Over the years, the Jujutsu Kaisen fanbase has raised numerous questions and theories, but one stands out in particular: “Is Sukuna Mexican?”This query has gained traction on social media, particularly within the TikTok community (known for the popular “Lobotomy Kaisen”meme trend), where the rumor has been created and spread.
According to a recent rumor about Jujutsu Kaisen, Gege Akutami, the creator, author, and illustrator of the original manga series, supposedly stated in an interview that Sukuna is of Mexican descent. However, further research outside of TikTok has failed to uncover any evidence or confirmation of this statement from Akutami.
Despite the numerous videos explicitly referencing the Jujutsu Kaisen author’s statement, there is still confusion surrounding the validity of the claim that Sukuna is Mexican. Fortunately, there is a definitive answer that can be deduced from both the available source material and the lack of verification for this assertion.
The rise of the “Is Sukuna Mexican?”meme in the Jujutsu Kaisen community
As previously mentioned, all available evidence suggests that Sukuna is not of Mexican descent. Additionally, the supposed interview with Gege Akutami cannot be located online and has not been referenced in a credible or reliable manner by those making these assertions.
Moreover, the most incriminating evidence is the abundance of source material confirming Sukuna’s Japanese origins. This is evident in the fact that the Jujutsu Kaisen character, Ryomen Sukuna, is heavily influenced by Japanese folklore, solidifying his Japanese identity.
Despite the fact that many flashbacks have shown Sukuna’s presence in Japan and his recognition by Japanese sorcerers throughout history, it is important to note that Yorozu’s flashback is particularly significant. It highlights Sukuna’s existence during the Heian era in Japan and how he was highly esteemed and worshipped as a god.
The significance of Hajime Kashimo’s flashback lies in its emphasis on Sukuna’s presence in Japanese history, solidifying his status as a revered legend among jujutsu sorcerers. If Sukuna had been viewed as a foreigner, Hajime’s flashback would have likely highlighted this aspect, emphasizing his uniqueness and explaining Hajime’s motivation to battle him.
The comparison of Mahoraga to the Yamata no Orochi in the Shibuya Incident arc adds to the evidence supporting the claim of Sukuna’s birth and upbringing in Japan. Sukuna’s personal remark on the comparison further implies that he was familiar with the ancient Japanese mythical creature, further solidifying his connection to Japan.
Final thoughts
Despite everything mentioned, the evidence currently available disproves the assertion of Sukuna having Mexican heritage. The origins of this claim are uncertain, but it is worth noting that the same group of fans who initiated the “Lobotomy Kaisen”trend are also promoting this belief.
Considering this, it becomes even more apparent that the assertion is untrue and merely a current trend among a portion of the show’s fan base.
