He didn''t reveal his technique because doing so makes it stronger and he was trying to give Jogo the best chance.

Nick kept saying Hakari I was like “what did I miss” 🤣

Gojo only has one cursed technique. Limitless just has mutliple ways it can be used. At base neutral (infinity barrier) and blue (the ability to pull things). Red is just blue but with reversed cursed energy(positive energy) instead of regular cursed energy, so instead of pulling it pushes. Purple is just blye and red at the same time. The six eyes aren't a technique but a biological ability certain people in his family have.

One theory I heard about Sukuna’s abilities that I think you really should have mentioned is the theory that Sukuna’s power allows him to have power over Naraka, the Vedic Hell Realms. Because each of the punishments in these hell realms, hold a striking amount of similarities to certain abilities Sukuna has displayed. For example, there’s a hell in which you’re boiled alive in a giant pot, there’s a hell realm where you’re repeatedly slashed and cleaved by knives and TRIDENTS, there’s a hell in which fire raining from the sky repeatedly strikes people, which could possibly be a metaphor for LIGHTNING which Sukuna is shown capable of manipulating in his fight against Kashmo and etcetera. This theory could even explain his ability to manipulate souls. And there’s ANOTHER hell realm that I think is quite interesting that could relate to what one of Sukuna’s future abilities could be, which is the “Blue Lotus Hell” in which people who go to this hell, end up getting frozen so bad that their skin peels off and forms a lotus. So if Sukuna begins displaying a new ice ability sometime soon, then I’m just saying that I’m calling it🤷

One thing I've been considering is from the fact that Sukuna said "You don't know about it? Well, I guess a cursed spirit wouldn't know." to Jogo. This implies that the technique he was using to make fire was something that sorcerers should know about, and in other words is something that other sorcerers could potentially do. I think he might have some way of breaking himself out of the restrictions of only being able to use his own in-born cursed technique, overcoming the absolute limitation of one's birth in Jujutsu. Also the way he says "Open" each time implies that he needs to "release" the ability to use fire, meaning it's not part of his innate technique. Otherwise he would just sling fire and slashes freely at any time.

Technically, Hollow Purple, Red, and Blue are all part of the Limitless technique, same as Infinity.

I got scared when bro said Hakari but he meant Kashimo, thought I missed a chapter somehow

Turns out, its actually cooking.

Gojo doesn't have multiple cursed techniques. Blue, Red, purple, and infinity are just different variations of limitless. Six eyes also isn't a cursed technique, it just boosts cursed energy control into the stratosphere.

I think Sukuna's technique is steps in a ritual/sacrifice. Cleave and dismantle are both parts of preparing a sacrifice(ie food), and the fire could be the burning/sending of the offerings to the heavens, and is also that he has to say that black box thing whenever he calls on fire: he is completing the ritual, and burning it. But the technique is incomplete, so there still could be more to it. This is backed up by how his domain is literally a shrine, but with skulls around it, possibly indicating the people he kill/"sacrificed".

My guy didnt actually expect to be cooking.

Damn two minutes in and already two corrections: -All of Gojos techniques fall under limitless. Blue, red, and purple are just different forms of the same thing. The 6 eyes isn’t a technique, it’s more of a super OP divine feature. Hence why he can’t just turn it off. - Sukuna didn’t reveal his technique because in universe you get a power increase by doing so. Clever writing by Gege honestly. Edit: 5 and a half minutes and another relatively minor inaccuracy, - Dismantle, from what I understand, is the basic attack that does damage. It can attack things with cursed energy. Cleave is just better because it adjusts itself (or can be adjusted) to an opponents durability and cursed energy level.

Another thing that supports Sukuna potentially having poison is Yuji having poison resistance in the fight against the two cursed wombs. The one where the iconic line “if it’s just pain, Yuji Itadori won’t stop” came from. Nobara also called Sukuna, “the god of death and poisons”, in the dub.

It's interesting that Sukuna seemingly has to open some kind of seal whenever he uses his fire attribute. I think that's the best clue about his true abilities that we currently have.

I saw Sukuna not explaining his technique to Jogo as him not "revealing his hand" to unfairly strengthen it. I believe this was mentioned in the hidden inventory arc

I mean Yuta and Kenjaku have multiple cursed techniques, Gojo only has one his application of it gives him versatility. While consumption is definitely a fitting technique for Sukuna I think it might be understanding. Cleave and dismantle maybe serve as appliances of him taking apart someone's technique so he can fully utilize his cursed energy to beat them at their own game. Thematically I think it'd be interesting.

I'm not convinced that his cursed technique is cooking, but I do think it has something to do with consumption. In the official JJK fanbook it is mentioned that Sakuna's favorite thing to do it to eat, and it also mentioned that he likes to eat people and that Urame is his personal chef. There was also a theory that I heard that Sakuna had a twin that he ate, which both completed him, similar to Maki and Mai, and is the reason he had two sets of some body parts.

SUKUNA SHOULD GO ON MASTERCHEF

You think his Curse techniques is 'King' The ability to use the techniques of other curses

There is something special about how Sukuna is killing people as well. All of the kills against strong opponents: Gojo, Jogo, and Kashimo; habe been "offscreen" which we have only seen replicated by Gojo when he used Hollow Purple on Toji. This could just be a weird coincidence, but I believe there is something more to it

"Black Square" being opened might not even relate directly to his curse technique. It may be something similar to Domain amplification. Because what stands out to me is when Sukuna is fighting Jogo and he pulls out the fire, the expression that Sukuna gives to jogos own confusion is basically being shocked. With him stating something along the lines of 'That's right. I thought you would know about this' so for some reason Sukuna half expected Jogo to know what he was doing. So perhaps whatever he did was actually common back in the past. Perhaps a lost art that is shunned by jujutsu high and been long since forgotten to time. The other thought may be he might just have expected Jogo to know his technique because Jogo is working with Kenjaku, but that thought falls apart because the next line is 'I suppose a cursed spirit wouldnt'. Which leads me to think of techniques likes Domain amplification, The disaster curses had to be taught that technique because they never considered something like that existing. It is fully possible "black Square" falls into this territory as well. Perhaps it being fire is directly related to Sukuna, and that each person who uses the technique gets different results based on their soul or something, or what i think is more likely its a technique that has a fully pliable nature.

-To be fair, we've seen Sukuna use flames the second time he appeared, the first special grade, after Sukuna used Malevolent Shrine after cutting the cursed spirit he burned it.- Okay nevermind, completely forgot that it happened when Megumi killed a similar curse.

His domain is malevolent shrine, shrines are place of worship but inside the shrine are mouths and a bunch of skeletons(presumably eaten people). Wouldnt this mean Malevolent Shrine is a place worshipping consumption? Cutting and dismantling things sounds normal if you’re going to eat something. Supposedly Sukuna in real life was a cannibal, so I think it’s definitely consumption and maybe being a vessel for multiple techniques. It’s also super interesting as we keep finding out more about Yuji’s growth with his technique and powers, that Yuji states “to kill him, I’ll eat anything”. I dont think thats a coincidence

His technique is Masterchef. Main dish half'n half Gojo

This aged like milk, Sukuna's CT is cooking and his "black box" is literally just a stove lol

I think instead of being the true disaster curse, he's just an upgraded version, like how hanami is the fear of nature, jogo is the fear of fire, etc. Sukuna is simply fear of death. Moreover, jogo has every ability to eliminate someone using anything fire based, hanami has every ability to defeat someone with nature, sukuna has the ability to eliminate someone using any means of death. Cutting, fire, poison, blunt force trauma, decapitation, falling, plague, etc.

It would be so cool to see one of these characters, like Sukuna or Aizen, who are extremely powerful and intelligent, be lying about their actual powers throughout the work. Just, every so often something their powers do is out of step with what they've told people, and the protags and audience are both racing to figure out what the real ability set is. Like how Aizen had convinced the SeiReiTei that his Zanpakuto was water-based, but keep the real ability behind veneers of making it look like something else. Have a villain that really keeps a holdout, with the kind of writing caliber that drives Demon Slayer and Jujutsu.

sukana in the food wars universe tho

Michizane Sugawara is the ancestor of Yuta. It is possible that the copy technique is a genetic one. The real life Sugawara also has a shrine that looks identical to Sukuna's malevolant shrine. We also now know Sukuna was somewhat of nobility. I believe Sukuna is related to Sugawara and therefore also related to Yuta both bearing the copy technique. Sukuna probably has more expertise or potential with the techniques he copies even being able to learn the domain. Maybe Yuta will be able to learn domains aswell if they share the same technique.

Sukuna definitely has some poison related ability, he’s literally called the king of curses and deadly poisons. His fingers are poisonous and yuji gets resistance to poisons cause of him.

1.Gojo doesn't have multiple techniques 2. Sukuna didn't explain his technique because of the binding vow on it and he wanted to give jogo a fair fight 2. Cleave and dismantle is CT and can't just be cursed energy alone. It was applied to his domain expansion 4.Cooking would make more sense than the soul. While I don't think it is cooking your reasoning for it not to be cooking didn't really make sense. 5.the video was really cool 👍🏾

His cursed technique is master chef. Calamity manipulation is pretty cool too.

I believe he may have the ability to learn..... Not just learn but the ability to understand cursed techniques and then to do them. With his vast pool of cursed energy, he just needs to learn and copy or evolve it to make it his own. The only techniques he can not do, like 6 eyes, is because they are passed down through bloodlines. Which also gives a reason why he manipulated his body to the form it is so as to offset the techniques he could not learn. If you want six eyes but can't use it then give yourself more eyes.....

Lmao, you completely confused Hakari with Kashimo. Also, the legend of the real world Ryomen Sukuna might be very important to his actual technique. We've seen sukuna use piercing blood with the water created by max elephant, so he's capable of imitating other techniques just by his knowledge of cursed energy

im still gonna go with the fact its a kitchen, cutting, fire and poison all can relate back to the kitchen and sukuna being a cannibal would make sense that his curse technique would manifest as a way to prep his food. as for the poisoning aspect, it simple goes to the fact that there are a lot of deadly ingredients in the world. food poisoning is also a thing and people usually poisons food to kill someone. but again that is just my guess. also one of the anime translations for his domain is malevolent kitchen (but that might just be a miss translation but could also be a hint)

Saying jogo is almost half as strong as sukuna is in my opinion a stretch. I personally believe that each finger adds the strength but also add some bonus strength to sukuna or if we high ball him it might even be exponential growth. Also it was getos estimation, geto might not understand the level of power sukuna can produce

Honestly, my guess is Sukuna's main power (outside of his insane cursed energy) is something along the lines of copycat as well as also being able to learn pretty much any technique. So far has shown that he can copy Jogo's fire, lightning attack and summon Mahoraga. What stands out is that he does not immediately use these "copycat" moves until like mid battle or nearing the end. I understand that he is only able to summon Maho due to taking over Megumi's body but all of which took time to manifest.

On the topic of Gojo and his “multiple” cursed techniques, red and blue are different applications of the same technique. Blue is the normal application, the limitless is similar to how Megumi can move through shadows, and red is him using the technique charged with reversed cursed energy instead of normal CE.

Can we talk about how he was actually right about the cooking analogy ???

you calling kashimo hakari was killing me lol

Was sakuna's fire a curse based fire, like forming cursed energy into fire? Jogo's fire looked similar to real fire, as he is the human fear of fire and volcanoes. But they definitely didn't look like the same kind of fire when animated.

I think that everybody is thinking about cursed techniques in the wrong way. Cursed techniques are probably somehow tied to the soul and because the soul and your body are also linked there might be a way to add a technique by altering (tattooing) your body. I think Sukuna's ability has to do with soul awareness and that is probably also why yuji has the memory moments with his opponents. That could also be why he is only "showing" his technique to people he respects and already killed

i have just one note about the fire sukuna used and kashimo... kashimo's lightning stuff is just his cursed energy, not his technique,,, so i wonder if it's possible to just give your energy elemental properties, and that's how sukuna used fire...

Nicks curse technique : click bait Ability Description: Even though Nick will not know the answer he will post a video title alluding that he does. Viewers will continually click on these cursed links but will find no real answers.

I've only watched the anime but Sukuna is directly referred to as the god of poisons by one of the characters. Also before Yuji eats the first finger and after he did, it was mentioned that the finger was poisonous. As for his curse ability I'd say it's understanding or enlightenment. He was a human who transformed, transcended into a curse spirit either through his own will or fussing with a curse spirit as a human and gained full understanding of curse energy. Sukuna said something in I think the first season that nobody truly understands what cursed energy actually is. Basically he understands cursed energy on a fundamental level and can basically manifest whatever he wants.

What about Rikka/Yutta ability to "copy/imitate" curse techniques? It's somewhat similar in the fact of using/copying another user technique. We have seen both *Sukuna and Rikka/Yutta* use another sorcerer's technique while fighting the sorcerer itself or afterwards (Sukuna vs Jogo and Rikka/Yutta vs Geto)... and to top it up, we don't know how either of them actually work or what is their limit with such ability.

As into the poison part. I thought Sukana's title, "The king of curses and deadly poison." See the episode and manga chapter where Itadori and Nobara fight the brothers

What if Sukana doesn't have an Innate Technique and is using an advanced application/technique reversal of barrier techniques to split his enemies in half? Dismantle is a "normal" barrier and Cleave is a barrier imbued with cursed energy. His Domain Expansion doesn't use a barrier because thats what hes using to attack with. He makes fire by turning the air into plasma through the cavitations created by splitting the air itself. He doesn't explain his technique because its something someone with enough cursed energy could also do.

I reckon Sukuna can use any cursed technique that isn't tied to a genetic factor so for instance limitless, ten Shaddows, blood convergence he would need to possess a user of it but anything else he could probably just do after seeing it or practicing it once or twice as he is the king of cursed energy it would make sense that unless there had to be some sort or specific requirements met to perform the technique then he can do it so he could use todos ability or any other sorcerers ability that isn't passed down through a specific bloodline as long as he's seen it or can conceive the ability in his head I also believe he probably has more than one domain expansion as well

Would be soooo cool to see SUKUNA actually be able to seal souls inside his domain and access their soul abilities memories and maybe even summon them for a small time, would be cool to see SUKUNA summon the soul of GOJO to fight for him or use his abilities while holding onto the skull

On crunchyroll in Canada episode 41, malevolent shrine was subbed as malevolent kitchen. Cleave and dismantle were fillet and dismember. This with the dialogue of sukuna talking about taste, calling gojo a fish on his cutting board, biting angel, saying people have their own distinct flavors. I think it's pretty obvious his CT is cooking. The only thing left to ponder is does he gain anything from eating? Or does he just enjoy it.

WAIT MALEVOLENT KITCHEN MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW HOLD UP

something interesting to add on: the black box, as stated by kusakabe, is the part of the brain that is responsible for cursed techniques. sukuna said it was around the right prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for negative emotions. kenjaku entirely replaces the brain of a sorcerer and gains the techniques from the body, which directly contradicts the first point 😂

I think another reason people think Sukuna has poison powers is because... Kugisaki calls him "the king of curses and deadly poisons". And Sukuna being within Yuji is the explanation for why Yuji is immune to poison.

I was personally figuring that his technique is, in fact, cutting and he's able to cut even to the molecular or atomic level such that he's not actually using fire but instead managing to generate something like plasma.

I think the 2nd to last theory was correct: Sukuna was such an awful person who delighted in the destruction he caused when he was alive, he reincarnated as an Asura when he became a Cursed Spirit. It's all there; the delight in destruction, the Dharma wheel, the fiery arrows, the fact that his Doman is a MALEVOLENT SHRINE. He is, to a T, a Buddhist Demon from Naraka, and his cursed technique is simply "Destruction." If it's used to destroy, if it's a tool of a Asura, Sukuna can use it, and that's why his main techniques are simply "Cleave" and "Dismantle," which are functionally the same ability just used on different things, and what it does is bisect whatever it hits. No quicker way to destroy something than to cut it in half.

Makes me think about the theory where Sukana is a conjoined twin and maybe that means he gets access to multiple abilities. Kinda like a multiplicative bonus rather than additive.

The soul manip idea is interesting but also weird… for example, mahito’s ability is soul manipulation, which would be a weird thing for both of them to have. However at the same time, it explains the manga panel where Yuji and Kusakabe are (supposedly) in each others bodies. And would be a thematic correlation between Yuji’s “first” and “last” enemy.

Crunchyroll just changed the name from “Malevolent Kitchen” back to “Malevolent Shrine” 1 day later. Was this a purposefully hidden way the Animators and Editors proved that they don’t get enough time to properly review the episodes before releasing?

That recent episode translation might’ve confirmed Sukuna the Hibachi King lol

They call his DE Malevolent Kitchen in the sub for his fight with Mahoraga, he has been called a Cannibal as well. Getting CTs from people he eats no, but the whole Cleave, Dismantle and Fire abilities fit a kitchen, a chief so yes he most definitely is a chief and his CT reflects that.

Perhaps Sukana can steal “abilities” from others and the rings around his wrists denote abilities he has stolen.

"Malevolent Kitchen" getting some more justification lol

Explaining ones curse technique makes it stronger. That’s why Sukuna didn’t tell his technique to Jogo to make it as weak as possible.

It’s already established Sukuna can learn really quick just by watching. What’s to say he didn’t just learn the arrow from Jogo?

Gogo only has 1 cursed technique. He just uses positive and negative energy to create abilities from his limitless CT. You can have a CT but its up to the user to be creative with it.

Random theory alert: What if sukuna is the disaster born out of the most primitive fear of humans i.e. DEATH Being from an era where people predominantly used swords, his most used and favourite "technique" is slices, plain and simple. But that does not mean he lacks variety. It's just that he's not used to that. Then every fight up until now could be explained from the fact that sukuna kills or nullifies the opponent with the same thing that they have (jogo - fire , gojo - space manipulation, kasimo - lightning invulnerability) He's a written cheat in the manga to justify Gege's obsession with unparalleled strength and the story's thematic ties to death and fear.

My theory is that the Translation of "Malevolent Shrine" is kind of misleading since I've heard it better translates to "Demon Realm Malevolent Kitchen/Chef" Or something similar. Keywords on Demon, Chef/Kitchen and Malevolent. So... given his cursed technique names... His technique seems to be cooking techniques. Chop... Cleave... and finally... well... the missing one is likely Cook. It's likely that's where the fire comes from. He likely says Open Because the Technique is likely under a binding vow of some sort that limits him as to how he can use it (Which would also explain why he said cursed spirits wouldn't know, since they practically never undertake binding vows.) Given the fact that he's notorious for being a canabal as well... It might be that he gains something from eating others depending on how they are prepared and cooked... Hence his fairly high respect for one of the few people talented at the art. And yes, if you translate it fairly brutally, his Domain Expansion can be translated to mean "Hell's Kitchen"

I have a feeling that his curse technique is going to have something to do with space or reality somehow. That or something to do with alchemy. For some reason the way that he cuts people has always made me think that. The perfectly straight, level cuts that he always uses. It's never just a normal slash, like with a sword or knife.

Gojo does in fact have two cursed techniques. Six eyes is just translated funky because it was important for hidden inventory to make sure people knew he couldnt turn it off. It gets called inherited gift and inherited talent and inherited jujutsu instead of inherited technique, but it is very much an inherited ability of the gojo family.

NO WAY. TODAY'S SUB EP TRANSLATES SUKUNA'S DOMAIN INTO "Malevolent Kitchen" INSTEAD OF SHRINE. Dude this is actual hype.

I think you just didn’t interpret anything correctly, he didn’t reveal his technique cause it’ll strengthen it hence in the anime he says, “I won’t do something petty and reveal my technique”. In the Manga he just says he won’t cheat and reveal my technique. He also fought Kashimo not Hakari. He was able to use fire or Jogos technique because he knows how to “copy” after seeing how it works. He explains this in the Manga when he’s fighting Gojo. Of course there are limits but he even used a rendition of Blood manipulation with water around them because he saw it once and understood the basics of how the curse technique works. The limits might just be he can’t copy an innate ability like six eyes and something like Limitless as it takes a more complicated approach to master.

My theory is sukuna doesnt actually have a cursed technique, his understanding of cursed energy and how to manipulate it allows him to use it the way he does

Sukona in his fight with Jogo asked him about whether he didn't know the Fire Arrow, as in his time it was known. Like a technique that can be learned. Write me if I'm wrong

Honestly, even as a manga reader, I wasn’t even thinking about that finger consumption panel. Granted I read that chapter over a year ago, I will say that I salute you for that theory. That’s one that I actually haven’t seen, even after watching multiple JJK KZfaqrs have theories about Sukuna. It will all somehow be connected to his “black box” ability/technique. It’s most likely a reference to Gege’s previous story where the MC has a box full of weapons, so it’s somewhat possible that Sukuna is able to use the abilities of those whose souls he has touched, at the very least, cursed spirits or elemental cursed techniques, as other CT’s evolve from some base ones. Which would also somewhat explain why Kenjaku didn’t see the hype behind Yuta, or it could be that sense Kenjaku knows Yuta’s CT and Yuta as a fighter, he already has a plan of countering him

Nick's least favorite theory just got bolstered in the latest episode of JJK as of 11/16

How does this man read this much JJk and not realize that Gojo only has one CT?

so basically you are saying he is fear itself. anything one fears, he manifests

I also highly agree with the one where sukuna has a CT or cursed tool in his tattoos but i think he seals them and not eats them. I think that the black boxes arent individual techniques but all one which is the fire arrow. Because, if you look closley the shapes that the tattoos on his chest and shoulders make is sort of a bow like shape and the one on his forehead is the spear he uses and the slash on his nose is the dagger weapon he used in the previous chapters. And in the heian era those two tattoos were not there but now that he doesnt have those weapons they are. But when he summons the weapons or the CT the mark doesn’t disappear but rather “opens”. And I do think that there is a drawback to opening these marks to get CT or weapons because he used it three times in the show, to get the fire arrow against jogo, a second time using it against mahoraga and to get the dagger.

imagine sukuna's technique is cooking and yuuji's is eating 💀💀💀

my theory on sukuna himself is that he is a conjoined twin explaining the four arms 2 faces (2 eyes for one and 2 for the other) and 2 mouths. In this case i think that sukuna cut the opponents and his twin ate it using the mouth on his belly, like the cooking theory. When they were killed and split into 20 fingers, ten for sukunas soul and ten for his twins. But i do think that his twin wasnt able to come back because itadori is the last finger that sukuna didnt eat and that finger had the twins soul in it. Therefore, i think that kenjaku put that soul or finger in itadori when kenjaku was pregnant with yuji and sukunas twin was incarnated in itadori with no memory. I think that due to the twin losing his memory sukuna did too and doesnt remember his brother or he hates him and doesnt bring hik up. I also think his twin was able to use fire to help cook his food and the ten fingers jogo fed itadori, some of them probably were from the twin and he was able to use his twins abilities because his soul wasnt there anymore. I also think it might have been temporary and he lost the ability because his brother is no longer alive and is apart of yuji. Which would have been why he never used it again.

I am back post episode today to read all the Kitchen Believer comments after MAPPA was accidentally left alone to cook

It feels obvious to me but maybe I am wrong, but I definitely believe Sukuna's ability has to involve copying other people's techniques. Think about it: - He manages to touch Mahito's soul and harm it after Mahito attempted to do the same to Yuji and, thus, effectively, Sukuna. - He managed to manipulate fire in a similar way to Jogo at the end of their fight. - A ton of context clues indicate this too. For example, he seemingly immediately understands Mahoraga's technique the minute its first employed, despite it being such a unique technique. Hes also studying the cell phone after that girl tried to use it on him, as if he's attempting to figure it out. Also, big SPOILER: He managed to somehow slice through infinity after witnessing Mohoraga adapt to it. It feels to me as if Sukuna simply copied Mahoraga's adaptation throughout his fight with Gojo, learned to adapt to infinity via watching Mahoraga do it, and then did it to surprise an overconfident Gojo with a slice. It feels obvious to me, as if Sukuna needs to fight or witness a fight for a certain amount of time before he can copy another's technique. And maybe innate techniques you're born with are excused from this rule, hence why he had to possess Megumi in the first place.

If today’s episode is anything to go off of, that chef theory looking reallllll valid rn😭😭😭

***Spoiler** I think we can make an argument for sukana having multiple techniques. I think we even have evidence. If we look at the two times mahoraga was summoned, do once against gojo, once against sukuna... Against gojo we see mahoraga adapting to the entire limitless technique. Mahoraga could adapt to blue, as well as red (probably also purple if the fight continued) just by adapting to unlimited void. Once adapted to infinity blue became weaker, red became weaker and weaker after fully adapting to blue, we can conclude the same can be said for unlimited void as well as purple... Now if we look at sukana Vs mahoraga, mahoraga only adapts to the slashing, even though the weel keeps spinning, he keeps adapting to the slashing techniques, then when sukana used his pyrokenetic abilities mahoraga was defeated in one shot This is my interpretation please feel free to criticise

My theory is that Sukuna's CT is the Black Box itself, but with limitations placed upon it via binding vows, so that the main things that he actually uses it for are strengthened in exchange for the loss of functionality. The "Black Box" as a CT would be the ability to manipulate CE to have the properties that he chooses. For eg. He could manipulate the shape of CE to form a blade (similar to what you said at 5:48) and reinforce it by increasing it's density. Dismantle is essentially the same thing as cleave fundamentally, but it being weaker may be caused by yet another binding vow, with this binding vow potentially strengthening Cleave even more. As for the flame arrow, that's pretty self explanatory. By manipulating the properties of cursed energy, he can turn it into fire and further manipulate it's shape, after that he can propel it forward with whatever amount of speed and force that he chooses to do so with. The "loss of functionality" that I referred to before would be that maybe he can only do these three things with the Black Box. The Black Box CT would allow him to do *A LOT,* therefore, a lot would be lost via this binding vow, and because of how binding vows work, the more you lose, the more you gain. He may potentially be able to do more things with this (hypothetical) CT, but this all still remains applicable either way. There's also a chance that his CT is the Black Box without any limitations, and that he's just manually restricting himself for... Entertainment(?), but I think that that probably isn't the case. Also, on top of the increased strength for the things that he uses the Black Box for, him being able to simply use them the same way that one can use CTs (via an incantation) could also be thanks to this binding vow.

Sukana whats your technique? Sukana: cheffing you up.

You saying Hikari instead of Kashimo had me SCOURING the internet for chapter 247 raw scans 😂😂😂😂

👏🏾 gr8 point at the end mate & about the foreshadowing for Gojo's death 😮 #LLGojo

Gojo doesnt have multiple cursed techniques they are just different applications of limitless. Neutral > Limitless on its own just stopping things Negative > Blue, force of attraction Positive > Red, force of repulsion Purple > Combination of the impossibilty of Red (repulsion) and Blue (attraction) at an atomic level that breaks physics itself

“Anime only watchers lalala… *wrong person*” I lost my shit lmao

Though it's not really what I believe, I do have one little bit of support for Cookuna: "Survival of the fittest", which pretty much encapsulates Sukuna's philosophy, is translated to "Jakuniku kyoshoku" in Japanese, which essentially means "Meat of the weak, meal of the strong". What better way to embody that than literally cooking and eating the weak?

It’s funny. I don’t remember when or where I might’ve heard of Sukuna described as a calamity, but after the last episode, that’s the word that popped into my head.

What if his technique is reflect. Or copy. In the anime when fighting Jogo, Jogo sorrounds the room with Lava and Sukuna has a manazone/ Gojo like barrier around him where lava seems to be pushed away. It could be Sukuna using cursed energy to push lava away, but and it kinda makes sense because he wouldnt use his cursed technique for someone so small. However, it may just be his ability

I think the natural calamity makes the most since but I also think it could be cooking because on crunchy roll in the fight vs mahoraga instead of his domain expansion being called malevolent shrine the subs say “malevolent kitchen”. But it could also just be a translation error

My theory is that instead of sukuna gaining power as a cursed spirit from the fear of natural disasters/calamities, he get his strength or his inherent infamy from being the embodiment of war or violence. I think between the ability to manipulate fire (the most destructive element) with a distinct mastery over it, a mastery over numerous weapons, and just having his usual go to technique in fights being basic slashing attacks, he's essentially the god of war in JJK, not limited to being able to cut through or destroy space and time itself, as seen in the fight with Gojo.

to comeback to the video of what sukanas cursed technique was maybe cooking. In the newest episode of JJK when sukana used his domain instead of Malevolent Shrine it said in the subtitles Malevolent Kitchen(on cruncyroll). i find it preety funny that it said that with the theory that sukanas cursed technique was cooking.

Had to let ya know, seem ya was right, called his domain expansion Malevolent Kitchen 🔪🔥

I always theorized that sukuna was a Clamity Spirit of War, Conflict &/or Conquest due to him being an infamous invincible warrior sitting on the throne of bones. I mean, even flaming arrows were a common sight in war. Natural disasters could even be an expression of Nature in a state of Flux or Conflict.

The possibility of him being a cursed cook was heavily hinted at in one of his memories. The "cooking" theory is the most plausible: Sukuna cannot break down techniques. If that was the case, no one could have been able to even scratch him, not even Gojo. Mahito could manipulate souls, that's why he was so dangerous. That's also why he needed Mahoraga so much in his fight against Gojo: he needed to figure a way to see beyond his own limitations. Gojo has only his own mind as a limit since anything technique he decides to implement, he will instantly succeeds at. That is basically an interpretation of the concept of "infinity"? Infinite potential! Using reverse cursed energy to heal his brain, thus recovering curse energy? "infinite" curse energy! Sukuna tapped into that idea through Mahoraga's adapation that allowed him to find a technique he could instantly master AND would give him a counter against "infinity". That's how his new technique became basically an in(de)finite slash. Sukuna is an unstoppable force that has not yet met an unstoppable wall.
