Despite multiple attempts, Megumi Fushiguro has been consistently interrupted whenever he tried to summon the powerful shikigami, Mahoraga. However, in the previous episode's ending, there was a hint that Megumi might have finally succeeded in summoning Mahoraga. As a result, fans can anticipate that Mahoraga will now target Haruta Shigemo in the upcoming episode.
While the previous episode only showed Mahoraga's feet, the upcoming episode may give us a full look at the shikigami, all while revealing how and why Megumi summoned it.
Megumi's backstory could reveal Mahoraga's history
The preview of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 17 reveals Megumi Fushiguro successfully summoning Mahoraga after previous failed attempts. This raises anticipation among fans as they can expect to uncover the backstory of this powerful shikigami and understand why it is highly regarded. It is likely that Megumi will have a conversation with his teacher, Satoru Gojo, giving fans the opportunity to see their beloved character once again.

In the previous episode's conclusion, Ryomen Sukuna was approached by Uraume, with fans unaware of Uraume's significance, but the anime made it apparent that this character held importance.
Nevertheless, rather than engaging with Uraume, Sukuna is shown confronting Mahoraga in the preview. Therefore, fans will witness Sukuna battling Mahoraga and discover the circumstances leading to the King of Curses fighting the shikigami, even as it had its sights set on Haruta Shigemo.
Ryomen Sukuna's plan may be revealed

In an offer to Jogo and the Cursed Spirits, Ryomen Sukuna proposed a condition in which he would spare only one individual in Shibuya and eliminate all others for the Cursed Spirits if Jogo lost the bet. Following Sukuna's victory over Jogo, there is anticipation that the anime will potentially disclose the hidden truth.
As evidenced by the preview images showing Sukuna battling Mahoraga, it is likely that he will engage in a fight with the shikigami to rescue Megumi Fushiguro. Consequently, there remains a chance that Sukuna intends to utilize Megumi for his complete resurrection.
Editor's P/S
As a die-hard fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of episode 17 of season 2. The sneak peek and predictions have only heightened my excitement for this upcoming episode. The appearance of Mahoraga, Megumi's powerful shikigami, hints at an intriguing backstory that I can't wait to uncover. Seeing Mahoraga in action and learning about its abilities will undoubtedly be a highlight of this episode.
Moreover, the confrontation between Ryomen Sukuna and Mahoraga has me on the edge of my seat. Sukuna's plans and motivations have been a central mystery throughout the series, and I believe that episode 17 will shed some light on them. The potential for a battle between Sukuna and Mahoraga is tantalizing, and I am eager to witness the incredible animation and fight choreography that MAPPA is known for. Overall, I am confident that episode 17 will be a thrilling and satisfying addition to the Jujutsu Kaisen season 2.
