Why Megumi might be the strongest modern magic player after Gojo

This post contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen's Shinjuku Showdown.

Key Takeaways

• Megumi has the ability to compete with Gojo with the techniques she inherited from the Ten Shadows.
• Megumi may surpass Yuji's level if she inherits Sukuna's Residence and fully masters her abilities.
• Megumi's increased power, potential Shrine inheritance, and abilities could make her the most powerful modern witch.

Jujutsu Kaisen's The finale sees the team of Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara, all continuing their path as magicians, taking their robes from their Sensei, Gojo. It can be said that Yuji Itadori was the most important in the final victory, and he certainly made a lot of changes to defeat the King of Curses, Sukuna. Yuji arguably reached the next level of power during this battle and made a strong case for himself as the strongest modern wizard after Gojo's death in JJK.

That said, he certainly has challenges from the likes of Yuta Okkotsu, and Megumi Fushiguro is also amazing. Judging by Megumi's recent growth, it can be said that she may become the strongest modern witch, possibly even stronger than Yuji Itadori.

Megumi's ability to compete with Gojo Satoru

• Megumi has the technique inherited from ten shadows
• Megumi was able to get along with Gojo

Megumi Fushiguro has already had the chance to compete with Gojo in the series. Being born into one of the Three Great Families would certainly allow him to reach these levels. But, even among those born into the Three Great Families, Megumi stood out. Megumi was born with a cursed technique inherited from the 10 shadows. A cursed technique that not everyone in the Zenin family could inherit, and those who were lucky enough to get it get the chance to become a very high level.

Do you understand what I mean? – Gojo

Megumi's ability to resemble Gojo

It can be said that Megumi has incredible talent. In fact, Gojo made it clear that the heads of the Gojo family and the Zenin family had long ago inherited the same abilities as Gojo and Megumi, namely the Infinite Technique and the Six Eyes, and the 10 Shadows technique. , both fought and faced each other in battle. After fighting for a long time, the two of them tied each other and both of them lost their lives together.

The implication here is that Megumi can match Gojo in terms of power if she manages to use her abilities properly. The level of talent Megumi was born with was not given to everyone. That said, talent alone cannot take Megumi to the next level. He needs to work hard and reach the same level as Gojo and Sukuna. Megumi took this advice to heart and definitely worked hard.

It can be said that during the Culling Game arc, Megumi improved a lot in terms of strength. His mastery of the 10 Shadows Technique had greatly improved, and even the half-baked domain expansion seemed more threatening. But, Megumi is far from a finished product, which means there's a higher ceiling for her and maybe even more. The 10 Shadows technique alone could make Megumi the strongest modern witch, if she continued to master it. But, Megumi could reach a higher level, and everyone in Sukuna really took over her body for a long time.

The case for Megumi Fushiguro has a sacred place

Megumi Fushiguro May Be Able To Use Sukuna's Heart

In the Culling Game Arc of Jujutsu KaisenSukuna took Megumi Fushiguro. This was after Sukuna said the word “Enchain”, and then she took a shower which forced Megumi's soul. While Sukuna benefited greatly from this change, the active use of Megumi's body meant that, due to muscle memory, Megumi remembered her movements, and, at the same time, , getting stronger. Sukuna's cursed energy seeped into Megumi's body, and this phenomenon was very similar to Yuji's. As fans know, Yuji was able to inherit the Shrine from Sukuna because his energy poured into his body so much. Due to repeated use in Yuji's body, the muscle memory memorized this technique well and used it in battle when he was fully awake.

Victory over death and victory through death are two completely different things! – Gojo

A similar case can be made for Megumi, although it is not confirmed whether or not she can continue to use these powers. There's no reason why the Shrine can't inherit Megumi if Yuji can do it. Of course, it can be said that Yuji was able to inherit the technique due to his blood relation to Sukuna, but, this is not clearly stated in the story, and there is every reason for Megumi to inherit the same technique. also, considering he was able to fight Sukuna as well, at least.

If Megumi were to inherit the Shrine as well, she would surely be the strongest in the war. JJKif he can do all that he can. This means that Megumi can get techniques like Malevolent Shrine, and even techniques like World Splitting Dismantle. The fact that Sukuna used all of these techniques in his body meant that it should be easier for him when he started training them. This is one of the great benefits of having Sukuna in your body.

At the same time, fans also know that using the 10 Shadows technique in his Sukuna body also strengthened him. Megumi should be able to use a Max Elephant technique similar to Piercing Blood, like Sukuna did. He should be able to create the Fusion Beast called Agito and, at the same time, use Mahoraga properly, this time better than before. Megumi has every reason to be powerful when she fulfills her powers in the future of JJK, and when she does, she will become the most powerful modern witch.

Could Megumi be stronger than Yuji?

Megumi will be above Yuji's level with 10 shrines and shadows

In reality, Yuji is definitely stronger than Megumi, and that fact cannot be denied. However, Megumi can advance to the highest level if she fulfills her abilities. All Megumi has to do is to fully master the 10 Shadows technique, which includes the stronger Mahoraga regime that Sukuna used in the fight against Gojo, controlled. In addition, Megumi must master techniques such as creating the fusion Beast Agito, among many others. Once she masters all of these to perfection and meets the requirements for a perfect field extension, Megumi should be able to compete with Yuji in terms of strength.

Moreover, Sukuna's movement contained in her body meant that Megumi would be able to fight better than before. Add to that the possibility that he will inherit the Shrine, and if that is indeed the case, there is no denying the fact that he can surpass Yuji and become the most powerful modern wizard, possibly even closer. the height of Gojo and Sukuna itself.

Of course, the fans don't know if they will see it again, since there is no continuity for JJK. But, at least the theory of Megumi's potential is certainly fun.

The final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, JJK 271, was published on September 29, 2024. Fans can read the series on Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app.
