Regarding Sukuna, Zenin Kiyoshi had always had a rather alternative idea in his heart.
First, although Sukuna in the original story killed from beginning to end, and would cut anyone he saw, to be honest, Sukuna had no motive for killing. He simply killed when he wanted to kill, and played when he wanted to play. Until he was finally killed by Itadori, Sukuna still did not have a clear goal in life.
The only thing that could be barely said was that the phrase [I just want to live the way I like, I don't care who dies] could be considered Sukuna's life creed.
Second, Sukuna was a fun-seeker, and he was a fun-seeker who liked to fool the weak in battle. In the original story, when Sukuna could have instantly killed people like Higuruma, he chose to play with the people of Jujutsu High, and in the end, when he was beaten to near death by the powered-up Itadori, he started to get anxious.
The above two points can actually be summarized into a rough character model.
Sukuna was an extremely arrogant, but also a control freak who could not accept a single unexpected situation, a giant baby.
Sukuna's "fun-seeker" mentality was actually built on the complete control brought by his absolute strength crushing.
Once a situation he could not control appeared, Sukuna would start to break down and get anxious.
And the source of this breakdown and anxiety was the emptiness and fragility in Sukuna's heart.
Just as the phrase that runs through the entire work of Jujutsu Kaisen says:
"The loneliness born from absolute strength, what teaches you love is..."
This phrase applies to both Gojo Satoru and Sukuna, but it fits Sukuna a little more.
Sukuna had not experienced love. His fallen angel name represented everything about him.
Even for Uraume, his loyal servant who had followed him for a thousand years, he actually maintained a faint distance. For Uraume's feelings, he was more about control and nurturing. He could not learn to love people, let alone learn to treat something seriously.
Treating the people and things around him seriously was the source of Sukuna's disgust for Yuji Itadori.
Sukuna could not do this. His arrogance was an overcompensation for his anxiety about his own existence. His fun-seeker mentality was a protective shell used to hide his nihilistic nature.
When Itadori shattered his playground with the attitude of "living seriously," when Itadori looked at Sukuna with a look of pity, that was what Sukuna truly feared.
He was not a completely alternative villain. He had no thoughts of killing all humans. Compared to the extreme ideas of Suguru Geto, Jogo, and Kenjaku, who wanted to destroy humanity without moving, Sukuna could almost be considered "kind."
In fact, even including the final decisive battle in Shinjuku, in fact, not all the people inside Jujutsu High were united until the last moment.
Noritoshi Kamo ran away because of family matters. Mei Mei and Ui Ui were not prepared to risk their lives at all. There was the faction led by Kusakabe who advocated "don't fight Sukuna to the death," and the faction led by [Yuta] who advocated paying any price to kill Sukuna.
But in fact, there is a very difficult to self-consistent logic here. Yuta Okkotsu said that he would do whatever it takes to kill Sukuna, even if Gojo Satoru died and became a mecha, he would still go up and pilot it, just to be able to kill Sukuna.
But... why did Kashimo Hajime's proposal of "don't care about Megumi Fushiguro, let's all go up and defeat Sukuna" be rejected by the Yuta faction?
Could it be that Megumi Fushiguro was the real succubus, or did everyone just hate Gojo Satoru and want him to die?
This point of logic is completely self-inconsistent. Zenin Kiyoshi was often speechless in this post in his previous life.
But in the final analysis, the reason why the people inside Jujutsu High were not united was essentially because of Sukuna's personality.
That is: if you don't provoke Sukuna and treat him with respect, he really most likely won't kill you.
Kusakabe also had this idea, feeling that there was no need for them to fight Sukuna to the death.
And for a super anti-human thing like Kenjaku, basically all members held the mentality of "must be killed" without any doubt.
This also explained one thing from the side.
Sukuna was not the kind of extreme anti-human element that was completely unable to communicate. As long as you coaxed him and followed him, Sukuna was not just a pure lunatic.
Analyzing to this point, Zenin Kiyoshi couldn't help but be extremely grateful for the days when he had debated with various scholars on various platforms before he transmigrated.
If he hadn't seriously replied to every comment, he might not have had the opportunity to have such a deep understanding of the characters.
And the reason why his idea was rather peculiar was because Sukuna's soul was now divided into twenty parts, and each part of the soul could actually be seen as an independent Sukuna body.
Although these twenty souls were in a state where they could contact each other at any time before, under Kenjaku's control, they were basically equivalent to one soul.
But now it was different. This one-twentieth of Sukuna's soul was now firmly locked in Zenin Kiyoshi's body.
Then, an independent, weak Sukuna soul that he could knead at will, did it also mean that he might be able to adjust it to a normal person's three views and moral standards?
Maybe, at that time, he could even let this independent Sukuna soul live in place of the real Sukuna!
Thinking of this, Zenin Kiyoshi looked at Sukuna, and his heart had already begun to calculate how to increase Sukuna's affection.
However, the main goal of increasing affection this time was not for Sukuna's technique or cursed energy. After all, it was only one-twentieth of the main body's strength. Zenin Kiyoshi was not so greedy.
As for Sukuna's technique, Zenin Kiyoshi actually did not have much enthusiasm. Although Malevolent Shrine was a very good technique, the reason why it was so powerful was inseparable from Sukuna's own huge cursed energy and his extremely high combat intelligence, plus his special body with four hands and two mouths.
These three things added together were the reason why Sukuna was so powerful.
A simple Malevolent Shrine, besides the space-cleaving slash, actually did not have any heaven-defying skills.
Including the space-cleaving slash, if it weren't for Gojo Satoru being careless at the end and not dodging, the winner of the Shinjuku battle would have been Gojo Satoru.
However, if he could really take this Sukuna soul fragment into his own hands and turn it into an existence similar to "Yao Lao," with the help of his thousand years of knowledge accumulation and the ability to establish a "contract," his strength would have an extremely exaggerated growth during this period.
Thinking of this, Zenin Kiyoshi looked at Sukuna and said word by word:
"Before we make a contract, I have a question I want to ask you. How do you create things from the outside world in your own inner world?"
"Huh?"
