Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami compared the taste of Sukuna’s fingers to soap. Would you eat them?
Jujutsu Kaisen follows the story of Yuji Itadori, a teenager who becomes a vessel to a powerful sorcerer named Ryomen Sukuna by eating one of the dark sorcerer’s fingers. To avoid execution, Itadori collaborates with the students and faculty of Jujutsu High to collect the rest of Sukuna’s fingers and exorcise the spirit once and for all. Let’s review: Jujutsu Kaisen is an anime about a boy who eats cursed fingers.
Speaking of eating cursed fingers, what would a cursed finger taste like? And not any cursed finger, a finger belonging to “The King of Curses” no less! Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), we’ll never get to eat one in real life. Therefore, the only tool available is speculation combined with knowledge gathered from JJK lore. Ryomen Sukuna Is One of JJK’s Most Depraved Characters
The first clue to understanding the taste of a particular meat is its source. Consider beef. Several factors affect beef’s taste, including what the cow eats, how much it travels from farm to farm in its lifetime, and the part of the cow slaughtered. The same logic applies to Sukuna’s fingers.
So, who is Ryomen Sukuna? In short, he was the most dangerous jujutsu sorcerer of the Heian era (794 CE to 1185 CE).
