Despite Sukuna being the most despised cursed spirit in Jujutsu Kaisen, Yorozu's actions demonstrate that he is not only capable of being loved but also capable of adding a hint of romance to the narrative. In Chapter 217, Sukuna, currently in control of Megumi Fushiguro's body, confronts Yorozu, an ancient sorcerer who had possessed Megumi's older sister, Tsumiki.
What sets this battle apart is the unique dynamic between Sukuna and Yorozu, resembling the pursuit and pursued relationship found in romantic comedy manga. Sukuna becomes the pursued, utilizing his cursed technique to resist Yorozu's advances, while Yorozu plays the role of the pursuer, desperately trying to win Sukuna's affection. This battle blends action with the essence of a typical rom-com, with Yorozu having waited a thousand years for this chance.
