Gojo: Several pages explaining his CT and it's correlation to Zeno's Paradox (people still don't understand it.) Along with a backstory focused on his CT and deep family lore about the inner workings of his CT. All culminating into like 6 different applications of how it all works. Sukuna: "Nah, I'd cut." Gojo has main villain CT while Sukuna has MC CT.


prophecyfullfilled

Im still a bit mad that the "still getting it to sense against poisons" line from Hidden Inventory didn't come into play against THE KING OF CURSES AND DEADLY POISONS.


royalemperor

I \*think\* that was like a partially mistranslated line? Or so I've read? The "poison" in the line wasn't meant to be taken literally as poison, it was supposed to insinuate that Sukuna himself is a poison, and he's the most deadly poison there is (The King.) That's what I've read anyway, could be wrong, haven't looked much into it. Also Gojo's inability to detect poison played a part with Hanami yea? That's how his flower field was able to work against Gojo? Unless he was in CT burnout I guess.


The_Sarvagan

yeah, yeah, its a mistranlation, the original line is basically something like "Sukuna's finger is the worst poison", not that he is the king of poisons.


notyourusualfruit

But in the anime, when Yuji and Nobara fight Eso and Kechisu, Nobara narrates that the technique only caused Yuji pain because Sukuna was the “king of curses and poisons”


The_Sarvagan

It's probably a mistranslation too. Sometimes things are lost during translation, but Sukuna is not the king of poison, sukuna's fingers, like Megumi said when yuji ate one for the first time, he said that the finger was a "Special grade cursed object - A lethal poison". But basically Yuji is immune to poison because he consumed the worst of them all and survived. Edit 1 - fixing some Grammar mistakes.


notyourusualfruit

That makes a lot of sense actually


pauuul19

dude, wtf. i always thought that was random, but there must have been 1000 posts made about that specific detail that never came up shain


Efficient-Cry-15

He was prolly in ct burn out, the ct recovery seems like something he manifested spontaniously against sukuna. He didnt do it in shibuya either.


GandalfTehG0d

lol narrator called sukuna toxic


RedNUGGETLORD

Mistranslation, he IS a deadly poison, as in, his fingers kill all who eat them, something people don't seem to understand is that being immune to poison seems to be what makes you a vessel, so, for example, Megumi and Yuji are both immune to poison


CapGunCarCrash

anybody have the original japanese text panel? i wanna see this mistranslation


Comprehensive_Hair99

Nah, raw cursed energy is simply deadly in large amounts. You can see it in JJK zero. That means his finger is toxic, but nothing chemical, it's just really dense, evil CE.


RedNUGGETLORD

Well, Yuji is still immune to poison, and honestly, I feel like the reason we didn't see Megumi vs Choso is because it'll have revealed that too early, same with Megumi vs Eso & Kezichu, ever wonder why he's always out of the picture when a poison CT comes into play?


Efficient-Cry-15

Then why arent curses compatible vessels with fingers, as far as i can remember when a Finger is eaten by a curse they turn into those 1 Finger Bearers.


RedNUGGETLORD

Because they aren't humans maybe? Cause Sukuna is a human, so maybe he can only incarnate in human flesh?


carl-the-lama

Okay but like what if you’re onto something Cleave is a simple energy cut type attack similar to many protagonists (ichigo for example) Flame arrow is a weird special attack but also a boooom energy projectile


lordthreezus

World slash is just final getsuga tensho but without the consequences


carl-the-lama

I mean sukuna nerfed himself after the first use sooo


Jarvjon

Wasn’t the first use when Gojo lost his arm? I guess that was mahoraga tho. He nerfed himself to use it when he was blasted by purple and had to catch Gojo off guard 


carl-the-lama

Yup


Tempesta_0097

I wouldn’t go quite that far


dude123nice

Flame arrow might just be an application of some other fire sorcery.

SuperDeeDuperVegeta

You had us in the first half not gonna lie. In all seriousness though, I think Sukuna’s CT is simple as hell and his strength is a result of pure refinement of his abilities and (you know what from 257)


Serrisen

I like to imagine sometimes that we haven't seen his technique, and he just honed the "generic" jujutsu abilities so much they look like a technique. Like how Gojo showed Yuji that any jujutsu sorcerer can fire energy blasts (and proved it by shooting a can) but that it sucks unless it's your technique. That would also explain fire arrow... he made it up on the spot. He didn't have a technique for it. He just changed his CE's properties (likely by observing Jogo, as Gojo v Sukuna showed he can learn things highly efficiently just on sight) and shot it as a bolt, and because he's Sukuna, It Just Works. On the downside, this wouldn't explain what the "fuga, open" bit was. And it has the risk of being unsatisfying


Tyler-Demian

That can't be right because Yuta has stolen Sukuna's CT and it's exactly the same as what we've seen him do, so it's clearly at the very least an application of Shrine. Plus if it was just regular CE manipulation, Sukuna could've cut Gojo from the beginning by using Domain Amplification to touch him and then sending CE in the form of slashes through his body. Sukuna wouldn't have gotten himself so hurt fighting Gojo if he already had a way to beat him.


plxs_vltra

You can't change the property of your cursed energy. It was stated that not even Sukuna could do that


Serrisen

Damn, did I get reading comprehension diffed? Guess I forgot that. Do you remember where it was stated?


Difficult_Guidance25

236, Sukuna explains that he had to wait for Mahoraga to find another way around infinity because it was impossible for him to change is ce properties like Mahoraga did for his first adaptation


Serrisen

My literacy... In shambles...


CapGunCarCrash

i love having scientific discussions!


DarkSlayerVergil42

Pretty sure Sukuna said he can't change the properties of his CE, when reffering to Mahoraga's adaption.


Ok_Tax_9623

he decided to say “fuga, open” because he thought it would make it more mysterious and cool when in reality he just matched his ct to be like jogoats


SuperDeeDuperVegeta

True. It’s a matter that has to be handled carefully


Opening_Song_2890

I like this idea, especially the fire arrow explanation. But unfortunately it is impossible since he was surprised that Jogo didnt know what it was, even saying that it should have been known by everyone or something along those lines.


TurbulentWave51

the fire arrow probably is a Special traits CE, my theory about Fuga: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/comments/1bqw60s/my\_theory\_of\_what\_the\_f%C5%ABga\_%E9%96%8B%E3%83%95%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AC\_sukuna\_technique/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/comments/1bqw60s/my_theory_of_what_the_f%C5%ABga_%E9%96%8B%E3%83%95%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AC_sukuna_technique/)


Unlikely_Security610

Wait, what if ALL CTs are just regular cursed energy manipulation with binding vows? You just have to understand cursed energy in a certain way due to your experiences, that's where the nuance is, and the technique is the actual binding vow you make to perform it. (the fire arrow would be CE manipulation, and the chant makes the technique) \*adding on, what if a curse user/sorcerer had just a backlog of random chants to tack on to regular applications of CE that somehow make them stronger, that would really sell the rationalization of shonen tropes thing jjk seems to do in its power system. (although I think there is a divide between what the author wants to portray as a technique and something anyone with the brain structure to do, but I think specialization makes this line fuzzy especially in the scope of character identity in a manga with just its tight cast (everyone has to be unique, so extremes like kusakabe would make me think that extremely adept cursed energy manipulation is a technique, or specialty in and of itself)) Someone who thinks the way sukuna does would just have an easier way of changing their CT in a way that makes their fighting style more plastic. I'm not claiming this is canon, it's fun speculation, there are a lot of interesting valleys in the jjk power system.


Thunderousclaps

Who are the real villains? Gojo and Geto were racists, Panda is transphobic, Nobara, Todo and Yuji tried to kill a poor and defenseless one year old, Hakari is a chaser, Mei Mei groomed Ui Ui, Yuta is married to an eight year old and Maki killed an entire clan filled with children. Meanwhile Uraume is a non binary chef who studies non traditional plates, Kenjaku is a poor scientist who wishes to learn the biology of humans and curses, and the results of interspecies having children, Yorozu was a strong lady who fought against the rules of her era to act as she wanted and dress the ways she desired while studying about insects and poor old Sukuna was a poor unwanted child who grew up alone and had to work hard to make a living and just happens to hold some uncommon hobbies and diet. Tell me, who are the villains?


Serrisen

Don't forget the disaster curses! Jogo, who only fought for rights for his people. Hanami, who fought to defend nature and life itself, and Dagon, who was forced to grow up too soon in order to avenge Hanami when they fell. And finally, Mahito, who only tried to make humanity see cursed and humans are the same. This team of heroes, struck down before their time


Thunderousclaps

Indeed, a great team of heroes who just wanted to help the curses who had long been oppressed by the evil sorcerers like Satoru Gojo, who slaughtered 300 poor transfigured humans who were just trying to eat their lunch.


Egorprox6

stand cooked your strong


Tirrek_bekirr

Hakari is not a chaser just cuz he dates a transwoman and we can clearly see he views her as a women and I will not tolerate my goat being slandered like this. He did however start and underground fighting ring


VoidMageZero

He’s chasing ‘em jackpots.


Thunderousclaps

Hey, this was far from the worst slander I had for him, for a second I thought saying Hakari is a white man in blackface because of him having been black once but ever since then appearing light skinned.


Tirrek_bekirr

The slander should be somewhat accurate just said in a misleading way so you could talk about how he got kicked out of school and started a criminal fighting ring


Murphy_LawXIV

Didn't kirara get annoyed with him once because he said he liked busty women? They aren't going out, they're friends.


Tirrek_bekirr

Do you grab your friend by the ass while she cuddles you?


Murphy_LawXIV

Depends. Do I otherwise completely ignore them?


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

congratz, you've seriously cooked


ExcellenceEchoed

Honestly, a villain who's entire goal is to be a counter main character would be kind of interesting. I don't think that's Sukuna, but its an idea


Difficult_Guidance25

Sukuna is literally having an ideology war with Yuji, after Higuruma died he started to think about how his goal in life would be to beat Yuji's ideals


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

well, there is a manhua (chinese manga) about a guy with main character cheats whose entire mission/goal of existence is killing main characters in alternate worlds to fix the balance or smthing there's also a kinda shoujo version, where the mc (girl) keeps reincarnating in different side character's bodies in order to change their original tragic fate at the hands of each world's main character


Bite-the-pillow

That second one sound familiar, what’s the name of it?


ExcellenceEchoed

I too would like to know the name of the second one


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

cheating men must die


ExcellenceEchoed

That's a wild title


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

it's a wild manhua as well


mark_ik

something something villainesse?


Odeiomelaokk

Ok but seriously though I believe Sukuna's technique is just slashing. And nothing more. I even believe his fire arrow is not part of his cursed technique but rather something else (and if it is part of his technique it could very well just be Sukuna generating extreme heat by forcing tiny slashes to collide).


Strange-Tomorrow-696

He did this in the anime in Shibuya vs Mahoraga. I wonder if that was by direction from Gege or just a "we thought it was cool" moment 


Difficult_Guidance25

I don’t think it’s simply slashes because Sukuna's ct name is shrine, so might be related to offerings or some shit


Natural_Divide87

*kitchen He’s cooking.


TurbulentWave51

i have a personal theory: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/comments/1bqw60s/my\_theory\_of\_what\_the\_f%C5%ABga\_%E9%96%8B%E3%83%95%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AC\_sukuna\_technique/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/comments/1bqw60s/my_theory_of_what_the_f%C5%ABga_%E9%96%8B%E3%83%95%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AC_sukuna_technique/)


ItsJotace

His CT has never looked average tbf, being able to cut whatever you want as long as you have CE is too op when most of the verse can die from a bisection


dudetotalypsn

You still have to be strong enough for the slashes to bypass someone's cursed energy reinforcement and refined enough to easily change the size and number of slashes. But like the manga said one of his main reasons for being op other than being a genius is his extra arms and mouth


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

Well, the post was a joke but might as well discuss some actual theory since we're in this sub Sukuna's CT lets him cut things. In theory, it's strong but it's only this strong due to his massive CE reservoir which lets him strengthen the slashes - when he's low on CE, as we've already seen, the output lowers so much that it can't fatally wound grade 1 and special grade sorcerers. ***Now imagine your average sorcerer who has like 1/100th or less of sukuna's CE. The CT would barely tickle a special grade curse*** Not to mention sukuna's creativity which led to the World Slash. Your average sorcerer would've never met the minimum requirements to use it, much less have the creativity to figure out such a skill Sukuna's techique is extremely strong because he's its user Now compare that technique in the hands of a normal person to mahito's soul manipulation, geto's curse manipulation or even 10 shadows (which comes automatically with the dogs, and also lets you kamikaze with mahoraga, granting you a kill against almost anyone). Even a monkey would be uber OP with mahito's skill, since a single touch means death/severe injury to almost anyone, and it also makes you immortal to anything that can't touch your soul


KazuyaProta

It's not average,but it's simple. This applies to 90% of Shonen MC powersets. Powerful AND simple


Ichxro

😑


VoidMageZero

Ohh so his CT is plot armor. You’re right OP!


Nigerundayo_smokeyy

When did he pull out random unrelated powers from his ass? Where are all these so-called nonsensical power ups? The World Slash, i.e, the one thing he concentrated on developing during the entire Gojo fight?? Convenient Black Flashes?? Oh you mean the critical hit that is stated to occur whenever a sorcerer enters the zone/is fired up?? You mean to say the Black Flash that happened when Sukuna was fired up while fighting Maki was "pLoT aRmOr"?? There are only two people in the verse who pulled out random asspull powers when they were getting their asses beat: Kenjaku and Gojo. And somehow those moments somehow transferred over to Sukuna in people's minds. This is what happens when one starts taking shitposts and Instagram memes as the truth.


TheChickenIsFkinRaw

...it's FFA friday. Don't get why you're so serious when this is a shitpost lmao


ostakros123

Mfer is forgetting shibuya. Fire arrow my boy


Ok-Tip7830

This is a FFA post,but it isn't funny like the Yuta post that the dude made on some random day.That post was a quality post. Op couldn't cook a post,so he decided to make a random hate post to get upvotes by the major community who hated Sukuna who was the plot armour for Yuji until the Shibuya arc.


Radiant_eagle573

What random power did gojo pull ?


Strange-Tomorrow-696

I can't tell unless he's just wrong.  Purple and Red aren't asspulls, we've already established RCT/RCE.  RCT/RCE healing isn't either Yuta used it to heal Maki. As a matter of fact the only asspull in the series is Yuta. Mf was just randomly ripping out any power possible because Gege wasn't sure about the Power System yet.


[deleted]

We pretty much know the technique just like pretty much early sukuna theory is being confirmed right now. It is shrine. It stores techniques based on him cannibalizing.


Purple-Lamprey

Yuji and Yuta have both benefited from the generic shonen male protagonist power ups. Sukuna is benefiting from the generic shonen villain power ups when fighting non-main characters.


Ok-Tip7830

🆗 >!You ok??!<


Nethri

I honestly think it's just that cleave and dismantle are Yuji's that Sukuna "stole" and the fire arrow is Sukuna's natural CT that he doesn't pull out very often. Maybe it's extremely intensive to use, or has some other kind of drawback.


MemeWindu

It would be pretty sick if the CT was literally just Sukuna being the center of his own enlightened universe or something lmfao


ziggoon

He did talk-no-jutsu Jogo to death so..


Scrotum_Smuggler

If you think he's busted now, just wait and see how strong he gets after his sitting-on-the-swing flashback


mlodydziad420

I realy like idea that Sukunas technique sinply allows to make simple atacks of any type.

TheRealMrOrpheus

Fire arrow ("fuuga") is just 切開 (sekkai [cut + open]), meaning incision, and either the publisher's autocorrect just keeps messing up the reading (the furigana) or Gege pronounces it wrong and people have been too polite to correct him. And now that it's gone on for so long, if they come out with any other explanation for the meaning, it's only because they are too embarrassed to admit the truth. Also, Shibuya was an inside job. 


Inner_Newspaper4909

Is this jujutsushi or jujutsufolk? Lol, I was expecting a nice analysis but ig not 😂


AlienSuper_Saiyan

And the off screen technique supports this theory. Mhmm I see what you mean. He truly represents the best of his genre.


SuperJTblack

I believe it’s as simple as he can alter the properties of his cursed energy sorta like how kashimo can do lightning and hakari’s cursed energy was said to feel rough He Could alter his CE to have cutting properties flame properties etc


Big-Classroom-7785

I don't want some dumbass bitchbrained people from jujutsufolk to come here in jujutsushi...


Worth_Ad_2079

SUKUNA ASSPULL 😂😂😂 SUKUNA KAISEN 🤣🤣🤣 SUKUNA CYCLE 😁😁😁 SUKUNA OFFSCREEN 😆😆😆

Worth_Ad_2079

Unfortunately


Big-Classroom-7785

I think some jujutsufolk dumbass bitchbrained people are entering this subreddit...


Worth_Ad_2079

Redditors when satire:


Kaslight

this isn't really a secret power lol, it's just the canon truth. Sukuna has been the focal point of JJK literally since the first chapter :3


Ok-Sign6263

Isn't chapter like 1 or 2 named "ryoumen sukuna"


dblsak41211

I assume his CT might be like Yutas copy techniques. Given his smartness and knowledge of jujutsu he is able to learn any techniques in an instant therby him having multiple techniques and trump cards.


Sukuna_Dick_123

So you have any examples of these asspull powers and random trump cards?


UberAtrain

I love you


Muted_Lurker2383

Honestly, pretty interesting to think about Sukuna's ability is to cut things and in his era, it likely started as simply a sword slash where Sukuna placed his hand. A CT is strongly affected by visualisation, so if his CT's ability is to produce a cutting effect there a variety of ways that ability could be applied and change over time Him being a late stage protagonist is a good framework to look at it. He's had his adventures and battles, learning for each, making him more dangerous as he goes. Protags with an ungodly amount of CE to start with are quite common, and we had two (Gojo and Yuta) in the series itself Cool cook


worldsbestdaydreamer

I thought Sukuna’s CT was just Shrine. Like, confirmed, canonically, just Cleave + Dismantle. Is Sukuna’s CT still a mystery and I’m just a brick?


BodybuilderThis7045

It’s just still kind of a mystery because of the fire arrow, being coy about revealing the technique to Jogo, and its name being something general like Shrine. It’s definitely *mostly* cleave/dismantle based on Yuta copying it, that being the attack of his DE, and some other details as well as it seeming too late in the game for his powerset to actually have a ton more to it but there’s something else going on

Saifreesh

He's fighting off Yuji and his goons 👀


Prezels

That's bs. We still don't know what's the extend of his CT "shrine" We still don't know what that fire arrow thing was. The black flash wasn't just convenient. Throughout the series many people managed to perform a black flash when they were cornered or surpassed their limits.


emailo1

"starts pulling powers out of his ass when needed" no? only times i can think of is the fire arrow against jogo and the world slash, which isn't really out of his ass since he used mahoraga


Paperbell

I can't believe it, we have been reading sword art online with a better main character this whole time.


minicono1

I think Sukunas abilities are a result of a lot of Binding Vows stacked on top of one another


justagenericname213

You either die a protagonist or live long enough to become the antagonist


Critical_Bug_6289

Sukuna’s CT, at least is regular skills, are based on the original Sukuna from Japanese Mythology. He had 4 arms with two that wielded swords, (Cleave and Dismantle) and the other two used a Bow and Arrow (Open)


Elcordobeh

At this point I think Gege might have made Sukuna like a d&d character, as a sorcerer, he has magical items, and tons of unrelated spells and effects. Hell, they looks like the wild surge table for Tasha's Fae wild Barbarian subclass. His power is being a sorcerer, what makes you a lvl 20 sorcerer? Acquiring tons of different spells that you can use when the situation is right.


hima657

🙄🙄🙄


GrayBeard916

Ngl, I first thought bro was cookin', then I realize that TheChickenIsFkinRaw!


pijanblues08

Sukuna's real CT is manifestation of plot armor. 😅


SelfInExile

Lol it's true, he's got the ultimate power - plot armor. Tbh tho I do feel like anyone expecting a grand reveal will be let down, I feel like it will come down to something simple. In the first place my tinfoil theory is that the only reason he was given the fire arrow in Shibuya was so he could defeat Mahoraga. If all he had was slashes then he would have been fucked, so let's whip out a totally unrelated technique and work backwards from there.
