While Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 251 offered a glimmer of light for Megumi Fushiguro’s fate—basically proving that he survived—the likelihood that he will never be the same is considerable. It became clear after Sukuna assumed control of his body that he had intended to do so from the beginning, particularly after seeing the power of Megumi’s Ten Shadows Technique.It’s a widely held opinion that Megumi will reveal the “peak” of the fabled Zen’in clan method, even though the King of Curses may have shown off the Ten Shadows’ potential. This technique ultimately proved to be crucial in Sukuna’s win over Gojo.
Examining how Megumi Fushiguro is still able to reveal the “peak” of the Ten Shadows in Jujutsu Kaisen
In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 212, Megumi Fushiguro was subjected to excruciating anguish and suffering ever since Ryomen Sukuna gained possession of his body. He could only watch helplessly as the King of Curses used his own Ten Shadows technique to slay both his mentor, Satoru Gojo, and his sister, Tsumiki Fushiguro.Megumi’s spirit was entirely destroyed by all these awful events, and he reached his lowest point. As a result, he lost all motivation to combat Sukuna and regain physical control. Megumi had given up on everything, even in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 251, when Yuji Itadori attempted to connect with her spirit.
Some people still think that Megumi will be crucial to Sukuna’s downfall, even though this clearly casts a negative light on his future in the narrative. Megumi’s narrative is far from ended, even though his chances of surviving the current conflict are now slim.
Yuji and the other Jujutsu sorcerers had realized their full power in the month preceding the pivotal encounter, as seen by their continuous struggle with Sukuna. But Megumi’s story is not the same; in addition to having his body taken over by the King of Curses, the latter also used his skill to fight and ultimately kill Gojo.
Megumi has shown herself to be a skilled fighter and thinker throughout the Jujutsu Kaisen series, outwitting and outlasting far more powerful sorcerers. But his Ten Shadows technique—often referred to be the Zen’in clan’s ace—has frequently shown to be a double-edged blade. Megumi would have to defeat and tame his shikigami through a rite before she could call them.Sukuna became aware of the Ten Shadows’ potential after facing Megumi earlier in the series. As a result, he carefully considered his move and assumed control of the former’s body in order to apply his skill.
The Ten Shadows were expertly used by Sukuna against Gojo during their legendary fight, allowing him to unleash their full potential and defeat the most powerful sorcerer of the modern era.
In the battle against Gojo, most of the shikigami were destroyed, but that doesn’t mean they are gone forever. It is impossible to call a shikigami again once it is destroyed in combat. The birth of the the entirety creatures, however, results from its energy being transferred to the other shikigami.
It is also possible that their energy was transferred to the remaining shikigami, as even the strongest Ten Shadows shikigami, such as Mahoraga and Agito, were destroyed. This would undoubtedly lead to the development of a shikigami with unmatched strength.
Megumi’s use of the whole beast against Sukuna would probably mean the end for the King of Curses, but this is all conjecture at this moment.However, a force greater than that of Mahoraga and Sukuna would prove to be a double-edged sword for the sorcerers as well. After their battle with Sukuna, Yuji and the rest of his allies are definitely not in a position to deal with a full-fledged beast.
Megumi calling up a complete beast to battle Sukuna would surely bring out the “peak” of the Ten Shadows technique, but for others, it may spell doom. Fans are well aware of the destruction that can be done by someone with the same kind of power after seeing the sheer havoc that Mahoraga caused in the Shibuya arc.
Even though it would be a breathtaking sight to see a force greater than Mahoraga use Megumi as a weapon against Sukuna, it might also mean the end of the world as we know it for the Jujutsu sorcerers.
