History NightmareFuel / JujutsuKaisen

* Chapter 173 introduces a Special Grade curse named Kurourushi. If its face didn't give you away, this ugly sucker is the result of humanity's fear of cockroaches, which Kurourushi controls and propagates as part of his Cursed Technique. Worse, it controls a ''rivers'' of cockroaches that can reduce a human to mere bones in seconds. It's also stated that Kurouroushi was hibernating up until Yuta killed one of the strongest Culling Game players in the colony, causing it to wake up and start eating now that its biggest obstacle was out of the way. Yuta meets it when it sicks its cockroach swarms on a group of civilians.

* Chapter 219: A glimpse into the Heian era is seen in that Yorozu was once a Country Bumpkin who was known to have an abhorrent interest in Sukuna and a tendency to be naked. Within her own home we see that she's highly abusive without a care in the world toward her servant and blatantly admits she abuses her everyday to her face so she should be "Used" to it. We are also shown through the conversation between some local noblemen that the teams of [[AvengersAssemble both the Sun-Moon-Stars and the Five Void Generals]] were rendered utterly unrecognizable as corpses by Ryomen Sukuna, and the now the ''imperial capital'' is trying to stay on Sukuna's good side in order to avoid the same fate upon themselves by holding festivities in his honor.

*** First, the King of Curses slashes Jogo ''[[DisproportionateRetribution just because he only kneeled on one knee]]'' Sukuna is then not pleased with any perceived attempts to order him around, so he cruelly murders the two girls (read: [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cut in half and diced]]) and challenges Jogo to hit him in exchange for any assistance.
*** During the fight, Jogo summons a ''meteor'' down on the city. Sukuna, [[KickTheDog being an asshole that he is]], threatens several witnesses (among them Panda and Kusakabe) to not move before the meteor hits or they die.
*** At the end of the fight, Sukuna then reveals ''[[PlayingWithFire that he can conjure a fire arrow]]'' to Jogo, which ultimately ends with his demise. Just who exactly is Sukuna?

*** The form puts Mahito strength and durability much more than Yuji's [[DiscardAndDraw in exchange for his Idle Transfiguration.]] The result is that Yuji [[NighInvulnerability can't even dent Mahito's body]] without [[EnhancedPunch Black Flash]].

*** As Yuji chases Mahito in a station, Nobara then appears and both of them see each other. Yuji, [[TouchOfDeath knowing what would happen to Nobara]], tells Nobara to run only for Mahito '''''[[TouchOfDeath to touch Nobara's eye.]]'''''

* ' ''[[BigBad Kenjaku.]]''' This man, whose technique allows him to transplant his brain into other people, taking over their bodies and acquiring their techniques. He's said to be at least as old as Sukuna, and the worst part is that it's implied Suguru Geto is only one of many bodies he's taken over the years in the name of furthering his terrible goals.

*** At the end of the fight, Sukuna then reveals ''[[PlayingWithFire that he can conjure a fire arrow]] to Jogo, which ultimately ends with his demise. Just who exactly is Sukuna?
***

* Sukuna senses that Fushiguro has summoned his trump card across the city, and is very close to death. He leaves Uraume and manages to defeat the uncontrollable monster that Megumi summoned, saving the sorcerer. In the process, however, he unleashes his Domain Expansion, purposefully causing ''staggering'' amounts of damage in a 140 meter radius, cratering the area and killing most of the civilians taking shelter. He does all of this simply for the sake of violence and destruction, and ends his rampage making sure Yuji would remember [[BreakTheCutie all of]] [[IAmAMonster it]].
* Yuji's BadassBoast to Mahito is both an awesome moment and a horrifying one, due to just how malicious and predatory it sounds, so much that it could very well be a villain speech:
-->'''Yuji''': [[NotSoDifferentRemark You're right, Mahito. I'm you. I wanted to reject you, convince myself that you were wrong.]] [[ShutUpHannibal But that doesn't matter now. I'm gonna kill you.]] Even if you come back as another curse, I'll kill you. Change your name. Change your form. I'll kill you again. [[NothingPersonal I don't need to find meaning or a reason.]] Maybe in a hundred years after my death, the meaning behind my actions will become apparent. [[TheAntiNihilist In the grand scheme of things... I'm probably nothing more than a cog.]] [[IAmWhatIAm But I'll keep killing curses... for as long as I can. That's my role in all this.]]

* Prison Realm looks like a simple fabric-wrapped cube with etchings, the ''still-alive'' remains of a Heian era Buddhist monk by the name of Genshin. When activated, it breaks apart to reveal a fleshy mass with a large, bleeding eyeball in the middle. Stay within its range for one minute, and it envelops your body, trapping you in place and removing any ability to fight back. At a final command, it closes up, locking you in a hellish void where skeletons surround and grasp you. It will only release you after a thousand years have passed. Even worse? It doesn't take one actual minute to be trapped -- it just has to ''feel'' like one minute to the victim. Gojo, flashing through ''3 years of his life'' upon seeing Geto, had no chance to escape.
* The reveal that the current Geto is an impostor. When revealing himself to Gojo, he pulls a string that had been keeping the top of his head on, and ''takes it off like a cap'' complete with brain fluids oozing out over the rim, revealing a ''brain with teeth'' inside his skull. [[https://i.imgur.com/3ooVjuz.png The startlingly large smile he flashes Gojo with, seemingly caused by Geto's facial muscles going completely slack, like a marionette puppet that's having a grin held up by it's master, is absurdly sinister.]]

* The ocean curse, Dagon, looks docile and silly. In Shibuya, after being punched, it to vomits out a ''whole mountain of bones'' from humans it has consumed. Then in rage, its body splits apart, [[{{Metamorphosis}} revealing]] [[NotSoHarmlessVillain a far more]] [[TookALevelInBadass menacing form.]]
* Jogo feeds ten of Sukuna's fingers to Yuji while he is unconscious, with two curse users feeding him another beforehand, unleashing Sukuna. This pushes the harrowing situation in Shibuya into an absolute calamity:
** First, the King of Curses is not pleased with any perceived attempts to order him around, cruelly murdering the two girls and challenging Jogo to hit him in exchange for any assistance. This begins a fight which sees Jogo summoning a ''meteor'' down on the city, Sukuna threatening several witnesses (among them Panda and Kusakabe), and the Earth Curse ultimately meeting his demise.
** After dispatching the Special Grade, Sukuna meets, to his surprise, a former associate, Uraume. By the time they part, they appear to have arranged for a plan that would allow Sukuna to be free.
** Finally, Sukuna senses that Fushiguro has summoned his trump card across the city, and is very close to death. He leaves Uraume and manages to defeat the uncontrollable monster that Megumi summoned, saving the sorcerer. In the process, however, he unleashes his Domain Expansion, purposefully causing ''staggering'' amounts of damage in a 140 meter radius, cratering the area and killing most of the civilians taking shelter. He does all of this simply for the sake of violence and destruction, and ends his rampage making sure Yuji would remember [[BreakTheCutie all of]] [[IAmAMonster it]].

* The true nature of the man we see as Suguru Geto. He is in reality a man by the name of Kenjaku, whose technique allows him to transplant his brain into other people, taking over their bodies and acquiring their techniques. He's said to be at least as old as Sukuna, and the worst part is that it's implied Suguru Geto is only one of many bodies he's taken over the years in the name of furthering his terrible goals - at one point he was the most evil sorcerer in history, Noritoshi Kamo. Even more horrific is that he at one point took on the identity of Yuji's own mother.
