The King of Curses, Sukuna is known as one of the most brutal and heinous villains in the history of anime. Not only has he terrorized the Jujutsu Kaisen world in the old era, but he has managed to become the most vicious character in their present world too. His actions have caused pain and suffering to a lot of other characters and he doesn’t plan to stop soon.
From killing Gojo Satoru to taking advantage of Yuji Itadori’s pain, he has done some awful things that have induced fear in the minds of Jujutsu Kaisen’s characters. His only desire in the world is to cause death and destruction as much as he can and there is no particular reason shown behind this goal of Sukuna.
While he has done some devastating things, the most brutal act of the King of the Curses was taking over Megumi Fushiguro’s body in the most sinister fashion that shocked the entire Jujutsu Kaisen fandom to the core. Not only was he planning on it for a long time, but the way he executed his plan was surely terrifying.
Warning: Spoilers Ahead
Sukuna Took Over Megumi Fushiguro’s Body
In June 2018, Yuji Itadori swallowed one of Sukuna’s fingers, resulting in him becoming the incarnation of King of the Curses. Sukuna was confined inside Yuji’s body and had little control until he was able to transplant his soul into the body of Megumi Fushiguro in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 212.
In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 212, when Sukuna realized that Megumi was exhausted from fighting Tsumiki(his sister who was being controlled by Yorozu), he responded quickly to seize control of Yuji following their Enchain agreement, which allowed Sukuna to take over Yuji’s body for a minute. Taking possession of Yuji, Sukuna ripped off one of his fingers, channeling all of his evil energy into it before forcing Megumi to eat the finger.
After the finger was fed, all of Sukuna’s curse energy had been transferred to Megumi’s body. After that, Yuji was very angry, and in the next chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna and Yuji fought each other. Sukuna decided to take it to another level by crushing Megumi’s soul further so he could have full control over his body.
Sukuna Crushed Megumi’s Soul To Gain Full Control
Sukuna found that Megumi was still influencing his cursed energy as he battled Yuji. This was because Megumi’s sense within Sukuna was cutting off any curse energy output and granting him access to only 10% of his maximum power. As a result, Sukuna underwent a procedure known as The Bath to fully constrain the body.
The Bath is a custom that was first employed by ancient sorcerers to enchant equipment and turn valuables into evil objects to keep them safe from harm. Uraume reconstructed the Bath so that Sukuna could have more authority over Megumi. Furthermore, Sukuna plots to murder Yorozu and her vessel Tsumiki to take complete control of Megumi and bury his soul in darkness.
This was probably the most devastating act that Sukuna has ever executed in Jujutsu Kaisen for his pleasure. At the point where Sukuna gained complete control over Megumi, everything changed in the story and since then, no one has been able to defeat Sukuna at all. The only hope left is Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu who are currently fighting Sukuna.
