SukuFushi

SukuFushi is the slash ship between Ryoumen Sukuna and Megumi Fushiguro from the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Canon
The two first met when Itadori swallowed Sukuna's finger and inevitably got possessed by him. Sukuna at first didn't pay attention to Megumi as he was focused on fighting Satoru Gojo instead.

In the episode "Curse Womb Must Die" Sukuna appears behind Megumi before he even had the chance to find Itadori and get him back. Sukuna then ripped out Itadori's heart and took him hostage. Megumi and Sukuna ended up battling each other, Megumi tried to win against Sukuna using his Shikigami, but inevitably failed to succeed as Sukuna almost killed him in the process.

Sukuna seemed to be impressed by Megumi's power and had no doubt that he had potential. When Megumi started to summon Mahoraga, Sukuna felt it's power and was excited, saying, "Entertain me, Fushiguro Megumi!", although Megumi instead let go of his Cursed Energy and talks to Sukuna, trying to bring Itadori back, which works as Itadori switches with Sukuna and tells Megumi to live a long life before "dying."

When Sukuna proposes to bring Itadori back to life and Itadori tells him he just doesn't want to die either, Sukuna says that the situation has changed, because in time they'll be able to see something interesting, while thinking back on Megumi.

Suguru Geto mentioned that among the young Jujutsu Sorcerers there was a landmine among them for Sukuna, and thinks of Megumi.

While training for the Exchange event, Megumi is thinking on how to store weapons, when he thinks back on Sukuna's words, "Back then, why did you run?" This led to Megumi figuring out that he can store weapons in his shadow. Later when he was battling the Finger Bearer, Megumi thinks back on Sukuna's words again, calling him a wasted treasure. This, together with Gojo's words, encouraged Megumi to unlock Domain Expansion.

When Megumi passed out after unleashing his Domain Expansion during his battle with a powerful cursed spirit who had Sukuna's finger, Sukuna silently observed from his inner domain. In the next scene Sukuna said, "Good. That's very good." impressed by Megumi's power.

Whilst almost killing Mahito, Sukuna said that if he dies or if someone else dies, he truly doesn't care, if it's not about Megumi.

During the Shibuya Incident Arc, Megumi released a powerful untamed Shikigami (Mahoraga) that was nearly impossible to exorcise before passing out from his injuries. a recently released Sukuna, who has sensed this, teleported to his location. Sukuna heals Megumi partly, telling him not to die, because there's something he needs him to do. In order to save Megumi, Sukuna engages in a battle with Mahoraga, before releasing his Domain Expansion (which covered less ground in order not to hit Megumi), Sukuna says, "You showed me the way, Fushiguro Megumi!" After the exorcism was over, Sukuna carried an unconscious Megumi and teleported him outside the curtain cast by Curse Users to get healed by Shoko Ieri.

Fanon
SukuFushi is a popular ship within the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom, fans often find their relationship intriguing since Sukuna has never been curious about another student in the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School other than Megumi. A lot of them use the trope "Enemies to Lovers" for their relationship due to Megumi hating Sukuna. A lot of ItaFushi shippers also include this ship as a side pairing.

The ship is very controversial to those who don't ship it due to Megumi and Sukuna's large age gap, as Megumi is 16 and Sukuna is 1000 years old. Many non-shippers of this ship argue that Sukuna doesn't want anything to do with Megumi and only wants him for power and his own plan, which is the most logical case as there is no romantic hint between the two or any chance of being together.

SukuFushi is not only controversial due to the age gap but the relationship as well. Many fans believe that Sukuna and Megumi have a turbulent relationship, as Sukuna only wants to use Megumi and because Megumi hates him. Megumi had to watch many people that he loved suffer because of Sukuna multiple times and for that reason fans don't think even if Megumi was aged up they would make a good couple due to the toxicity of their relationship.

A lot of fans like to refer to Sukuna as "Simpkuna" since it's a joke in the fandom that because Sukuna is interested in Megumi so much, he is a "simp" for him. This inside joke in Jujutsu Kaisen fandom has been recognized by non-slash shippers as well, with the official Crunchyroll twitter account even participating with the  simp Sukuna  memes.

In Modern (or University) AU's, Sukuna is usually portrayed as Itadori's delinquent twin brother or older brother in contrast to Megumi's strict and formal attitude. It is also a popular trope for both brothers rivaling each other for Megumi's affection.

Another popular trope is an unrequited love between Itadori and Megumi, the former not returning his feelings. But Sukuna, who shares the same body (or appearance if it is in Modern AU's), is very interested in Megumi which further complicates his feelings and his relationship with Itadori.

Historical AU's are also quite popular with this pairing, usually set in the Heian Period, the period in which Sukuna was defeated. In these AU's, Sukuna often has his true form, while Megumi is usually still human. Sometimes it's set when Sukuna was still human and due to Megumi's death, he becomes a curse.

SukuFushi is the rival ship of SukUme, another very popular Sukuna ship.
