Jujutsu Kaisen: In the final arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna, the King of Curses, demonstrated the full extent of his powers. His battles, particularly against Gojo, showcased the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcery. Even though Sukuna ultimately lost, his performance solidified his status as one of the most formidable characters in the series.
The Legendary Status of Sukuna
Sukuna’s reputation as an unbeatable sorcerer from the Heian era persisted into modern times. His strength was so legendary that even contemporary sorcerers like Gojo acknowledged his power. The epic battle between Sukuna and Gojo in Shinjuku proved that they were indeed on par with each other, with Sukuna eventually gaining the upper hand due to his access to both his own cursed technique and the 10 Shadows Technique.
The Airwalk Technique
One of Sukuna’s most impressive abilities was the Airwalk Technique. This power allowed him to move through the air with incredible speed and agility. In the extras of Volume 27, author Gege Akutami explained how this technique works:
1. Sorcerers “grasp the surface of the air” using cursed energy.
2. Sukuna enhances this by releasing small explosions of cursed energy, allowing him to move faster than others who use this technique.
3. This ability is limited by the availability and fluidity of air surfaces.
Sukuna’s Mastery of Cursed Energy
Sukuna’s use of the Airwalk Technique demonstrates his exceptional control over cursed energy. His ability to fight effectively in mid-air showcases why he earned the title “King of Curses.” This technique, along with his other abilities, made him nearly unbeatable in battles against multiple powerful sorcerers in Shinjuku.
The Impact of Sukuna on the Jujutsu Kaisen Universe
Sukuna’s performance in the final arc of Jujutsu Kaisen will likely be remembered as one of the most impressive displays of power in the series. His battles, especially against Gojo and other top-tier sorcerers, set a new standard for what’s possible in the world of Jujutsu sorcery.
Conclusion
With the series now concluded, fans eagerly await more information about Sukuna from the author. The upcoming release of Volume 28 may provide additional insights into the King of Curses, especially given his central role in the final arc and his conflict with Yuji Itadori.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s final chapter was released on September 29, 2024, marking the end of this epic series. However, the legacy of characters like Sukuna ensures that discussions and analyses of the series will continue long after its conclusion.
