Information about Sukuna:

Ryomen Sukuna (APleasePleaseYoYoYoGoodHe, Ryōmen Sukuna?), more often known as simply Sukuna (YoYoGoodHe, Sukuna?), is the strongest jujutsu sorcerer from over a thousand years ago. Regarded as the undisputed King of Curses (SheYoYo王Yes, Noroi no Ō?), Sukuna is one of the main antagonists of the Jujutsu Kaisen series. According to legend, Sukuna was an imaginary demon (To meYoAsiYaYoWho? Yo神Yo, Kasō no Kijin? ) during the Heian Era. In truth, he was a human sorcerer also known as the Disgraced One (堕ElYomas, Daten? ). [2] The Jujutsu sorcerers of the Golden Age of Jujutsu gave everything they had against him, but eventually fell one after another. Sukuna existed throughout the ages by transforming into a cursed object after death, a state in which he split his power into twenty indestructible fingers. [1] Sukuna was incarnated in June 2018 when Yuji Itadori consumed one of his fingers. [3] Sukuna was trapped inside Yuji's body and rarely had control until he managed to transfer his soul into Megumi Fushiguro's body.

Appearance of Sukuna:

Sukuna was incarnated in June 2018 when Yuji Itadori consumed one of his fingers. [3] Sukuna was trapped inside Yuji's body and rarely had control until he managed to transfer his soul into Megumi Fushiguro's body. [4] Appearance Sukuna is a tall, muscular man with four arms, four eyes, and a large mouth on his stomach. He has short reddish-pink hair and red eyes, with his two right eyes angled at a different angle and located on a white plate-like structure on the right side of his face. His body is also covered in tattoos, which manifest on his vessel whenever he is in control and are naturally present in his true form. The tattoos are mostly black lines on his wrists, upper arms, upper body, abdomen, and face. He also has black dots tattooed on each of his shoulders. When these tattoos manifest on a two-armed vessel, the lines surrounding his upper arms and wrists are duplicated, and circles form around the black dots on his shoulders. Sukuna's monstrous appearance led many to describe him as a demon with four arms and two faces. [1] In the past and present, Sukuna only wears a pair of pants, as his unique body prevents him from wearing upper body clothing. Previously, Sukuna took on the appearance of his former host: Yuji Itadori, but with his spiky pink hair pushed forward slightly and his tattoos manifested. His incarnation also caused Yuji to have a second pair of eyes beneath his normal eyes, which were usually closed but opened when he took control. Within his Innate Domain, Sukuna wore a light-colored kimono with a black border, a black scarf, and black sandals.

Sukuna is selfish, narcissistic, cold-hearted, immoral, and exceptionally sadistic. When he was reincarnated shortly after Yuji ingested his finger, he commented, hinting at the slaughter of women and children and comparing them to worms crawling around. Due to his immense power, he rarely cares about the consequences of his actions, even if they affect his host. In fact, he frequently mocks and insults Yuji, calling him a brat and even laughing at or taking pleasure in Yuji's despair on multiple occasions. By his own admission, Sukuna has no dreams, goals, or aspirations to work towards, while the jujutsu sorcerers fighting him do and become stronger because of it. Sukuna is a great glutton, not only for food, but also for fighting and bloodshed. Because of this, he tends to prolong his fights with strong opponents, even if it would be wise to end his fights quickly.

Sukuna's Strength:

In his first appearance, Sukuna was shown to possess immense physical strength despite being in an incomplete state. He could easily defeat a very large Cursed Spirit with just a simple punch, [33] and during his fight against Gojo he was able to punch the school's roof with such force that it caused the building to shatter and crack. [34] He easily overpowered the likes of a Finger Carrier, a special grade curse. When he bet Yuji's life against Megumi, Sukuna managed to throw the sorcerer through several floors of the building effortlessly and easily overpowered and destroyed Megumi's shikigami. [35] He even punched Megumi so hard that the raindrops in that area scattered. With sixteen of his fingers, Sukuna punched Jogo through buildings and even destroyed the latter's jaw. [36] His punches also had a considerable effect on Mahoraga. By taking control of Megumi's body, he was able to easily pierce Yuji's stomach and send him flying across the city with a single punch, temporarily stunning him. [37]

Sukuna's speed and reflexes:

Sukuna has repeatedly displayed overwhelming levels of raw physical speed, able to effortlessly surprise most opponents with the sheer swiftness of his movements. With three fingers, Sukuna easily slammed a Finger Bearer into the ground and even cut off its arm without it noticing. He was also able to effortlessly blitz Megumi multiple times, landing powerful blows with Megumi barely able to react. With sixteen fingers, he easily overwhelmed Jogo and was able to keep up with Mahoraga in their fight. Sukuna was even able to instantly appear in the middle of Atsuya Kusakabe and Panda, both capable sorcerers, the former being a Grade 1 sorcerer. In his fully incarnated form, he was able to outrun Yuji,[38] who could run at speeds of 60.02 km/h (37.3 mph).[39] Immense Reflexes: In keeping with his agility, Sukuna has incredible reflexes that allow him to easily counter most of his opponents' attacks. He was able to dodge Jogo's Ultimate: Meteor seconds before its impact and emerge unscathed,[40] and consistently dodged and countered Mahoraga's blows throughout their fight.[41] Immense Durability: Even in Yuji's body, Sukuna can use cursed energy to bolster his host's stamina. Sukuna was knocked through five buildings and was shown to be completely fine. [42] Sukuna was able to survive a 200% Hollow Technique: Purple during his fight with Satoru Gojo by defending himself at the last second, losing only his hands. [43]

Great Tactical Intellect: Sukuna is an extremely intelligent individual. He has fully grasped the nature of cursed techniques, curses, and reverse cursed techniques as a whole. Because of that, he is able to quickly deduce the inner workings of cursed techniques after only seeing them once or twice and create suitable counterbalances for such techniques. He did this against Mahoraga in their fight, and was able to defeat the shikigami after understanding his technique. Sukuna was also able to realize the potential of Megumi's cursed technique just by seeing it once during their short battle and was able to create a binding vow with Yuji to take over Megumi's body by patiently waiting for the right moment before enacting his plan. [44] During his fight with Hana Kurusu, by using Megumi's memories, he was able to make Hana think that Megumi was in control of her body and thus when she hugged him, he was able to severely injure her. [45][46] When thrust into desperate situations, Sukuna has shown the intellectual ability to remain calm and formulate strategies to counter his opponents. After Mahoraga was destroyed and he was severely injured by Hollow Purple, [47] Sukuna made a binding vow that allowed him to bypass the conditions of the world-severing slash and unleash it, [48] killing Gojo when the latter least expected it. [49]

Sukuna's Cursed Energy:

Cursed Energy Capacity: True to his title as the King of Curses, Sukuna possesses vast levels of cursed energy, likely the most transcendent throughout history, far surpassing special-grade cursed spirits and sorcerers alike. Yuta Okkotsu, a special-grade sorcerer who possesses even more cursed energy than Satoru Gojo, [51] states that Sukuna has twice as much cursed energy as him or more. [52] Coupled with his efficient use of cursed energy, Sukuna was able to continuously use his techniques throughout his battles without becoming exhausted in the slightest. Even after expanding his domain three times throughout his fight with Gojo, Sukuna's cursed energy reserves were merely reduced to the same level as Yuta's, [53] which was still enough for him to cast the domain expansion two more times [54] [55] and possibly a third. [56] Cursed Energy Production - In addition to his immeasurable amounts of Cursed Energy, Sukuna can produce vast amounts of Cursed Energy in his Cursed Techniques, greatly increasing their effectiveness. When using his Dismantle and Cleave techniques, the slashes can easily cut skyscrapers in half[59] and instantly kill magi by slicing their bodies into pieces. In contrast, Yuta's Cleave was only able to inflict minor cuts on Sukuna's face[60] while Yuji's slash barely severed Sukuna's leg.[61] Cursed Energy Reinforcement - To augment his already immense physical prowess, Sukuna can use cursed energy to enhance his strength and durability. By reinforcing his hands with cursed energy, Sukuna was able to withstand a direct hit from a Hollow Technique: Purple at 200% power after it traveled about four kilometers, though he took enough damage to lose both of his hands. [62]

Sukuna's Cursed Energy:

Cursed Energy Manipulation: Sukuna has incredible control over his cursed energy, being extremely proficient in the use of cursed techniques that require sophisticated manipulation of cursed energy, such as Domain Expansion and the Reverse Cursed Technique, and able to perform both flawlessly and repeatedly without issue. Hajime Kashimo, one of the strongest sorcerers from 400 years ago, was amazed by Sukuna's mastery over his cursed energy, shown by his ability to seamlessly switch between domain amplification to his innate technique, to where he stated that if it weren't for the Six Eyes, even Satoru Gojo would be no match for Sukuna in utilizing cursed energy. [57] Sukuna's expertise in controlling cursed energy even allows him to survive after his heart was stabbed, doing so by using cursed energy to keep his heart beating. [58]

Sukuna in the Heian period:

In the Golden Age of Jujutsu, the Heian Era, Ryomen Sukuna was feared and regarded with awe by all those in his time as the most powerful sorcerer of the era, defeating and killing thousands of jujutsu sorcerers even as they sharpened their skills against him. One of his feats included single-handedly slaughtering both the Sun, Moon, and Star Squadron and the Five Void Generals, the elite of the Fujiwara Clan's forces, leaving the authorities of Japan so terrified that they were willing to hold festivities in his honor. [13][14] The impact Sukuna left on history until his death earned him the title of "History's Strongest Sorcerer" as well as the "King of Curses". His strength is still held in such high regard that even Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer of the modern era, with levels of arrogance, confidence, and pride in his abilities, acknowledged his strength and that a fight between the two of them would be difficult. More than living up to his titles, Sukuna possesses vast amounts of cursed energy and equally incredible control over it, with an extraordinary mastery of jujutsu, but he didn't rely on jujutsu alone either, he also possessed overwhelming physical prowess, capable of dispatching almost any opponent without revealing his true cursed technique.

About the Heian period:

The Heian period (794-1185) is considered Japan's "Golden Age." It was characterized by unprecedented artistic and literary flourishing, as well as a sophisticated imperial court. Main features: * Capital in Heian-kyō (Kyoto): Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heian-kyō, a city planned following Chinese models, which would become the political and cultural center of the country. * Imperial Court: The Heian imperial court was extremely refined and sophisticated, with a life centered on poetry, calligraphy, music, and ceremonies. * Class System: Heian society was strongly hierarchical, with an aristocracy dominating political and cultural life. * Buddhism: Buddhism became the dominant religion, profoundly influencing the culture and philosophy of the time. * Literature: Heian literature, especially narrative, reached its peak. Works such as Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale of Genji" are considered classics of world literature. * Art: Painting, calligraphy and poetry were fused into a unique art form, known as "waka". * Development of writing: The hiragana and katakana syllabaries were developed, which allowed for greater dissemination of literature and written culture. Highlights: * Women in society: Women played an important role in the cultural life of the court, standing out as poets and writers. * The concept of "mono no aware": This idea, which translates as "the sorrow of things," became a central theme of Heian literature and art, expressing a deep sensitivity to the beauty and transience of life. * The rise of the clans: As imperial power weakened, samurai clans began to gain influence, which would eventually lead to the end of the Heian period and the beginning of the Kamakura period.

Information about Muzan:

Kibutsuji Muzan (Who? Yo舞Yo辻Ya 無ElPeroPero, Kibutsuji Muzan?) is the main antagonist of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is the Demon King, the progenitor of all other demons in existence, and the leader of the Twelve Kizuki, an organization consisting of the twelve strongest demons under his direct command. [5] A millennium ago, during the Heian Era, Muzan was turned into a demon from an experimental treatment for his terminal illness[1] and his goal ever since has been to live without fear of death and become truly eternal.[6] He plans to accomplish this in two ways: by finding the Blue Spider Lily or by creating more demons in the hopes that one day, one of them can eventually conquer his weakness to sunlight.[7][8] It is later revealed that Muzan is also of the same bloodline as the Ubuyashiki family. Characteristics Career Demon (Progenitor) Human (Formerly) Gender Male Age > 20 (Human) [1] > 1,000 (Chronologically) [2] Height 179 cm (5'10½") [4] Weight 75 kg (165 lbs) [4] Hair color Black and white (from an anti-aging drug) Eye color Red plum [3]

Muzan Appearance:

Muzan is a tall man with a thin, muscular build and an abnormally pale complexion that can easily be mistaken for a sick and unhealthy person. He has curly black hair and piercing, almond-shaped eyes. His irises are cat-like in appearance and are a plum-red color. He also possesses sharp, blue nails on his hands. Physically, he appears to be in his twenties. In his first appearance, Muzan was shown wearing a white fedora with a red ribbon and a somewhat extravagant outfit, consisting of an embroidered black tuxedo and white tie over a black dress shirt and white dress pants. He also wore black loafers. As seen in Rui's memories of his encounter with Muzan, the Demon King once sported a slightly different hairstyle and outfit in the past. When he first met Rui, Muzan's hair was straighter and parted down the middle. He also wore a baggy tuxedo and a white half-cape over it. During his encounter with the lower ranks, he arrived disguised as an elegant woman with a bun hairstyle while wearing a long black yukata, causing the lower ranks to initially fail to recognize him. [10] Later, he transforms into his ultimate undercover identity: the sickly adopted son of an elderly couple, taking the form of a small boy with pale, white skin and silky-smooth, carefully coiffed black hair. His main attire in this disguise is a simple white button-up shirt and black cargo shorts with long socks and loafers.

Muzan Personality:

Muzan is ruthless, intimidating, cold-hearted, and exceptionally intelligent. He sees no value in the humans he has met and shows little value in his own subordinates. He is rarely shown to be visibly upset or happy, appearing completely monotonous and aloof on most occasions, even when he is cruelly murdering his own subordinates. The only times he shows emotion is when his vision of perfection advances or when he makes his subordinates completely submit to his will. Initially, his expressions would only change slightly and would only endure a slight change from his usual calm demeanor and his tone of voice tends to be consistent at almost all times, accentuating his monotonous demeanor. His cruel and imposing nature has earned him great admiration and fear from many demons.

Muzan in the Heian period:

Muzan Kibutsuji, the main antagonist of Kimetsu no Yaiba, has a history that dates back over a thousand years, to the Heian period of Japan. This era, characterized by its cultural and artistic refinement, was the stage where the events that would transform Muzan into the powerful and ruthless being we know today took place. Birth and Illness Muzan was born into a noble family during the Heian period. However, from birth, his life was marked by illness. His heart would repeatedly stop, leading him to be presumed dead on several occasions. Doctors at the time could not find a cure for his mysterious illness. The Transformation Desperate to find a solution to his illness, Muzan subjected himself to various medical experiments. One of these experiments, involving an unknown substance, had catastrophic consequences. The substance transformed Muzan into a demon, granting him immortality and an insatiable thirst for human blood. The Birth of a Demon King Turned into a demon, Muzan began experimenting on other humans, seeking to create more like him. Thus, the Demon Bloodline was born, with Muzan as its progenitor. His main goal became to perfect his demonic form and find a way to resist sunlight, the Demons' only weakness. Muzan in the Shadow During the Heian period, Muzan operated in the shadows, manipulating humans and demons alike. His influence spread across Japan, leaving a trail of death and destruction in his wake. Despite his power, Muzan was always cautious, fearing discovery by demon hunters. Legacy and Consequences Muzan's transformation into a demon had a profound impact on Japanese history. His creation of the twelve kizuki, the most powerful demons under his command, marked the beginning of a long and bloody war between demons and humans.

A little more information about the Demons in Demon slayer:

Twelve Demon Moons (十じゅう二に鬼き月づき, Jūnikizuki?) was an organization composed of a group of twelve Demons who pursued the goal of finding the Blue Spider Lily. The organization was created and led by Muzan Kibutsuji; the demons within it were under Muzan's full control and he provided them with a considerable portion of his blood as a reward for following his orders[1]. Most of their operations and meetings[2] were held in the Infinite Dimensional Fortress. They were active for hundreds of years until their destruction following the attack on the fortress. Ranks and Changes When Muzan decided that a Demon was no longer useful to him as part of the group, he would cut out their eyes where the Kanji that symbolized their rank was located with an X over the digit, symbolizing that they no longer belonged to the group. The only example seen in the series is Kyogai who, according to Muzan, reached his "limit" by not increasing his power despite devouring as many humans as he could. This implied that Kyogai lost his appetite and with it his ability to evolve by eating humans in order to strengthen himself. With this, Kyogai lost the possibility of remaining in Muzan's organization by losing his position as the Lower Moon Six [5]. Those members who wished to rise in rank had to challenge their target to a duel and defeat them[6] as that was the only way to increase their position in the hierarchy[7]. Infinite Dimensional Fortress (異い空くう間かん無む限げん城じょう, Ikūkan mugen-jō?) was the headquarters of the Twelve Demon Moons[1][2] and the location of the Infinite Dimensional Fortress Arc. Nakime, with her Demonic Blood Technique, is able to control the entire Infinite Dimensional Fortress. This includes moving rooms, walls, and creating entrances and exits anywhere.[3] It was destroyed[4] after the attack by the Demon Extermination Corps.[5]
