Sukuna's Utilization of Black Flash Examined in Jujutsu Kaisen

The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen has just ended, leaving fans eager to dive into the manga chapters for more thrilling action. Many are captivated by the seemingly unstoppable Sukuna, as every attempt to thwart him has failed. A topic of interest among fans is whether Sukuna uses Black Flash in Jujutsu Kaisen. The answer is no; Sukuna does not use Black Flash in the series.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Sukuna's abilities and potential reason for not using Black Flash

After discovering that Sukuna has not utilized the Black Flash in the manga, the question arises: is he capable of using it? Given the simplicity of the technique compared to others, the King of Curses most likely has the ability to harness the immense destructive power of the Black Flash.

However, the only obstacle to performing the technique is the need for intense concentration. The user must channel cursed energy in just one-millionth of a second after impact, resulting in a distinctive black-colored glow that significantly enhances the force of the attack.

Sukuna being the King of Curses makes it easy for him to execute the technique. Even though we have not seen Sukuna perform the Black Flash in Jujutsu Kaisen, it is likely that he can do so, given his centuries of existence. The reason we haven't seen it is likely because he has other, more effective techniques at his disposal.

If we consider the variations of slashing techniques such as Cleave, Spiderweb, and Dismantle, they could prove to be far more effective. By removing cleave from the equation, Sukuna wouldn't even have to come into contact with the enemy to use these weapons, keeping him safe from enemy attacks while simultaneously dealing damage.

Sukuna’s Domain Expansion is a feared element in the Jujutsu Kaisen series, unlike other domains in the series it does not create barriers but instead utilizes a Binding Vow to increase the radius of a guaranteed hit. The clash of Sukuna’s Domain Expansion with Gojo’s Unlimited Void destroys its outer shell, a testament to its strength. Additionally, Sukuna is skilled in the Reverse Cursed Technique, allowing him to heal from life-threatening attacks. He also wields Cursed Tools in the manga series. With such a formidable arsenal, Sukuna has little need for the Black Flash technique, which may be why it hasn't been seen in battle.

Editor's P/S

As an enthusiastic fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I was intrigued by the article's exploration of Sukuna's untapped potential and the absence of Black Flash in the second season. The analysis of Sukuna's abilities and the reasons behind his non-utilization of Black Flash provided valuable insights into the character's immense power and strategic choices.

I found it particularly interesting to consider the possibility that Sukuna may possess the ability to use Black Flash but chooses not to due to his mastery of other, more effective techniques. The discussion of Sukuna's variations of slashing techniques, Domain Expansion, and Reverse Cursed Technique highlighted his diverse and formidable arsenal, making the Black Flash technique seem less necessary in comparison. This perspective adds depth to Sukuna's character and showcases the complexity of his combat abilities.
