Origin[]
Ryomen Sukuna also known as Two-Headed Mummy, is a legendary figure in Japanese folklore and urban legends. This mythical creature is said to be a mummified being with two heads, known for his malevolent nature and extraordinary magical abilities. He was a powerful and malevolent sorcerer who lived during the Heian period (794-1185) in Japan. He was known for his extraordinary magical abilities and his insatiable thirst for power. It is said that he committed numerous atrocities and wreaked havoc wherever he went.
The story goes that Ryomen Sukuna was eventually captured by a group of brave warriors who sought to put an end to his reign of terror. They managed to defeat him in a fierce battle and decided to seal his spirit within a mummy to prevent him from causing any further harm. The mummified body was then buried deep underground in a secret location.
However, despite being sealed away, it is believed that Ryomen Sukuna's malevolent spirit still lingers within the mummy. According to urban legends, those who encounter the mummy or disturb its resting place may face dire consequences. It is said that anyone who dares to touch or open the tomb of Ryomen Sukuna will be cursed with misfortune or even death.
