Despite the unsatisfactory manner in which Sukuna was defeated in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 268, a recent fan edit featuring the series’ antagonist with a Pokémon series template has brought laughter to the fandom. This fan art has injected new energy into the community, following the demise of the King of Curses.
The Jujutsu Kaisen x Pokémon fan edit was a creative take on the guessing game that the latter series features during their half-episode breaks. It involved revealing a silhouette of a creature and then showing its identity, similar to the game in the original series. This particular edit showcased Sukuna’s form after he was brutally defeated by Fushigoro Megumi, resulting in a humorous reaction from the entire anime community. In fact, one user on X even referred to the creature as…
“Sukuna the pookie.”

What is the Fan Edit About?
After the first half of the episode, the Pokémon anime presents a game called Who’s That Pokémon? This segment displays a shadow of one of the pocket monsters before taking a break. Upon its return, the pocket monster shown in the silhouette is revealed.
A user named X utilized the template of Who’s That Pokémon? but instead of using pocket monsters, they opted to use a blob of meat in the silhouette. This unique choice revealed the true form of the King of Curses, Sukuna, without a vessel in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 268. The creature was aptly named ‘Pookuna’ by the user.
Reactions to the JJK fandom’s reaction to the edit
As anticipated, the entire JJK fandom participated in the festivities and mocked Sukuna’s weakest form. While some fans joked about wanting to capture Sukuna with a pokéball – the tool used to catch pocket monsters – one fan suggested that this glob of flesh, the King of Curses, could be considered a new addition to the world of pocket monsters.
Upon further observation, a fan noticed the striking resemblance between Sukuna’s blob form and that of a non-human character called Numemon from Digimon Adventures. Despite the fact that the Digimon character was not originally human, the comparison to the ultimate villain in the JJK series was still deemed amusing.
Many X users participated in all the fun by sharing their comments.
“Gotta catch pookuna,” a fan said .
“A new generation of pokemon nice,”another fan claimed.
“Lol where is the poke ball,”one X user said.
“It’s Numamon,”another person claimed.
“Poopemon? ???”commented a user.
“They Did my king Dirty,”said another fan.
Final Thoughts
The online fandom’s labeling of Sukuna’s downfall as ‘controversial’ is the reason behind the recent trolling of his blob form. Despite this, it should be noted that the King of Curses displayed immense strength during the final battle against Jujutsu High and the consequences of his actions serve as evidence of his destructive power during his reign.
The King of Curses was responsible for the deaths of numerous sorcerers, among them Gojo Satoru, who was once known as the strongest sorcerer until Sukuna’s rebirth. Furthermore, Sukuna inflicted fatal injuries on several of the most powerful sorcerers in the community.
Despite significantly altering the Jujutsu Society, Sukuna is often remembered by the fandom solely for his final moments, highlighting the tendency to overlook characters’ growth and development.
