The Sasuke curse mark is a powerful and mysterious ability used by the character Sasuke Uchiha in the anime and manga series Naruto. It is a unique mark that was given to Sasuke by Orochimaru, a villainous character who seeks power and immortality. The curse mark is depicted as a black, intricate tattoo-like seal on Sasuke's body, usually located on his neck or shoulder. When activated, the curse mark grants Sasuke enhanced physical abilities, increased chakra, and the ability to use dark and forbidden jutsu, or ninja techniques. However, these powers come at a great cost. The curse mark is fueled by Sasuke's negative emotions, such as anger, hatred, and jealousy.

Curse Seal Was Wasted Potential(For Sasuke)

Shout out to @Csdabest for always saying it, but its truly annoying how Sasuke lost a whole section of power, and never really got any kind of replacement for it.

When you look at Naruto's progression of power its gaining more control over Kurama's chakra, and learning Sage Mode.

Sasuke's progression is evolving his eyes, and then gaining CS followed by losing CS.

And nothing is there to replace it.

People point to Kage Summit arc where the comparison between Sasuke's chakra to CS2 is made as proof that his MS was the intended replacement, but its not really the same.

MS was just the natural evolution of his heritage as an Uchiha.

Curse Seal was this outside ability that buffed his jutsu, physical stats, and chakra reserves.

Buffs that would ironically be beneficial to Sasuke in this current predicament against Isshiki.

And what makes this more maddening is the background we're given for the Curse Seal, and what we know Orochimaru was looking into.

Sasuke's been robbed of a power-up. Robbed!!

Kishi realised that Sasuke was going to have too many powers to deal with, so he removed part of his moveset when the mangekyou arrived

This is exactly why I changed by opinion on sarada getting the byakago seal and learning medical ninjutsu, do it ASAP, although with how they're showing her cc it's in doubt now

Otherwise uchiha are reduced to being Two trick ponies without any physical stats, regen and endurance, don't rob sarada of this plz

We're told MS chakra>CS2 chakra.

So, CS2 became redundant after that.

Hiruzen is yummy

plus it would not be good for Oro to be Inside Sasuke.
would be an intresting plotline for Sasuke to consider asking Oro for a possible upgraded one -without the soul of course- we'll get to see if Oro is still evil or not, and will see the extent sasuke is willing to go to protect people if he chooses to ask.

CS is a buff. It gives strong chakra but also physically boost the user. Considering senjutsu was the source of curse seal. You would essentially have Sasuke wielding Mangekyo with Senjutsu amps. And much like how he fought Juubito. Developed Senjutsu Susano-o which was capable of match BSM Naruto avatar w/o being perfected

even the statement of chakra was stated to being more Darker(not stronger) than CS and that was due to his hatred. And I think his hatred clearly didn’t suffice in physical augmentation much like CS did.

Considering Sasuke shutdown Oro with Sharingan. He would of been a non factor with Mangekyo even more so with EMS.

Sasuke is an Indra reincarnate so he can only have duh eye powah

At this point he might as well learn Dragon sage mode. I mean he already has a bit of Hashirama cells and Jugo DNA from shippuden, and he can clearly handle senjutsu chakra very well.

I'd agree with this if kishi didn't keep add to sasukes moveset even giving him the rinnegan

Its more that ms was simply a better upgrade thus CS felt redundant

It’s quite clear it was done to have Naruto catch up. If they wanted to bring tension to Naruto vs Sasuke they would of had him kept it and steamrolled his enemies becoming a credible threat. Kishi had to reset his level.

it’s no coincidence after the Itachi fight and losing CS that Naruto gained SM and they started dividing their powers in this eye power vs body power nonsense that never made sen

that eye power vs body power never made sense. And the Indra Ashura ass pull was even more so late game. Sasuke having Both Juugo and Hashirama Genetics and not developing CS or SM is BS. Especially since it was hinted at him regaining it ever sense the fight with killer bee and further hinted at in the war arc.

More reasons to take them out, if he was planning give him the rinnegan.

Sasuke with MS only got susanoo and amaterasu taking all his snake jutsus and curse mark boosts, even things like that broken Orochimaru's substitution or the ability to fly without a megazord which were not redundant.

The rinnegan came already finishing the series either way.

I know but now that I think about it, sp could've done a lot more for sakura in the fillers too, but they made her punch naruto more instead

Truth hurts

Isn't curse seal stated to replace your own chakra with Orochimaru's Senjutsu chakra?

And if so, wouldn't Sasuke Keeping it even during FKS, be a debuff whenever he activates it?

Nope because people been fusing chakras afterwords. Sage Chakra is literally a mix. Sasuke Elevated uchiha chakra would of mixed with Orochimaru Senjutsu chakra. Would of been know difference between Naruto mixing all those chakras together for one form.

even then Sasuke was lined up to getting a pure form of Curse seal. After gaining Juugo genetics and being hyped up to being compatible. By the war arc Sasuke should atlesst have been able to produce his own a senjutsu chakra.

Perhaps not by the War Arc, as he may have not had enough of Jugo's Biomass to absorb a large quantity of Natural Energy.

Sasuke both has Hashirama and Jugo's cells within his body. Over time, in at least 3 years time, he should have produced characteristics related to both of them. So in THE LAST, he certainly should have have had Sage Transformation as an ability.

Kagutsutchi

Truth hurts

Okay so how would Sasuke fuse the chakras?

A balanced mix. Orochimaru's senjutsu chakra is already mixed and balanced and the addition of Sasuke's own normal chakra would unbalance the sage chakra and make it worthless.

Except Naruto gathers Natural Energy and then mixes it with every other chakra, and Sasuke is mixing already existent sage chakra with his own normal chakra.

I personally think Sasuke could and should have learned sage mode, but it was rendered pointless by him gaining rinnegan which is stated equal to RSM. So.

Hashirama's cells don't come with auto sage mode.

And Jugo's cells would make Sasuke go berserk unless he went to ryuchi cave.

I personally think Jugo just transmuted his cells to match Sasuke's cells.

For that line, I was more talking about what biomass he attained in general, I should have been more clear.

Sasuke would fuse the chakras just like he fused all 9 bijuu chakras. Or how Naruto mixed Sage chakra and Kyuubi chakra. This isn’t foreign and we saw in the war arc Sasuke was capable of mixing and matching chakra ratios with one another

how come Kyuubi chakra didn’t make Naruto Sage chakra unbalanced and worthless? Your trying to create an issue where there isn’t one and has shown already to been bypassed.

it’s already mixing with his own Chakra. When Karin senses Hebi sasuke she is sensing Sasuke not Orochimaru chakra. It would just be Orochimaru chakra mixing with sasuke chakra like normal. Except sasuke would have even stronger chakras from mangekyo.

Rinnegan is not a replacement. It’s the other half of the equation. It’s a completely different power up. How would it be pointless if it buffs the body and chakra. Right now sasuke isn’t suffering in the doujutsu hax. He is suffering from physical stats and stamina. Something that should had never been an issue because he had a power to overcome that.

Rinnegan and Sage Mode are not equals. They are two halves of a whole that Sasuke has/had access to but poor writing bars him from it.

12 Sasuke Curse Mark Tattoos

Sasuke Uchiha is one of the pivotal characters in the groundbreaking anime Naruto.

In the show, he’s given a curse mark called the “cursed seal of heaven” by Orochimaru. This seal places him under the control of Orochimaru but so gives him the ability to become more powerful.

There are multiple stages to these curse marks, and the design changes depending on how far it has spread across the body. Depending on which curse seal it is, the design will vary accordingly, and the power will also vary.

Anime is a huge source for tattoos, so I wanted to go and find some of the best Sasuke curse mark tattoos out there.

   The curse mark is fueled by Sasuke's negative emotions, such as anger, hatred, and jealousy. When Sasuke allows these feelings to consume him, the curse mark spreads and takes control of his body and mind. This can result in a loss of control, leading Sasuke to become more ruthless and destructive.

   Sasuke Curse Mark Tattoo ideas

   Sasuke Face Tattoo

   Here’s the man Susuke himself, with the curse tattoo slowly spreading across his face. We’re definitely in the later stage of the curse here.

   Neck Tattoo

   Neck tattoos are always a bold spot, and this curse mark on the side of this man’s neck is no exception. Nice and bold!

   Large Curse Back Tattoo

   I really like this curse mark tattoo, as it’s entering the next stage, making the design bigger than just the single mark. The back is a perfect place for this sort of tattoo, as the artist will have tons of space to work with.

   Shoulder tattoo

   This is a great spot that want the tattoo near it’s original location in the show, without it having to be visible all the time.

   Curse Mark Shoulder Tattoo

   This design is a little more subtle than the curse mark above, but it’s in a similar spot. Depending on what style and complexity you’d like, you can always keep it simple or request a more intricate design.

   Curse Mark Shoulder Tattoo

   The design of this curse mark tattoo fits perfectly on the shoulder. The mark is the centerpiece, but the framing around it flows perfectly with the lines of the arm.

   Half Back Curse Tattoo

   Whoa, this curse is definitely in one of its later stages based on how huge this back tattoo is! It almost has a tribal feel as the pattern expands from the center.

   Minimal Sasuke Curse Mark Tattoo

   Looking for something a little more minimal? This curse tattoo is small and hidden away on the shoulder, but the design is still very bold with all that black ink.

   Female Sasuke Curse Tattoo

   I had to get at least one lady on the list, and this was a great example.

   Not only does this curse tattoo look like it matches the other tattoo on her arm, I like how it slightly peeks up her neck, hinting that there is much more below.

   Curse in circle

   This design stands out because it’s in a bit of a middle ground than the others in this list.

   It’s not completely minimal, but it’s not large and expansive either. Just a small circular frame around the curse mark.

   Sketchy Sasuke Curse Mark Tattoo

   This one gets bonus points for its loose, sketchy style compared to the cleaner lines that are usually used with this tattoo. If there was a bit of red in there, it would almost fit in with the trash polka style!

   Back of shoulder curse tattoo

   Last but not least, we have another curse mark tattoo with some small embellishments located on the back of this man’s shoulder. A perfect spot to show it off while wearing a tank top.

   

   The curse mark also has different levels of power. The initial form, known as Level 1, grants Sasuke a boost in strength and speed. Level 2, on the other hand, transforms Sasuke's appearance and gives him even greater power, but at the cost of his physical and mental well-being. Throughout the series, Sasuke struggles with the curse mark and its influence on him. He often seeks ways to suppress or remove it, as he sees it as a symbol of his weakness and vulnerability. However, he eventually learns to control and harness its power, using it to aid him on his quest for vengeance against his brother, Itachi. Overall, the Sasuke curse mark is a complex and significant element in the Naruto series. It serves as both a source of power and a symbol of the character's internal struggles, making it an integral part of Sasuke's story and development..

   Reviews for "Sasuke's Curse Mark: A Weapon of Mass Destruction"

   - Ethan - 2/5 stars - I wasn't a fan of the Sasuke curse mark in the Naruto series. I felt like it was just an excuse to make Sasuke more powerful without any real character development. It seemed like a cheap way for the writers to keep Sasuke relevant in the story. Plus, the design of the curse mark itself was kind of boring and uninspired. Overall, I think the curse mark was a missed opportunity to explore Sasuke's character in a deeper and more meaningful way.

   - Olivia - 3/5 stars - While I understand why the Sasuke curse mark was introduced in the Naruto series, I wasn't a big fan of it. I felt like it shifted the focus too much on Sasuke's power and made him seem less relatable as a character. It also made his battles feel less suspenseful, as it always seemed like he had this hidden power that would ultimately save him. I think the curse mark took away some of the tension and unpredictability from the story. However, I do appreciate that it added some complexity to Sasuke's character and highlighted his struggle with darkness.

   - Michael - 2/5 stars - The Sasuke curse mark was one of the worst aspects of the Naruto series for me. It felt like a forced plot device that didn't really fit well with the overall narrative. I found it hard to believe that a single mark could instantly make Sasuke so much stronger. It felt like a cheap way to give him an advantage in battles. Additionally, the transformation that came with the curse mark just looked silly and over-the-top. It was too flashy and took away from the seriousness of the story. I would've preferred if the series focused more on developing Sasuke's skills and techniques rather than relying on this gimmick.
