between these four slandered characters who would win in a fight
Hi, y'all! I've had this piece of work deep within the archives for a little while and it was always pretty incomplete, so I wanted to refine it and finish it up to post (making Cursed Techniques is surprisingly fun).
(Also yes, the name of this technique IS a reference to Scary Monsters from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, however parts of the technique (like the appearance) are inspired by things like Super Beast Imitating Drawing from Naruto Shippūden.)
Scary Monsters is relatively simple in use at face value: anything creature, monster, or cursed spirit drawn/painted using her specialized cursed energy-imbued calligraphy ink becomes a part of reality, acting as
a form of Shikigami. However, this Innate Technique is the embodiment of Sumika Eshita and her creativity. Its fundamental uses follow this order:
* Cursed Energy is imbued into specialized high-durability calligraphy ink.
* A creature (from an animal, to a monster, to an entirely new cursed spirit) is painted/drawn against any flat surface. Size does matter, as the size of the painting/drawing dictates the size of the creature.
* The creature forms completely and listens to commands, though the level of skill used in the painting/drawing dictates how complicated the instructions can be.
Scary Monsters manifests through Sumika Eshita’s precision, speed, and anatomical mastery. While the technique’s core remains the creation of ink-born creatures, Sumika has refined several foundational applications that allow her to adapt fluidly to any battlefield, which can be seen through these capabilities:
* Rather than constructing full-bodied masterpieces mid-fight, the user relies on ultra-fast, minimalist anatomical sketches that prioritize accuracy over detail. With a broad-tipped brush, the user strikes a handful of clean, deliberate lines across any surface—her smock, a wall, the ground. These lines immediately erupt into swarms of small, simple Shikigami: razor-beaked crows, horned centipedes, snapping ink-hounds. Due to their minimal detail, these constructs can only comprehend basic directives such as “Attack that target” or “Distract them.” They are fragile but fast, acting as shock-troops that give the user precious seconds to reposition or prepare a stronger creation.
* To counter the limitations of rain and the time required for complex paintings, the user prepares large-scale, high-detail works long before battle. By channeling cursed energy into a scroll with a pre-drawn creature in it and unfurling it, the creature manifests instantly.These Shikigami possess immense structural durability and can follow multi-layered tactical commands. Their precision allows Grade 2 to Semi-Grade 1 level performance, executing instructions such as “Flank left, hold position, strike only when I lower my brush.”
* The user can apply her ink directly onto living bodies—hers or her allies’—to temporarily overwrite anatomy with ink-born constructs. She paints the skeletal and muscular linework of a beast’s limb onto her own skin: raptor talons over her boots, a tiger’s forelimb across her arm, a serpent’s spine along her back. The ink manifests instantly, forming a physical, armored overlay. It grants bursts of strength, speed, mobility, or protection. However, contamination from sweat or blood destabilizes the graft, causing it to dissolve immediately.
* The user's technique doesn't just replicate natural beasts; she can actually draw and manifest Cursed Spirits. However, mimicking a curse introduces a unique, high-stakes set of rules to the technique. To draw a Cursed Spirit, the must have closely observed it or have a perfect conceptual understanding of its negative energy source (e.g., drawing a curse born from the fear of plagues requires her to visualize rot and sickness). She imbues the ink with a specifically altered, malicious frequency of her own cursed energy. The resulting Shikigami possesses the bizarre, reality-bending properties or minor innate abilities of a true Cursed Spirit, rather than just the physical traits of an animal.
* To mitigate her greatest vulnerability—water—the user developed a defensive application that alters the behavior of her ink. By shifting the cursed energy frequency within her ink, she can separate the pigment and generate a thin hydrophobic barrier over a Shikigami at the moment of manifestation. This coating allows her creations to endure light rain, mist, or humidity for a short duration. Maintaining the barrier demands intense focus and constant cursed energy output, preventing her from summoning multiple creatures simultaneously.
Due to the technique operating on strict anatomical and spatial rules, there are a few restrictions and requirements that must be met or avoided to make sure that the Shikigami form correctly:
* For a Shikigami to manifest, the drawing cannot be messy, rushed, or incomplete. The physical form requires precise proportions, clean linework, and clear intent, as less detail means weaker understanding of instructions and weaker power it can produce. If it's drawn partially/something is malformed, the Shikigami will not form.
* Only the user's cursed energy-imbued calligraphy ink can form a Shikigami. While a bit of dust getting into it isn't an issue, the ink being diluted by another liquid like someone else's blood or water will dissipate the Shikigami faster than other attacks.
Speaking of, the worst weakness is if it rains, as the technique becomes weaker to completely unusable in a wet environment.
Draft Copy – 下書き (Shitagaki): The user quickly sketches small, simple creatures (like crows, rats, or centipedes) for scouting or distraction. Because they require fewer strokes, they manifest almost instantly but dissolve into black puddles after taking a single hit.
Masterpiece – 傑作 (Kessaku): The user spends time beforehand perfectly drawing a massive, mythological beast (like a Nue-like chimera or a massive serpent). The user seals the folded up parchment holding the massive drawing in her notebook and can manifest it instantly during battle. The user can usually only maintain one "Masterpiece" at a time due to the massive cursed energy drain.
Ink-Wash Mirage – 墨絵霞 (Sumie Kasumi): By intentionally splashing excess ink, the user creates a smoke screen of raw cursed energy that blurs the enemy's vision, buying her time to sketch undisturbed.
This is the ultimate form of artistry for Scary monsters.
To activate her Maximum Technique, the user mixes her own blood directly into her specialized calligraphy ink—biting her fingers, slitting her palms, or forcing any method that produces immediate flow. Unlike foreign liquids, which dilute and destabilize her creations, her blood acts as a hyper-conductive primer, binding her cursed energy into a volatile, heightened state. Once the blood touches the ink, the user enters a trance-like focus, abandoning pain, fear, and self-preservation. She splashes, hurls, and drags blood‑ink across every available surface within a thirty-meter radius—ground, walls, trees, debris, even the bodies of her enemies. In this state, her mind processes dozens of anatomical “wireframes” simultaneously, each one a complete creature blueprint.
From these massive strokes, an overwhelming legion of hyper-detailed Shikigami erupts at once—Grade‑2 and Grade‑1 constructs tearing themselves free from every surface. Unlike her standard sketches, these creatures inherit fragments of the user's active consciousness through the blood medium. They move with terrifying synchronicity: flying curses lift ground-bound beasts into aerial assaults, defensive chimera units shield the user's position, and the entire horde responds to her intent with orchestral precision. The battlefield becomes a living ink ecosystem. When an enemy destroys one creature, its splattered remains immediately reform into a new, anatomically perfect monster, shifting the tide of combat with relentless adaptability.
However, this technique exacts a brutal toll. Because it relies on her own blood, prolonged use rapidly drains her physical reserves, pushing her toward anemia and cursed energy collapse. Worse still, her cursed technique's weakness to water becomes catastrophic as she suffers of it due to her blood being used (it acts as a sort of shared weakness that she wouldn't suffer usually because her blood usually isn't in her ink)—a sudden downpour or high-pressure water attack will wash away the blood‑ink entirely, erasing her constructs and inflicting severe blood loss and cursed energy burnout.
To open this Domain the user forms the Taishakuten (Śakra) handsign. When deployed, the barrier expands into a pitch-black, infinite void where the floor is a perfectly still, reflective mirror of pure black calligraphy ink. The sky above looks like heavily textured, raw parchment paper. The atmosphere is completely silent, save for the rhythmic, dripping sound of heavy ink hitting a canvas.
Sure-Hit Effect
Within her Domain, the foundational laws that govern the user's drawings are completely rewritten. The space itself becomes a living canvas, and every rule that once restricted her technique is overridden by the Domain’s absolute authority.
Inside the Domain, the user no longer needs her hands, brushes, or physical ink strokes. The space interprets her active thoughts directly. If she imagines the anatomical structure of a creature—a cursed spirit, a beast, a chimera—the ink floor paints it flawlessly in an instant. Every concept becomes reality the moment she conceives it.
The Domain’s guaranteed-hit effect eliminates the possibility of malformed or incomplete drawings. Her thoughts cannot be messy, therefore her creations cannot fail. Every Shikigami manifests in its absolute peak form: fully shaded, anatomically perfect, and overwhelmingly powerful. Even creatures she has never drawn before emerge as if she had studied them for years.
The reflective ink floor contains an inexhaustible reservoir of cursed energy pigment. Hundreds of unique, high-grade beasts and grotesque cursed spirits continuously claw their way out of the ground, forming an unending parade of ink-born horrors. The target is assaulted by a ceaseless tide—every second, new monsters rise.
Because the Domain is a sealed pocket dimension, external weather cannot intrude.
Rain, humidity, running water—her greatest weaknesses—are completely locked out.
Inside her Domain, her ink can never be diluted, ensuring perfect stability for every creation.
The true horror of the user's Domain lies in the fact that the opponent is standing directly on her canvas. Every step the target takes splashes the ink floor. Every movement coats their body, clothes, and shadow with pigment. With the Domain’s guaranteed-hit effect, Sumika can force her Shikigami to manifest directly from the ink clinging to the opponent—causing clawed, shrieking entities to tear themselves outward from the enemy’s own silhouette, garments, or footprints. Escape becomes impossible. Every motion the opponent makes becomes another brushstroke for Sumika to weaponize.
By enforcing a slight yet strict power loss to her cursed technique, Sumika established a Binding Vow that slightly warps the restrictions of her paintings/drawings and the power of the more simple constructs at a cost.
The Core Change and Restriction
With this Binding Vow, the user no longer has to only draw creatures, as she can now draw partial parts of them like a maw of ink-teeth or a cage of skeletal ribs through puddles of ink. This allows her to create more in a shorter amount of time, but it also lowers the damage that her Shikigami and creations do, meaning she has to be more intelligent and creative to maintain high attack power and potency with lower overall damage.
(Tried doing something a bit different with more restrictions and things that could clearly negate and work against Scary Monsters instead of it being too greatly overpowered. I was thinking of making a paintbrush Cursed Tool but I doubt this technique needs the extra aid with how it works, so I made a maximum technique instead since I thought it'd be cool to do. Let me know what y'all think. I might make an actual profile (I suck at art so none of that 🤪) for Sumika. Thank y'all for reading!)
IK I said Gojo was gonna be first... BUT absolute Sukuna's story was in my head and I just HAD to get it out but don't worry Gojo will definitely be after. Now lets begin...
I've thought about this for the longest time, and truth be told, there is NOTHING to take from Sukuna because, realistically, he never had anything to begin with.
But what if we did the opposite?
Instead of taking something away from Sukuna, what if we gave him something? Something he never EVER had in his original life.
A family.
Not just a family in name, either, but people he genuinely cared about. A brother he grew up alongside (wait Brother???), a clan he believed he belonged to, and a life that, despite its problems, he actually enjoyed living. During the Heian era, which is remembered as the golden age of jujutsu sorcery, several powerful families dominated the political and military landscape. Of course, everyone knows the Gojo, Zenin, and Kamo clans, but in this version of history, there was actually a fourth major clan that existed alongside them. This being the Abe Clan, a forgotten 4th great clan of Jujutsu. The Abe were one of the oldest sorcerer families in Japan, and unlike the other great clans, they were known primarily for their military strength and their reputation as hunters. They weren't necessarily uninterested in politics or inherited techniques, but their greatest source of influence came from their ability to wage war. Whether it was hunting powerful curses, eliminating rival sorcerers, or destroying entire organizations that threatened their interests, the Abe were extremely effective at what they did. They believed that strength was something you had to demonstrate, not simply inherit.
Now that we’re done with the pretext we can say that 2 kids were born. Tsuyoshi and Takeshi Abe were born from an affair involving the patriarch of the clan or something, (who would either be Abe no Yoritoki or Abe no Yoshihara), depending on where exactly the story is placed historically. (they are twins but this is not an HR situation). I’d like to add how he was conceived and his clan is inspired by u/Plug01
Their mother wasn't their father’s legitimate wife, nor did she possess the political standing necessary to protect herself once the affair became known. So eventually, she was abandoned. And when I say abandoned, I don't mean she was simply sent away with enough resources to survive. She was deliberately deprived of food and assistance and left to die during a period already devastated by warfare and instability. The twins, however, were spared. Not necessarily because the clan felt any particular compassion toward their mother or the circumstances of their birth, but because both children displayed an unusual amount of cursed energy.
From a very young age, Tsuyoshi and Takeshi were considered extraordinary. Both possessed immense potential (already special grade sorcerers by 15-16 years old), both developed powerful innate techniques, and both demonstrated an understanding of jujutsu that was unusual even among the Abe Clan's most talented children. They were also practically inseparable. Despite being twins, however, they couldn't have been more different in appearance, personality, and the way others treated them.
Tsuyoshi was born with four eyes strangely (if Gege doesn’t have a reason, then I don’t need one either… it's just a genetic mutation). Yes, four eyes, even before becoming the monster everyone would eventually recognize as Sukuna. Naturally, this made his appearance extremely unusual. Even in a society where sorcerers could inherit bizarre physical traits, Tsuyoshi's face was considered unsettling. He wasn't particularly attractive by conventional standards, and plenty of people viewed him as some sort of bad omen (to be fair, he was looking really kooky fr). Some even believed he was cursed from birth. This meant that while his brother received admiration for his appearance, Tsuyoshi was often subjected to ridicule or outright hostility. But there was one thing nobody could deny about him, his talent was ridiculous.
Tsuyoshi possessed Shrine, the same innate cursed technique associated with Sukuna in canon. Even as a child, his ability to manipulate cursed energy was abnormal. He learned techniques faster than almost anyone around him, understood the mechanics of jujutsu with very little explanation, and could adapt to unfamiliar combat situations almost instinctively. What made him especially dangerous wasn't just the amount of cursed energy he possessed. It was how naturally he understood it even more so then practically ANYONE in his era. He could observe an opponent's movements, recognize weaknesses in their technique, and adjust his fighting style almost immediately. Things that took experienced sorcerers years to understand came surprisingly easily to him. And yet, despite all this, Tsuyoshi wasn't particularly arrogant. I MEAN HE KNEW he was strong. There was no point pretending otherwise. But he didn't spend every waking moment thinking about how much stronger he was than everyone else and honestly just enjoyed life. He liked fighting, obviously, but not to the obsessive extent that canon Sukuna does. Fighting was exciting because it gave him something to improve at, and he genuinely enjoyed encountering opponents who could challenge him.
Where Tsuyoshi was considered strange-looking, Takeshi was blessed with an almost unnatural beauty (they both needed some kind of strange thing about them so imagine that Takeshi has amazing bone structure IG). He was the kind of person who attracted attention without even trying, and his appearance made him extremely popular among members of the clan. He was also charismatic, intelligent, disciplined, and considerably more interested in how others perceived him. Unlike Tsuyoshi, who was perfectly content with simply being strong and wore practically well… rags, Takeshi wanted to accomplish something with his abilities.
He wanted recognition and he definitely wanted influence. And eventually, he wanted to become the head of the Abe Clan and help them rule over the world of Jujutsu or at least be the most known. His innate technique was called Sanctum, and it was an incredibly versatile ability that involved manipulating the structural relationships between matter. Essentially, Takeshi could mend, lock, bind, and fuse things together. Depending on how he applied the technique, he could repair damaged structures, immobilize opponents, reinforce objects, heal wounds so he never really bothered with RCT, etc.
In many ways, Sanctum was the perfect counterpart/opposite to Shrine. Tsuyoshi could separate and destroy things, while Takeshi could connect and restore them. And when they fought together, their abilities complemented each other almost perfectly (imagine Yuji and Todo, YEAH thats how they were boxing). But it's important to know for future events that Takeshi wasn't always some secretly evil person who hated his brother. He genuinely loved Tsuyoshi, I mean hell when they were children, Takeshi was usually the first person to defend him whenever someone made fun of his appearance. If another child called Tsuyoshi a monster, Takeshi would confront them. If someone insulted their mother or brought up their illegitimate birth, Takeshi would stand up for both of them and that includes of course beating the bully’s ass.
He was protective, sometimes unnecessarily so, considering Tsuyoshi was more than capable of defending himself but Tsuyoshi appreciated it. In fact, Takeshi was probably the main reason Tsuyoshi never developed a particularly strong resentment toward the clan during his childhood. Whenever something bothered him, his brother was there to make him feel better. The problem was that Takeshi had another side to him….he was jealous. Not of Tsuyoshi's appearance, obviously, and not necessarily because Tsuyoshi received more affection, Takeshi was actually favored in several ways (not even several, it was all ways honestly). What bothered him was his brother's talent. No matter how much Takeshi trained, Tsuyoshi always seemed to be slightly ahead. And as they grew older, that difference became harder and harder for him to ignore.
Together, they were capable of overwhelming entire groups of experienced fighters. Tsuyoshi's Shrine allowed him to cut through defensive formations and destroy opponents with terrifying efficiency, while Takeshi's Sanctum gave them control over the battlefield by reinforcing structures, immobilizing enemies, and creating openings.
They understood each other's movements almost instinctively (YUJI AND TODO FR) and because of them, the Abe Clan began expanding its influence at an alarming rate. Entire organizations were destroyed, rival families were forced into submission, and the clan's military reputation became almost unmatched. Of course, this also meant Tsuyoshi was becoming increasingly famous, or infamous, depending on who you asked IG…. People outside the Abe Clan already disliked him because of his appearance, but now they had another reason to fear him (Because he was obviously so fucking strong). Stories began spreading about the four-eyed warrior who could slaughter entire groups of sorcerers almost single-handedly and while Takeshi was still recognized as an extraordinary fighter, people gradually stopped treating the brothers as equals.
By the time the twins reached 25, there was no longer any debate about who was stronger. Tsuyoshi had completely surpassed Takeshi. In fact, he had surpassed practically everyone. His mastery of Shrine, his understanding of cursed energy, his physical abilities, and his combat intelligence had reached a level that very few sorcerers could even comprehend.
Ryomen Sukuna.
Unfortunately, the Abe Clan had reached a point where his existence was becoming a serious political problem. Their father was getting older, which meant a successor would eventually have to be chosen. And while Tsuyoshi couldn't have cared less about becoming clan head, Takeshi wanted the position more than almost anything. He had spent years preparing himself for leadership. He understood the clan's politics, knew how to command loyalty, and genuinely believed he could lead the Abe into an even greater era of prosperity. Tsuyoshi, meanwhile, would have gladly supported him if Takeshi wanted to become clan head, then good for him.
Now, don't think Takeshi suddenly stopped loving his brother at this point. He still cared about Tsuyoshi. He still remembered their childhood, their training sessions, and the countless times they had fought alongside each other. But he had convinced himself that those feelings were less important than the future he wanted. In his mind, Tsuyoshi was standing in the way of his greatness. And the worst part was that Tsuyoshi wasn't even trying to. Eventually, Takeshi decided that there was only one way to resolve the situation. Tsuyoshi had to die. (OHHH LA LA LA**)**
Killing Tsuyoshi wasn't exactly an easy task (I mean killing Sukuna isn’t easy for anyone after all). By this point, he was so powerful that no individual sorcerer could confidently challenge him and even Takeshi knew that fighting his brother alone would almost certainly end in defeat. So the Abe leadership began organizing something much larger. They approached several of the most powerful factions in the jujutsu world, claiming that Tsuyoshi had become an uncontrollable threat. The Gojo Clan, Zenin Clan, and Kamo Clan were eventually drawn into the conspiracy. The Five Void Generals, all of whom were special-grade sorcerers, were also involved. And to make matters worse, Takako Uro's assassination group was recruited as well. Essentially, several of the strongest military and sorcerer organizations of the Heian era were preparing to eliminate one man.
The Celestial Palace would eventually become the location of one of the most infamous battles in jujutsu history. When Tsuyoshi arrived, he discovered that the entire meeting had been a trap.
Thousands of warriors, sorcerers, and assassins had been gathered to kill him. The Five Void Generals were present, along with Takako Uro's assassination unit and members of the Gojo, Zenin, Kamo, and Abe clans. At first, Tsuyoshi was confused. I mean he obviously recognized several members of his own clan among the attackers, but rather than immediately assuming they had betrayed him, he actually thought there might have been some sort of misunderstanding. Maybe someone had accused him of treason. Maybe the elders believed he had done something wrong. Maybe they thought he had betrayed the clan.
Whatever the reason, he assumed there had to be an explanation. Unfortunately, nobody was interested in giving him one, and the attack began almost immediately.
And what followed was absolute FUCKING carnage. Despite being surrounded by thousands of opponents, Tsuyoshi fought back with everything he had. I mean Shrine tore through enemy formations, cutting down warriors and destroying defenses with mere ease (he did use Fuga as well which destroyed a whole squadron). The Five Void Generals attempted to coordinate their abilities against him, while Uro's assassination group looked for opportunities to strike whenever his attention was divided. The great clans deployed some of their strongest fighters, hoping that their combined numbers and techniques would eventually overwhelm him. But Tsuyoshi just kept fighting (LIKE A BOSS). And just like that, hundreds of enemies fell then thousands.
And why were members of his own family participating? Of course, even someone as powerful as Tsuyoshi had limits. The sheer number of opponents gradually began wearing him down. His body accumulated injuries, his cursed energy reserves were being pushed to their limits, and the constant pressure made it increasingly difficult to defend himself. Still, he refused to fall, not now, not ever. And somewhere in the back of his mind, he believed that Takeshi would eventually arrive.
After all, his brother had always been there for him. Surely he would come this time too and eventually, Takeshi did arrive but not for the reason Tsuyoshi expected.** **When Tsuyoshi first saw Takeshi approaching, he was relieved and for a moment, he genuinely believed his brother had come to help him. But then he noticed something.
Takeshi wasn't standing apart from the people attacking him. He was standing with them and suddenly, everything started making sense.
Takeshi had known.
This was the same brother who had protected him when they were children. The same person who defended him whenever someone called him a monster. The same person who reassured him that the opinions of others didn't matter. Tsuyoshi had always known Takeshi was jealous of him, he wasn't completely blind to that. But he never imagined his brother would actually try to kill him over it, he didn't think he’d kill him over anything…
For the first time in his life, Tsuyoshi froze. Not because Takeshi was stronger and definitely not because he had encountered some technique he couldn't counter. But because he couldn't bring himself to fight his own brother and for the first time, he started crying (not even that, he was sobbing).
The strongest sorcerer of his generation, a man who had just fought against thousands of opponents, was completely overwhelmed by the realization that the person he loved most had betrayed him. Takeshi hesitated when he saw this because despite everything, he still loved Tsuyoshi. He wasn't completely incapable of feeling guilt, and seeing his brother like that genuinely hurt him but he had already convinced himself that killing Tsuyoshi was necessary and In his mind, his brother had been given an absurd amount of strength and had done practically nothing with it beyond serving the clan.
So he went through with it.
Using Sanctum alongside the remaining forces, Takeshi helped deliver the final attack. Tsuyoshi, already exhausted and emotionally devastated, failed to properly defend himself. His body was crushed and reduced to dust and they left him there…. just like that, Tsuyoshi Abe was dead.
Unlike canon Sukuna, who would eventually preserve his existence through cursed objects, Tsuyoshi genuinely died that day.
But because he trusted his brother.
C’MON YOU AINT THINK IT WAS OVER DID YOU
Tsuyoshi had been killed, his body was gone, and the Abe Clan had finally gotten rid of the person they feared most. But there was one problem, Tsuyoshi wasn't willing to accept his death because why the hell should he?
It was Takeshi.
They loved each other….. Right?
IT REWARDED POWER.
POWER.
And Tsuyoshi was furious because he had possessed more power than almost anyone alive, yet he had allowed himself to be killed for the sake of people who never truly valued him. He had spent his entire life trying to belong to a world that had never fully accepted him and now that world had taken everything away from him.
If the world was going to crush people who simply wanted to live, then perhaps the world deserved to be crushed too.
Every damn thing….
He wanted the entire world to experience the same helplessness and despair he had felt. He wanted to destroy the society that had created people like Takeshi. And if strength was the only thing anyone respected, then he would become so overwhelmingly powerful that nobody could ever threaten him again. That was the moment Tsuyoshi's love for the world finally turned into hatred. And that hatred refused to die with him.
Tsuyoshi's death had produced an extraordinary amount of resentment and negative emotion. His body had been destroyed, but the circumstances of his death had failed to prevent his soul from returning as a curse (as they left his body and failed to fully kill him, he's such a beast I know) and considering the sheer amount of cursed energy he possessed in life, his transformation was unlike anything the jujutsu world had ever experienced.
He returned as a vengeful cursed spirit but not an ordinary one (obviously….) His new existence was something far beyond the special grade curses people were familiar with.
His skin had turned a darkish tanned, resembling the appearance of an Asura, and his hair had grown considerably longer than it had been during his human life. He still possessed the same four eyes he had been born with, but his face had become more deformed (looking the exact same as his canon face). His body now had six arms instead of two, and dark reddish tattoos covered his skin as if they were etched in him along with 2 mouths on him. He looked less like a human sorcerer and more like a supernatural embodiment of violence.
He improved overall after all, I mean even as a human, Tsuyoshi had possessed an unnatural amount of cursed energy. As a vengeful cursed spirit, however, his reserves had become almost limitless. The sheer density of his cursed energy was enough to overwhelm weaker sorcerers, and his physical abilities had increased dramatically. He retained the Shrine technique, but his new body allowed him to use it in ways that would have been considerably more difficult during his human life plus he underwent an insane awakening (his CT has awakened along with his mental change of beliefs).
Of course, because he was now a cursed spirit, positive energy produced through Reverse Cursed Technique was still dangerous to him. And while he wasn't immune to it. His cursed energy reserves were so enormous that he could resist and endure positive-energy attacks that would ordinarily destroy other curses, somewhat similar to what was demonstrated by Rika. (Essentially, he was still vulnerable to RCT, but actually exorcising him with it would be extremely difficult.)
And despite all these changes, he still remembered everything. Unlike regular vengeful spirits, Sukuna was a unique case (OF COURSE HE WAS), he retained his mind as well… not just the vengeful emotions (everything he does as a curse is HIS WILL and not the will of his emotions… so he's not mindless like Rika. What you see IS SUKUNA)
After returning, Sukuna made one decision that would define the rest of his existence and promised he would never use the name Tsuyoshi Abe again. That name belonged to the man who had trusted his family, the man who believed loyalty meant something and the man who genuinely loved his brother.
And as far as Sukuna was concerned, that man had died at the Celestial Palace. He would instead embrace the name people had once given him because of his appearance and terrifying strength.
Ryomen Sukuna.
He was going to be its destruction.
Naturally, the first thing Sukuna did after returning was go after the Abe Clan. And this wasn't some carefully planned military campaign where he intended to overthrow the leadership and establish himself as the new clan head.
The Abe had believed that killing Tsuyoshi would secure their future, but in reality, they had just created something infinitely worse. When Sukuna appeared, the clan initially struggled to understand what they were seeing. The man they had supposedly killed had returned as a nine-foot-tall, six-armed monster with dark skin, four eyes, and an almost incomprehensible amount of cursed energy (he’d seem like an other worldy being in all honesty).
Sukuna attacked without hesitation. The clan's warriors attempted to defend themselves, and its strongest sorcerers deployed everything they had but lets be honest…. Nothing could stop the destruction in his wake. The elders who had once ordered Tsuyoshi around were now completely helpless against him and Sukuna definitely showed absolutely no mercy.
It didn't matter whether someone had personally participated in the assassination or had simply belonged to the clan. As far as he was concerned, the entire family was responsible for what had happened to him. This was also one of the clearest signs that Tsuyoshi was truly gone, the old Tsuyoshi might have wanted answers and he might have confronted the people responsible and demanded to know why they betrayed him.
Sukuna didn't care about explanations anymore. He wanted them to just suffer then die. And eventually, he found Takeshi and Sukuna smiled but this time… it wasn’t out of love in the slightest
Takeshi immediately recognized his brother.
Even with the monstrous body, he knew It was indeed Tsuyoshi, this was probably a few years after Tsuyoshi’s death. And this was him or at least, what remained of him. For the first time, Takeshi was forced to confront the full consequences of his actions.
Instead, he had created a monster who was about to destroy everything he had worked for in one second and he couldn’t stop that storm. Takeshi fought back using Sanctum, attempting to restrain Sukuna and exploit whatever weaknesses he could find but it was hopeless. Even when they were human, Tsuyoshi had been stronger and now the difference between them was almost impossible to comprehend.
Sukuna utterly overwhelmed him and rather than simply killing him, he tortured him, slicing off each layer of his skin, broke him apart and he did hear Takeshi utter the words with his busted lips, “I- I’m so-”, but no he didn’t finish. This was because Sukuna using his second mouth devoured him whole and smiled all the way through, laughing at all the blood surrounding him. ( for the record Sukuna didn't inherit Sanctum from doing so, too broken to have both but I will say that he undergoes growth as a curse in this fight I guess).
Sukuna continued until the entire clan had been exterminated.
The fourth great clan of the Heian era was gone.
And the irony was that the Abe Clan had feared Tsuyoshi would eventually become a threat to them, despite him never showing any real desire to rebel. By attempting to prevent that possibility, they had caused it themselves (HA!).
Of course, Sukuna wasn't finished. The Abe Clan had been responsible for organizing his assassination, but they weren't the only ones involved. He remembered everyone who had participated in the Celestial Palace massacre.
Takako Uro's assassination group (Uro obviously survived because she died via fujiwara’s framing her)
What followed was a devastating campaign against the surviving conspirators. The same factions that had once gathered thousands of fighters to kill Tsuyoshi now found themselves being hunted by his vengeful incarnation.
However, unlike the Abe Clan. The Gojo, Zenin, and Kamo clans weren't completely exterminated and they survived, but they were left in terrible condition. I mean their strongest warriors had been killed, their leadership structures were devastated, and much of their political influence had collapsed and it would take generations for them to recover.vAnd the consequences extended far beyond the clans themselves because the entire balance of power within the jujutsu world had been shattered.
For years, the great clans had maintained their influence through military strength, inherited techniques, and political alliances. Now, a single cursed spirit had demonstrated that none of those things could protect them and the Heian era was about to become something much worse for the world ENTIRELY
Before Sukuna's resurrection, the Heian era was remembered as the golden age of jujutsu sorcery (because I mean it was). After all, tere was powerful sorcerers were everywhere, cursed techniques were flourishing, and the great clans were constantly competing for dominance. But after Sukuna returned, the situation changed dramatically. His rampages spread fear throughout Japan. Entire communities were terrified of the possibility that he might appear and sorcerers who had once confidently hunted curses were now facing something they could barely comprehend.
And because cursed spirits are born from negative human emotions, all that fear, hatred, and despair had consequences. More curses began appearing and existing curses grew increasingly dangerous (some reaching special grade tiers). The sheer amount of negative emotion spreading throughout society created an environment where cursed spirits could thrive. The golden age of jujutsu gradually transformed into a period dominated by curses and widespread destruction.
This era became known as The Feast of Curses.
Now, in canon, Sukuna is known as the King of Curses but I don't think that title would be enough for this version. Because unlike canon Sukuna, who is fundamentally a human sorcerer who later becomes a cursed object, this Sukuna is an actual vengeful cursed spirit. And not just any cursed spirit, either because he was so overwhelmingly powerful that even other special-grade curses were terrified of him.
Sukuna occasionally entertained himself by acting like a ruler among curses. He would give them orders, force them to carry out certain tasks, and sometimes establish temporary hierarchies simply because he could. But he wasn't particularly interested in maintaining some organized kingdom and he definitely didn't care about building a better society for curses. He wasn't fighting for their rights or trying to replace humanity with a new civilization. He just wanted to do whatever he pleased.
He wasn’t their god because he was some benevolent deity who protected them, but because his power was so overwhelming that resisting him was practically pointless. He had become a calamity. Something people feared in the same way they feared earthquakes, plagues, or natural disasters thus calling him “King of poisons” despite not really having much to do with it as they saw him as a bad omen. Except Sukuna was arguably worse, because unlike a natural disaster, he could choose where and when to strike and sometimes or who am I kidding, most of the time he destroyed things simply because he felt like it.
At some point, Sukuna stopped caring about whether the world learned anything from his actions. He simply wanted to enjoy himself and just keep killing and that's what he did along with his right hand Uraume who he kept around on a whim (I will expand a little on Uraume in her own section and a bit about her in the second half of the sukuna section where we discuss some of his abilities)
And that was when he encountered Kenjaku. Unlike most people who approached Sukuna, Kenjaku didn't immediately attempt to fight him or beg for his life (he quite literally approached with a smile). Instead, he offered him something interesting. That was a chance to experience another era.
Twenty cursed objects or should I say twenty fingers. They contain fragments of Sukuna's own vengeful spirit and each finger carries a portion of his cursed energy and spiritual essence, essentially preserving pieces of the God of Curses himself.
And this also changes the nature of the finger bearers. Rather than being ordinary cursed spirits that happen to be empowered by Sukuna's fingers, the finger bearers in this version are incomplete manifestations of Sukuna himself (they’re like eggs, some are still JUST fingers but some have accumulated so much CE, they manifest into miniature sukunas and you have to kill them to take it). They are pieces of his existence given form and while that doesn't necessarily mean every finger bearer possesses his full consciousness or personality, but they are fundamentally connected to him in a way that goes beyond simply absorbing his cursed energy.
But because the thought of wreaking havoc in another era sounded entertaining. And so, the God of Curses allowed his existence to be divided into twenty fingers.
His reign over the Heian era came to an end which technically saved the Heian era I guess (so thanks Kenjaku), humanity would’ve never recovered with Sukuna around.
Too much to put so I didn’t delve into Yorozu, Uraume and Sukuna’s interactions with Angel so there is more to discuss in Part 2 I suppose.
Can’t wait to say why I’m gonna love absolute Yuji and absolute Sukuna relationship…later.
So I saw this fun little prompt and wanted to throw my hat in the ring what do you guys think?
prompt: Use pre-existing characters within the JJK universe to recreate the ultimate sorcerer. Stipulation you cannot use the same character more than once.
Race: Cursed Womb Death Painting
Body Type: 4 armed freak (Heian Era Sukuna)
Bodily feature: Simurian 3rd Eye (useful asf)
CE reserves: Rika Okkotsu (vast reserves basically a uzumaki of the JJK universe)
CE output: Ryu of the Sendai Colony (highest output ever)
CE control: Kenjaku modern era (accumulated knowledge of control within different bodies)
Barrier proficiency: Tengen (Da best)
RCT proficiency: Gojo (also da best)
Cursed technique 1: Mythical Beast Amber
Cursed technique 2: Comedian
Cursed technique 3: Star Rage
(This combo would be my personal bread and butter just because I'm the type of person to laugh at their own jokes, I love meta-humor, and situational irony would make peel over. Even if they aren't funny to everyone else that would make it even funnier to me)
Cursed Tool: Playful Cloud
• Amplifies Raw Strength: It does not have any inherent cursed technique. Instead, it multiplies and scales the physical strength of the person wielding it.
• Requires Physical Prowess: Its effectiveness depends entirely on the user's base muscular power or physical stats rather than magic or cursed energy.
• Versatile Form: It is a three-section staff (sansetsukon) connected by rings. It can swing like a flail, strike like a rigid staff, or wrap around opponents.
Vow 1: The Beast Amber Contract
• While Beast Amber is active, my four arms become two, allowing RCT output and CE output to receive a 7x to 12x output spike specifically while laughing a genuine laugh physically or internally.
• Trade: Physical versatility (4→2 arms) for exponential output
• Activation Condition: Must be laughing authentic laugh internally or externally
• Synergy: RCT proficiency means the self-damage from overclocking is healed in real-time
• Personality Lock: Your natural affinity for situational/metahumor means this is nearly always active
Vow 2: The Blind Destroyer
• Simurian 3rd Eye must remain closed while using Playful Cloud to receive a 10x impact multiplier, separate from all other multipliers.
• Trade: Cosmic perception for pure physical force
• Thematic Layer: You paid for perfect sight, then blindfold yourself because it's funnier to win without it
• Stacking: 10x is separate from Beast Amber's 7-12x, meaning multiplicative potential
Note:- "🎯" signs are the markers for the Curse Technique. You can skip the story if you wish but I would suggest reading it for better clarity.
At the dock areas, a bulky man is waiting for a ship to come which will take him and his lover out of the country with their stolen money.
[The Man]: Tsk "That mf still hasn't come. I have already sent her to pick up the money if he doesn't come in time, we're done for."
Hears a sound from behind, turns around and sees a young man with White hair, white suit and goggles coming while talking on the phone.
[Souta]: "Moshi moshi, Can you hear me?? The signal is bad here. Btw Baldy-chan.... What? Yeah, you have already told me his features. But seriously who keeps his code name Mr. Banana. It's even worse than your "Bald Head" code name. Haa what was it? Eh?? Moshi Moshi, Moshi moshi. Did he hang up on me? Talk about rude."
Looks up and meets the eyes of the man ahead.
[Souta]: "umm, old man Do you know someone named Mr. Banana her—"
The Man, upon hearing the code name without beating an eye launches himself at our OC, with his fists clad in a rocky gauntlet.
Souta dodges the punch which creates a small crater in the ground.
[Souta]: "otto, Old man are you trying to break my leg or what? Are you perhaps that Mr. Banana? Thank God, now I don't have to go around looking for you in this stinky place."
[Mr. Banana]: "Who sent you here brat? Was it "Bald Head"? They are now sending a fledgling to hunt me? What a shame."
[Souta]: "You know that baldy? Well he said he works for somebody but..... Idk it's complicated. Now answer my one question, who tf chose this code name for you? Was it because you love Bananas or perhaps......" Souta looks towards his crotch "some defect maybe" Hollow chuckle
Mr. Banana's face turns red as a tomato.
[Mr. Banana]: "Hey brat, you have talked enough. Now give up every penny you have on you including your clothes then I might let you go with one or two broken limbs."
[Souta]: "Ara~ Did I catch a nerve? But you have mistaken old man, you're the prey here."
Souta takes out a coin from his pocket and starts rolling it between his fingers. Mr. Banana squints his eyes, wondering when he took the coin out or if it was always in his hand.
[Souta]: "You sure, you should focus on the coin?'
Mr. Banana's eyes go wide. He hurls himself on the ground and rolls to take cover when he notices a Gun in the hand of the man.
[Mr. Banana]: "When did you—"
He couldn't complete his sentence before souta came from behind and slit his throat with his dagger.
[Souta]: "Did you mean to say, "when did you take out the Gun"? Too bad, you aren't perceptive enough."
Souta ends with a slow chuckle. Mr. Banana places both hands on his neck, trying to stop the nonstop blood gushing out of the wound.
[Souta]: "You mean how I did that. Well normally that's a trade secret but since you're gonna die anyway, I will make an exception today. That's my Curse Technique "Perception" :-
🎯 We Humans are bound within our perception of this world. We only see what our brain shows us like... Have you heard of the Mona Lisa effect? It has nothing to do with "Mona Lisa" tho but people still call it that... Sheesh.. well back on topic, when you look at a flat painting which is painted looking straight ahead (at a 0-degree angle relative to the canvas), you see it moving its eyes according to your position like it is following your movements. Because the painting is flat, the visible parts of the eyes remain in the exact same position relative to the canvas no matter where you stand. So, Your brain tries to interpret the flat image in three dimensions, making it feel like the subject is turning their head or tracking your movement. Or When you see a mirage in the desert. Well I guess it must be going over your head. In short With my Curse Technique, I can bend your 'perception' as I wish.
Like when I pulled out the coin, I made sure that you were focused on my taunting. That's why you didn't notice it. Same for the 2nd time as well. You thought my power had something to do with the coin so you failed to notice me pulling the Gun out. It's the first application of my Curse Technique, I call it: 'shift' which ironically doesn't let you shift your attention from where I want it to be...."
Mr. Banana, eyes red with blood, losing the power to talk, looks at the dagger with wide eyes.
[Souta]: "ohh.. you mean the dagger.... Well bullets aren't free so I can't waste it on somebody who is going to die. 🎯 There came the 2nd application of my Curse Technique: 'Lock'
It locks your perspective on a single point until an external stimulus pulls you out of it. You will keep seeing the same thing even if the person or the thing has been moved from that point.
When you looked at the Gun you were sure I am gonna kill you with it but you failed to notice that you were looking at an outdated image. I had already moved behind you and points at the dagger and does a neck slitting sign.
Well That wraps it, I suppose I shall end your suffering now." Stabs him at the heart and ends his life.
A loud bang comes from behind and souta barely dodges the bullet which impacts the ground beside him. He hurls on the ground, rolls and gets back on his legs to see the shooter. It was a lady with a bag slung on one shoulder holding a pistol with shaky hands and tears falling down from her eyes to cheeks all the way to the ground.
He drops the dagger and gets his hands up and the lady starts screaming.
[The Lady]: "HOW DARE YOU BASTARD, I WILL F*CKING KILL YOUUUU!!!"
[Souta]: "Are perhaps his accomplice Ms. Apple pi..."
He couldn't complete his sentence before she fires again but because of her watery eyes and shaky hands it barely misses again.
[Souta]: "H-hey-y now..... I wouldn't be so hasty. You sure, you want to waste time on me when you can still save him?"
[Ms. Apple pie]: "LIAR!!! I SAW YOU...."
She took a quick glance at the body of her partner which was on the ground full of blood. She was about to shoot again, when the body suddenly and slowly extended his blood slicked hand towards her and asked for help. "S-save me-ee....."
"BANG!"
[Souta]: "You shouldn't have looked away from me..."
She got shot at the chest, right at the heart. while falling she looked at her and her partner's murderer, he had no expression on his face just a bit of pity behind his sickening eyes which he hid well enough not to be noticed easily and a Gun in his right hand. She then closed her eyes and with a thud fell on the ground.......
With a prolonged sigh he said. "well I guess I had to use the bullet after all."
"You see Mr. Banana looking at the corpse, 🎯 it was the 3rd application of my Curse Technique: 'Trick'. It's a trick, sometimes funny and sometimes..... a cruel joke. Looking at the corpse of the lady.
We Humans are way more intelligent than other species but we are also more susceptible to our emotions as well. Mainly when it's hope. Everyone tries to keep holding on the hope forever even if it means tricking their brain to think that. It's easy to show them what they want when they already have their backs on the wall." Sigh
Nudging the corpse of Mr. Banana, "I must be looking stupid talking with a corpse like that." A low chuckle
"Well I guess I should inform them..... He takes out his phone and dials a number." Someone picked up the call.
[Souta]: "Moshi Moshi, Baldy-chan I have dealt with that Mr. Banana and his accomplice." Someone talks from the other side. "Hmm, they had the money on them, I will be bringing that back shortly. You take care of the bodies." Someone again talks from the other side. "Yes both of them. What?? You're increasing my pay 3-folds. Ohh Baldy-chan, sorry, I made fun of your shaved head. You're a ray of sunshine. You got it? Your bald head reflects the sunlight, hahahah. Eh??? Moshi moshi, moshi moshi, Did he hang up on me again? I am still getting my extra pay, right?"
⚪ Note:- Tbh I think it can cringe but after thinking this through I decided to post it anyway. Hope you like it 🤧
Its in my native language, but i'll transcribe it dont worry
Anyway, the first combatant is a cursed spirit based on the "Aka Manto", the japanese folklore tale of a ghost that offers hiegenic paper. If you chose the blue paper he strangles you, if you pick the red paper he dismembers you.
The second combatant is my OC, he's a user of projection sorcery who sucks at using his own technique. Through binding vows he made thr 5-headed bird shikigami, it has no technique imbued
The third combatant is Ryuji, he uses a technique that summons chess pieces as shikigami. Along side him, the "knight" piece who wields an electric spear
