He tried sending some holy documents he wrote to the Royal Court as atonement, but his brother sent them back. This refusal to let him do good caused Emperor Sutoku to actually curse Japan, to spend his last days praying to be reborn as a demon, and (according to legend) to cause misfortune to the country.
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpsz3lpIscA "The Demon Emperor"]], it's speculated that the biological father of Emperor Sutoku was not his legal father Emperor Toba, but rather his legal grandfather Emperor Shirakawa. This resulted in Sutoku being hated by Toba, being forced to abdicate to his younger brother, and [[TheResenter starting a civil war over the loss of his birthright]].
