Do a jujutsu It follows the story of Yuji Itadori, a teenage boy who becomes a vessel for the powerful wizard Ryomen Sukuna by eating one of the dark wizard's fingers. To avoid execution, Itadori works with the students and faculty of Jujutsu High to gather Sukuna's remaining fingers and expel the spirit for good. Let's review the following: Do a jujutsu This is an animation that tells the story of a boy who eats a cursed finger.

If you were to eat a cursed finger, what would the cursed finger taste like? And not even the cursed finger, but the finger of the “King of the Curse”! Unfortunately (probably Fortunately), we will never be able to eat one in real life. So the only tool available is guesswork combined with knowledge gathered from JJK knowledge.

Ryomen Sukuna is one of JJK's most corrupt characters.

His fingers reflect his dark soul

The first clue to understanding the flavor of a particular meat is its source. Consider beef. Many factors affect the taste of beef, including what the cow eats, how many times it moves from farm to farm during its life, and what part of the cow is slaughtered. The same logic applies to Sukuna's fingers.

So who is Ryomen Sukuna? In short, he was the most dangerous jujitsu magician of the Heian period (794 to 1185). Sukuna used his extraordinary ability to wield cursed energy to satisfy his glutton for bloodshed. Since no wizard was powerful enough to defeat Sukuna, the Japanese authorities bowed to his will and held a festival in his honor.

When Sukuna died, his body was transformed into a cursed object, and his soul separated into twenty fingers (yes, Sukuna has four arms). Over the next thousands of years, these fingers roamed areas vulnerable to curses and served as a protective device to ward off cursed spirits.

Another fun fact about Sukuna is that he is a cannibal. His taste for human flesh is best explained in one of his quotes from the comics:

Every human being has a unique and fleeting taste. Consuming them is the perfect way to pass the time until you die.

As Sukuna's origin story and lifestyle suggests, his fingers do not have a pleasant taste profile. These are the terrible cannibal's fingers, which over a thousand years have turned into wrinkled, dried-out finger jerky. The word 'gamey' is an understatement.

JJK's character suggests that cursed objects taste terrible

Series creator likens Sukuna's fingers to soap

Another source of reference for the taste of Sukuna's fingers is characters who ate cursed objects and souls. Considering he's tried Sukuna's fingers before, what does Yuji have to say about the taste? In Season 1, Episode 2, “For Myself”, after Yuji swallows a second Sukuna finger, he exclaims “Blech. It's so gross. I mean, it's so gross.” It's not the most specific explanation, but it makes sense.

Suguru Geto, a wizard with the ability to dispel and absorb curses, provides much more detail. In season 2 episode 1 “Hidden Inventory”, Geto states that cursed souls “taste like swallowing a dirty rag used to clean up poop and spit it out.” This seems to match Yuji's description.

finally, Do a jujutsu Manga artist Gege Akutami provides a definitive answer to the question of what Sukuna's fingers taste like. In an official fanbook published in 2021, Akutami claimed that tomb wax covered Sukuna's fingers.

wait. What is Grave Wax? The answer is very unsettling. Grave wax is a naturally occurring substance that coats decomposing corpses. As the body decomposes, the fat breaks down into a waxy orange substance that helps preserve it. According to Akutami, the taste is similar to soap.

According to Itadori, Geto, and Akutami's records, Sukuna's fingers were said to taste like vomit on hardened stool sticks and wax soap. They taste bitter, sour, sour, rancid, and in the worst way possible. This disruption of taste makes sense because these fingers are toxic to normal humans. Even if your taste buds die, you need a strong recovery against cursed energy to be able to eat them.
