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 Mortuary Temple. 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 loved plum blossoms, plum trees and plums, the Kanji in Uraume's name, "Ume" «梅» means "plum" or "plum tree" or "plum blossom". Because Suguwara loved plum blossoms and wrote many poems about them, fans think this could be a hint of romantic feelings from Sukuna since him and Suguwara have similarities.

This theory also relates with Uraume possibly being related to Satoru Gojo and Yuta Okkotsu who are both related to each other (distantly) and are descendants of Suguwara no Michizane.

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 also together in the Heian Era. In the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, the Heian Era was the "Golden Age of Curses." However many fans suspect feelings from Uraume and Sukuna because Heian is a romantic era. And as said by Satoru Gojo, love is the most twisted curse of all.
 * 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.
 * Both Sukuna and Yuji Itadori have flowers as their close companions, the Kanji "Ume" in Uraume means "Plum Blossom" while the Kanji "Bara" in Nobara means "Wild Rose".
 * In the Japanese translation of chapter 116 when Uraume and Sukuna meet again, in the English translation Uraume says "It's nice to see you again." in the original Japanese translation however they say "It's been a long time." with a smile on their face.
