Its the tragic tale of Medusa, taken from Greek lore. Medusa had been a beautiful girl who served as a priestess for Athena in her temple. It was thought that in Athena's temple, Medusa was seduced by the 'dolphin-greenbearer'-- god of sea.

This act of sacrilege gave rise to the wrath of Athena, who then turned strange life to a monstrous creature suffused with snakes each 7 ft long, and eyes that turned every creature into stone. It was a very tough penalty indeed: this was the side of divine being, unyielding and vengeul.

Despite the monster she became, some see Medusa as yet another story of blaming the victim--as if it would remind human beings how human nature is always to blame wrong people for what others do wrong.

And so it is a tale as representative as any in the whole round of fantastic Greek mythology Athena, as a goddess of wisdom, had in her service only pure devotees. Medusa was one such servant. Lovely and trustworthy, Medusa attracted the eye of the sea god Poseidon; they made love in Athena's holy temple.

This was sacrilege to sacred land--Athena cursed Medusa because she took instead of gave loyalty in return for her affections Poseidon's sanctuary Aside with that and in place of retribution came this act of revenge: Athena stole from Medusa her looks, changing the beauty of her face into the petrifying countenance found on the more hideous gorgons big snakes for tresses as well. Thus was Medusa born--as we know her infamous self.

Medusa was cursed by the goddess Athena for desecrating her temple by falling for the charms of god Poseidon. The result? A hideous transformation with snakes for hair and a gaze capable of petrifying anyone!

You know what I'm talking about. A classic Greek myth. Medusa was a lovely (as well as scantily clad) priestess in the temple of Athena. She was truly stunning. Alas, the sea god, Poseidon, couldn't resist temptation. He and Athena had a big, fat fight.

Angry about this sacrilege, Athena turned Medusa into a terrible monster with snakes for hair and a gaze that petrified onlookers. She dealt Medusa a curse rather than Poseidon, which created much debate.

what is sukuna's cursed technique

Sukuna's cursed technique is quite fascinating and unique among the various characters in 'Jujutsu Kaisen'. It's called the 'Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue and Red', a technique that allows him to control the Cursed Energy within his or his opponent’s body. By applying positive and negative Cursed Energy, he can create a reaction resulting in a powerful burst of energy called 'Cleaver'. He often combines these techniques to deal lethal blows. He also has a second technique, 'Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine', where he creates an enclosed space full of his Cursed Energy, dealing almost inescapable damage to those trapped inside.

Feeling cursed is hard to shake off, isn’t it? I sometimes think about it after binge-watching 'Death Note'—the weight of the decisions those characters make. It’s like you're stuck in a spiral of bad luck with no way out. Sometimes I find that after facing tough times, it’s about perspective. Any situation can feel cursed if we keep dwelling on it. Finding something uplifting to distract myself, like an episode of 'My Hero Academia,' often helps shift that vibe.

Yuji's cursed technique is quite exceptional in the world of 'Jujutsu Kaisen'. Unlike other characters in the series, he doesn't exactly have his own unique technique. Instead, he has immense physical prowess and has swallowed the King of Curses, Sukuna's finger, effectively becoming a host for his power. This gives him access to Sukuna's immense cursed energy on occasion, which comes in handy during desperate fights.Jujutsu Kaisen displays a wide range of creative cursed techniques, and having Yuji with physical prowess and intermittent access to powerful curse energy provides an interesting contrast.

The villain of Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna, possesses a cursed technique which is able to destroy whatever is present. This amazing power is called "Cleave" or Dissolve, depending on what version was seen in manga or anime. Sukuna uses it to with complete exactitude disintegrate anything; his touch means destruction. He also has Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine. With it he can produce just such a Buddhist shrine (because they must perish), where everything inside its boundaries gets destroyed.

I apologize for the confusion. Medusa didn't beget Medusa. According to Greek mythology, she was a Gorgon. The Gorgons were sisters of the Phorcys and Ceto. Medusa had been a beautiful maiden and Athena changed her beauty into a Gorgon after Poseidon violated her in Athena's temple out of jealousy. Athena, the Goddess of knowledge and warfare, was directly involved in turning Medusa into her monstrous form.

Of course, he is not the bearer of the “Cursed Womb” Yūji is a naturally strong individual whose life intersects with curses when he inadvertently swallows a finger of King Curses Sukuna and becomes his host. Cursed wombs, themselves transmutated evil spirits, are a result of accumulated negative human currents or even curses.

Nanami Kento, one of the characters from 'Jujutsu Kaisen', uses a cursed technique called 'Ratio Technique' or 'Seven-Three'. What's cool about this technique is that it creates lines at the ratio of 7:3 on any object or his opponent. If Nanami hits along one of these lines, he can deal critical damage that can even cut through a curse's tough skin. It's like slicing a cake at the perfect angle! Plus, he has a cool overtime mode where his power increases after working hours. Nanami's sensible style truly reflects in his unique technique.
