Ooooh! Can you make the post about sukuna’s real goals?? I’ve legit been wondering about that for quite some time and I love your Big Brain

Hi!! Thanks for sending this ask!

I don't remember a lot of details, if there were any in the Shibuya Arc but I do remember what my brain juice told me. Beware that I might add stuff after I am done re-reading (currently taking one for the team in terms of hurt to make a chronological timeline).

As usual, these are only my thoughts. And as usual, there's so much potential left uncovered so far for Megumi, so this is... more like a possibility of a possibility.

Megumi plays a central role in this...

TL;DR: Sukuna's goal is probably to get his body back (using Megumi) and then rule the world... or just kill everybody?

Uhhh... manga spoilers ahead!

I already said it in this post.. or at least implied... that Sukuna is probably interested in a good fight with an equal. Sukuna very much appreciates strength and he seems like that kind of... entity... that wants to be on top of the world.

Most English readers do not know but the infamous line "Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the Honored One." (天上天下唯我独尊) was not only used for Satoru. In fact, it was used for Sukuna much earlier already. (Not my translation, I found it here: click click)

Chapter 30:

The English translation uses this: "With no concern for anyone but himself, he existed for leisure."

There is also this comment from Gege himself, stating that it most likely was used in an arrogant manner.

Sukuna most likely wants to be on top of the "hierarchy based on strength".

How will he achieve that? Of course through fighting everybody who is strong. And Satoru is the first to go (chapter 3):

Rather than a threat, somehow this sounds like a promise to me...

If you're going to ask me why he wants to be on top... idk, status or he just wants chaos or he has some tragic backstory as human that made him turn into this kind of villain with no redemption. Or he just wants to be the strongest since he's sooooo focused on strength alone:

What does this have to do with Megumi?

Here comes the theory time.

In order to do so, he needs a body he can control. We do not know what happens when Yuji consumes all 20 fingers - will Sukuna take over? Will Yuji be able to suppress the King of Curses? So yeah, we don't know if he will be able to conquer Yuji's will for good. But now, after having consumed ~15 fingers, it doesn't seem like it... or maybe he's hibernating after the massacre he caused..

Sukuna's body is most likely still intact. Think about it: his fingers cannot be destroyed thanks to his grave wax, not even by someone like Gojo Satoru, a special grade sorcerer. So his body should be somewhere as well...

Note: corpse, grave or mortuary wax is a fatty, organic substance that prevents the body from decaying further.  It commonly develops when body fat is exposed to anaerobic bacteria in a warm, damp, alkaline place - soil or water might be the ideal place. If air is absent, the corpse wax may last for centuries.

In case Sukuna is not able to take over Yuji’s body, he will probably search for his own body. Unless something miraculously destroyed the body, it should be still there.. probably buried deeper than 6 feet/3 meters... in soil. Or it's at the bottom of a lake or any kind of deep water body.

I don't know how to properly explain this regarding Megumi but I hope it'll make sense somehow. It's kinda bullshit though

Basically, Megumi can store stuff in his shadows right? But you can't really touch a shadow, in real life that is. Of course, we're talking about animanga here, so everything is possible.

But what if he's just storing that stuff in the ground and his shadow acts as a container? In simpler words: Take a plastic bag, put something in it (pen, rock, whatever), go to a lake or river and put the bag under water. Your hand would act as Megumi's body here, the bag would be the shadow, the water would be the ground and the bag's content would be the weapons Megumi stores. What if the bag didn't have an end and would just... go on and on and on? Technically, he would be able to pull anything out of the soil if we go by that logic. We would have to know the location... who knows if Uraume spent all those years looking for it or not? But we know soooo little about Megumi's shadow, or shadows in the JJKverse in general, so let's discard that theory.

Another theory is: shikigami.

We know that Megumi can use the Ten Shadows Technique. The user receives the Divine Dogs as the very first shikigami of this technique and has to use them, in order to gain more shikigami to use.

The word "exorcise" insinuates that shikigami are like curses. We don't know how shikigami come to be, but hear me out.

In order to control a shikigami, you have to defeat it first. You can, however, summon it at any given time to attempt to exorcise it. Megumi does this with Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga in chapter 117. Currently, there are 7 known (Megumi managed to tame 6) shikigami out of 10. That means there are 3 unknown ones.

Number 7 would be a 'weaker shikigami' like the ones we already know. I'm guessing that Mahoraga is the 8th in tow, solely based on the name though. Number 9 would be a good spot to place a kitsune in, ngl. What if number 10 would be something like a free spot? Like, you can tame any curse and then use it? Does this make sense? Am I reaching too much?

Anyway, Sukuna could use this to his advantage and make himself number 10, then force Megumi to summon him and they engage in a fight (which brings me back to the beginning of this post). Logically, Sukuna wants to be free, so of course he's going to try and kill Megumi or something. The ritual would end there but again, we don't know a lot, so I can't say whether the shikigami would continue going on a rampage or not. But it's Sukuna... sooooo...

However, there's also a theory floating around that Megumi can create life itself... considering Mai Zenin can construct bullets without them fading away after some time, it's not that far off the mark, I would say.

Hope this helped (because it got wayyy too long) <3
