Sukuna

Tokyo Metropolitan Technical School of Magic is an educational and administrative institution that is one of two educational institutions for magicians in Japan.

The school in Tokyo, like the school in Kyoto, operates under the guise of a private religious school, while in reality it trains new generations of magicians by already established high-ranking magician masters.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Technical School of Magic is a large complex of buildings in the traditional Japanese architectural style. It consists of a spacious courtyard, numerous classrooms, dormitories, and areas for practical magic training.

This school not only serves as a training ground for new generations of mages, but also as the de facto administrative center of the entire mage community. Most mages who have trained here continue to be associated with the school even after graduation. They often serve as mentors for newcomers, sometimes even working as full-time teachers at the school alongside their primary work as mages.

The "top" of the school, together with the "top" of the society of magicians, set the rules that all magicians are obliged to follow, but in fact only recognized professionals and students follow them.

The school education lasts four years.

Students are taught all the concepts and forms of sorcery. This includes knowledge of the essence of Cursed Energy, as well as the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to create and master their own Cursed Technique. Students are also taught a ranking system based on the characteristics of Cursed Energy, which applies to both mages and curses.

As practice, students are sent on missions suited to their abilities to hone their skills under the supervision of teachers or assistants. The teacher assigned to monitor the students' progress and adjust their training program must supervise the students on missions, if physically possible.

The men's school uniform consists of a black jacket with an asymmetrical brim, long sleeves, a high collar, and two buttons on the left side engraved with the school crest; trousers of the same color. Shoes vary.

The standard women's uniform: the same black asymmetrical jacket with a high, but narrower collar, dark tights, and a belted skirt. The cut of the skirt varies, as does the jacket—it all depends on preference. For example, Mai generally prefers loose pants to skirts.

Cursed spirits are a race of spiritual beings in the Mage Battle universe, born from the accumulated cursed energy that drains from ordinary people over time due to their negative emotions. Cursed spirits are physically unable to do anything other than harm humanity, making them a prime target for mages.

Cursed spirits are born from emotions such as bitterness, fear, hatred, laziness, and shame. The cursed energy released along with these emotions begins to accumulate and give birth to spirits. Shamans are trained to prevent the cursed energy from leaving their bodies. However, if they are killed without the use of PE, the unused cursed energy immediately leaves their bodies, reborn as cursed spirits. Cursed spirits are divided into:
Imaginary vengeful spirits (created from fear of natural disasters, urban legends, myths, etc.; they can also include any spirit of a special rank, the classification of which could not be determined).
Vengeful damned (former shamans).
A vengeful super-cursed spirit (a transformation of an ordinary person into a cursed spirit due to the influence of a shaman. Example: Rika Orimoto).
Nature spirits, disease spirits, and so on.

Because the bodies of cursed spirits are composed of Cursed Energy, normal humans cannot see them. Non-mages can only see Cursed Spirits under certain conditions—in specific places shrouded in cursed energy or on the threshold of death. The ability to see spirits also depends on a person's brain. Cursed spirits can only be damaged by cursed energy or spiritual damage. Cursed spirits have the ability to restore themselves through the manipulation of cursed energy, something humans cannot do without the use of a reverse cursed technique. Incidentally, the OPT instantly banishes any cursed spirit, regardless of its rank. This is how Yuta Okkotsu banished Kurorushi. Cursed spirits usually reside in their birthplace, and their intelligence level varies greatly: strong PDs are intelligent enough to maintain a normal conversation. Cursed spirits can attach themselves to humans, allowing them to attack and torment people far from their birthplace.

Before becoming a mage, Yuji lived an ordinary life in Sendai until he met the mage Megumi Fushiguro. During an incident at school, Yuji's friends in the Occult Club unsealed the Rotten Finger, a cursed artifact that attracted curses to the school. To protect Megumi and his friends, Yuji swallowed Sukuna's finger, a powerful curse known as "Two-Faced Sukuna" or "The King of Curses." He thus became the vessel for this entity.

Due to Sukuna's evil nature, all shamans are required to exorcise him immediately upon encountering him, but Yuji is still able to control his body. Satoru Gojo, Megumi's teacher, decides to transfer Yuji to the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic School and proposes a plan: collect all of Sukuna's fingers, feed them to Yuji, and then kill him to break the curse forever.

By order of the college administration, Yuji must find and absorb Sukuna's remaining 19 fingers, after which the magicians will be able to finally destroy the "King of Curses."

Sukuna doesn't see Yuji as a threat or an equal, but rather as a temporary inconvenience to be exploited for his own ends. Yuji understands that he harbors great evil within himself and is reluctant to cooperate with Sukuna unless the situation is dire. Sukuna relishes his position and manipulates Yuji, trying to test the limits of his strength and character.

Sukuna currently resembles the Itadori he currently inhabits, only with slicked-back hair, long, dark blue, pointed nails, and distinctive black tattoos on his forehead, nose, cheeks, and body. He has lines under his eyes and a pair of eyes above them, which always appear slightly open in the anime. Sukuna also has two lines on his wrists and forearms, circles with dots on his shoulders, two nipples on his chest, and two lines on his stomach when he switches places with Yuji. Sukuna has red eyes with black pupils and spiky, short, light pink hair cut in a buzz cut. Sukuna is over 1,000 years old.

In his inner world, Sukuna wears a light-colored kimono with a dark line along the edge and a black scarf around his neck. Occasionally, his mouth and eye may appear on Yuji's palm or cheek, under one of his eyes.

Sukuna is selfish, heartless, amoral, and an exceptional sadist. He is the embodiment of an overwhelming ego, a self-centered disaster. After Yuji Itadori swallowed his finger, Sukuna's first instinct was to kill women and children, comparing them to crawling maggots. Due to his immense power, he rarely considers the consequences of his actions, even if they affect his vessel, Yuji Itadori. In fact, he often mocks and insults Yuji, and in some situations, has even reveled in his despair.

He also appears to have a dislike for the dead, curses, and mages, and his current goal is not motivated by anything other than the usual pleasure of reveling in his own power.

Sukuna greatly values ​​talented mages and, in battle, gives them everything possible to maximize their potential. It takes great luck and strength to keep Sukuna's interest alive and prevent him from killing his opponent.

Extra body parts in his true form. He has four arms and two mouths. The extra arms free up two for complex gestures, and the second mouth allows him to continuously cast spells without straining his heart and lungs.

Endurance. Sukuna is capable of continuing to fight even with serious injuries—for example, he fought after losing an arm or even an organ.

Enormous reserves of cursed energy. Their power surpasses even the reserves of mages like Yuta Okkotsu or Satoru Gojo. This allows Sukuna to sustain powerful techniques for long periods without noticeable exhaustion.

Superhuman physical attributes. He demonstrates incredible strength (he punched through buildings), speed (his opponents didn't have time to react), and reflexes.

Sukuna's signature technique is "Shrine." It combines several different types of attacks:

Dismantle. A basic slashing attack that Sukuna launches with a hand gesture. The strength of the strike depends on the cursed energy he injects—with it, he easily sliced ​​through skyscrapers, curses, and mages.

Split. An attack that adjusts its power to the target's cursed energy level and endurance to defeat them in a single blow. Sukuna can enhance it into "Web" by placing her hand on the ground and linking it to the surrounding area.

Divine Flame. A long-range fire attack: Sukuna manipulates flames and launches them at his opponent. This is one of his most devastating techniques, but it has a catch: to enhance it, he casts a "binding bow" on himself, making it ineffective against multiple targets at once unless they are within his domain. To activate it, he casts "Fugue" ("Open").

Territory expansion — "Demon Tomb." Unlike many mages, Sukuna doesn't create a separate barrier bubble. He literally "draws" a tomb directly into the real world, forming a guaranteed damage zone with a 200-meter radius. Within this zone, he can simultaneously use both slashing attacks (Dismantle and Split), choosing which one is best for which target.

Yuji is a young man of average height, with a toned and muscular build. He also has relatively large light brown eyes and short, spiky, pink hair cut in a buzz cut. When he becomes Sukuna's vessel afterward, he gains a second pair of eyes, which only open when Sukuna controls his body, as well as numerous markings. He is 173 centimeters tall and weighs 80 kilograms. Yuji is 15 years old.

When Yuji entered the Tokyo Magician's Academy, he began wearing their version of the school uniform: a black long-sleeved shirt reminiscent of Gakuran over a red hoodie, black pants, and red shoes.

Yuji is a just man who genuinely cares not only for his comrades but for anyone he considers a free-willed individual, regardless of how deep or shallow his connection to them may be. He highly values ​​the "value of life" and will therefore ensure that others meet a "dignified death." Because of this, he believes it is morally unethical to take another person's life and tries to avoid any opportunity to do so except as a last resort. He is also not without his more energetic and outgoing traits. For example, he often finds himself in comical situations, such as when he can be seen enthusiastically talking about Tokyo with Nobara, enthusiastically training with Satoru Gojou, or even entertaining Junpei Yoshino and his mother. Yuji is also very passionate when focused on achieving specific goals, and quite stubborn when challenged, such as when Masamichi Yaga asked why Yuji wanted to become a sorcerer. He is also quite naive due to his lack of experience in the world of cursed spirits and jujutsu sorcerers, but he is a quick learner, able to adapt to his surroundings, and quickly grasps how to harness cursed energy.

For magicians
The scale goes from lowest to highest:
Fourth rank. Typically attained by newcomers or those just starting out. Example: Maki Zenin (though it's important to note: her rank is partly a result of family bias, not just strength).

Third rank. The middle level, one of the most common among mages, especially apprentices.

Second rank. Intermediate level. Less common, example: Panda.

Second rank. Above average level. Mages of this rank can already undertake missions alone.

Semi-first rank. Shamans who have outgrown the second level but have not yet received an official recommendation to advance to the first.

First rank. The elite among mages. These shamans are capable of conducting complex operations independently and often act as mentors.

A special first rank. Awarded to mages who are powerful but outside the standard ranking system (for example, some members of the Zenin clan).

A special rank. An anomaly. Only special shamans with unique, practically immeasurable abilities, or especially powerful curses, attain it. Examples: Satoru Gojo, Yuta Okkotsu.
