Ryomen Sukuna is the King of Curses and main antagonist in Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen, which began as a manga in 2018 and became an anime in 2020. Clips of his intimidating expressions were widely reshared on TikTok and other short video platforms, where his stare became shorthand for silent judgment. The sukuna death stare version in particular is used when someone says or does something so questionable that other users joke they should be removed, matching the playful ban him sentiment around the meme online today.
