Sukuna is Pulling His Fire Arrow Technique from the CURSED REALM

This is going to be longer than my usual theories, but it's worth it (I think). So many chills incoming.

The Cursed Realm is a “space between dreams and reality” sorcerers and cursed spirits mainly perceive as they are
dying.

For humans, it is darkness. For cursed spirits, it is light.

The Cursed Realm stores soul information (and is possibly where souls reside too).

The scene where Sukuna talks to Itadori within his inner domain occurs within the Cursed Realm. A sorcerer’s inner
domain is simply their conceptualization of the cursed realm, and Domain Expansion is the forced manifestation of the
cursed realm into reality. That’s why Sukuna calls it “true Jujutsu.”

When Sukuna said “Black Box, Open,” he is actually opening the cursed realm and pulling stored soul information into
himself. He gains soul information by consuming human bodies/souls, which is the physical tether needed to essentially
“incarnate” that soul into his body. Because the souls of cursed spirits are not permanent (they experience
reincarnation, in which they’re made of the same energy but with different souls), Sukuna says a cursed spirit wouldn’t
“get it.”

We've now (arguably) seen the Cursed Realm 4 times: First it was with Jogo (Sukuna pops in), then Mai/Maki, then
Kenjaku/Itadori's classmate, and finally Panda/his siblings. As Kenjaku said, it's the "space between dreams and reality,"
which suggests that it is not a physical plane of existence but is instead a way for humans and cursed spirits to
conceptualize the moments before death/passing on (and perhaps beyond?).
Note: The scene where Panda's siblings are "left behind" is not a flashback. The backstory part is, but once Gorilla falls
asleep and the scene transitions, they are in new territory. Yaga clearly discusses Gorilla's death, and I doubt he's ever
separated him from Panda before.

Here are a few things we know:

For humans, it is darkness. For cursed spirits, it is light.

Cursed spirits reincarnate. They are literal energy very much akin to light, so for them death is merely a step in the cycle.
Perhaps this is why Hanami, Dagon, and Jogo were framed in a pure white backdrop, ready to take the next stretch of
their journey together.

For humans, death is the end (unless some granny brings you back). Panda and his brother and sister are human. "To
create an independent cursed corpse, a sorcerer must replicate soul information from physical information, then input
that into cursed corpse cores." They were created from human souls, so must suffer a human death. Indeed, we see
Panda's brother and sister being left behind, dragged deeper into death by their "dad," who has glasses and facial hair
similar to Principal Yaga (perhaps how they saw him when they were young?). Interestingly, Gorilla fall unconscious,
dreaming of nothing but darkness before suddenly waking up in the woods near his childhood home, which is
presumably a place of comfort, just like Mai falls unconscious through dark water before awakening on a tranquil beach,
also a place of comfort. It's the same pattern. Upon death/near death, you experience disconnect before waking up in a
familiar location. Then, you have to leave that location. Gorilla was dragged away. Mai walked into the waves and was
swept outward to sea.

2. The Cursed Realm stores Soul Information.

Hanami giving Jogo new information he cannot possibly know proves that this is actually Hanami's soul and not a
figment of Jogo's imagination.

This one seems obvious in hindsight. We clearly see the recently deceased Hanami and Dagon talking to Jogo, ready to
move on together, and we also see some form of Principal Yaga (perhaps just his soul with no body). Moreover, Granny
Ogami must be pulling soul information from somewhere. Her technique essentially allows her to perform full or partial
incarnation (she chooses partial because she only wants the "body" and not the "personality").

This is very similar to Kenjaku's ability, which is essentially to incarnate into another sorcerer's body, replacing their
brain/agency/"personality" with his own (though Kenjaku does mention that since, "body=soul" for him, he somehow
gets the person's memories and a measure of their personality.)

Perhaps Kenjaku was even the one to pioneer artificial incarnation, but what is clear is that he is an expert in the field,
the one that every sorcerer went to for their incarnation needs. He may also be the only one who can traverse the
Cursed Realm in what seems to be its "natural form" (insert picture here), and, more crucially, bring people alongside
with him.
It's important to note that both Ogami (sometimes) and Kenjaku use physical corpses or body parts to incarnate long-
dead sorcerers into modern humans (Sukuna etc.). What they want is the soul information, but the body, the tether, is
needed to access it. This makes sense with what we've seen of the cursed realm. Souls don't seem to stay put. For
Kenjaku to reliably get them back, he would need some sort of connection to them.

3. Sukuna can access the Cursed Realm.

Let's start simple: Gege presents Sukuna as a being with a number of "unexplained" abilities, such as the power to exist
separately from Itadori, change his soul information to create mouths and eyes etc., block an unblock able Idle
Transfiguration delivered via Domain Expansion, linger for a long period of time after death, and, of course, the ability to
use a Cursed Technique that does not seem to be his own. In fact, every one of his appearances includes him displaying
some previously unheard of ability that even Gojo cannot use: Gege is obviously setting up for some huge reveal.

So why exactly is Sukuna the King of Curses?

Well, let's hypothesize. According to the wiki, "Sukuna's soul is able to exist independently within Yuji's body by residing
within his Innate Domain." Why does Sukuna need to do this? Because Yuji's soul is STRONG. The guy's like Maki and Toji
—in fact, we literally see Toji overwhelm/push out another sorcerer's soul when Granny Ogami incarnates him (very
similar to what old sorcerers do to modern humans). The only time Sukuna is in control is when Yuji either lets him have
it, or when Yuji eats too many Sukuna fingers—which is essentially the overwhelming introduction of more soul
information. It's possible that 20 finger Sukuna will be able to contend with or even defeat Yuji, but that remains to be
seen. For now, the fact that Sukuna is alive is a miracle. Or is it?

Here's a twist: that scene where Sukuna talks to Itadori in his inner domain after his "death?" That actually takes place in
the Cursed Realm. We can infer this based on a few context clues. One, Itadori cannot physically be within himself, so
the Itadori we see must be his soul. Instead of passing on, however, Itadori is anchored partially to the living world by
Sukuna's power/domain, which now seems eerily similar to Maki/Mai's beach and Panda's childhood home. Want more
parallels? Gege has confirmed that even Sukuna would eventually have passed on given enough time, just like Mai and
Gorilla/his sister passed on. Moreover, Itadori wakes up after a period of unconsciousness in Sukuna's inner domain, just
like Maki and Gorilla in their respective dreamscapes, with no memory of how he got there. Even moreover, Maki and
Mai modify their soul information within their short time in the cursed realm, just like Sukuna, who is always in his inner
domain, modifies his own soul information to create mouths and eyes, as well as forming a binding vow with Itadori.

"An Innate Domain? Normally referred to simply as a Domain is an area created in the users mind that can be
manifested using cursed energy. "

"A domain is a metaphysical territory that exists within its creator's mind."
Could it be said then... that an inner domain is simply a space between dreams and reality? Could it be said that a
sorcerer's inner domain is their conceptualization of the cursed realm? When Sukuna uses Domain Expansion for the
first time, he calls it "true Jujutsu," and general consensus is that it is the hardest ability to master. If we follow that
logic, Domain Expansion would then be the manifestation of the Cursed Realm into reality. All other sorcerers need a
barrier to keep their realm separate from the real world, to impose their reality onto another sorcerer, but not Sukuna:
His understanding of the Cursed Realm is so stark that he does not need a barrier to contain his imaginary realm. To him,
it is real.

This explanation would even work with the manga's explanation for Sukuna's domain. By creating a Domain without a
barrier, something only he can do, he creates a binding vow that extends the domain's range of effect.

Note: Sukuna also pops into Jogo's version of the Cursed Realm. Him being able to do so explains how he knows about
how Cursed Spirits' souls work. Some people are going to tell me that his appearance is only in Jogo's head, but all of it is
only in Jogo's head. Physically, they are still outside the realm, fighting, but within, Jogo is already preparing to die.

4. Sukuna is pulling his fire arrow technique from the Cursed Realm via incarnation
So now we have all the pieces in front of us:

The cursed realm stores soul information. According to Ogami, you can incarnate only the body and its abilities so as not
to worry about the previous owner of the body. This is also how Kenjaku's technique works, though it's revealed that
there is some overlap between the two (Toji and Geto rebelling). Sukuna can therefore incarnate another sorcerer's
ability into himself, so long as he is strong enough to handle their body/soul. But as is also revealed, souls move on and
are therefore hard to locate, so Sukuna eats people, physically and spiritually tying them to himself.

When Sukuna says "Black Box, Open," he is accessing that stored soul information, which implies that the "Black Box" is
actually the Cursed Realm in its natural form, as depicted by Kenjaku's scene with Itadori's classmate.

Finally, the souls of cursed spirits are not permanent because they reincarnate. In fact, their experience of the cursed
realm is fundamentally different from a human's. This is why Sukuna, upon showing off his fire arrow, says Jogo and
cursed spirits in general would not understand his ability.
