oh i know gojo did not forget about megumi. one of the reason this fight has been dragging this long is because he's still trying to just put sukuna on the brink of death so they have a chance to save megumi. and thats a lot harder than just killing him outright. gojo had so many chances to just destroy sukuna's head and be done with this shit - but he just doesnt do it since he was still aiming to save megumi. and just the previous chapter he was worried about hitting megumi's soul, and someone who 'forgot' wouldnt look like that. he just cant let his guard down in front of a curse like sukuna coz if he shows even the tiniest bit of worry about megumi the curse is gonna take advantage of that.
there's a reason why sukuna is so goddamn convinced that using megumi's face would work in his favor, and gojo is doing everything he can to show sukuna that its not gonna work - saying that he would think about megumi after he's done with him. which he didnt do, seeing how shookt he was when he learned that megumi's soul took a hit, and sukuna noticed that and taunted him about it too. i understand why yuji is having doubts since this is actually the first time gojo explicitly said that he would kill sukuna not just defeat him (i might be wrong but i dont wanna read the chapters again since it is stressful enough as it is), and we all know that killing sukuna means killing megumi... but eh we'll see. we cant really trust the spectators on this one, they have been wrong so many times already.
maybe this is the point in the fight where gojo actually puts all his cards on the table whether that kills megumi or not (hopefully not, *snorts copium), and maybe we'll actually see sukuna do something else instead of just taking it.. this whole time sukuna's arrogant ass has been holding back in showing all his shit because of how much he underestimates gojo. whatever these two does i just hope yuji's 'plan' could be set in motion coz i just want someone to save megumi so bad. or better yet i want him to wake up in there, i mean gege put some shoes on him so there's progress...
sorry for ranting i did not mean for it to be this long, i'll just go back to that one megumi family dj since i need my daily dose of copium.
thats why i was confident reading this in the beginning of their fight, coz i thought its gonna end this year. but gege said in an interview that it might get extended T-T. i think he said it wont end this year after all? cant remember exact words, but im sure jjk is not ending this year at the very least. and sukuna and the curses winning would be kinda interesting too ngl. i will only accept megumi's death if that means everyone else dies too lmao
Ok ur giving me a little bit of hope lol. Seeing megumi curled up in a ball like that in pain was too much for me, he’s my favorite character . And yeah if ur right about gojo holding back, cuz he did say he could defeat him, but poor megumi. Maybe megami will snap back into it and take control of sukuna or something like that, cuz we know he could control him, if he didn’t breakdown cuz of his sister. I also agree, if megumi dies, they all die…nobura, nana I, he’ll even junpei was enough
im pretty certain that both parties are holding something back. sukuna out of pride and gojo because he cares about his ward/student. maybe we will see these two actually fighting to the death, no holding back, once sukuna acknowledges that gojo is a threat (or an equal) and once gojo stops prioritizing saving megumi over killing sukuna. and i dont think im ready for that honestly T-T.
i dont know about megumi taking control since it did take kenjaku so much effort just to create a vessel that could house sukuna (which was yuuji) and he failed at that since he created a cage instead. but i do believe we'll get a glimpse of whats happening inside megumi's head sometime soon. and that chapter would most likely determine megumi's fate. its gonna be a lot harder for him to take control since yuuji was created for it while megumi was chosen by sukuna. sukuna conditioned him to be a vessel so its gonna be tough getting out of that. but maybe megumi can do it since he did make sukuna struggle a bit in the beginning of the possession.
atp i think the only person who can save megumi is himself (and maybe yuji since yujis ct seems to be about souls and shit but we are yet to see that), gojo can only do so much on the outside. something needs to happen inside megumi that would awaken his determination to live, like that time he used talk no jutsu on yuji in the juvenile detention - which is gonna take a lot since he kinda lacks self worth. i love him a lot and he is my favorite character too (im only reading coz of him), but his self worth needs so much work. a big reason of why i love his character a lot is because he seems to want to be on the sidelines most of the time, his got all this cool shit at his disposal and yet he seems to think so little of himself. i want to see his character grow out of that. and just like gojo told him to, i want him to be more greedy.
with all the build up gege did for megumi's character, it would be such a waste not to see him at his full potential. but then again we dont really know what gege's cooking so i always just prepare for the worst, every time there's an update i just prepare for megumi's funeral so it wouldnt hurt too much. ehe. its rough being a megumi stan in this trying times...
I’m always a Stan of the characters that get hurt ;(. But megumi better pull thru cuz this is also the only reason I’m reading…I get way too attached to fictional characters. There have been so many times that—anime or just a show— I have gotten mad bc the characters I love don’t get what they deserve. Aot being one of them, imo, Eren deserved so much better (yes I’m team Eren don’t judge lol). A show called Supernatural, I hated the ending cuz my fav character got done so dirty. It’s so tough favoriting the “secondary main character” if that makes sense. In MHA, shoto is my favorite and right now he’s like working with his dad (WHO ABUSED HIM) like it makes me so upset, while bitch ass deku complains about not having powers to people who are abused for theirs, or judged for theirs (like shiggy and the mind conrtrol guy, I forgot his name). Srry for the off topic rant, but I have no one to talk about this irl, cuz no one watches or reads jjk, and everyone I know isn’t on erens side lmao
we were just doomed to suffer the moment we started liking megumi's character T-T. i hate getting attached to fictional characters coz i get too into it, so i avoided the mainstream anime/manga scene for a good while. tho i did watch a bit of aot and mha - but i ran away before i got too deep lmao. i just knew that i would get attached to levi and todoroki, coz for some reason my faves are never the main character. :(
it wouldve been easier if yuuji was my fave, i mean i like him too but ever since i saw that scene in jjk s1 where megumi was clutching that bag of sweets with his forehead bleeding, he had me on a chokehold T-T. i couldn't get away in time and now here i am suffering coz the fictional character is about to (possibly) die aaaa! i just need him to be happy... but gege wants to see him suffer
he isnt the main character but his role in the story is so interesting and i need to see him actually grow and improve. honestly, for me, his story is a lot more interesting compared to anyone else in the cast.. but that's just my bias speaking ehehe...
there are still a lot of things that needs some answer regarding his character, like when will he learn about toji, or what was up with that contract saying he will become zenin head if gojo is incapacitated/dead - i dont think that was ever explained it was just put there like 'btw, megumi will inherit if gojo dies'. it would also be cool to see what happened between gojo and the zenin, like how did he stop that sale. megumi got the ten shadows, i dont think the zenin let him go that easy. and many more...
but gege is an unpredictable cat so every update i just prepare myself for megumi's death, like if he wanna kill megs do it now so i can leave jeez... im just kidding, im actually forming a prayer circle rn so gege would let my boy live ┗( T﹏T )┛
(also dw about off topic rant! i was ranting on here too coz the people around me are tired of hearing me talk about jjk/megumi and they dont watch it too T-T.)
Yooooo wat da fak!!!! Yuji what about yer plans bro what! What happened to that!? Why he just sitting there accepting the ‘possibility’ of gojo forgetting about Megumi? I know he didn’t, btw. This fight has been dragging for too long I need it to end for my sanity... if gege’s gonna kill Megumi just do it right now o my gahd, every goddamn week I fear for megumi’s life. End this misery I beg! But honestly if Megumi dies like this that would be the most feels bad and tragic thing and I would stop reading for real. I’m still holding off watching season 2 coz I can’t watch that shit while I’m worrying about manga Megumi. I need to know he’s safe before I can even watch the anime and actually enjoy it. Megumi needs to be isekai’d away from this mess, he needs to be in an au where Toji isn’t a deadbeat and the Zenin clan is not the way they are and his mother is alive and everything is fine. Please I need this fictional character to smile again it’s been months aaaaaaa!!! Why’d gege name him ‘megumi’ if his just gonna suffer like this!
