• Cursed energy reserves and output – Confirmed by Yuta Okkotsu, who possesses the second highest cursed energy reserves of any known sorcerer, Sukuna's store of energy is mounds higher, exceeding double Yuta's. His output is also nothing shy of monstrous, likely only losing out to Ryu Ishigoori whose claim to fame is having the highest CE output of any sorcerer in history. Making matters worse for his opponents is his tremendous efficiency, another aspect in which he is second only to one other. Even without the Six Eyes, the only means of attaining efficiency greater than his, his ability to spontaneously activate cursed techniques with minimal consumption of energy allows him to chain back-to-back Domain Expansions without concern.
• Reverse Cursed Technique – Not technically a cursed technique, but rather an application of cursed energy manipulation where one multiplies two pools of negative energy together to create positive energy, which can then be used to regenerate human flesh. Unlike Satoru Gojo, Sukuna does not possess Cursed Technique Reversal, but this does not mean his use of RCT is any less impressive. In fact, it is often considered more advanced due to the following:
  • External RCT - By using another human's cursed energy to synthesize positive energy, Sukuna can heal bodies other than his own. So far, he has only ever demonstrated this ability on Megumi, though in this case it was strong enough to recover his body from fatal wounds, meaning it is vastly superior to Shoko's in output and effectiveness.
  • Healing a destroyed brain – Just as Gojo learned to do, Sukuna is capable of destroying a portion of his brain responsible for maintaining cursed techniques and recovering it with reverse technique in order to more quickly regain access to his technique.
• Domain Amplification – In order to neutralize the effect of an opponent's cursed technique (namely Infinity), Sukuna shrouds himself in the empty shell of a domain, and by not imbuing a cursed technique into it he leaves room for another technique to occupy the space and have its effect canceled out. Because he needs to leave space to funnel his opponent's technique into the domain shell, he cannot use the cursed technique engraved on his body at the same time as Amplification, but if a technique is granted to a barrier via Domain Expansion then he can use it in sync with Amplification. Sukuna also demonstrates a specialized capacity to "pause" a technique's effect when beginning Domain Amplification, demonstrated when bearing the burden of Mahoraga's adaptation to Infinity and Blue between uses of Amplification.
• Hollow Wicker Basket – A predecessor to New Shadow Style's Simple Domain that spreads out a woven, hollow sphere which interferes with a domain's barrier and prevents the sure-hit effect from landing. It is largely inferior to Simple Domain for a plethora of reasons, including;
  • Hollow Wicker Basket must be constantly maintained using the hand seal and chants, while Simple Domain only requires maintenance at activation time
  • Due to not being a domain, HWB does not grant the buff or debuff properties present in Simple Domain or a true domain. This means it cannot reduce the output of cursed techniques making contact with it in the same way an advanced Simple Domain such as Kusakabe's can
  • The more advanced barrier of Simple Domain allows the incorporation of automatic programming for reflexive movement, most commonly seen in sword-drawing techniques. This is a capability entirely lacking in Hollow Wicker Basket
  • Despite these glaring issues, Sukuna had little time or care to upgrade to Simple Domain as his own Domain Expansion was more than satisfactory for any domain in the past.
• Black Flash – When cursed energy impacts a target less than one millionth of a second following a physical blow, space distorts and flashes black. The effects of pulling off a Black Flash include awakening to the composition of one's cursed energy and entering an elevated state of performance. Once a single Black Flash has been landed, it becomes measurably easier for a sorcerer to enter a sort-of flow state and chain several together. Sukuna has performed at least four during the ṛaid in the remains of Shinjuku, and after doing so was able to construct a unique relay for Domain Expansion in his brain (more on that later).
• The cursed tools Kamutoke and Hiten – These tools were originally wielded by Sukuna during his rule of the Heian era. Their power is unquantifiable, but high enough that they are nigh uncontested by modern tools. Kamutoke is the only one of the two whose effect was demonstrated in battle when Sukuna used a replica created by Yorozu. It creates a massive electrostatic discharge with destructive properties equivalent to a lightning strike. This cursed tool would have enabled Sukuna to deal far more damage to the sorcerers allied with Jujutsu High had it not been seized in Higuruma's domain.
• Cursed object transmutation – Thanks to his colluding with Kenjaku a millennium ago, Sukuna has gained the ability to sunder his soul into cursed objects which can then reincarnate in a compatible vessel if the two become one. He can either divvy the soul up into several parts or dope the entire conscience and cursed energy pool into a single object, but either way his object of choice is his fingers. If Sukuna has already incarnated in a compatible vessel and hence gained conscience, other fingers will not be able to incarnate separate instances of Sukuna and will instead serve as nothing more than cursed energy stores. There is no evidence to suggest that Sukuna's power is restored logarithmically when reconvening with sundered fingers. Instead, he most likely gains back an equal amount of cursed energy for each object ingested.
  • Properties as an incarnated cursed object – After incarnating in a human vessel, Sukuna gains access to their memories, as he shares their brain when operating the body. The result of this is that extensively using his Jujutsu while in a vessel can leave an imprint on it in the form of cursed techniques. This is what enabled Yuji to learn Shrine after awakening with Black Flash. The reverse is also true, however, as Sukuna is more than capable of using the techniques of a body he is incarnated in to compliment his own. Lastly, completing the incarnation and manifesting his original form only replaces the body's external shell – any damage sustained to internal organs of the host will persist. This also means that even though full incarnation makes it more difficult, the cursed object and host can still be torn apart with enough brute force. This is what would have happened if Megumi had contributed to Yuta and Yuji's plan during chapter 251 were it not for his resolve being entirely squashed. Lastly and most bizarrely, Sukuna seems freely capable of deforming his vessels so long as he maintains control of their body, as he did in order to bite off Hana's right arm in chapter 213.

• Dismantle – The default slash Sukuna seems to prefer using. The technique sends an invisible slash or array of slashes flying through the air, cutting whatever it can reach until its cursed energy is exhausted. While it is extremely effective at decomposing inanimate objects and weaker humans, its potency is the lowest of any of Sukuna's techniques. As eloquently put in another comment, the reason Gojo's Six Eyes do not enable him to see Dismantle is because having the ability to perceive fluctuations at an atomic level means nothing if the fluctuations aren't visible – a microscope cannot make gravity visible no matter how close it zooms. Maki's heavenly restriction enables her to see the effect of the slash by the deformations it creates on the surface of air and surrounding objects, but she cannot see the slashes themselves.
  • The World-Splitting Dismantle – A version of Dismantle that, instead of throwing slashes at something, expands the intended target for the slash to the entire metaphysical space the target is located in. This allows it to bypass everything from cursed energy reinforcement to cursed techniques to any other conventional defense. No matter how resilient to attacks something is, if the space it occupies is bisected that thing will follow suit. The key word there is bisected, because the world-splitting Dismantle as we've seen it thus far can only cut in a single line. Net-shaped arrays like many of Sukuna's other uses of Dismantle are too complicated for this technique.
    • After learning the method to expand Dismantle's target, Sukuna would have been able to use the world-splitting Dismantle as long as he performed the Enmaten hand seal before launching it. However, in order to hit Gojo instantly without warning, he used a Binding Vow that would prevent him from ever using the slash again without the hand seal accompanied by the chants "Scale of the Dragon. Recoil. Twin Meteors." finally followed by pointing with his fingers the direction in which the slash should fly.
• Cleave – A technique that activates on physical contact with its target, automatically adjusting its output and frequency of slashes to cut them down in a single strike. The two main properties it accounts for are cursed energy reinforcement and physical toughness, the latter of which not usually being an issue for Sukuna. However, when his output is severely weakened as it was in Yuta's domain or when his target's cursed energy reinforcement is too high to overcome (Gojo's) Cleave will hit a limit and not be able to fully cut through the target.
  • Spider's Thread – A version of Cleave that spreads its slashes out into a spiderweb-shaped array and has been used only once in order to tear up a large portion of earth.
• Furnace – Known informally by many names such as "Black box," "Open," or "Fuga" before the reveal of its actual name, Furnace allows Sukuna to bring a small flame into reality between his palms which can then be aimed and fired at a target. Outside of his domain, Furnace has obscenely high firepower, easily outclassing Jogo's Disaster Flames, but can only be used against a single opponent at a time due to a Binding Vow that will be addressed later. Its speed also leaves much to be desired and works best in one-on-one standoff scenarios. The name of this technique confirms an already supported theory that Sukuna's Shrine is indeed a kitchen (reading the Kanji for Shrine helps confirm this).

• Sukuna's domain is the embodiment of his Shrine in pseudo-physical form that is the most technically impressive in the series. In its default form, Sukuna is capable of expanding a virtual landscape, that being his shrine, into reality without separating the two using a closed barrier. The result of this is a domain whose sure-hit exists within reality itself and not only the closed-off environment created inside a traditional barrier. The reason I specify that he does not use a closed barrier is because there is still a barrier present in Malevolent Shrine, but due to its functionality and shape it can be treated as if it does not exist at all. Inside the domain, objects with cursed energy are torn apart with Cleave adjusted to the appropriate intensity, while Dismantle ruthlessly attacks anything in range without cursed energy until it is reduced to dust. Just as when used outside of his domain, however, factors limiting Sukuna's output can allow someone to survive inside his domain provided they can recover from the wounds created faster than they propagate. Furthermore, while Sukuna generally prefers an open-barriered domain for its immense range and ability to crack the external shell of traditional domains, he is entirely capable of expanding it inside a closed barrier as most other sorcerers do.
  • Furnace's true power – After Cleave and Dismantle prepare the "ingredients" of the domain by reducing them to tiny particulate matter, Furnace's real capabilities are put on full display. By dropping it into the mass of dust kicked up by his slashes, Sukuna kickstarts a chain reaction wherein dust particles become thermobaric explosives (fire bombs), setting each other off in a domino effect that scorches everything in the domain and leaves no trace of life behind. In order to make use of this, however, Sukuna must maintain a specified range and output of his domain in order to generate sufficient amounts of dust to begin the reaction. Due to being unable to achieve these conditions during his clashes with Gojo, Furnace would have proven a less effective tool than Ten Shadows for dispatching him. It is also a very situational ability, as there are exceedingly few things that can survive the rain of slashes from Malevolent Shrine long enough that Furnace is even necessary.
  • Malfunctioning Shrine – After suffering critical trauma to the region of his brain responsible for maintaining barrier techniques, Sukuna was rendered incapable of expanding his domain for a long time after his fight with Gojo. However, landing multiple consecutive Black Flashes allowed him to build a new relay in his brain through which his barrier technique would operate. You can think of it like coming to a stop on a highway because of a major pileup in the middle of the road, and then plowing through trees in the ditch in order to continue moving along. This is not without its issues, however, as Sukuna was unwilling to sacrifice the quality of his domain in order to kill every one of his opponents simultaneously. By using new, unintended portions of his brain, the domain takes on a grossly disfigured appearance and suffers from instability to the degree that it cannot sustain itself for longer than 100 seconds. Additionally, the edge of the sure-hit range was covered by a barrier preventing escape from the domain, which removed the Binding Vow used in Shibuya to maximize its range but prevented the sorcerers from escaping without Todo's help.

• Partial Summons – By summoning a Shikigami on top of himself or in an incomplete manner, Sukuna can use its traits to his advantage in ways that include a rush of fluid Divine Dogs or Piercing Blood from Max Elephant's water. He mainly uses this for Mahoraga in a way that at first seems bizarre but proves critical to his victory against Gojo. Instead of forcing Mahoraga to take the damage for its adaptations, Sukuna bears the brunt of his opponent's techniques and has the wheel adapt to them, passing it on to Mahoraga who can then respond with a complete adaptation. In this case, Sukuna himself cannot make direct use of whatever adaptation results from the technique, but he can prevent Mahoraga from being taken out in one shot.
• Fusion Beast Agito – A totality Shikigami created using Nue, Great Serpent, Tranquil Deer, and Mourning Tiger that shares all of their properties, including electrifying strikes, regeneration of itself and others, and snake appendage creation. Its strength is unimpressive compared to Mahoraga's, but might have been one of Megumi's strongest Shikigami had he chosen to form it when he had the chance.

• Vows preventing the destruction of his fingers by any form of Jujutsu
• The former "enchain" vow with Yuji that allowed him to switch to Megumi's body
• It's assumed that the promise he made to Jogo before their fight functions like a Binding Vow
• An unnamed vow made with Kenjaku that enforced Sukuna fight Gojo before any final preparations are made, more than likely involving the merger and Kenjaku's insurance
• The vow restricting use on the world-splitting Dismantle in exchange for instantly bisecting Gojo
• Domain vows
  • By allowing an escape route from his domain, Sukuna can expand its range when the barrier is unclosed to up to a 200 meter radius
  • Several impromptu vows deployed in order to break Gojo's domain from the outside, including disabling his sure-hit inside Gojo's barrier and shrinking the size of Malevolent Shrine, both in order to increase its potency
  • Several unspecified vows that allowed the construction of his domain using a foreign region of the brain, one of which included the alteration of hand signs due to missing either of his left hands
  • In exchange for maximizing its domino effect inside his domain, Furnace may only be used against a single target outside his domain

• I live in Singapore [GMT+8], I am of mixed heritage.
  
• When I’m not working, I spend time with my cats, I go swimming and/or I am watching or reading anything that tickles my fancy. I make my own hours, and you’ll come to find me struggling to keep a routine sometimes.
  
• I love books, so if you would like to discuss or read together, you will be very fun company! (We can also do this with documentaries/shows too). I can game too, but rarely these days. *I rarely read fantasy. I mostly have been reading non-fiction and I love my occasional novels!
  
• I am an INTJ (though I’ve been typed as a INTP when I was younger..?), people seem interested in that but I’ve also seem to get along quite well with other INTJ/Ps, ENTJs and INFJ/P. So, that’s interesting.
  
• I’ll be as actively present as I can be, I would not ghost you if we decide to be friends. My preferred platform is Discord.
  
• I do not use social media, so do what you will with that information haha.
  
• I come with respect with a dash of goofiness and occasional unintentional aloofness.
  
• I may be a slow texter sometimes but I’m definitely paying attention and I will always be there.
  
• I am not diagnosed and don’t plan on having it checked out but majority of my friends believe I may have ADHD from how my thought process/communication/lifestyle is seen, so I’m just throwing it out there since you may be a potential friend of mine.

However, most populations consume more than recommended level.
A review of dietary salt intake in eight South Asian countries revealed that the mean salt intake is twice the WHO recommended intake, primarily from salt additions during cooking or discretionary use at table. In case of high -income countries with 75% coming from processed foods and meal prepared outside the house.

Look!!

• Reducing salt intake from 9-12 grams per day could significantly impact blood pressure and prevent up to 2.5 million deaths annually.
• The World Health Organization recommends salt reduction as a cost-effective intervention to prevent noncommunicable diseases.
• The meta-analysis of 36 studies with 49 comparisons found that decreased sodium intake resulted in a decrease in resting systolic blood pressure of 3.39 mmHg (95% confidence interval ).

Adults may experience various health issues, including blood pressure, mortality, cardiovascular disease, stroke, coronary heart disease, renal function, blood lipids, and catecholamine levels.
In children, potential adverse effects include blood pressure, blood lipids, and catecholamine levels.
Although , Iodized salt is crucial for brain development and mental function.

High sodium intake can lead to calcium loss through urine, bone weakness, and osteoporosis, especially in older adults and postmenopausal women, and can also overwhelm kidneys, requiring careful management.

• Become a Label-Reading Pro: Pay close attention to food labels. Look for the sodium content per serving and choose options lower in sodium.
• Embrace Fresh, Whole Foods: Fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains naturally contain minimal sodium. Build your meals around these healthy options.
• Cook More at Home: This allows you to control the amount of salt added to your dishes. Use herbs, spices, and other flavorings instead of relying solely on salt.
• Go Easy on Processed Foods: Processed foods, pre-packaged meals, and restaurant dishes are often loaded with sodium. Limit your intake of these options.
• Gradually Reduce Salt Intake: If you're accustomed to a saltier taste, gradually reduce the amount you add to your food over time. Your taste buds will adjust.
• Explore Salt Substitutes: Consider using potassium chloride-based salt substitutes. However, consult your doctor before using them if you have certain medical conditions, as increased potassium intake can be problematic in some cases.

1. Healing potions as a bonus action. Pretty common rule, most people use it.
   
2. Inspiration points can be used to re roll any of your OR your companions checks, if both parties agree
   
3. All backgrounds will be custom made, but we'll make em with you, so don't worry!
   
4. Exhaustion. Not exactly a rule change, just a clarification. This campaign uses the exhaustion mechanic, and we will be using the dnd 5e rule. Sorry y'all, I know it sucks!
   
5. The help action for skill checks require proficiency in said skill. If you don't have it, don't worry! You can still help! You'll need to roll said check, and if it's a 10 or up, they get advantage.
   
6. Death saves are private. I just feel it makes them scarier!
   
7. You tell me what you want to do, I'll tell you what to roll! Just makes it a bit easier for me to know what you're looking for.
   
8. You're free to play any weird combo you wanna play, just know it'll raise their cr as well as yours. This doesn't mean I'm okay with players actively trying to break the game, I'm just okay with people enjoying min maxing as long as it doesn't cause a problem with any of the other players. If it causes them to get bored because you're doing all the killing, well need to change something! Everyone wants to play
