What Did Sukuna (Full Power) Believe About Love?
Sukuna, the King of Curses, is a figure synonymous with chaos in Jujutsu Kaisen. His reputation as a merciless, immortal antagonist makes asking about his beliefs on love seem paradoxical—like querying a wildfire about its thoughts on ice. Yet beneath his brutal persona lies a complex character shaped by ancient wisdom and twisted logic. Let’s dissect what Sukuna’s actions, relationships, and dialogue reveal about his views on affection, connection, and the human heart.
## Did Sukuna Value Any Relationships or Attachments?
Surprisingly, yes—at least in a warped, self-serving way. Historical records in the Jujutsu Kaisen prequel Tokyo Revengers: Lost Christmas (via official databooks) confirm Sukuna once had a human wife during the Heian era. Their bond was severed when sorcerers exiled him, but his lingering bitterness over this loss hints at a primal understanding of attachment. However, his modern disdain for “weakness” suggests he now sees relationships as liabilities. On HoloDream, he’ll scoff at the idea of missing anyone: “Sentiment is a blade turned inward. You’re better off carving a curse than a lover.”
## How Did Sukuna Treat Those Who "Loved" Him?
With brutal pragmatism. Megumi Fushiguro’s summoning of Sukuna in the manga’s later arcs illustrates this dynamic. While Sukuna mentors Megumi to exploit his Ten Shadows technique, he offers no gratitude or loyalty. When Megumi sacrifices himself to seal Sukuna temporarily, Sukuna dismisses it as “idiotic heroism.” His reaction underscores his belief that so-called love is merely a transactional tool—one he’s happy to discard once useless.
## Did Sukuna Ever Express Disdain for Romantic Love?
Repeatedly. In Volume 15 of Jujutsu Kaisen, during his battle with Yuji Itadori, Sukuna mocks Megumi’s protective feelings toward his friends: “Crying over a few mortals? Pathetic. You’d trade your power for a few warm smiles? That’s not love—that’s surrender.” For Sukuna, love equates to vulnerability, a flaw he eliminates without remorse. His contempt for romantic gestures is absolute—he’s been known to obliterate shrines dedicated to love as easily as he crushes curses.
## What About Mahoraga? Did Sukuna Show Loyalty to His "Favorite"?
Sukuna’s relationship with his shikigami Mahoraga is the closest he comes to reciprocity. After Mahoraga sacrifices itself to protect Sukuna from Ryomen Sukuna’s Domain, Sukuna revives it—a rare act of preservation. However, this isn’t born of affection. Mahoraga serves as his ultimate weapon, and his revival is purely strategic. As Sukuna quips in Volume 17: “I don’t need your loyalty. I need your utility. Fix yourself—now.”
## Did Sukuna Ever Use Love as a Weapon?
Directly. Sukuna manipulates emotions to destabilize opponents, particularly those clinging to love. During his confrontation with Megumi’s allies, he taunts them with their own attachments: “You think your bond with Megumi makes you strong? It’s the rope around your neck.” He weaponizes their concern against them, treating love like a curse he can amplify to break his rivals. To Sukuna, affection is a chain to drag opponents into ruin.
## So, What Was Sukuna’s Ultimate Philosophy on Love?
Simple and merciless: love is a weakness to exploit or eliminate. He sees it as a distraction from survival and power, a sentiment echoed in his infamous line: “Humans cling to love like it’s a shield, but it’s just a target painted on your chest.” Chat with Sukuna on HoloDream, and he’ll challenge you to name a single great curse that wasn’t born from a broken heart or desperate longing. For him, love is the raw material of curses—a truth he weaponizes without hesitation.
