This article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen's Shinjuku Showdown.

Key Takeaways

• Megumi has the potential to rival Gojo with the ten shadow techniques she inherited.
• If Megumi inherits Sukuna's shrine and fully masters his abilities, she can surpass Yuji's level.
• Megumi's growth in power, potential inheritance of shrines, and mastery of skills could make him the most powerful modern wizard.

Doing Jujutsu The end saw the team of Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara all take over the role of their teacher, Gojo, and continue their paths as wizards. It is no exaggeration to say that Yuji Itadori played a pivotal role in the final victory, and he certainly made significant changes to defeat Sukuna, the King of Curses. It can be said that Yuji took the next level of power in this fight and took a firm stand as the most powerful modern wizard after Gojo's death. J.J.K..

That said, there are certainly challenges facing the likes of Yuta Okotsu and, surprisingly, Megumi Fushiguro. Looking at how much Megumi has grown recently, it can be said that he could potentially become the strongest wizard of modern times, even stronger than Yuji Itadori.

Megumi's potential against his rival Gojo Satoru

• Megumi inherited the 10 shadow techniques
• Megumi can rival Gojo

Megumi Fushiguro already had the potential to rival Gojo in the series. Being born into one of three large families can definitely take you to that level in a big way. But even among the three generations of the family, Megumi was quite special. Megumi was born with the cursed skills of the 10 shadows. This is a cursed skill that anyone in a genin family can inherit, and those who are lucky enough to obtain it gain the potential to reach incredibly high levels.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say? – Gozo

Megumi's potential equals Gojo's

Megumi can be said to be incredibly talented. In fact, Gojo explicitly stated that long ago, the two heads of the Gojo and Genin families inherited similar techniques to Gojo and Megumi himself, namely the Infinite Technique, the Six Eye Technique, and the 10 Shadow Technique. , each fought and matched each other in battle. When these two fought a long time ago, the battle ended in a draw and the deaths of both men.

The implication here is that Megumi could be on par with Gojo in terms of strength if she utilized her techniques correctly. Megumi's level of natural talent is not available to everyone. In other words, talent alone isn't enough to take Megumi to the next level. He needs to work hard and reach a similar level to Gojo or Sukuna. Megumi took this advice to heart and worked really hard.

By the time the curling game episode came out, it could be said that Megumi's strength had improved dramatically. Control over the ten shadow technologies was greatly improved, and even half-baked domain expansions seemed more threatening. However, Megumi was far from a finished product, which meant that the limits he could reach and even break through were higher. The ten shadow techniques alone could make Megumi the most powerful modern wizard if she masters them. However, Megumi can potentially reach a higher level, as Sukuna has actually taken control of his body for a significant period of time.

The incident where Megumi Fushiguro gained a shrine

Megumi Fushiguro may be able to use Sukuna's shrine

In the curling game arc Do a jujutsuMegumi Fushiguro was taken over by Sukuna. This was after Sukuna said the word “Enchain” and took a bath to suppress Megumi's soul. Sukuna greatly benefited from this switch, but actively utilizing Megumi's body meant that Megumi would remember his movements and become stronger at the same time due to muscle memory. Sukuna's cursed energy was seeping into Megumi's body, and this incident was quite similar to Yuji's own incident. As fans know, Yuji was able to inherit the shrine from Sukuna because Sukuna's energy was greatly absorbed into his body. Because he had used the shrine on Yuji's body several times, he remembered this technique well due to muscle memory and actually utilized it greatly in battle once it was awakened.

Dying to win and dying to win are completely different things! – Gozo

Megumi may have a similar case, but it has not been confirmed whether she can actually still use these abilities. If Yuji can do it, there's no reason why Megumi can't inherit the shrine. Of course, it could be said that Yuji was able to inherit the technique due to his bloodline with Sukuna, but it is not explicitly stated in the story, and there is a good reason why Megumi also inherited this technique. At least he was able to counterattack Sukuna.

If Megumi also inherits the shrine, he will undoubtedly become the strongest person in the world. J.J.K.If he reaches his full potential. This means that Megumi has access to techniques like Malevolent Shrine and even techniques like World Splitting Dismantle. The fact that Sukuna has used all of these techniques on his own means that they will come easier to him once he starts training. That's one of the biggest advantages of having Sukuna in your body.

At the same time, fans know that Sukuna's use of the Ten Shadow Techniques on his body also strengthened him greatly. Like Sukuna, Megumi will also be able to use Max Elephant's technique, which is similar to Piercing Blood. He will be able to utilize Mahoraga appropriately while creating a Fusion Beast named Agito. This time it's even better than before. There's every reason for Megumi to become incredibly powerful once he unleashes his potential in JJK's future, and when he does, he will truly become the most powerful modern wizard.

Can Megumi be stronger than Yuji?

Megumi will surpass maintenance level in both A Gentleman and 10 Shades

As things stand, Yuji is definitely stronger than Megumi, and there's no denying that fact. However, Megumi can continue to reach very high levels if she fulfills her potential. All Megumi needs to do is master the ten shadow techniques. This involves taking control of a more powerful version of Mahoraga, which Sukuna used in his battle with Gojo. Megumi must also master techniques such as creating the Fusion Beast Agito. With complete control over all of this and meeting the requirements for perfect domain expansion, Megumi would be able to match Yuji in power.

Moreover, the fact that Sukuna's movements are imprinted on her body means that Megumi can fight better than before. There is also the possibility of inheriting the shrine, and if that is truly the case, it cannot be denied that he could surpass even Yuji and become the strongest wizard in modern times. The level of Gojo and Sukuna.

Of course, fans don't know if they'll see this since there's no planned sequel to JJK. But at least it's definitely fun to theorize about Megumi's potential.

JJK 271, the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, was finally released on September 29, 2024. Fans can read the series on the MANGA Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
