More than ten centuries ago, the infamous Curse King Sukuna made a deal with Kenjaku to participate in the deadly Extermination Game ritual, allowing Sukuna’s spirit to live on after death.
As part of their deal, Kenjaku split Sukuna’s soul into his 20 fingers, transforming them into extremely dangerous cursed objects imbued with terrible dark energy.
These fingers are scattered throughout Japan and are often placed in cursed locations, as their presence can strengthen protective barriers.
In modern times, Sukuna’s six fingers eventually came into the possession of Tokyo Jujutsu Technical High School. Due to the extreme danger they pose, these fingers are classified as special level curses and are sealed, unable to be destroyed. Meanwhile, Uraume, a devoted follower of Sukuna since ancient times, gathered four more fingers.
As the fateful confrontation with Gojo approaches, Sukuna is revived in Megumi’s body having consumed these four fingers to regain her full power. Sukuna deduces Gojo may have hidden the last finger, hindering Yuji’s execution order.
Watch Orimoto use Sukuna’s final finger
The 20 separated fingers of the dreaded Witch Sukuna were formed into special level cursed objects after his original death over 1000 years ago.
These dangerous items contain fragments of Sukuna’s soul, allowing him to eventually be reincarnated in modern times through Yuji Itadori when several fingers are consumed.
In the present day, Sukuna’s devout follower from his previous life, Uraume, has collected his four severed fingers. As the impending confrontation with Gojo draws near, the revived Sukuna inhabits the body of Megumi who ate these four fingers, restoring his strength.
With only one finger missing, Sukuna guessed that Gojo had hidden the last finger, delaying Yuji’s death sentence.
It was later discovered that this last missing finger was actually swallowed by Rika Orimoto, allowing Yuta Okkotsu to copy Sukuna’s “Shrine” technique into his own arsenal.
Using this regeneration skill, Yuta was able to activate the “Cleave” ability on Sukuna himself, slashing the ancient curse across the face as their blades touched.
The role of Sukuna’s fingers and deadly confrontations
Sukuna’s 20 severed fingers are mummified cursed objects, each containing a piece of his soul and immense power, even after a millennium. The equivalent of special level curses, these indestructible fingers emit dangerous energy.
Although sealed, they remain an extreme threat, continuing to accumulate power and attract other curses over time.
The presence and detectability of each finger varies – some give off a terrifying aura, some are hidden, and some have been consumed by curses, making them difficult to accurately identify.
If one manages to re-accumulate power, the vessel containing Sukuna’s incarnation can sense the position of the fingers.
However, not everyone can eat fingers because eating them is deadly poisonous. Additionally, the cursed souls cannot contain enough of Sukuna’s soul. So ideal vessels are rare – although Sukuna can choose his host.
According to Gojo, Yuji’s strange ability is not to be completely possessed but to act as a “cage”, appearing only once every millennium.
The formation and threat of those who bear Sukuna’s fingers
While Yuji can eventually safely consume all 20 fingers without taking full possession, eating multiple fingers simultaneously risks taking over Sukuna temporarily before adaptation progresses. happen.
For example, if Yuji swallowed 10 fingers at once, his body would not be able to adapt and accommodate Sukuna.
Additionally, when Yuji first revived Sukuna by eating one finger, it awakened the other fingers that had been eaten by the cursed spirit. These creatures evolved into “Finger Bearers” – pale-skinned humanoid curses with 4 eyes, Sukuna’s fingers thrust into the chest cavity, wearing loincloths.
When they appear, they instinctively distort the environment around their origin with an incomplete Domain without using curse techniques.
These Sukuna cursed souls have formidable fighting skills and enjoy toying with victims like Sukuna.
Although extremely powerful, Finger Bearers are limited to their birthplace, attacking anyone who trespasses on their territory.
The cursed souls that evolve into Finger Bearers after eating one of Sukuna’s severed fingers have dangerous power. They were immediately classified as special when they first appeared.
Thus far, these curses have demonstrated extraordinary fighting abilities, along with a cruel nature much like Sukuna himself. The finger bearers toyed with and brutally tormented their victims.
Despite their formidable power, these Sukuna-linked curses exhibit some common curse properties, still tied to their location of origin. They will attack any creature that encroaches on their immediate territory.
