Jujutsu Kaisen is a top-rated manga series that recently got an anime adaptation. Since MAPPA is the studio that animated the series, the show had some top-tier animation paired with great characters.

So far, the fan base is enjoying the series and eagerly anticipating the release of the next movie, Jujutsu Kaisen 0. That said, fans have been wondering if Sukuna will ever turn good. It has been common for antagonists to turn over a new tide and embrace the good. However, as things stand, the signs suggest otherwise.


Will Sukuna ever turn good in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Jujutsu Kaisen is a manga series created by Gege Akutami and has been serialized in the Weekly Shonen Jump since 2018. This manga recently received an anime adaptation and was animated by MAPPA. The show has excellent fight sequences, fantastic fight sequences, and great characters as well.

Those who have watched the anime probably wonder if Sukuna will ever turn good during the manga or anime. It’s too early to say, but signs indicate Sukuna is the main antagonist.

The first few episodes show a fraction of Gojo Satoru’s strength as he fights Sukuna, who dwells inside Itadori Yuji’s body. Gojo is far stronger than Sukuna but hasn’t reached his complete form yet. Sukuna has displayed his strength against the Special Grade Curse. It’s hard to gauge how strong Sukuna will be once he consumes all his fingers.

The series is constantly hyping Sukuna and is trying to build up to him being the main antagonist. Now, if fans were subjected to a build-up that lasted over a season or two, and it turns out that the antagonist becomes good, there wouldn’t be a final fight between the two strongest possible characters, one representing good and the other representing evil.

Jujutsu Kaisen tends towards the Shonen genre. Therefore, if Sukuna did turn out to be good, the show should reveal an enemy who would be far more potent than Sukuna. As of now, it seems unlikely that he will turn good. It is too early to ascertain if he will turn good, as fans await further chapters in the manga that will clarify the issue at hand.

Mangaka Gege Akutami is also known for darker storylines and harsh treatment of his characters. It would be unlike him if he took a typical approach by turning his story into a generic happy ending. Sukuna carries the epithet of King of Curses, and true to his name, he will become evil and malice incarnate.
