Each character in Jujutsu Kaisen has their own unique powers and curses, and everyone is talking about Sukuna — the infamous two-faced curse. So far, we haven't seen all of what Sukuna can do, and fans are really curious about it. They're coming up with all sorts of ideas about why Sukuna is keeping his powers a secret and what it would mean for the story when we finally see them. These questions make Sukuna a really interesting part of the show because there's so much we still don't know about him.
There's a lot of buzz around why Sukuna, the powerful curse from Jujutsu Kaisen, won't spill the details about his curse technique (CT). On Reddit, fans have been throwing around ideas, and one theory that stands out is pretty straightforward: Sukuna doesn't want Yuji, the guy he's stuck inside, to get the hang of his cursed powers.
Let's dig into why Sukuna's secret moves are such a big deal and what they tell us about who he is.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Why Sukuna keeps his cursed technique secret?
With every battle, Sukuna demonstrates his prowess – raw physical strength, enhanced regeneration, and dexterity. But his curse technique remains enshrouded in mystery. Some might argue that disclosing his abilities could enhance his effectiveness and provide a greater advantage during combat, so why does he hesitate?
One plausible explanation may be the strategic mind game at play. By withholding his curse technique, Sukuna keeps his enemies guessing, unable to anticipate his next move or prepare a counter-strategy effectively. It might also be a precautionary measure to prevent Yuji, his host, from gaining access to his powers, as Yuji’s control over such potent techniques could tilt the power balance.
It's not that Sukuna is scared of Yuji. It's more like he can't stand the thought of someone he looks down on, especially Yuji with his do-gooder ways, using his own powers against him. What stings even more for Sukuna is that Yuji is kind of a natural when it comes to cursed energy – after all, he's been soaking in Sukuna's evil vibes for a while now.
This means Yuji might pick up Sukuna's Cursed Technique in no time if he figured out how it works. So keeping his cursed technique a secret is Sukuna's way of holding onto the upper hand. And let's be real, Sukuna loves to win – he's all about that power play.
The idea that Sukuna would hate to see Yuji, his reluctant roommate, turn his own cursed techniques against him adds a fun twist to their already complicated relationship. It's like being stuck in a game where the other player shouldn't know your best moves, because if they do, you might just lose the upper hand. And for someone as prideful and powerful as Sukuna, that's not an option.
Comparison: A case of intersecting abilities
There are instances in Jujutsu Kaisen where the host can access the possessing entity's abilities. The character Hana is one such case, where she could utilize Angel's technique while retaining control of her body. As such, it's conceivable that Yuji could potentially access Sukuna's technique if revealed.
However, we also observe that not all possessions are alike. For instance, in Yujis' case, where he shares his body with other souls (the Death Paintings), he appears to use their techniques, but Sukuna's remains elusive. Could this be because the Death Paintings are willingly cooperating and Sukuna isn't?
What’s next: When Sukuna shows his true powers
Given these observations, it becomes apparent that the underlying adversarial relationship between Yuji and Sukuna might be the crux of why Sukuna’s curse technique remains unrevealed. This relationship not only adds depth to their interactions but also creates tension and suspense as events unfold within the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
However, the intriguing question still stands: will Sukuna ever reveal his curse technique? And how will that impact the narrative, the characters, and the balance of power? There's much to anticipate. Whatever the outcome, one thing is clear: Sukuna's strategic withholding maintains a captivating air of intrigue around his character that leaves fans curious for more.
