in the world of Jujutsu KaisenHe is known by many names: the fallen, the dishonored and the most well-known title of all: the king of curses… Ryomen Sukuna!
But wait, what if I told you that he is not evil? And actually a GOOD BOY?!
Some of you may find it hard to believe, but let me tell you, this two-faced, four-armed GIGA guy is… Yes, he’s a good guy! And I’ll show you WHY! I’m going to prove it!
WATCH THE FULL VIDEO HERE!!!
RYOMEN SUKUNA IS NOT A VILLAIN?!
Nihon Shoki is a farce!
According to the Nihon Shokia Japanese history and mythology book, Sukuna was labeled as a rebel. because?
Number 1: In some stories, he refused to kneel before the imperial court (which was led by the Yamato clan at the time) and, according to MOST sources, defied his “order”.
Number 2: They portrayed him as a murderer who killed THOUSANDS of people!
That’s why Emperor Nintoku sent the shogun, Takefurukuma no Mikototo defeat him.
You know what… this version of the story is a bit SUS because if Sukuna really is this”bloodthirsty monster”, Why do the people of the Hida region love and adore him?
Also…what exactly is this?order”from the imperial court that Sukuna challenged?
To understand this, let’s first learn who Sukuna was in the eyes of his people…
He ruled in Hida Regionand in that place, he was NOT a demon who ruled his lands with tyranny. Instead, he was known as a benevolent ruler and a wise guardian.
It was mentioned that he introduced Buddhism to Hida, built temples, killed demons, and even DRAGONS!
Furthermore, they even refer to it as GOD INCARNATE!
Demon and dragon slayer
is a being with two faces in a body; each head looks in the opposite direction
Sukuna has extra limbs, exerts two swordsand takes two arches and arrows.
this boy is dangerous like my mom… with her favorite weapon… SNEAKERS!
In it hiyomo versionSukuna still has extra limbs, but he was wearing armor, carrying a staff, and wielding two axes. I know, very useful!
With its malformed shape, it could doesn’t sound attractivebut what I love about this Sukuna is that it is kind-hearted and OP.
According to legends in takayama citySukuna stands at an imposing height of eighteen meters! That’s like… 8 Shaquille O’Neals stacked together!
It is also said that he was a Kannon incarnationthe Bodhisattva of compassion.
One of my favorite stories about Ryomen Sukuna That’s when the emperor ordered him to defeat the demon.”shichina” from Mount Kurai.
The legend also mentions a sacred treasure known as the “Shichina hair.”
while in Shimono-Ho in Seki City, Sukuna killed a poisonous dragon!
Nabe (stew)
After receiving the subjugation orderwhat happened next?
Sukuna knew that Mikoto would come to master him…
To save the town from the coming war, Sukuna decided to leave.
If this guy was really born evil, why would he care about the safety of people?
TBH, I’m starting to like this guy.
he was also received by the villagersbut Sukuna was worried about causing them trouble. That is why he chose to use a stone that had fallen from the roof of a house as DIY pot lid to prepare your meals!
In his honor, the festivalNihon-ichi Sukuna Nabe” takes place in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture.
During this festival, residents gather to cook a huge stew in the huge Sukuna pot, using 5,000 liters of water, 300 kilograms of pork and around 10 types of local vegetables.
This stew can feed 2,500 people, and each person receives 200 ml of broth.
Unfortunately, the festival stopped taking place in 2008 due to the old age of the pot; It is no longer in use today.
If that makes you hungry, let’s whet your appetite even more by watching this kitchen sleeve.
Mount Dainichi
According to the legends in Gero City when Sukuna went to Dewaghira Up to a small mountain in Kanayama, Sukuna prayed for 37 days…praying for the safety of the nation and a bountiful harvest!
So… what kind of demon will he pray for? 37 days?! Think about it!
Sukuna along with his men was ambushed by his enemy led by general mikoto on Mount Dainichi.
The Sukuna team fought for a while but they were in a disadvantageHis forces withdrew and disappeared into the mountains.
It was also mentioned that when the imperial army arrived in Nakatsubaruthey saw a white dove flying north.
In many cultures, a white dove can symbolize peace and hope. But thanks to that damn bird, Mikoto headed straight north and continued hunting Sukuna!
Sukuna vs. Mikoto
General Mikoto and his army finally arrived Mount Norikuraand with one look, he knew that Sukuna was there.
When Mikoto discovered the Sukuna Fortress, a double-sided cave and natural fortress, the imperial army scaled the rocky mountain, leading a fearsome battle.
During that battle, Sukuna was PIOUS! It was said that he had the strength to fifty menAnd he demonstrated it by throwing stones and large trees at his enemies!
Unfortunately, Sukuna’s small force gradually grew tired.
And with that, ladies and gentlemen! At the entrance of the cave a dramatic confrontation had begun! In the left corner we have the beastthe OG, with four arms Ryomen Sukuna!!!! In the right corner, the warrior with the same name VERY NGOGeneral Takefurukuma no Mikoto!!!!
In the end, our boy Sukuna was subdued, tied up and captured.
Mikoto was really impressed by Sukuna’s attitude. superhuman abilities; that’s why he encouraged Sukuna to surrender and continue peacefully.
sukuna remains challengingand Mikoto had no choice but to finally defeat him.
TBH, with all the references I’ve found, I’m starting to think… Did Mikoto really defeat or kill Sukuna??
Or is this just another “edited” version of the story? If you know what I mean…
In the anime/manga, Who do you think will defeat Sukuna??
Not a single entity
What if I told you… Sukuna is NOT a single being.
During the reign of Emperor NintokuThere was a powerful clan in the Hida region known as Ryomen Sukuna. Yes, not a single entity but a family!
This rough clan was also mentioned in the Nihon Shokiand history tells that they DELICATE a dragon! But this wasn’t just any fire-breathing lizard: it was a DRAGON GOD!
Right in the same place where dragon god Once residing, Ryomen Sukuna built a sanctuary.
If this clan is cool and powerfulthen it all makes sense…
Which means that the depiction of Sukuna as an evil demon who terrorized people is propaganda for him Yamato imperial family. They did this to take over the Sukuna clan’s territory.
This unfavorable description could even have given rise to the nickname ‘Ryomen,’ which means “two-faced” or should I say… “bilateral”because there are two sides to the story:
One represents a heartless demon. The other side represents a powerful, kind-hearted be or a family who was a victim to greed and power.
Conclusion
If the real-life Ryomen Sukuna was really defeated by Takefurukuma no Mikoto… Is it possible for Mikoto to be reincarnated as Yuji Itadori??!
