Jujutsu Kaisen: Megumi’s Potential as the Next Sukuna, But Under One Condition

With the final chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen approaching, there has been increased speculation about the possibility of Megumi breaking free from Sukuna’s control. This suggests that fans greatly admire Megumi as a character and are eagerly anticipating his return to the action.

The most recent instance of him being active was when his sister, possessed by Yorozu, a cursed spirit from the Heian Era, betrayed him. Additionally, the King of Curses ultimately used Megumi’s sister’s abilities to kill her, leaving him with no hope.

Despite the possibility of Fushigoro making a comeback, would he still be the same compassionate person he was before? As a sorcerer, his goal was always to help and protect others. However, after enduring so much pain and suffering, is it possible that he could return as a merciless sorcerer, much like Sukuna who has taken over his body?

Please be aware that this article includes possible spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga series and reflects the author’s personal viewpoint.

Exploring Megumi’s Chances of Returning Under a Transformative Condition in Jujutsu Kaisen

In chapter 258 of Jujutsu Kaisen, it was revealed that Itadori’s ability to learn cursed techniques was due to his role as a host for Sukuna. Sukuna utilized special-grade cursed techniques from within Itadori’s body, resulting in the protagonist’s body becoming familiar with cursed techniques.

Once Fushigoro became the new host of Sukuna, the King of Curses fully unleashed the power of the Ten Shadow Technique and successfully tamed Mahoraga, the cursed spirit that had previously resisted control from any previous inheritors of the technique. During the intense battle with Gojo Satoru, Sukuna impressively demonstrated his mastery over both Mahoraga and Agito (a fusion of several shinigami) with precise control.

This progression has the potential to give Fushigoro the ability to control Mahoraga, a situation similar to what Yuji experiences after being liberated from the King of Curses. This may be one of Kenjaku’s strategies. Additionally, if Fushigoro gathers the bravery to seek revenge for his sister and continue living, he could potentially regain his body from Sukuna.

Ultimately, his comeback could result in him evolving into a more skilled sorcerer, possessing the strength of a subjugated Mahoraga. Additionally, Fushigoro could incorporate Mahoraga into his Chimer Shadow Garden domain expansion as a guaranteed attack, as he had already mastered control over this shikigami thanks to Sukuna.

The addition of Mahoraga to Chimera Shadow Garden could potentially make his domain expansion one of the most powerful in the series, potentially changing the game.

Therefore, possessing the abilities of a tamed Mahoraga could potentially make Fushigoro one of the strongest sorcerers in the series. However, this could also bring about a chain of events that may result in the downfall of the Jujutsu society.

Despite having no living blood relatives, Megumi could potentially become the main antagonist of the series. This could lead him to seek revenge against the Jujutsu society for their failure to protect his sister from dying due to Kenjaku’s use of Idle Transfiguration.

The taming of Mahoraga by Fushigoro could result in the loss of his kind and caring personality, transforming him into a ruthless individual and potentially the next Sukuna. Therefore, the sorcerer’s actions could come at the cost of his morality, making him a rogue.

The most recent chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen implies that Fushigoro may be able to perfect his Domain Expansion technique.

Even if Fushigoro had not found him, Yuji’s life in Jujutsu Kaisen would still have gone precisely as Kenjaku had planned.

Jujutsu Kaisen fans should be concerned as Gege’s decision to bring back Miguel in chapter 254 could be seen as taking the easy way out.
