by

This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen’s Final Arc.

Summary

  • Sukuna wields the power of Shrine, utilizing Cleave and Dismantle techniques to slice and chop effortlessly.
  • Dismantle, an invisible slash attack, is Sukuna’s most powerful ability, capable of killing anyone if fully charged.
  • Sukuna’s World Splitting Dismantle, inspired by Mahoraga, targets the entire world to bypass Gojo’s Infinity, leading to his victory.

In the tale of Jujutsu Kaisen, fans have witnessed numerous thrilling brawls throughout its run. However, the combat sequences presented during the Shinjuku Showdown stood out remarkably. It’s no wonder why; this is where the much-anticipated confrontation between Gojo Satoru and Sukuna unfolded, a clash that also marked their respective conclusions within the storyline. This arc was nothing short of chaotic from start to finish, offering a unique portrayal of Jujutsu techniques never before depicted in the narrative, resulting in a truly memorable spectacle.

It goes without saying that Gojo versus Sukuna was the most outstanding fight within this particular arc, offering fans an abundance of fresh and thrilling skills to behold. This battle proved incredibly challenging for Sukuna, but it also served as a catalyst for his growth into an even stronger being, leading him to develop new techniques like the World Splitting Dismantle – a formidable ability that stands out among Sukuna’s top talents, if not taking the crown as his best yet.

How Sukuna’s Cursed Technique Works

  • Sukuna Has The Power Of Shrine
  • The King Of Curses Can Cleave and Dismantle His Enemies With Ease

In the realm of Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna possesses one of the most potent abilities, which is known as the Shrine power. However, it’s not just about slicing and dicing as many might think. Instead, Sukuna’s cursed technique functions more like a kitchen, with him as the chef. This is why his primary abilities are Cleave and Dismantle. With Cleave, he acts like a chef wielding a knife, precisely chopping what he desires, while Dismantle involves disassembling everything necessary. However, despite their similar appearance, these techniques are fundamentally distinct. Essentially, Sukuna’s cursed technique can be summed up as the ability to chop and dice using Cleave and Dismantle.

I’ll chop up everything you hold dear and I’ll make you watch before I kill you too! — Sukuna

With the force of Cleave, Sukuna is capable of showering foes with swift, slashing blows. The effectiveness of this ability hinges on both the resistance of the target and the amount of dark energy channeled for the attack’s discharge. However, a significant drawback of Cleave is that it necessitates direct contact with the enemy; this rule can be bypassed when used within a domain. Cleave is an impressive move, capable of instantly incapacitating an opponent as demonstrated in the Ryu Ishigori fight, but many sorcerers have managed to endure it, including Gojo and Yuji on various occasions. It’s also worth noting that Cleave isn’t limited to living beings; it can be utilized to pulverize inanimate objects by employing techniques like Spiderweb, among others.

In my excitement as a fan, I’d like to share some insights about Sukuna’s formidable cursed technique, Dismantle. Essentially, this is a devastating slash that, once a specific hand gesture is made, swiftly and easily disintegrates its target. This technique has an extraordinary reach, capable of affecting virtually anything in our Jujutsu Kaisen world, even inorganic matter. The power of Dismantle can be significantly increased by channeling more cursed energy. At maximum potency, it’s lethal to any being within the Jujutsu Kaisen realm. Countering Dismantle requires strategic maneuvers like Domain Amplification, Simple Domain, high-level healing, or reinforcing one’s body with cursed energy.

What sets Dismantle apart is its stealthiness – it’s invisible, making it appear from any direction. Mastery of this technique demands intense focus to evade being struck. It’s through Dismantle that Sukuna wields an even more potent version, the World Splitting Dismantle.

Besides Divine Flame, Sukuna possesses other skills in his repertoire. This particular ability can be likened to a fire arrow that prepares food when specific conditions are fulfilled (which makes it clear why Sukuna’s cursed technique is more of a kitchen than merely a cutting tool). However, we’re not focusing on that aspect today.

Sukuna And Mahoraga: How The Shikigami Gave Sukuna The World-Splitting Dismantle

Mahoraga Gave Sukuna The Blue Print For The Slash That Cuts The World

During the thrilling Shinjuku Showdown arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, I found myself unexpectedly hosting the formidable Sukuna! This transformation occurred during the Culling Game arc. Once Megumi Fushiguro, that’s me, underwent the ritualistic blessing, I couldn’t resist Sukuna’s iron grip, making every technique at my disposal readily available for him to wield.

Of course, his most potent ability, Mahoraga, was no exception. It was particularly unleashed during his epic battle against Gojo Satoru. In fact, it was the Ten Shadows Technique that became the deciding factor in their fierce confrontation, resulting in a bitter defeat for Gojo’s supporters.

Farewell, Gojo Satoru! I shall never forget you for as long as I live! — Sukuna

In summary, Sukuna utilized the might of Dismantle more profoundly, having meticulously observed Mahoraga. During the fight, Sukuna closely monitored Mahoraga, waiting for it to adjust to Gojo’s Infinity. After the second adaptation occurred, Sukuna discovered the strategy he required and recognized that he could essentially broaden the scope of his attack. This means that Sukuna typically set the target on Gojo during the battle, which is why he was continually thwarted by Infinity, a constant defense mechanism. However, when Sukuna enlarged the target to encompass everything in the world, including space and existence itself, both Gojo and his Infinity became targets. By harnessing this power, Sukuna managed to circumvent the Infinity and divide Gojo into two parts, conclusively ending the battle against the strongest.

Absolutely, employing this attack wasn’t without its consequences. To execute the maneuver, Sukuna necessitated two hands, however due to his previous encounter with Hollow Purple, he had already lost one. Consequently, he was compelled to swear a vow upon himself. This vow allowed him to utilize the technique with just one hand, but it also meant that he’d always need to make a particular gesture, utter a specific spell, and draw the path of the attack using the palm of his remaining hand. Each time Sukuna invoked the World Splitting Dismantle, he was obliged to comply with all three conditions because that is how Binding Vows function fundamentally.

Without a doubt, Sukuna’s technique, which is arguably his most potent, played a crucial role in his triumph over Gojo. In the absence of Mahoraga and the Ten Shadows Technique, the result could have been dramatically different since both sorcerers were equally matched until the very last moments, a fact that was evident to viewers throughout the battle.

At long last, the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, numbered as JJK 271, was published on September 29, 2024. For enthusiasts, the series can be found on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump mobile applications.
