The Mysterious Age of Sukuna Revealed: Unveiling the Powerhouse of Jujutsu Kaisen
Sukuna, the formidable antagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, emerges as one of the series' most ancient characters, rivaled only by Tengen With his recent triumph over Hajime Kashimo, fans unequivocally acknowledge Sukuna as the paramount powerhouse in the narrative
Following Sukuna's triumph over Hajime Kashimo in the most recent chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, fans are now wholeheartedly proclaiming him to be the strongest character in the series. Although this assertion is yet to be validated, as Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma are slated to confront him in the upcoming fights, fans are astounded by Sukuna's overwhelming power and expertise.
Simultaneously, Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts have developed a heightened curiosity about Sukuna's character, particularly his origins which date back several centuries to pre-feudal era Japan.
Although series author and illustrator Gege Akutami has provided limited information, fans of Jujutsu Kaisen have managed to uncover fascinating clues and subtle hints. One particularly captivating aspect for fans is Sukuna's age, which remains unspecified within the series. Nevertheless, through flashbacks and insights into the origins of other significant characters, fans have been able to deduce the possible earliest appearance of Sukuna.

Jujutsu Kaisen and its author Gege Akutami have not given an official age for Sukuna in the current point of the series. However, there are hints and information about Sukuna and other characters that suggest a minimum age for him. According to the unofficial series wiki, which is known for its reliable and accurate information, Sukuna is believed to be at least 1000 years old. This aligns with what most fans remember from the series, as one thousand years ago would correspond to the later part of the Heian era.
Sukuna's existence during the Heian era is confirmed by Yorozu's flashback, which exposed her as Sukuna's victim in her previous life.
Considering Sukuna's evident survival, his age can be estimated to be at least 1000 years. The Jujutsu Kaisen wiki's assertion of his exact age likely derives from additional subtle clues that specifically link him to the Heian era.

However, there are a few aspects to take into account concerning Sukuna's age, particularly in relation to this Yorozu flashback. Judging from the dialogue and context clues provided, it appears that Sukuna had already gained enough recognition and reputation to be considered someone deserving of prayers.
Sukuna already had the loyal Uraume by his side, implying that he was born at least a decade earlier. This suggests that it would have taken approximately ten years for him to gain his respected status and gather a substantial following.
In the flashback, he appears to be familiar with this status, providing additional evidence of the passing of time until that moment. Considering that Uraume has managed to avoid aging over the past thousand-plus years, it is reasonable to assume that Sukuna has also found a way to stop or delay his own aging process.
Sukuna, the character in Jujutsu Kaisen, is believed to be at least 1,010 years old, and potentially even older due to the utilization of a Cursed Technique or a distinct application of Reverse Cursed Technique.
