One Thing I Love About Sukuna's Character Design Is His Second Pair Of Eyes. They Show Emotions Behind

One thing I love about Sukuna's character design is his second pair of eyes. They show emotions behind the mask.

Look at his defensive dead stare in the first panel. And the eye that most people look past? It's hurt.

In the second panel, realization is apparent on both.

He thinks that maybe Yuuji was able to see past his wrath to the pain that feeds it. (maybe Yuuji was somehow aware of Sukuna's memories, after all the time they spent in the same body. Or it could be part of his domain, like how Hiromi (Higuruma) doesn't need to open the envelope to know what is in it. Yuuji's domain, whatever its technique is, seems related to memories at this point anyway.)

I think Sukuna was really giving Yuuji the benefit of the doubt here, that he was actually ready to hear Sukuna's side of things for the first time.

Maybe Yuuji's slice of life bit was actually an attempt to give sukuna the childhood that he didn't get to have. A chance to see what a carefree life feels like.

Of course, it was a false realization, or Yuuji's offer was not an act of mercy like he may have thought. Either way... I already rambled about the rest.

But God I love that we get this look into sukuna's true feelings whether he's in his true form or just fronting in someone else's body.
