Summary
From the very first episode ofJujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna was built up as the big bad of the franchise and the strongest sorcerer in history. After taking over Yuji’s body, he would fight against Megumi a few times, displaying a strange interest in the young sorcerer that would initially confuse many fans of the series, especially right before his fight with Mahoraga, where he saved Megumi from dying. Eventually, Sukuna’s interest in Megumi was made clear in Chapter 212 of the manga.
Following this chapter, Sukuna eventually grows to control Megumi’s body completely. In doing so, he becomes far stronger than fans had seen him before,using his immense Cursed Energyand depth of knowledge to make the Ten Shadows Technique far more dangerous than it was with Megumi. After his fight with Gojo, Sukuna reverted to his true form, so let’s see which version of the King of Curses is the stronger one inJujutsu Kaisen.

After taking over Megumi’s body, Sukuna was more powerful than he had ever been before. However, to gain full control over the body to prevent Megumi’s soul from fighting back against him as Yuji would, Sukuna needed to break his spirit completely, which he did by turning on his friends and killing his sister.
This version of Sukuna could utilize all of his Cursed Energy, which is incredible due to Sukuna having one of the highest in the whole series. Due to his mastery and knowledge of Jujutsu, Sukuna usedthe Ten Shadows technique to its fullest potential, forming the same Shikigami as Megumi, but making them far larger and more powerful. He could also use them very differently in combat.
Notable Feats
The most impressive feat of this form is also arguably the most impressive feat in all ofJujutsu Kaisen. It was in this form that Sukuna was able to defeat Satoru Gojo in one of the most legendary fights ever put on manga panels, as they both fought with everything they had. Gojo used his Limitless Cursed Technique to the max and Sukuna perfected his usage of the Ten Shadows along withhis own Dismantle and Cleave technique, only barely defeating Gojo by using Mahoraga to bypass Infinity.
This alone puts this version of Sukuna as the strongest character in the series, but even before his battle with Gojo, Sukuna used this form to kill Yurozu,an extremely powerful Ancient Curse Userfrom the Heian Era. Even a much weaker version of him defeated Yuji and Maki just as he took over Megumi’s body, proving that even when suppressed, no one other than Gojo could really harm him.
Remember when I said we’d see something interesting, boy?

Sukuna’s original form is the one that spread fear to every corner of Japan when he was active in the Heian Era. Starting as a Jujutsu sorcerer, Sukuna would rebel against the world and begin to eat people, eventually transforming himself into a curse that was so powerful that no one else in the entire world could hope to match him. When he becamea Special Grade Curse, he sprouted a terrifying new form.
This form made him far taller and much more physically imposing. In this state, he had four arms, various markings all across his body, four eyes, and a huge new mouth across his stomach. While grotesque, this was the perfect form for Jujutsu, as the extra set of arms allows him to make hand signs while fighting, and the extra mouth also helps him to chant incantations that reinforce his attacks without causing damage to his lungs.
Despite easily defeating all the opponents he faced after his battle with Gojo, the Limitless sorcerer quite clearly stated that the King of Curses was not going all out in their fight. When he finally transformed into this powerful state, he fought and defeated Kashimo, Higuruma, Yuji, Yuta, Rika, and Maki, claiming that none of them gave himthe same level of challenge that Gojo did.
After his transformation, it seemed as if his repertoire was reduced as well, as he hasn’t used the Ten Shadows Technique since his fight with Gojo. This form really shows that Sukuna’s true strength is far greater than everyone else’s because, after battling the strongest sorcerer of today,Sukuna still hasn’t been on the back footeven once.
Analyzing Sukuna’s true form with X-rays, Kashimo came to a single conclusion; Utterly Immaculate.
Jujutsu Kaisencan be streamed onAmazon Prime.
