| Info | It is unknown for how long exactly, but jujutsu has existed for thousands of years, for as long as curses have roamed the Earth. The Heian Era, one thousand years ago when Ryomen Sukuna reigned supreme, is considered the "Golden Age of Jujutsu". Sukuna has described jujutsu sorcerers to have produced powerful fighters in every era. In a never-ending war between sides utilizing jujutsu, a society of organized humans with the ability to fight curses has formed. In the modern era, Jujutsu Headquarters and the Big Three Sorcerer Families currently control the landscape of their community. The Big Three Sorcerer Families have existed since the Heian Era and have maintained their prominence thanks to powerful cursed techniques that are passed down through their families. The culture within these clans are obsessed with bloodline purity and passing down these inherited techniques. In many cases, inheriting the clan's most coveted technique will automatically promote an individual to become the next head of the clan. Jujutsu sorcerers currently are recruited and trained through the two jujutsu educational facilities in Tokyo and Kyoto. Both schools are considered to be the pillars of the jujutsu community alongside headquarters. As the population increases in Japan, so does the strength of curses. The only thing keeping them in check are the crown jewels of the Gojo clan: the Six Eyes and the Limitless technique. Satoru Gojo is the first person in several hundred years to be born with boths, making him a near-unstoppable force. As cursed spirits increased so did the prominence of curse users, who used their abilities to curse others and exploit them for power. With Gojo's birth, the balance of the jujutsu world shifted the advantage back to the sorcerers dedicated to protecting humanity. Jujutsu can also dictate fate by binding destinies together. The Six Eyes is connected to Tengen and the Star Plasma Vessel by this type of "fate". Regardless of any outside interference, the Star Plasma Vessel and the Six Eyes would always appear on the day of Tengen's merger. Toji Fushiguro, an anomaly that had broken away from jujutsu completely, was able to shatter their destinies. This was the beginning of what would become a massive distortion in the jujutsu world. Sukuna has been incarnated in Yuji Itadori. Kenjaku was able to acquire Prison Realm and form an alliance with powerful unregistered cursed spirits to seal Satoru Gojo. He's attempting to find what goes beyond the limits of the connection between humans and cursed energy. Using the Culling Game, Kenjaku plans to evolve humanity into something beyond jujutsu sorcerers and cursed spirits. The Culling Game is jujutsu terrorism on a scale never seen before in history, and Kenjaku is using it to usher in the return of the Golden Age of Jujutsu. |
