Sukuna’s true form is a demon with two faces and two sets of eyes. He also has four hands, making for a total of 20 fingers, and has a brutish muscular build. Sukuna’s real form enabled him to wrought evil back in the day, but after his physical body was killed, he now relies on taking control of others to operate.
Sukuna Original Form
Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen first got a glimpse of Sukuna’s original form in chapter 117 of the manga. The next time that they would see him was in chapter 181. These sightings whetted the appetites of fans but did not satisfy them, as Sukuna was only shown in passing without him performing any action.
It is not until the 219th chapter did we get a mildly satisfying appearance from Sukuna but it was also a flashback to the days when he was truly active in his element. During this time, and as active as he was, he had to exist by taking the form of other people who he took control of their bodies. This is probably one of the reasons why fans of the show are not very conversant with his original form.
So if we are to give you a full description of Sukuna’s original form, we will say it is a huge demon who has very pronounced and ripped physique, with two faces, two eyes where one eye is under the other, and one set is more active than the other and the inactive one hardly comes open. Then there is his very spikey hair, and distinct markings along his cheeks, nose, and chest area that make him stand out like only he can. Other markings on his body include the big black lines along his wrists, arms, and shoulders. His original form is very appealing and interesting to look upon.
Ok so I’ve seen a ton of people surprised by Sukuna’s “true” form in chapter 181 but Gege already showed us how he looks in the chapter 117 color page
Maybe he looked somewhat different before he turned into a curse tho pic.twitter.com/SOaeDMfcsO

What is Sukuna’s Real Form?
Sukuna is the major antagonist in Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Jujutsu Kaisen is set in a world where human beings have negative emotions that birth curses and evil spiritual beings especially if they are not put under control and this is done by powerful sorcerers like Sukuna. That was until he veered off, lost control, and reverted to using the powers he should use for good to accumulate over 1000 evil curses and do evil things.
This forced other sorcerers to join hands together to kill him off, but before they managed to do this, he sealed off his power in 20 fingers. Therefore, even though Sukuna’s physical body was killed, his spirit still continued hovering, taking control of various bodies to achieve his nefarious purposes. Some of those that he took control of include Yuji, the protagonist, as well as Megumi Fushiguro.
It is at this stage of Sukuna taking control of people that the story in Jujutsu Kaisen begins. Therefore, it is hard to decipher his real form until the various flashbacks in the manga. These flashbacks show that Sukuna’s real form is a demon with four arms and two faces, and two sets of eyes. He has a huge and muscular build, a head decorated with spikey hair of a fiery red color, and some bold markings of different sizes and shapes all over.

What to Know About Sukuna Hands
Since every character in the series was particularly designed to be distinct and different the other, it is not surprising that Sukuna has hands that are very different from those of all the other demons. His arm ends in four separate hands that have five fingers each that all make up the twenty fingers.
He is later ambushed and attacked, but before he is killed, Sukuna seals away his powers in 20 fingers. It is these stored powers in these fingers that make it possible for him to entertain the thought of making a comeback someday in the future. Sukuna has black circles on his shoulder and black bold lines on his hands which are also filled with rippling muscles.
