Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter Reveals Unlikely Prospects for Megumi and Hana’s Relationship

Jujutsu Kaisen is nearing its conclusion with only one chapter remaining in the manga. While many fans are speculating about a potential sequel, nothing has been officially confirmed. At this juncture, author Gege Akutami faces the challenge of wrapping up multiple subplots, leading to a strong possibility that the romantic pairing of Megumi Fushiguro and Hana Kurusu may never materialize.

From Hana’s introduction in Jujutsu Kaisen, it has been clear that she harbored deep feelings for Megumi. Fans eagerly anticipated a resolution to this narrative thread; however, recent chapters suggest that Hana’s storyline may be reaching its conclusion, which could divide the fanbase as the series nears its finale.

Jujutsu Kaisen is unlikely to confirm the Megumi and Hana ship

The latest chapter features a conversation between Hana Kurusu and Megumi Fushiguro, yet it fails to address Hana’s romantic feelings for Megumi. This oversight indicates that the potential for their ship to sail is slim. Many fans have invested in this subplot, and the lack of resolution may prove disappointing as the series reaches its conclusion.

Hana’s motivation to help others was fueled by an incident in their childhood when Megumi saved her from a Curse. This pivotal moment propelled her to join forces with Angel in their fight against Ryomen Sukuna. Despite the intense developments, fans were hopeful for a resolution between her and Megumi, particularly given her struggles with Sukuna when he inhabited Megumi’s body.

Nevertheless, time constraints in the manga hinder any further exploration of their relationship. Gege Akutami has not given Megumi enough attention regarding Hana, leaving this romantic subplot one-sided and suggesting that a change in just one chapter is highly improbable.

The fate of both characters in the final chapter

Chances are slim that Hana Kurusu will play a significant role in the final Jujutsu Kaisen chapter, especially since her mission to eliminate Sukuna is likely to be complete. Readers might see a brief mention of her future plans, but her impact on the overall narrative seems minimal.

In contrast, Megumi Fushiguro, being one of the central characters, is poised for substantial involvement in the conclusion. It’s probable that he will share poignant moments with companions like Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki, potentially honoring their mentor, Satoru Gojo.

Final thoughts

The romantic pairing of Hana Kurusu and Megumi Fushiguro in Jujutsu Kaisen appears unlikely to develop. The manga lacks the narrative space to adequately explore this relationship, and Akutami has not indicated any romantic inclination from Megumi towards Hana, making any potential resolution too late to execute.
