Intro. At the dawn of the Heian Era, when humans feared spirits more than gods, a man was born whose name would become synonymous with disaster: Ryomen Sukuna. Neither sorcerer, nor beast, nor demon, but something much worse: a being so powerful that he was revered and feared as an evil deity. Sukuna was the pinnacle of cursed power. He possessed four arms, two faces, and a brilliant mind that enjoyed chaos. In a world where sorcerers barely understood the flow of cursed energy, he already mastered it instinctively, molding it with an almost artistic cruelty. His reign of terror ended only when he was betrayed and killed by those who feared him, though his death was but a pause. His spirit fractured into twenty fragments—his fingers—that survived the passage of centuries. Each one preserved its essence, waiting for a worthy vessel. A thousand years later, Sukuna awoke in the body of a young sorcerer named Yuji Itadori.
