kuna dyes his hair black after reader is always blabbering his ear off about how his hair is pink

warnings: none. mostly fluff and maybe a little misogynistic bc sukunas an old man.

staining your white marble sink with black hair dye wasn’t really sukunas initiative- after all it was sorta a spontaneous decision on his part. however its not like sukuna cared enough. your sink wasn’t the only thing stained, your favorite fluffy towels were also drenched in his muddy hair dye.

“s’kuna? im home!”

hearing the sound of your voice from down the stairs startled him. would you be mad that he made a mess? truthfully this was really all your fault in the first place! maybe if you weren’t so gushy about his pink hair then he wouldn’t have gotten rid of it!

“sukuna! are you dead? helloooo!”

the house was silent except for a few shuffles coming from the bathroom. perhaps he was taking a shit? “m’in here. don’t come in just yet.” he groaned through the door, leaning his heavy body onto the wood. sukuna cursed under his breath as he dried off his hair, not only were there specks of black dye everywhere, his hands were also stained. but god did he look dam good.

smirking to himself, sukuna emerged from the bathroom, as confident and cocky as ever. as if the curse didn’t just stain ur expensive marble sink.

a sharp gasp from behind him made his little grin widen. “your hair! what did you do!” sukuna turned, facing me. “ya like it?” pouting, your hands found themselves on him. “your pink hair…” sukuna grinned, letting you lean on him. “got rid of it- always pestering me little brat.”

he hated the color pink. it was a “girls” color to him. to you, your boyfriend practically looked drool worthy in anything, even if your most favorite thing about him was gone. it took a few questions to realize the curse was still talking to you. “yeah you like it brat.” he smirked, easily lifting you into his arms. “when’re you gonna dye it back..” he smirked, squeezing you teasingly. sukuna is sure he’ll get you used to it.

Ainu appearance in JJK - Sukuna, tattoos, and the Inumaki clan (and Yaga Masamichi & bears)

A bit of background before we get more into it:

The Ainu (“human” or “people”) are an indigenous people in Japan native to the regions of Hokkaidō, Northern Tōhoku, and Karafuto, among others. As part of their ancestral tradition, Ainu women had the custom of getting tattoos on their bodies, including their lips. For the Ainu, the tattoo was perceived as a symbol of beauty, a talisman and an indispensable tool to prepare their body for after death. However, the traditional tattoo was legally prohibited by the Japanese government in 1871, in an attempt to force Ainu to follow a “Japanese lifestyle”. As the result, Ainu women reduced the use of tattoos on their bodies, progressively changing their concept of beauty and losing an important part of their ancestral tradition.

…the Ainu people were stripped of their land, customs, and language in hopes that they would assimilate to Japanese culture. It wasn't until 1997 that this law was lifted and the Ainu people were allowed to practice their own customs again, but by that time, much of the damage was done. 

https://www.tofugu.com/japan/ainu-japan/

I am building off of this analysis about Sukuna's tattoos which I'd read before but just recently watched the linked yt vid and I'm 

Going insane bc the Ainu tattoo process involves slicing and burning (Sukuna's CT…) 

And the style looks a lot like sukuna's... in color, thickness, geometry... The focus of bands and circles, on the face and arms...

There is also resemblance to inumaki's marks. I wonder if that clan is related... Along with Sukuna, Wasuke (grandpa) and Yuuji Itadori, (and Heian Uraume) their hair is thick, wavy, above the shoulder, and lighter in color. I don't think we ever see Toge write - his preference for speaking could be another hint, with the Ainu language being spoken.

For the sake of staying focused and not spreading misinformation (iirc cursed speech users are supposed to be killed as soon as they're noticed), for now I'm thinking that the inumaki clan assimilated into Japanese culture, possibly hiding, denying, or forgetting their background - but most likely forced into submitting to jujutsu headquarters, who fear the inumaki clan, instead of considering them as one of the major 3. (the Ainu were not legally recognized as a people until 2018, so their rejection from jujutsu politics just seems to fit).

I've only found this photo of Sukuna's outfit irl (innate domain), but pretty much every Ainu character has the same piece in Golden Kamuy - and the colors are the same.

The Ainu language being polysynthetic makes it even more convincing that Sukuna intentionally addressed Gojo as husband.  

I wonder if sukuna preferred to use their CT for more peaceful, creative purposes (there were all those comments about slicing fish, the malevolent kitchen, not to mention their interest in flowers and poetry etc etc). 

The tattoos could have significance in preparing the body for death - which feels relevant, considering how they always show in any form Sukuna takes, and at times when Yuuji is still fronting (after eating a finger). 

They could be symbols of beauty, or coming of age. 

To go along with the trans Sukuna evidence - Ainu men grew beards, and the women got tattoos. 

The use of tattoos as a talisman is interesting - the way that Geto saw Gojo as his talisman, that Sukuna said “love is worthless”, the way that some of them look like eyes - which would give sukuna six eyes (and convinced me that jjk would end with Gojokuna). I wonder if it was partially out of hypervigilance, or to enhance observation - Sukuna's edge was the ability to analyze and adapt faster than anyone else.

They might have been a method of protection from trafficking. There is some historical evidence of enslavement. Forced assimilation and relocation certainly happened during Sukuna's lifetime.

The Ainu people were from the northeast island.

Iirc, Heian events of jjk were around Kyoto (I'll have to read again so pls correct me here) - or at least, Sukuna's appearances are not in Hokkaido, but further west.

As a side note, it was the northeast part of the sea where Momotaro was going to fight demons, which kenjaku (who I blame for history remembering sukuna as a demon) and Gojo (who always wanted to fight sukuna) mentioned… Idk if this has any connection, but I think about it (the theme of momotaro vs momotetsu, mainly).  

This mentions a means of preventing evil spirits from entering the body through the mouth. The same source has a historical timeline, up until today (which is interesting and worth reading):

I'll add this screenshot if you want a bit more Heian context:

Since their tattoos were criminalized in the Meiji era, we know less about the practice and significance now. There could have been a lot of style evolution over the hundreds of years since the Heian era. 

Some part of me wonder if Sukuna's tattoos were originally the bands with space in between (one more reason to prefer megkuna over true form), but were filled in later as a mark of ownership. Uro isn't a perfect reference with her CT, but she is always wearing that choker, which feels similar. Idk, the solid ones around true form Sukuna's wrists and ankles read like shackles to me. 

We know from that brief moment in JJK0 that Ainu sorcerers exist in-universe, and it sounds like they work separately from jujutsu headquarters - only contacted as a last resort. We don't get to know what their CTs are like, but I reread JJK0 looking for anyone with a burning or slicing CT during the parade. It doesn't look like the Ainu Jujutsu Society showed up, but there wasn't much in the manga compared to the movie.

This instrument (tonkuri) looks So Familiar (it sounds rly cool, the artist has more chill & acoustic music out also on bandcamp, soundcloud etc), I swear it was shown in the manga. (one more thing to look for on read 4… if anyone finds this, or has anything to correct or elaborate on, please go ahead).

Additional thoughts are the way that Sukuna's talk about the fish, slicing, mincing, plant identification etc etc it just. Idk if I'm reading too much into this but looking up Ainu foods are like??? Ok I see what you did gege.

Also, from the yt vid that drove me to look into this - Mayunkiki's introduction.

My name is Mayun Kiki. Mayun refers to the clanking sound of metal in Ainu, which is thought to be a noble sound in our culture.

Kiki means "scratching everywhere" and I was given this name as I have a habit of scratching myself.

The clanking sound of metal being noble...

And thank you to @thepersonperson for giving me so much to think about in all those meta analysis posts

Eta; Masamichi Yaga and bears (Panda)

The Ainu people worshipped bears, and at times sacrificed them to release the spirit. But first, the young bear is raised almost like a human child.

While Yaga has made a wide range of creatures, it is interesting that Panda is always sacrificing himself without hesitation, and that Yuuji spent the most time with the bear (i thought the green one, Kathy, is based on the Kappa).

So I can't say anything with certainty, but Yaga also has thick hair and deep-set eyes, and facial hair so... The way he worked with the bear spirit and raised Panda as his own child,, it's there right?

And in jjk0, Yaga made the call to contact the Ainu sorcerers - this is the only time we hear that name in the series (at least in the manga, I haven't finished the light novels yet).

One way that the Ainu were similar to the Japanese is in the way of religion. The Ainu, just like the Japanese people, were animists and believed that all things are inhabited by spirits known as kamuy. While there are many gods in Ainu belief, one of the most important is known as Kim-un Kamuy, or the god of bears and the mountains. All animals are thought to be the manifestations of gods on Earth in Ainu culture, however, the bear is believed to be the head of gods and is therefore known as kamuy, or "God."

Yaga being, by far, the leading expert on cursed corpse sorcery...

Traditionally, the Ainu sacrificed bears in order to release the kamuy within them to the spirit world. One tradition, called lotame, involves the raising of a young bear cub as if it were an Ainu child and then sacrificing once it has come of age.

Tell me this is not about Panda.

[moncher-ire]

quick rant!! (slight jjk spoilers for Chapter 212) people who sexualize yujikuna or megkuna (not talking abt the ships rn.) are fucking DISGUSTING!! that is still a minors body and i dont wanna hear “b-but the face shape c-change-“ NO i dont fucking care. it doesnt change the fact that is a body of a MINORR “im a minor too!!” doesn’t excuse the fact you ARE sexualizing a CHILD.

megumi and yuji are STRAIGHT out of middle school fucking think about that for a second. it is completely disgusting the things people say about them. even when sukunas not in their body. fucking grow up. this is DISTURBING and WEIRD.

this goes for any minor jjk character too. idc if in your opinion they look older then they are, they are STILL minors.

this also goes for shipping PROSHIPS

adult x minor IS NOT okay. even if your not sexualizing it its plain WRONG.

dni if your okay with this

(i don't have problems with ships like itafushi or other ships with minors and other minors as long as its not sexual.)

[gojothekidsmissyou]

I've been having art block recently, I've been drawing still, but I can't colour/shade (it's my least favorite step). In celebration of 2025, I'm posting the unfinished pieces from 2024 that I hope to finish soon.

First two are for my JJK photo booth challenge series. Then we have Megumi!Sukuna, Toji Fushiguro, and Uro (for the manga onlys)

Being a fan of Sukuna fics has to be stressful because when you're reading, are you imagining this guy

This guy

Or the original

PICK A FACE, BRO

[hermitw]

😐😐😐😐😐 you can write this off as overthinking but I'm going to say it anyway bc akcjaifnakxkamdlsmcn (based on solid black being a color of purity during the Heian era)

[manga spoilers ahead]

thinking about Sukuna wearing the solid black kimono in every Heian flashback, but dressed in white since then... except for the shirt underneath.

I made posts before about Sukuna's nails - how they were always black, until megkuna, and that I think Sukuna felt so corrupted for continuing the cycle of abuse by possessing Fushiguro without his permission.

and about Gojo's influence on his students' uniforms - but all that's relevant here is how Yuuta wore a white jacket to match Rika (a curse who's outside of him), and Yuuji with a red hood and shirt underneath (and shoes) to represent Sukuna - who's contained within Yuuji, and as far as they knew, could not be separated.

sukuna and gojo were always obsessed w each other so I kind of expect Sukuna to follow this... wearing a black shirt to represent Fushiguro, underneath the white outfit.

😐😐😐😐😐😐

Anyway since we're here I'll go on about the innate domain outfit too.

maybe Sukuna doesn't want to show Yuuji his true form, or maybe Yuuji has influence on how Sukuna appears (basing this logic on Yuuji's domain). we don't ever see sukuna wear that irl, not even in Heian flashbacks (but I think he might have worn it earlier, when it would have fit.) either way, I'm 99% sure that Sukuna was Ainu. recently a friend suggested I watch Golden Kamuy, which has a lot of Ainu characters and that outfit is the most common one. mostly white, with the blue, it's the same thing. (at this point I'm making a list of weirdly similar things between that and jjk, it's so funny tbh)

Anyway! it's Sukuna's innate domain, and that's still an inherent part of his identity, despite all the "I'm not a human I'm a curse" narrative. sometimes I imagine sukuna like gaara, both unwanted (so they've been told) children giving themselves tattoos (the Ainu method involves burning and slicing).

[jjk-confessions]

“And if Gégé wanted to create Tsumiki x Megumi fanservice... He would've used Tsumiki and Megumi. They don't even look like their real self. That's getting ridiculous.”

Yeah, the fan service was already there cause gege didn’t confirm that was his Megumi’s sister until the curse incident at the bridge. For all people know, Tsumiki could've been his girlfriend he was imagining for so many chapters. Everyone forgets gege made Megumi say his type of person is someone like his sister and made him picture her in his mind. It would've been better that he didn't think of her. Who imagines their sibling as their type? Y'all also choose to forget this because everyone says that the meaning of Yuji’s name is the definition of what he described to Todo. (I believe this too cause itfs is cute.) But, come on his entire reason for living revolved around her. There could've been a possibility he had a sister complex and maybe Mai did too. It’s probably a zenin thing. But it’s not Megumi’s or Mai’s fault it’s their writers. gege knows what he’s doing, jjk has a lot of dark themes. He didn't have to make Tsumiki be Yorozu’s vessel and make her lovestruck over Megkuna, but he chose to. It’s gross.
