I previously talked about how I believe Sukuna had a twin and him consuming that twin is the result of his new appearance.
I wanted to elaborate a bit on it and see if we can tie it up. Searching for stuff online led me to some posts and this book that is apparently used by Gege to model Sukuna on. And in there there was an excerpt about Sukuna and his origin.
It basically went like this
Sukuna used to have a twin. Siamese twin to be precise. But he ate him.
A Siamese twin was born to a poor family, who later sold them to a freak show. One day, a cult leader named Mononobe Tengoku purchased several malformed humans, including the Siamese twins from the freak show. Mononobe was fascinated by the twins and kept them in a room without food or water until one of the twins killed and ate the other. Mononobe then attached the arms of the deceased twin to the surviving twin and half of their face. The resulting creature was named Ryomen Sukuna.
That will be Sukuna's origin. He was a nobody, a freak, sold to the circus, and ate his brother. That's how he got the appetite for eating humans in the first place.
Now the origin doesn't have to be the exact same as the above. A more interesting proposal for me is that Sukuna as he is now is the result of the first culling game. The circus=culling game, the cult leader=Kenjaku/Tengen
Sukuna and his twin were in the first culling game and Sukuna was forced to eat his brother for an unknown reason thus far. Probably to win the game or something akin to that.
And the result of all of that is the Sukuna as we know him today. Specifically his full form as shown in chapter 117
And looking at the pic, and after a lot of research and surfing on the net, I think Sukuna's next CT will be thunder related. Probably a thunder arrow to go with the bow he is holding.
His abilities correspond to old myths from a book that Gege mentioned previously.
In the book Ryomen Sukuna is depicted having four arms, using two swords and two bows. I think the swords correspond to Cleave and Dismantle, and the two bows correspond to the Fire Arrow and an eventual Thunder Arrow.
The trident that he is holding is associated with Shiva. That's where his fire arrow tech comes from.
The bow is Indra's weapon.
And I think this was also foreshadowed in chapter 12. Yuji mentions fire and thunder. We already know now Sukuna can fire fire arrows.
Anyway thoughts guys? And share any other interesting Sukuna theories you have here.
Many implications and theories are coming to mind. There's no way it was just a throwaway comment by Kenny.
I am trying to tie it all together. But coming up short.
What pops to mind is that theory that Sukuna is a set of conjoined twins. Thus giving him the 4 arms and multiple faces. Even the real life myth of Sukuna speaks of that.
What if someway somehow Tengen is the other twin? He lost his body because it was consumed by his brother Sukuna and now needs to merge with vessels because of that? While his body is gone and in possession of Sukuna, his mind, spirit, traversed and is the Tengen we now know? That would explain Kenny's teasing imo. Like look at you. Been through all that to now look like your brother after consuming you.
And Sukuna is touted as the fallen because he ate his brother, or betrayed Tengen, in case I am off the mark with the twins theory.
Sukuna doesn't seem like the guy that would lead people, he's like Gojo, best when he's alone imo, but Tengen can be a different story. His preaching probably attracted followers. What makes me think that is the fact that he knew of Angel's CT.
She most likely was a follower of Tengen's, if what I am saying is on the mark, and that's why she's after Sukuna, the fallen now.
Imo they could have been in like a guild, or band or something, and that's how they know each other and stuff. Probably others like Kenny and Uraume as well.
Another possibility is the same as this bar Tengen being the twin. Sukuna could have simply been another follower that then betrayed them, might have even taken Tengen's body and merged with it and thus resulting in his new form.
Among other possibilities are that Sukuna is the result of the previous Culling Game in which both Kenny and Tengen were involved.
Just throwing some ideas out there.
