Sukuna has been an interesting foil for Yuji Itadori and his fellow sorcerers at Jujutsu Tech, with the king of the curses actually residing within the body of our Shonen protagonist. With Jujutsu Kaisen slated to arrive with its second season next year in 2023, it seems that the villain of this supernatural world is set to receive a statue of his own that captures the meance, and swagger, of this nearly invincible demon that is hiding inside of Yuji to this day.

In the medium of anime, having a Shonen protagonist struggling with an inner demon is certainly nothing new, with franchises such as Naruto, Bleach, and Demon Slayer seeing characters attempting to hold back a villain that is bouncing around the heroes’ heads. Sukuna is definitely one of the most powerful, however, as it seems that no hero or villain has been able to come close to matching his power. While Sukuna had no role to play in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, with the prequel movie focusing on the tragic tale of Yuta Okkotsu rather than Yuji Itadori, expect the king of the curses to have a big part in the second season of the anime series dropping next year.
Twitter User KaiKaiKitan shared a new look at this upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen statue, with the company Shibuya Scramble having previously created figures for the Shonen series as well as figures for franchises such as Sword Art Online, Fate/Grand Order, and Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World to name a few:
Currently, Jujutsu Kaisen has yet to reveal the exact date as to when Studio MAPPA will be releasing the next season of the anime series, though the release window is set for next year. With the manga continuing to tell the story of the sorcerers of Jujutsu Tech, there are some major storylines that are set to be adapted when it comes to the return of Yuji Itadori and his friends as Seto continues his bid to eliminate everyone in the world that doesn’t have cursed energy.
Will you be picking up this Sukuna statue when it drops in the future? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Jujutsu Tech.
