Who is Sukuna's crush?

In Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna, the King of Curses, is known for his ruthlessness, arrogance, and absolute lack of empathy. He has no romantic interests or "crushes" in the traditional sense, at least not in the way characters in typical anime or manga might. Sukuna is depicted as a being who views everything around him with disdain and is more concerned with exerting his dominance over both curses and humans than engaging in any form of affection or romantic pursuit.

However, there are moments in the series where Sukuna shows a peculiar interest in certain characters, but this is more about his power dynamics and self-interest rather than romantic attraction. Let's explore a few of these moments and the characters that might be considered the closest thing to a "crush" for Sukuna, even though it’s not romantic in the traditional sense.

1. His Relationship with Megumi Fushiguro

The closest thing Sukuna has to a "crush" or fascination is his relationship with Megumi Fushiguro. Sukuna shows an unusual level of interest in Megumi, particularly when he’s able to interact with him through the vessel of Yuji Itadori.

While Sukuna doesn’t have romantic feelings toward Megumi, there is a level of curiosity and intrigue surrounding him. Sukuna sees Megumi as someone with great potential, particularly because of Megumi’s unique Ten Shadows Technique and his bloodline. There are moments where Sukuna even expresses a desire to see what Megumi could become if he were to fully embrace his potential and use more destructive techniques.

Sukuna even goes so far as to offer Megumi a dangerous deal: if Megumi were to allow him to take over his body, Sukuna would grant him more power. While this is more of a manipulative tactic than a romantic gesture, it does demonstrate that Sukuna has some sort of fascination with Megumi, albeit in a twisted, power-driven way.

2. His Interactions with Yuji Itadori

Another interesting dynamic is between Sukuna and Yuji Itadori. Sukuna’s relationship with Yuji is complex, as Yuji is the vessel Sukuna is bound to. Sukuna often expresses disdain toward Yuji, calling him weak or insignificant, but there are rare moments when Sukuna shows an odd level of amusement or even respect toward Yuji’s perseverance.

This isn’t love or a crush, but it’s an acknowledgment of Yuji’s strength and resilience, traits that Sukuna values in a twisted sense. However, the moments of respect are fleeting, and Sukuna often turns on Yuji, seeing him as nothing more than a means to an end. The occasional interactions between the two could be seen as the closest Sukuna comes to developing any kind of attachment, though it’s always manipulative and self-serving.

3. The Past: Sukuna’s Relationship with Humans

Sukuna’s past life as a human sorcerer is still a mystery in many ways, but based on what’s been revealed, it’s unlikely that he had a "crush" or a romantic partner in the traditional sense. His focus was primarily on power, control, and fear. Any relationships Sukuna had during his life as a human would have likely been based on loyalty, manipulation, or domination, rather than any form of emotional attachment.

Why Sukuna Doesn't Have a "Crush"

Sukuna’s character is defined by his absolute arrogance and detachment from human emotions. His personality is that of a being who sees others as tools or obstacles to overcome. He thrives on chaos, destruction, and asserting his power. Romantic interest doesn’t align with his worldview, and he has no emotional capacity for affection or love in the conventional sense.

His relationship with power is what drives him. His desires are about control, not connection. The closest Sukuna comes to an emotional attachment is his fascination with the potential in others, like Megumi, or his recognition of strength in someone like Yuji, but even these are more about power dynamics than genuine affection.

Conclusion: Sukuna and "Crushes"

Sukuna doesn’t have a romantic crush in Jujutsu Kaisen. His interactions with other characters are driven by his desire for power, dominance, and the manipulation of others, rather than by love or infatuation. Any emotional attachment he has is rooted in his twisted view of power, not in romantic or affectionate terms. As a being who views everyone around him as inferior, Sukuna is more likely to "crush" his enemies—both literally and metaphorically—than to develop a crush on anyone.

So, in summary: Sukuna’s "crush" is the concept of power itself, and he is more likely to manipulate others for his own gain than to fall in love.
