Ryomen Sukuna: The King of Curses
The fearsome Ryomen Sukuna, the villain of Jujutsu Kaisen, is not just a fictional creation. He was inspired by a figure from Japanese folklore, described in ancient texts as a two-faced, four-armed warrior with superhuman strength.
In the legend, Sukuna is portrayed in different ways. In some versions, he was a fearsome demon who ravaged lands and spread chaos. In others, he was seen as a protective hero, revered as a guardian in certain regions of Japan. This duality is reflected in the anime, where Sukuna displays both his cruelty and a strange sense of honor.
In adapting this legend, Gege Akutami brought a historical touch to the work, transforming Sukuna into the dangerous King of Curses. With his imposing presence and overwhelming power, he became one of the most striking antagonists in the world of anime.
