tells Gojo that he will kill Gojo first when he takes over Yuji's body, for not killing Yuji right away. As Gojo says that it's an honor to be targeted by Sukuna, Gojo then explains who Sukuna is to a curious Yuji.

During an investigation at a detention center, Sukuna is forcefully given control of Yuji's body to combat a special grade cursed spirit before it kills them. Instead of taking on the spirit, Sukuna decides to fight with the spirit in order to take out Megumi. When the spirit starts to attack Sukuna, Sukuna easily blocks the attacks and easily overwhelms the spirit. Sukuna then decides to teach the spirit a lesson and uses his domain expansion to easily cut the spirit into pieces. Sukuna then takes back his finger, which causes the spirit to die. Sukuna is prepared for Yuji to take back control, telling him to switch already, but when nothing happens, he eerily smiles realizing he can't.

Sukuna meets up with Megumi outside of the detention center, and removes Yuji's heart so that Yuji won't be able to switch with him. Sukuna then eats the finger that he had just got from the special grade cursed spirit and plans on killing Megumi. Sukuna and Megumi start to fight, where Sukuna easily defeats some of Megumi's shikigami, though he is impressed by the skill in which he utilizes them. Sukuna manages to push Megumi into a corner, questioning him on why he focused on fleeing, which confuses Megumi. Nonetheless, Megumi decides to fight seriously, which greatly enthuses Sukuna, but before the fight can continue, Yuji regains control from Sukuna, which results in Yuji's death.

After Yuji has died, Sukuna and Yuji start to fight one another within Sukuna's territory. Sukuna easily overpowers Yuji and after restraining Yuji, he tells him that they are not dead yet.

Sukuna proposes to bring Yuji back to life, with the condition that he will be able to take complete control of his body for a minute, but also swearing he won't harm any of his friends when he does. Yuji rejects and tells him just to revive him, so Sukuna proposes that they fight and the winner get their deal. Yuji accepts, but Sukuna immediately defeats him. Yuji is subsequently revived, aware that Sukuna is responsible, though with no memory of the deal he made with him.

Vs. Mahito Arc
One of Sukuna's fingers was placed in Junpei Yoshino's home, which resulted in Junpei's mother, Nagi Yoshino's death. Mahito then shows Junpei the finger and explains how it draws in cursed spirits. Mahito also manages to convince Junpei that it was one of his classmates who was responsible, even through it was in fact Mahito and Geto.

When Junpei slowly dies from Mahito using his Idle Transfiguration on him, Yuji desperately asks Sukuna for help in saving Junpei, but Sukuna sadistically refuses and mocks Yuji for relying on him when things get tough. Sukuna and Mahito then laugh at Yuji for being unable to save Junpei from his cruel fate. This would result in an enraged Yuji trying to finish off Mahito to avenge Junpei's death.

During the fight, Mahito tries to attack Yuji with his Idle Transfiguration, but Sukuna appears, warning Mahito not to touch his soul again and forces the curse out of his territory. However, Mahito taps into Sukuna's again upon witnessing Yuji breaking into his domain to help Kento Nanami. Sukuna senses that Mahito has touched his soul again and brutally wounds him for attempting to mess with him. Sukuna's finger is then collected and brought back to the college.

Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc
The fingers that are at the Tokyo college are collected, along with the Death Painting Wombs 1-3, by Mahito.

Death Painting Arc
After Sukuna was incarnated, the finger at Yasohachi Bridge awakens and starts to kill people. Megumi manages to defeat the spirit that has Sukuna's finger and retrieve it, which Sukuna is glad that Megumi was able to get stronger. After Yuji and Nobara Kugisaki reunite with Megumi, Sukuna creates a mouth on Yuji's palm and eats the finger when Megumi gives it to Yuji.

Days later, Sukuna taunts Yuji about how his awakening is killing people because he had eaten one of his fingers, which Yuji simply tells Sukuna to not to tell Megumi.

Shibuya Incident Arc
As the Shibuya Incident occurs, Gojo is sealed in Prison Realm by Pseudo-Geto, and the next step for the cursed spirits is to deal with Yuji and Sukuna. Mahito and Choso want to kill Yuji for their own reasons, but Jogo wants to release Sukuna. They decide to make it a game to see who succeeds in their goal.

After Yuji's fight against Choso, Sukuna comments on how pathetic it was that Yuji could have lost to an inferior opponent, but is surprised when he suddenly stumbles away, sparing his life and leaving him unconscious.

Right after this, Suguru Geto's subordinates, Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko Hasaba, approach Yuji and force feed him one of Sukuna's fingers they had collected. Jogo then appears behind them, scaring them away, and proceeding to force feed him the ten fingers they had collected, bringing the total Yuji has ingested to fifteen.

While Jogo still has his fingers around Yuji's neck, Sukuna takes control, demanding the cursed spirit to take them off. He commands the three to kneel before him, and cuts off the top of Jogo's head when he only takes a knee. Sukuna asks Nanako and Mimiko what they want with him, giving them one finger's worth of time. They ask him to kill the imposter possessing Geto, but he simply kills the both of them, as he doesn't like them ordering him around.

Sukuna then asks Jogo, but Jogo says that he wants nothing and explains how he just wants Sukuna to be fully revived. Jogo explains how Yuji can't take control right now and advises that Sukuna make a binding vow to permanently take control, but Sukuna rejects it since he has other plans. Sukuna then makes a deal with Jogo: if he can land a hit on him then he will kill everyone in Shibuya (minus one), which Jogo agrees to.

Sukuna then fights Jogo and completely overwhelms him. Sukuna taunts Jogo, while easily dodging all of his attacks. As Jogo uses his Maximum: Meteor attack, Sukuna notices several sorcerers and curse users on the ground preparing to flee. He suddenly appears before them and forces them all to stay put until he gives the signal. They all stand around fearing for their lives as the attack gets closer, before Sukuna eventually allows them to move right as the attack lands.

Jogo thinks he's succeeded, but Sukuna easily comes out of it unscathed. Sukuna wonders why Jogo is not using his domain, which Jogo says that his domain would lose. As things get interesting, Sukuna starts to use fire based attacks much to Jogo's confusion. Sukuna prepares to continue his fight with Jogo and subsequently defeats him.

As Jogo is dying, Sukuna meets with him and explains how Jogo is weak for trying to be like the humans. As Jogo agrees with him, Sukuna also explains how he had fun fighting Jogo and that he should be proud. Jogo starts to cry and wonders what it is, which Sukuna says that he doesn't know. Suddenly someone shows up to escort Sukuna, which he wonders who they are, only to recognize the person as Uraume. Suddenly, Sukuna senses that Megumi has summoned a powerful shikigami, and tells Uraume that he has something to do. Sukuna tells Uraume that it won't be long until he is completely free, and that Uraume shouldn't neglect their preparations; he bids them farewell and leaves.

Sukuna quickly arrives at the shikigami's location and saves the sorcerer that was facing off against Megumi. Sukuna notices the situation and thinks about how it was a good idea to save them since his death would result in Megumi's death as well. Sukuna heals Megumi and tells him to not die yet since there is something that he needs Megumi to do still. Sukuna thinks about how he'll defeat the shikigami, then that would void the ritual since he is an outsider. Sukuna then prepares to face the shikigami.

Mahoraga attacks with its sword, which Sukuna manages to block. Sukuna then wounds Mahoraga with his technique and figures that Mahoraga's sword is capable of exorcising any spirit since it uses positive energy. Mahoraga heals itself, which Sukuna attacks again but Mahoraga manages to counter it. Sukuna figures that Mahoraga is capable of seeing his technique. Mahoraga attacks which Sukuna tries to block but is sent flying. Mahoraga attacks again but Sukuna dodges and wounds Mahoraga.

Mahoraga heals itself again, which Sukuna figures that Mahoraga's ability is to adapt to any and all phenomena. Sukuna thinks about how this is what Megumi was trying to summon in their last fight, and that Mahoraga would have killed him. Sukuna then activates his domain: Malevolent Shrine, and uses its effect to cut up everything within a certain distance. While this is happening, Sukuna thinks about how to use his ability to defeat Mahoraga. When Mahoraga starts to heal, Sukuna uses a different ability to defeat Mahoraga.

Sukuna starts to leave, and tells Megumi's attacker to leave, in which the attacker runs into Sukuna's domain and dies. Realizing he's about to lose control of the body to Yuji, Sukuna quickly takes Megumi to get medical treatment and leaves. Returning back at the location where he had fought Mahoraga, Sukuna tells Yuji to take a look at all the destruction he caused, as Yuji takes back control, horrified by it all.

Itadori's Extermination Arc
In the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident, following Gojo's concealment and Pseudo-Geto's escape, Yuji's execution by the jujutsu higher-ups is reinstated, with his executioner chosen to be Yuta Okkotsu. He confronts Yuji on the streets, who has been trying to clean up curses with Choso, and proceeds to fight him. Using Rika, Yuta is successfully able to gain the upper hand and stabs Yuji in the chest. Sukuna is initially taken back, annoyed that he has been killed, only to sense something else going on, and eerily smiles.

As it turns out, Yuta had been asked by Gojo to help Yuji, and temporarily killed him to get out of his Binding Vow with the higher-ups, using his Reverse Cursed Technique to promptly heal him.

Culling Game Arc
As everyone is in the midst of dealing with the Culling Game, Yuji and Megumi seek out Hana Kurusu, in hopes of using her Cursed Technique to free Gojo from the Prison Realm. They succeed in finding her, but her symbiotic partner, Angel, tells them that first they have to track down and eliminate "the Disgraced One". In private, Sukuna reveals to Yuji that he is the Disgraced One they are referring to, causing a problem for him and Megumi.

After Master Tengen becomes compromised, Yuji and Megumi begin their attempted counter-plan, starting with rescuing the latter's sister, Tsumiki, from having to participate in the game by giving her points. However right after doing so, she uses her points to allow people to freely travel through colonies, revealing herself to actually be a reincarnated sorcerer known as Yorozu, with Megumi completely speechless.

She flies away, intending to fight Sukuna, but before everyone can react, Sukuna activates his "Enchain" Binding Vow with Yuji, granting him complete control of the body without being able to harm anyone for a full minute. He quickly knocks Hana unconscious, and taking a gamble, rips off one of Yuji's fingers. Sukuna laughs manically realizing that Yuji didn't take himself into account on who he couldn't harm, and before Megumi can do anything, he chokes him out, force-feeding him the finger, and transferring his consciousness into Megumi.

Yuji wakes up and is shocked to see Sukuna controlling Megumi. Sukuna punches Yuji, causing him to spit blood and fly through several buildings. Maki and Takaba notice what happened and try to get to the building where Sukuna is standing. Sukuna sees them and while commenting that no matter what era he is in, insects always appear out of nowhere, he summons a huge and demonic version of Nue, Nue drops massive lightning bolts on Maki and Takaba. While Sukuna is not paying attention, Hana sneaks up behind him and attacks him with her cursed technique. Hana's cursed technique burns Sukuna and his skin begins to tear, then Hana activates her Jacob's Ladder attack on Sukuna. Sukuna is hit by a beam of light and screams in pain. Hana shouts to Sukuna to bring Megumi back because he belongs to her.

Suddenly Sukuna's tattoo on Megumi starts to fade and he starts to talk to Hana in a charming voice saying that everything is fine and he invites her for a hug pretending to be Megumi, Angel starts yelling at Hana not to listen to Sukuna but Hana ignores her and hugs Sukuna. Then it turns out that Sukuna planned this all along, he holds Hana tight and opens a big mouth, biting Hana's hand and calling her a stupid person. Yuji watches all this and is shocked, Yuji jumps off the ground and lands on a building next to Sukuna, Sukuna mockingly comments that Yuji is still alive. Yuji jumps off the building with so much force that the roof of the building is destroyed. Sukuna is shocked by Yuji's sudden increase in strength and they both grab each other by the neck and fall off the building.

Sukuna and Yuji land on the ground unharmed, Yuji kicks a huge rock towards Sukuna, Sukuna tries to stop the rock but Yuji grabs another one and pops up behind him smashing the rock on Sukuna's back. The attack had no effect on Sukuna. Then, Sukuna kicks Yuji in the face while commenting that Kenjaku is twisted, showing that he is aware of Yuji's parenting. Yuji yells at Sukuna, asking him why he and his allies can't just live a normal life without causing harm to others. Sukuna cuts Yuji's shoulder by using Dismantle, and he begins to speak, asking Yuji why such weak creatures cling to life so fiercely, comparing humans to insects and saying that creatures that fall apart at a touch can never be happy and that they should just swallow the suffering that life causes them. Yuji realizes from Sukuna's words that Sukuna and his allies are curses and always will be, he stands up and asks Sukuna if he can swallow his suffering, Sukuna tells Yuji to try, Sukuna begins to beat Yuji relentlessly with Cleave, but Yuji keeps moving despite Sukuna's attacks, Sukuna at first wonders how Yuji is so sturdy, but then realizes his cursed energy output is dropping because of Megumi, Yuji lands a punch on Sukuna and Sukuna curses Megumi.

Sukuna realizes that do to Megumi's influence on his cursed energy dropping he won't have access to 10 percent of his maximum power, and that he Megumi can't affect his control over his body meaning he will stay in control over his body and that the amount of power he currently has will be more than enough to comfortably kill Yuji. As he gets ready to fight Yuji again he notices Maki's presence and realizes that Nue's hapzard didn't do any damage to her and that she is not a small fry. Yuji and Maki attacks Sukuna at the same time but Sukuna handles both of them very efficiently, eventually Uraume interrupts the battle and uses an attack called frost calm on Yuji and Maki freezing them completely. Sukuna praises Uraume on his achievement, Sukuna summons Nue and heads with Uraume towards "the bath" however Yuji breaks from the ice and calls out Sukuna's name, Sukuna and Uraume makes fun from Yuji's face as he shouts out for them and they both fly away towards "the bath". Uraume finishes the bath and chats with Kenjaku about the process for making the bath as Sukuna sinks further in it to submerge Megumi's soul in "evil".Sukuna exits the bath and heads out to kill Yorozu and her vessel Tsumiki to completely bury Megumis soul. Before finding Yorozu Sukuna swiftly kills Ryu Ishigori before complementing his toughness. Sukuna finds Yorozu and engages in combat with her eventually defeating and managing to kill her and Tsumiki by extension, further crushing Megumis soul. Sometime after Sukuna blocks a strike from a newly freed Satoru Gojo meant for Kenjaku and the two agree to fight on December 24. On the day of the fight Gojo and Sukuna trade multiple blows and utilize their Domains causing damage to them both, Sukuna decides to summon Mahoraga causing Gojo's nose to bleed.After a few more domain clashes Sukuna gets hit by unlimited void and as Gojo prepares to hit him a few more times he summons Mahoraga's whole body, Mahoraga destroy unlimited void from the inside.
