In an ancient time, there were powerful beings, so strong and dangerous that even their names resonated for centuries, one of those many names was "ryomen sukuna" an ancient, powerful and sadistic curse.
His abilities were so feared that even after his imprisonment, his power was like honey to curses of all degrees, from grade 4 to special category, there was not a cursed being that did not covet one of Sukuna's fingers, but in ancient stories, many believed that in the future, a being would appear, someone who could equal or surpass the one who was named "the fallen", that legend was forgotten over time, but what no one believed could happen, did, a being appeared, someone with the ability to contain Ryomen Sukuna, one on the entire planet, who only appears every thousand years, this individual is known as Yuuji Itadori, the only one with the ability to suppress the king of curses, one on the entire planet.
- "Why me? Why do I have to have this monster inside me?"
At all times, Sukuna sought to make the young man's soul succumb, who, amazed by his strength, entered a world where he was not welcome, a place where he should not be, but fate could be a bitch sometimes, and for Yuuji Itadori, it was no exception, he saw Jumpei die, a friend he had on a mission, then, he was forced to kill modified humans, but for Yuuji, nothing was more painful than what happened in Shibuya.
- "What's up, brat? Does it hurt to kill others?"
but there was something that even the king of curses could not avoid, Yuuji Itadori was born with a special body, since he was little, he was destined to be like the man he hates so much, and after the defeat of Sukuna, his mind could not bear any more that pain that he carried in his heart and broken, it was not only that pain, Sukuna, before dying, left a little cursed energy in Yuuji, that cursed energy over time transformed into a second personality, at first it was silent, but over time, he began to whisper things to Yuji, reminding him of everything that happened.
Year 2020.
Location: "Tokyo."
Two years had passed since the defeat of the King of Curses, and unfortunately for the sorcerers, things had gotten worse. Yuji Itadori, the boy, was unfortunately closer to madness than anyone else. This led to one thing: Yuta Okkotsu is Satoru Gojo's successor. Maki Zenin is Toji Fushiguro's successor. And Yuji Itadori is Ryomen Sukuna's successor, the new King of Curses. Currently, everyone is trying to stop Yuji, but it was complicated. Yuji didn't listen; he just followed Sukuna's steps.
- "How long has it been? How many have fallen? I just want to forget what happened… What triggered this."
A man, gaunt and tired, was resting in a destroyed building. That man was Kusakabe. Beside him was Maki, breathing heavily on the ground. Other sorcerers were unconscious. Yuta had stayed behind to fight Yuji.
- "Why didn't we notice? It was obvious he was reaching his limit, but we feigned ignorance. That was our biggest mistake. I'm sorry, Yuji, I didn't notice your pain."
Maki was wandering in her thoughts, feeling frustrated and disappointed. Nobara, who was sitting in a chair overlooking the destroyed landscape, said nothing. She was the most affected of all the others. After all, Nobara spent a lot of time with Yuji, and it could be said they had a platonic relationship.
Hours later.
Nobara stood in front of Itadori. The boy had a cold and monotonous expression. He had almost killed Yuta, but Maki managed to save him. Now, Nobara, determined to make Itadori change, approached him. When she arrived, she didn't hesitate to confront him.
- "Yuji, look around you, look at your hands. What are you now? You're exactly like Sukuna. You swore you wouldn't be like Sukuna, but now you are. Why Yuji? Why?"
Tears threatened to spill from Nobara's eyes. When Itadori heard that, his gaze turned colder.
- "Answer me, Itadori, answer my question-"
Nobara didn't finish her sentence. When Yuji knocked her to the ground with a simple movement, Nobara and Yuji's breaths clashed. From Nobara's perspective, Yuji Itadori was still her friend.
- "I am what I am because of what happened."
Yuji's voice came out slowly, raspy, but... Nobara could detect pain, a pain deeply rooted in Itadori's heart.
Days later.
Itadori's reign continued. His name was like summoning Satan himself. No one thought or wanted all this hell to end. The other nations thought they could take advantage of that, of that anarchy Itadori imposed, but they didn't expect the boy to also attack them, attacking their sent soldiers. And when they threatened to go to war with him, Itadori remained unfazed, and instead responded with the same aggression, seeking to destroy everything related to the other nations.
- "Currently, Yuta Okkotsu is in an indefinite coma. It's unknown when he'll wake up, but it's estimated he'll wake up in two more days. Maki Zenin and Nobara Kugisaki attempted to negotiate with Itadori. Spoiler alert: they failed. But Nobara managed to enter and plant a deep seed in Itadori. Todou Aoi managed to start a conversation without argument. Although at first the boy was cold and distant, he gradually began to open up, allowing us to see how serious the situation is in his mind... Although the situation is serious, it can be interfered with and the child can be made to return to his former self."
Kusakabe said through a radio, informing the living sorcerers located in Kyoto.
- "We understand. We will try to help with resources."
Utahime Iori answered on the other end and showed her support by passing resources to those in Tokyo.
In downtown Tokyo.
Itadori was resting in a large pile of rubble, his expression cold and unreadable. In front of him, Nobara stood, trying to talk some sense into Itadori.
- "Listen, Itadori, I know no one paid attention to your thoughts. We all went through it, Sukuna and the rest. You can put that aside, move on, and try to change. The Japanese government doesn't even exist now. You imposed your own anarchy. Please, Itadori, understand that I want to help you."
Nobara tried to start a conversation, but Itadori's expression showed he wasn't willing.
- "You never considered my thoughts… The Shibuya incident… The Sacrificial Games… the fight in Shinjuku… my brother's death… they used the professor's body without informing anyone… and even then, more deaths couldn't be prevented… Tell me, Nobara, don't you think that's enough to drive someone crazy?"
Yuji, with a rough and hoarse voice, asked Nobara, the kind 15-year-old boy was gone and now there was a broken 17-year-old boy, with an unstable mentality and broken by hundreds of deaths that he carries on his conscience.
- "Yuji… tell me what you want, I'll try, I'll give you whatever you want, just please, try, just try."
Nobara then left. Itadori didn't attack her, still feeling that friendship. With a wave of his hand, Itadori slashed out, destroying a building, revealing civilians. People Itadori himself swore to protect. Now he's exterminating them.
-" What am I looking for?... I guess I'm looking for love. Even I know my mind is broken… but can love truly save me?"
