SukUme

"I shall be waiting for you."

- Uraume to Sukuna.

SukUme is the non-binary ship between Ryoumen Sukuna and Uraume from the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Canon
Though not much is known about their relationship, Sukuna and Uraume are significantly close. Having spent 1000 years together, it is assumed that Uraume knows Sukuna better than anyone.

The two reunited when Jogo was defeated. Uraume told Sukuna that they had come to escort him. Sukuna seemed surprised upon seeing Uraume, as he didn't recognize them initially. Uraume told Sukuna that it was nice seeing him again, and when the time came that they had to part ways Sukuna tells Uraume that he'll see them later, Uraume responding that they will be waiting for him.

The creator of Jujutsu Kaisen Gege Akutami said that Sukuna in his human years never had wife or children, he only had Uraume.

Fanon
Due to Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 not being animated yet, SukUme is more popular within those who've read the manga. The reason why fans love the ship so much is because of Uraume and Sukuna's closeness. From Uraume being eternally loyal and devoted to Sukuna, to Sukuna willingly letting Uraume stay by his side for a thousand years. Fans also like to believe that Sukuna has "soft spot" for Uraume, since most fans feel that it is impossible for Sukuna to keep someone by his side for so long. The fans find their relationship endearing despite knowing so little.

Many who make alternate universes for Sukuna and Uraume often involve the two living together, the song that a lot of fans think suit them is "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri.

A theory in the SukUme fandom is that there is some kind of connection between Suguwara no Michizane and Sukuna and Uraume. Sukuna has a similar ox connection with Suguwara, as well as his Domain Expansion looks a lot like Suguwara's Daizafu shrine. While Gege Akutami based Sukuna off of the historical figure Ryomen Sukuna, fans think that some inspiration was also taken from Suguwara no Michizane as well. Suguwara also deeply loved plum blossoms, plum trees and plums to the point that he wrote many poems about them. The kanji in Uraume's name, "Ume" «梅» means "plum" "plum tree" or "plum blossom". SukUme fans think this could be a hint of romantic feelings from Sukuna since him and Suguwara have many similarities.

SukUme in fanfiction explores reincarnation or modern au's where Uraume and Sukuna get to meet each other when Yuji is his vessel. These au's often involve Uraume being a teacher at Jujutsu high with Satoru Gojo as their best friend.

SukUme is also shipped by few who ship Eremika from the Attack On Titan fandom due to both of the couples having parallels, Mikasa and Sukuna both saying "See you later," to Uraume and Eren who they have been with for a long time.

Trivia

 * Gege Akutami said that Uraume had been sticking to Sukuna since a thousand years ago. They were a human who were allowed to be with Sukuna because their cooking was delicious. As said by Akutami, Sukuna ate humans and the only person who could excellently cook them was Uraume.
 * Sukuna appreciated Uraume's cooking.
 * Sukuna and Uraume parallel each other's aesthetics. Uraume can create ice while Sukuna can create fire, Uraume is presented with light while Sukuna is overshadowed by darkness.
 * As Uraume fights Choso and Yuji Itadori, Sukuna's vessel, Yuji breaks Choso out of the ice that Uraume had contained him in. Concerned for "Sukuna's" body Uraume angrily told Yuji, "Who's body do you think that is?!"
 * In the original Japanese translation of chapter 116 of Jujutsu Kaisen, when Sukuna and Uraume are about to part ways Sukuna says to Uraume: "see you later, Uraume" "mata-na". "mata" means "again," but in that context it means, "see you later." "ま た な" saying "mata-na" is like "See you later :)" it has a very friendly and soft tone. Which led a lot of fans to believe that Sukuna speaks to Uraume more softly.
 * Uraume replied "お待ち" (omachi) 申しておりまず". "Omachi" is a VERY formal version of 待って ("matte" = wait) you only say this to someone who you deeply respect.
 * Sukuna and Uraume were together in the Heian Era a thousand years ago. Many fans suspect deep romantic feelings from Uraume or Sukuna because historically, Heian is a romantic era. And in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe itself it was the era where curses were at their golden age. In Volume 0 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Satoru Gojo said that love is the curse that manifests the most twisted curses.
 * Gege Akutami said that Sukuna had no wife or children in his past, following that with "He only had Uraume."
 * As said by Gege Akutami in the Jujutsu Kaisen Official Fanbook, Sukuna's pleasure is eating, which a lot of fans said that it makes Uraume the perfect partner for Sukuna. For they can cook delicious foods.
 * In the Jujutsu Kaisen fanbook it was said that Uraume was the only one who was allowed to be with Sukuna because of their cooking.
 * Gege Akutami referred to Uraume as Sukuna's close aide.
 * In the Spanish translation of chapter 116 and 117, instead of Uraume saying "I have come to escort you" they say "Master Sukuna, I have come to welcome you." as well as the line "It's nice to see you again" is switched to "It's good to see you again after such a long time."
 * In the second opening of Jujutsu Kaisen, before Sukuna shows up on screen Uraume's icefall is seen underwater.
 * SukUme parallels itself with Yuta Okkotsu's and Rika's past romance, as both ships include their own respective queen and king of curses.
 * When Jogo, Mimiko and Nanako "revive" Sukuna using his fingers, Sukuna makes them bow down to him immediately. Nanako and Mimiko both bow down right onto the floor as they should, while Jogo only bows with one knee. That action makes Sukuna almost slice his head off because Jogo is nowhere near the same level as him. But when Uraume bows down on one knee, and even stands next to him despite being a servant, Sukuna doesn't say anything as he allows them to. Even treating them more softly.
 * In the following chapter when Yuji and the Kyoto students along with Choso and Tsukumo Yuki fight against Suguru Geto and Uraume, Uraume says "Yuji Itadori alone...will be enough!" wanting Yuji only to get Sukuna back. Uraume also says "Don't make me wait any longer." indicating on their words to Sukuna that they would be waiting for him, most fans assumed Uraume ran out of patience and had wanted to see Sukuna as early as possible.
 * Sukuna and Uraume wear similar kimono. Both have the same white and blue colors and both wear the same colored haori, (Uraume wears their haori one-sided while Sukuna has it wrapped around his waist in most official arts and manga panels).
