Highlights
Megumi Fushiguro has become a pawn in Sukuna's plan, being possessed by the King of Curses and forced to do terrible things.
The intense battle between Sukuna and Gojo left Sukuna's body severely crippled, rendering his powers ineffective.
Now, Sukuna has successfully undergone a complete reincarnation inside Megumi's body, leading to the belief that Megumi has perished and his physical form is lost unless Sukuna meets his demise.
Megumi Fushiguro is an adored character in Jujutsu Kaisen and holds a significant role in advancing the plot alongside Itadori and Nobara. Despite his importance, Megumi has recently encountered increasingly troubling situations.
In the latest developments, Sukuna, the powerful King of Curses, has set his sights on Megumi following Itadori. Consequently, Megumi endures extreme circumstances, and in Jujutsu Kaisen 237, his situation worsens as Sukuna reverts to his true form. Fans are left wondering about Megumi's fate, a question that will linger for quite some time.
Sukuna In Megumi's Body
Jujutsu Kaisen commenced with the manifestation of Sukuna within Itadori's body. Despite residing there for a significant duration, it didn't take long for Sukuna to conceive new plans for his reincarnation. Right from the start, Sukuna had a distinct interest in Megumi, and this intrigue held a particular significance. During the Shibuya incident, when Megumi unleashed the powerful Divine General Mahoraga and confronted near-death, it was Sukuna who, not out of generosity but for his own ulterior motives, revitalized him and saved his life. Sukuna's goal became apparent as he unraveled his scheme to take over Megumi's body, intensifying the already tense narrative. Successfully executing his ploy, Sukuna relegated Megumi to a mere pawn in his twisted game. Megumi has committed heinous acts and taken lives he could never have fathomed harming otherwise. He has clashed with and killed his own mentor, all due to Sukuna's possession. His character has endured significant hardships, and presently, it seems he has nothing left to live for. All that he held dear has been lost, yet this predicament pales in comparison to the imminent danger Megumi now faces, escalating even further after the events of JJK 237.
Sukuna Beaten Up
The most significant moment for Sukuna in Megumi's body occurred during his battle against Gojo. This highly anticipated fight, which lasted for months, was filled with exciting twists and turns that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Gojo displayed exceptional skill and pushed Sukuna to his limits, coming close to defeating him. However, due to unexpected circumstances, Gojo ultimately met his demise. Sukuna emerged victorious, delivering a powerful slash that cleaved Gojo's body in half. This turn of events was particularly devastating for Megumi, as Gojo had acted as a parental figure to him.
This encounter between Gojo and Sukuna only served as a precursor to Megumi's further misfortune. As anticipated, Sukuna suffered heavy injuries during the fight with Gojo. The 10 Shadows Technique saved him from defeat but could not prevent significant damage. Sukuna lost his left hand and one of his eyes, and his body was left in ruins. Gojo's actions disabled Sukuna's ability to use Domain Expansion and stole his Domain Amplification power. Additionally, Sukuna's Reverse Cursed Technique was rendered ineffective, leaving him unable to fully heal.
The Return Of True Form Sukuna
After Gojo's death, Kashimo took immediate action and confronted Sukuna, revealing his long-hidden cursed technique. The intense battle between them proved to be thrilling, with Kashimo landing powerful blows and inflicting damage upon Sukuna. Despite Sukuna acquiring a mighty cursed tool, it proved insufficient to match Kashimo's strength, as he continuously delivered devastating strikes, pushing Sukuna into a corner. It became evident that Sukuna had no choice but to unleash his full potential.
In previous chapters, the existence of Sukuna's trump card had been hinted at, leaving fans curious about its nature. Although initially unclear, it became apparent that Sukuna possessed a secret weapon tucked away for a crucial moment. This moment arrived in JJK 237 when Sukuna initiated the process of reincarnation within Megumi's body. After a millennium of absence, the true Sukuna resurfaced. The transformation was evident in his revitalized form, characterized by four arms, multiple eyes, and an imposing muscular build that surpassed most beings. With Sukuna's return in his authentic state, the question arises regarding Megumi's fate and how his story will unfold moving forward.
The Fate Of Megumi - Is Megumi Fushiguro Dead?
Megumi, a significant character in the story, seems to have lost relevance. Sukuna has successfully possessed and reincarnated using Megumi's body as a foundation. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to rescue Megumi, as his body has merged completely with Sukuna. In essence, Megumi's existence is temporarily gone, and fans should interpret this as his figurative death.
The only chance of reclaiming Megumi's body lies in Sukuna's demise. If Sukuna is eventually killed, there might be a possibility of saving Megumi. However, this scenario is uncertain and relies heavily on the assumption that Megumi's body remains intact. Considering the events of the previous chapter, Megumi's assimilation into Sukuna's form has been complete, eliminating any remnants of his original self. Additionally, Megumi has already endured significant damage in his battle against Gojo, including being struck by Unlimited Void. If he manages to survive these hardships, fans should consider that Megumi's fate is inevitably tied to Sukuna's, indicating his eventual demise. It appears that Jujutsu Kaisen has taken another character away, and this time it's the beloved fan-favorite, Megumi Fushiguro.
