imagine the reason why he doesn't have wife and kids it's bc he ate them accidentally.......

If anything, Sukuna would’ve eaten them on purpose. I do say this as a joke. But it should be noted that Heian commoner life was likely full of famine and starvation. Cannibalism as a response to that is inevitable.

Directly quoting this amazing thread:

“We rarely have such specific records about peasants as that petition. We mostly have big-picture data like looking at references to famines and plagues in official chronicles. Environmental data has been used to fill out the gaps in these records and shows an alarmingly high rate of drought in Heian Japan. In his book Daily Life and Demographics in Ancient Japan, William Wayne Farris looks at population trends across the Heian period. Based on environmental data and historical records, he determines that brutal spring famines swept through rural communities an average of every three years. Mortality rates were very high, with between 55% and 62% of people dying before the age of 5. Life expectancies for those who survived childhood were age 40 for women and 38 for men. (These figures come from household registers which stopped being made after the early 8th century.)”

Eating his twin to survive. And possibly eating his mother to survive too. There’s something more to this outside of Sukuna just being evil. All the other antagonists’ upbringings/trauma directly affect how their brand of evil functions. He shouldn’t be any different I think.
