Ryomen Sukuna Power Tier: JJK’s King of Curses Fully Unleashed

Look. I’ve seen anime villains before. We all have. Mad scientists. Unhinged brothers with weird eye powers. That guy who turned his daughter into a dog (still not over it). But none—and I mean none—have the pure, unfiltered “I’m better than you and I know it” energy of Ryomen Sukuna.

I mean, they call him the King of Curses. Not “a duke.” Not “Count Grumpypants.” King. There’s a reason for that, and it ain’t just good branding.

A Cursed Origin Story (with blood, of course)

So, flashback time.

Long before Yuji Itadori got tricked into being a meat suit (more on that mess later), Ryomen Sukuna was already the worst dinner guest in history. Dude was tearing through sorcerers like me through a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos after 2 a.m.

Legend has it, he was human once. Sort of. That kind of sorcerer who made even other sorcerers go, “Y’know what, let’s not.”
When he died—wait, no, refused to die—his cursed energy basically fossilized into 20 fingers.

Twenty. Rotten. Gnarled. Power-packed. Fingers.

The idea was: split him up and hide the pieces. Classic horror movie logic. But like all great ideas from ancient times (leeches, bloodletting, powdered rhino horn), this one kinda… didn’t pan out.

Anyway, fast forward. Ryomen Sukuna gets finger-fed back to life. Gross? Absolutely. Terrifying? Oh, for sure.

So Where’s Sukuna on the Power Food Chain?

Short answer: top shelf. Like, above top shelf. Like, standing on the shelf, flipping off the other cursed spirits below.

JJK has this ranking system—Grade 4 up to Special Grade. Special Grade is where the freaks and walking nukes hang out.

But Ryomen Sukuna? He’s past that. He’s the reason Special Grade needs a bigger boat.

Let me paint a picture: Gojo, the guy with the blindfold and infinity hacks? He’s supposed to be untouchable. God-tier. The cheat code. And Sukuna still gave him hands.

I once tried to tier these guys on a sticky note. Sukuna needed his own row.

Here’s how the big names stack up:

Gojo Satoru: Infinity, Limitless, blue/gray/whatever eyes—he’s the guy.
Yuta Okkotsu: Possessed by a ghost girlfriend and a death stare.
Kenjaku: Body-hopping, cursed womb collector weirdo.
Ryomen Sukuna: Kills them, scares them, maybe kills them again for fun.

It’s like comparing a pro chef to a flamethrower. Yeah, the chef’s got skills. But the flamethrower’s making ash.

The Day Sukuna Got All 20 Fingers (AKA “Oops, the apocalypse”)

When Ryomen Sukuna finally eats all 20 fingers, he basically hits God Mode. You remember that moment in RPGs where you equip every legendary weapon and armor and go “let’s ruin a dungeon”? That, but with skyscrapers collapsing and people’s souls getting shredded.

Stuff that changes:

His cursed energy starts vibrating the air like a bass drop from hell.
His face changes. His attitude? Somehow even worse.
He pulls techniques out of nowhere. Like a magician, but one that hates you.

Once full-powered, Sukuna stops playing around. No more smirks. Just “You die now.”

That Domain Expansion… hoo boy.

Malevolent Shrine.

Just the name makes my spine tingle. And not in a good way. More like, “get me a priest and a bucket of sage” kind of way.

Most Jujutsu sorcerers trap you in a magical snow globe to land a hit. Not Sukuna. He rips open reality and says, “This whole 200-meter radius? Yeah, that’s mine now.”

And then you die.

No barriers. No escape. Just:

Cleave: Cuts based on your cursed energy.
Dismantle: Cuts everything else.
A third option? Fire. He casually whips out cursed fire. Surprise!

I swear he keeps a kill playlist in his head and just shuffles it for variety.

After Possessing Megumi—Y’all, It Got Worse

Okay, this one’s… weird. So Ryomen Sukuna, being the absolute menace he is, possesses Megumi Fushiguro. Remember the emo kid with the Ten Shadows? Yeah. Him.

Now Sukuna has his technique too. Meaning:

He can summon Mahoraga (the unkillable beyblade beast).
He fights using shadows, wolves, elephants—you name it.
And he does it better than Megumi ever could.

It’s like giving a flamethrower to a guy who already had laser eyes. Why?

The Sukuna vs. Gojo Fight: Welcome to Cursed WWE

You know how you wait like 200 chapters for a fight, and it actually delivers?

This was that.

Gojo brings Infinity. Sukuna brings every weapon in the cursed cookbook.

They:

Tear down buildings like they’re playing cursed Jenga.
Use domain stacking, barrier tricks, anti-domain hacks.
Break each other’s bodies and then fix them mid-punch.

Sukuna wins. Not because Gojo’s weak. But because Sukuna’s just meaner. He adapts, cheats, uses tricks, and never, ever stops.

I bit my lip through the whole thing. Partly from tension, partly from finishing a week-old bag of spicy Takis.

How Strong Is Sukuna Physically?

You want raw stats? Fine. Here’s a rundown:

Strength: Bench-presses elephants emotionally and physically.
Speed: Teleports, basically.
Healing: Reverse cursed technique, heals faster than my patience runs out watching filler episodes.
Stamina: Like that one raccoon in my trash—just. keeps. going.

One time, he literally got slashed in half and just… glued himself back together. Mid-fight.

Tell me that’s not nightmare fuel.

Peak Feats (Aka Sukuna’s “Greatest Hits” Album)

vs. Mahoraga

Mahoraga’s whole thing is adapting to whatever hurts it. So Ryomen Sukuna sets it on cursed fire. A technique no one knew he had.

He doesn’t just beat Mahoraga. He studies it. Like a sociopathic honors student prepping for a final.

vs. Jogo

Jogo’s like, “I’m strong!”
Sukuna’s like, “You’re toast.”
Literally. Burned. Roasted. Done.

It was like watching a microwave take on a toaster.

vs. Everyone in Shibuya

You know how most villains monologue?

Sukuna acts.

Slaughters cursed spirits. Floors special grades. Levels half the city. Stops to blink. Does it again.

He’s a one-man walking 9.0 earthquake.

Okay, But Does He Have Weaknesses?

Yeah. Kinda. Sorta. Maybe?

Let’s be real, Ryomen Sukuna is almost flawless. But he does have a few cracks:

Ego: Big. Like, skyscraper-sized. Might underestimate someone too long.
Body-sharing: When he was stuck in Yuji, he had limits. Small ones.
Fushiguro’s lingering will: Sometimes Megumi’s still in there somewhere, maybe waiting for a chance to fight back.
His mouth tattoo thing: Not a weakness. Just… weird.

So yeah, he’s not immortal. But close enough that you won’t be the one testing it.

Where’s It All Heading?

Jujutsu Kaisen is going full Final Boss mode. Sukuna’s on top. Gojo’s down. The streets are cursed.

Will Yuji finally pull something out of nowhere?

Will Yuta go Super Saiyan Sadboi?

No clue.

But one thing’s clear: Ryomen Sukuna isn’t just the King of Curses. He’s the Final Exam. The boss fight. The reason the rest of the cast wakes up screaming.
