okay, i think some of y'all has forgotten so im here to remind people. megumi is not something specifically made to be a cage like yuji. he should be gone gone the moment sukuna shoved that finger down his throat. the fact that he was able to hold back sukuna's power down that low in chapter 212 was a feat that some people like to downplay. he should not be able to do that, coz he was not made by kenjaku to be a cage like yuji.
And people comparing Yuji and megumi's suffering and calling Megumi weak for not getting up IMMEDIATELY. Like why are we acting like Yuji got up on his own? Like no one helped him every time he broke down? Chapter 8, yuji let sukuna completely take over, and Megumi helped him out by telling yuji he never regretted helping him. He needed someone's words to bring him back up.
Then Shibuya happened. I think some of y'all forgot this, but yuji GAVE UP in Shibuya (in an eerily the same manner that megumi is giving up rn). If Todo did not teleport him to safety at the right moment he would be dead. And then he was given a pep talk by the man Todo himself, coz he was crying on the floor from all the traumatizing shit he had to go through (which is understandable, they're just kids ffs). Not only that but nitta gave him false hope too by making him believe that there's a sliver of hope for nobara. Only then did he stand up to fight again.
After Shibuya, Yuji was roaming around with no direction coz he gave up then too. He would have willingly went to jujutech to get that execution and have all this thing be over with. He didnt fight back against yuta, coz he thinks he deserves death. because to him, as long as he's around people will suffer, in that moment he gave up too. Because he blamed himself for everything. But Megumi gave him a reason to keep moving forward. Megumi didnt come up to Yuji to say 'it was not your fault' coz he knows that shit won't work. Instead what Megumi said was 'it is our fault' sharing the burden of blame with Yuji as well. And 'start by saving me' to give Yuji a reason to push forward. Only then did Yuji decide to live a little longer. He was planning on dying after helping Megumi.
Yuji persisted because the people around him keeps giving him a reason to do so. megumi, nanami, todo and then megumi again.. all gave him reasons to live.
But Megumi is alone in the abyss for a goddamn month.. and the only person he was living for died by his hands. like what do people expect? If he stands up like nothing happened, what did sukuna even do all that effort for?
if megumi just bounces back like that, what did sukuna even do all that for? he waited for the proper moment to say 'enchain' (at the highest point of megumi's confusion), he risked his life just to get inside megumi, did some evil bath ritual that only uraume could do, which shouldve been enough to sink megumi's soul coz, AGAIN, he is not specifically made to be a cage like yuji. but sukuna wanna be extra sure so he targeted megumi's sister, was lucky enough that tsumiki was possesed by his number 1 stan so he didnt have to go looking for her, used 10s while fighting 'tsumiki' so megumi would blame himself further. and to add to that, refused to shift to his ogform against gojo - coz megumi already killed his sister, why not kill his teacher too? like - all that effort and planning! successfully done! and y'all wanted megumi to brush it all off IMMEDIATELY like... how?????
(if anyone managed to read this far, i just wanna leave you with a theory: yuji is the last horcrux. he's literally harry potter. thats my theory bye.)
I read all the way until the end, and we need more people like you, fr. this was so well-written!!! ty for pointing out that megumi CANNOT bounce back like that. I feel like some people forget that he's just a 15 year old boy who lost the only two people he could call family. my little pookie bear, I feel for him :(((
Agreed
i think we are all witnessing gege's fever dream from when he was 9 years old... what in the world is this...
I have been seeing this a lot on twtr but are any of the people here under the assumption that megumi was about to summon mahoraga against todo in chapter 17? Like does anyone actually, genuinely think he was about to summon his untamed murderous pet against a fellow student?
I know this is old, but it baffles my mind a little how people think this... T-T
its just an inside joke lol i doubt anyone actually thinks that unless they dont know sarcasm
I see… I guess, maybe, it’s an inside joke to some but a gospel for others since I’ve seen people genuinely believe it. Some pulling up ‘receipts’ to ‘prove’ that megumi was indeed about to kill himself and his classmate over a school fight.
But then again, whenever I’m on twtr I always see some really bizarre narrative regarding jjk - like, some people there believe that gojo paid meimei to promote his students lmao. So it shouldn’t really matter... I was just surprised at the amount of people who keeps on repeating that narrative regarding megumi and todo. (⊙…⊙ )
Yuuji out here bringing in his lawyer so they can prove that Sukuna violated the binding vow... this is truly our jujutsu kaisen.
Yuuji: sukuna, your very existence is harmful to the environment. You harmed people the moment you said ‘enchain’! You violated the binding vow!
Sukuna: noooo!!!!
Kashimo: you’re so beautiful, sukuna-senpai!! Kyaa!!
That’s how sukuna would get his kaisen truly jujutsu’d, it’s true - gege told me himself. （￣へ￣）
Did he tell you how he'll bring back our fav hubby?
This is what I have been waiting for in the entire gojo vs sukuna fight! For sukuna to go OG form and finally wield that gift from yorozu! He is now showing his whole bag of tricks! This means we are getting closer in seeing what megumi is doing in the void! I'm telling y’all when megumi emerges from the abyss i will be here. Trust.
Sukuna transforming doesnt mean that megumi aint coming back when that guy transformed back when he bit hana’s arm off. This is a magic manga, Megumi will find a way. Transforming back to his og body has been something that sukuna was able to do right from the start - he was just intentionally not doing it until now. When gojo set that date for their fight, there is no way in hell he wasn't expecting to fight sukuna’s og form in shinjuku. He literally gave sukuna the chance to go full power on him by delaying their fight for a month. That was why he asked sukuna why he was still using megumi’s face at the beginning of the fight, he was expecting to fight the og form of sukuna back then. The whole gang was expecting him to fight in his og form (fully incarnated) yet they still had a plan. Yuta, yuuji and Maki all have something cooking - they just need to weaken sukuna first. Maki has that soul liberation sword (which could potentially kill Megumi’s soul too, lmao) and Yuuji has that soul swapping ability (which we know nothing about yet) and yuta is a copy ninja - gege can literally pull anything out of his ass and he can just explain it away with “well, he copy stuff. Idk” Yuta has been away for a long time, he has a lot in his bag that we haven’t seen yet.
When megumi wins his body back he can transform it back to the shape of HIS soul. This unsmiling, urchin looking, grumpy boi is coming back - one way or another. Megumi is just chilling in the void right now, let’s just let sukuna have his 1vs1 for now.
The chances of yuuji dying back when he ate sukuna’s finger was high as fuck, but because of plot he lived and was in fact a custom made cage for sukuna all along. When sukuna force fed Megumi that freshly made cursed finger - the chances of him dying right then and there was also high as fuck. But somehow, Megumi was able to hold sukuna without his body imploding on the spot. We will see Megumi fight back y’all, it's just not his time to shine right now.
I know it feels like forever but megumi has only been possessed for 25 chapters, more than half of that chapter is just sukuna and gojo having a bromance in Shinjuku, while the other half are the students figuring out how to release gojo from jail. Sukuna has been after megumi’s body since chapter 10 and he only got it in chapter 212, of course megumi won't be able to free himself that quickly in just 25 chapters! A lot of shit is gonna go down first. I'm no longer on the gege train when it comes to his characterization but when it comes to oonga boonga fights, that guy never miss (much). The set up for megumi’s fight is just not happening yet, and won't be until later chapters. Right now it's kashimo’s time to shine, and maybe later we will see hakari vs uraume too. I may no longer trust gege that we will get a proper send off for megumi (or anyone for that matter), but i trust that we will see megumi fight - even if it's the last time.
If/when Megumi dies we will see him in his own airport having 1vs1 with toji while tsumiki eats some pop corn on the side with their mom singing kumbaya in the background. Everyone that died had some final words to say before leaving, gege will not do this to my boy meg mi. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Remember when sukuna said “there are consequences in being too greedy” (or something like that) - right now, this is him being greedy. Possessing a body that he (apparently) didn’t need to win. This greedy bastard wanted 10s so bad he orchestrated an elaborate plan, gambled with his life at stake - just to take it. And now his getting power ups left and right. He is getting too greedy, retributions are in order. I shall sit here and await his downfall. For now, enjoy the fights - I guess? This is a sorcery battle manga after all.
i'm not even a gojo fan, but wtf happened to his character this chapter? in the airport he was waffling about how lonely it is at the top, coz it seems that's all his character (suddenly) ever cared about. like, the gojo from the earlier chapters who had a dream and ambition vanished into thin air and was replaced by this gojo who cared more about how lonely/sad it must be for sukuna (since he didn't get to go all out) than the entire state of the world he left. i get that maybe gojo has always been this way and im just a dumbass, that maybe he never cared about anything but fighting - but if he was going to be just this shallow character, who only ever wanted to fight a stronger opponent, then why bother making him explain to ijichi the reason why he chose to be a teacher, despite knowing how shit he would be as one? why tell us that gojo wanted to change the rotten system of jujutsu by fostering strong and intelligent allies through education? where was the gojo who was mad because 3 of his students was sent on a suicide mission behind his back? why go out of his way to ensure that the kid of the guy he killed gets taken care of? what was the point of him fighting the higher ups to extend yuuji's life just because a student asked him to do something about it? are you telling me that he did all that just so he can have the chance to fight a full power sukuna someday? all the stuff we saw from the earlier-gojo was just him acting then? the reason why he recruited all those students with potential was because he gets off on fighting a stronger opponent?
i understand he was never a good 'teacher' - but does he have to be such a shit character as well? its not even about how much he sucked sukuna's dick in the afterlife, its that 'saving' sukuna from the loneliness of being the strongest seemed to matter to him more than achieving his own (supposed) goals. sukuna's satisfaction is more important than his students' safety it seems. who the hell was that gojo at the airport? i dont even know him.
the man implies he died with no regrets when he didnt even achieve a single goal, never won the battles in his life that mattered the most, never kept any of his promises, none of his students are ready to challenge him let alone the guy who beat his ass. what did his character achieve in this damn manga man.. i dont even know. i know gojo was only ever a teacher in name but never really acted like one, he was a recruiter - a good one at that since he can see a person's potential at a glance, but even so i still thought that he gave a damn about the students. my bad, i guess.
turns out the man was just an arrogant, selfish prick who is so self centered he died with no regrets just because he went out satiating his battle-lust - even though his death achieved nothing. what about the students that he left behind to deal with the threat that he could do nothing about, you say? fuck them i guess, who cares? at least he is satisfied with the fight. he only wished that sukuna was as satisfied as him. what in the world happened to gojo satoru, man.. who is this guy. i think they opened the wrong box because its not gojo that came out but someone else entirely. a sukuna fanboy came out of the damn box. maybe yorozu possessed him because who the hell was that guy. also, why in the world was he thinking about yorozu's quote? was he there when she said that? wtf
this wouldnt feel as bad if gojo died at the expense of pushing sukuna to throw all his cards on the table. but no, sukuna kept his secrets while gojo all but danced naked in front of sukuna showing him ALL his tricks.
i knew gojo would die (or at least be incapacitated) in this fight, i did not care if he lives or dies - i was even looking forward to see how it would happen - but i did not expect that along with his life his character would also be assassinated like this. THE gojo satoru, devolved into a little kid who is just happy that big brother sukuna acknowledged him. there's no coming back from this.
im not mad at gojo (he's a damn fictional character), im infuriated at the person who led us to believe that there's more to gojo than being a brainless battlefreak. if gege gives this death an actual meaning in the next chapters then it'll be too damn late because the damage has been done - gojo's last thoughts is dedicated mostly to how sad he is that sukuna was not able to go all out. he wants his feelings to reach sukuna-senpai through the fight so much, he gave it his all! lmao! amazing. brilliant even. wonderful! FANTASTIC! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
damn, cant believe i wrote an essay for a character not even on my top 5 faves, look what you made me do gege!
Nobara’s death being a ‘maybe she’s dead, but maybe she’s not’ situation was shit. But i got over that because its been so long gege probably forgot about her. Yuki’s death was so damn useless i dont even know what to say about that. Tsumiki’s death was a goddamn joke, i cant even laugh, because gege never gave us a chance to care about her. White dog dying felt more devastating than that. Gojo’s death had the potential to have the same impact in the story as jiraiya’s in naruto, but no, we are given this instead. Gojo died without achieving a single thing, but its okay coz he's ‘satisfied’. Gtfo.
If this is indeed gojo’s end then that answers geto’s question to him back then. He is gojo satoru because he is the strongest. Who is he if he is not the strongest? A dead man. The moment someone learned how to bypass his infinity he fucking snapped in half, he is only as good as his infinity let him it seems. What a tragic end. This wouldn't be as bad if he achieved a single thing before that, but nah.. gege doesnt want that.
Im not mad that gojo died, im just disappointed at the way his death was handled because i just lost all my trust in the writer. If the most popular character in the manga gets his character assassinated like this, nobody is safe. All my megumi copium just went down the drain, he is not gonna get a proper ending. We will see him in the afterlife next saying “sukuna, what a man you are” and in the next panel we will see his body transform and become heian era sukuna. Goot bai meg mi… have fun in the abyss. (▰˘◡˘▰)
Well I like Gojo enough to put him in top 5 fav characters of jjk, for the reasons that he's quite a contradictory character, not kind or oh so great as many ppl seem to think and that caught my interest. So I agree with your points about Gege's possibly badwriting skills and defamation of Gojo. Just one thing that caught my eye about your question 'did he agree to Megumi's request for stalling Yuji's execution so he could fight Sukuna in his full form?' as a matter of fact I used to think that was a yes bcz remember after Junpei case wrapped up just before Yuuji came back to Kyoto exchange, he asked Nanami where the finger was and Nanami said he gave it to higher-up because if he gave it to Gojo, Gojo would just feed it to Yuuji and he didn't deny it at all. Now if I were a teacher and with each finger found my own student would be closer to: 1) order of execution -even tho I know he cud circle around it once again if he wanted, using his authority as the strongest, or 2) died due to unable to control Sukuna as Yuuji was an unprecedented case and not even Gojo knew back then how many finger consuming was safe before Yuuji snapped and Sukuna came out in full, if I were him I would want to delay it as long as I could at least until Yuuji becomes stronger. That doesn't seem to be the case for Gojo tho and this Gojo insight displayed in this chapter just kinda back up my opinion. Like Gojo cares for his students but at the same time he also seems to have his own priorities that is tied to his inflated ego as the strongest, which is something other characters have insinuated about.
Well said, it would have been better off if they had left him sealed. What a useless fight that achieved nothing, they're still at the same point they were before they unsealed him, with the added advantage of Sakuna now having the power to one shot slash anything and everything. How they beat that will require some ass pull writing like the power of friendship or the true power was always within them. And imagine what his students would think knowing in Gojo last moments, sakuna's satisfaction was all he could worry about. The sensei they all loved didn't even spare them a thought in his last moments. What a let down! #－.－)
he is contradictory indeed.... And i do understand that from the beginning the goal was to feed yuuji all the finger so when he finally eats all 20 he will get executed and the cursed fingers will die with him. That means that from the start gojo was intending to fight a 20 finger sukuna in yuuji’s body. I guess what im trying to say is, was that the only reason - from the beginning to the end? yuuji was just a promise of a good fight for him?… he was really gonna use a kid’s body to satiate his hunger for a good fight,..?
i mean, that's fine too i suppose.
but then why did he get mad when yuuji died? it couldnt be because he lost the chance to fight sukuna, because in that morgue with ijichi he started talking about the reason why he chose to be a teacher. and not a single line in that monologue did he say anything about wanting to fight sukuna.
maybe in the beginning that was indeed the only reason, but as chapters pass and we learn more about gojo's dreams and his hope for the future - did that not change? or is yuuji just 'sukuna's vessel' in gojo's eyes until the end?
and, let's say that sukuna wasnt lying when he said that gojo hid the last finger to stall yuuji's execution even further - i dont trust that guy so i dont really know what happened to the last finger - but let's just assume that gojo really did hide it. then why did he do that? was he just gonna hand it to sukuna so he would get his full power, like how goku handed cell that senzu bean? or was sukuna right and he did hide it to stall the execution? am i taking this magic battle manga a little too seriously than normal? lmao
i know all these questions can only be answered by the writer himself, so it doesnt even matter.
and i know that gojo is a narcissist with a god complex (because he was indeed a god in jjkverse), and that at the same time he does care about the students - its just a bummer that the gojo we saw in the afterlife was just the selfish and battle-hungry version, and not a smidge of his side that cares, i guess. or maybe there was a slight version of him that cared when he mentioned megumi's dad a bit. but still... Just that? He had fewer words to say when he got captured by the prison realm, yet it felt more impactful than the poetry he waxed for sukuna in the afterlife.
He did agree to save yuuji because he thinks he can win against a full power sukuna and wants to fight him too at the same time. I just thought that along the way it stopped being all about the opportunity to fight sukuna and more about trying to help a student with potential. im not even against the idea of gojo being a part-time selfish battle junkie who cares about nothing but finding a worthy opponent, i just wished gege showed that more in the earlier chapters (and not the version of him with all that hopes and dreams) - so that this version of gojo wouldn't feel so sudden and out of place. I guess my main problem with the chapter is how drastically it changed gojo as a character for me?
I mean, I like sukuna (im not a sukuna fan but he is probably top 2 or 3 on my list) and if in the moment of defeat he starts thinking about how he did all that just so he would be able to reach gojo and make him understand, I would be very pissed ngl. The sukuna who only does things for his pleasure. The sukuna who hijacked a kid’s body (Megumi! T-T) just because he can. The sukuna who would cut off your scalp if you didn't bow low enough. The sukuna who did nothing but traumatize yuuji and make megumi’s life more miserable than it already is. That sukuna, saying stuff like “I gave my all to be able to reach gojo, to make him understand my feelings” would be such a bruh moment, I would not recover for a month.
It's how this afterlife gojo feels like. The gojo satoru who was always portrayed as an annoying narcissist with a god complex, who was not a benevolent person that wants to save each and every one he comes across - i mean, he did not care about the people dying all around him in shibuya as long as they did not die by his hands - and yet at the same time he wants a better future for the youth, wanting them to not be robbed of their youth just because they are sorcerers, wants a better system for them so no one would end up like his best friend again. And on this man’s final moment all he can think about is how sad it was that he wasnt good enough to make sukuna go all out. Seeing gojo say so much about sukuna yet saying nothing about the students he claimed he wanted to foster to thwart the rotten jujutsu system just felt.. weird. My face was like this
The power to defeat sukuna was inside yuuji all along of course. because its that binding vow! I dont think that was the last we see of that vow back in ch 212. It will come back and bite sukuna in the ass. trust.
-_- in his entire monologue.
also, about him just feeding yuuji cursed fingers without care - i think that was because after yuuji came back to life he started to have a safety net. he told sukuna that coming back to life as yuuji was a mistake, because they learned that he can just res. so i think that moment of yuuji coming back to life gave gojo confidence, in a way.
when he told yuuji to eat that finger at the crematorium (before he knew that sukuna can ressurect yuuji), he was ready to fight him then and there - but when yuuji was able to hold sukuna back he became sure that yuuji is indeed a cage and thus may be able to handle all 20. that, plus the fact that a few weeks (or days?) after that they learned that sukuna can res yuuji, probably gave him the confidence to just feed yuuji fingers whenever they have one. without putting him in too much danger. still dangerous! but not too too much?
Sorry, I probably left the point somewhere in my ramblings. But I do hope I make sense at least. im not saying my interpretation is the correct one or anything! its just a little different, i guess?
(this site do not accept emojis i keep getting cut dammit)
i cant believe it has only been 10 chapters, this fight feels so long its like we've been here for years. im no sukuna fan but i want to see him do something other than defend, goddamit. but i dont want him to win, but i dont want him to lose like this, but i want megumi to come out of this alive aggghhh. this whole decisive battle is stressful af since im not even rooting for either gojo or sukuna, i just need to hear from megumi again. megumi! get the fuck up (╯°Д °)╯╧╧. i wish sukuna possessed panda instead so i wouldnt be this stressed! If that was someone else’s body I'd be cheering everytime gojo gets a W, but I can't even be happy when he landed that black flash coz that's Megumi in there! Agh!
copium ahead
no. 1 reason why megumi cant die (at least not like this): we need to see his domain at maximum potential! chimera shadow garden is one of the coolest domains (im biased), we better see that shit fully realized or istg!
his slow progress towards perfecting his domain was the only one shown out of all the students iirc. yuta, hakari, mechamaru and todo are all the students able to cast a domain expansion (two of those are simple domains) - but it is something that they already have. meanwhile, megumi's domain was the only one we witness from its conception (not counting mahito or naoya for obvious reasons) and gege gradually illustrated its improvement in all the times megumi used it.
1st time casting; succeeded in defeating a special grade but domain is incomplete. he threw up and collapsed immediately after using it coz domain expansion is draining af (emphasized when mahito created his domain vs nanami & yuuji)
2nd time casting; still incomplete, but he was able to maintain it longer than the first time without collapsing/throwing up. was still able to fight toji afterwards, got hit by a sneak stab from the random annoying twink (i think they fought a little off screen too) and still have energy to summon makora. at face value it might seem like not much but considering how he only got to casting that incomplete domain just recently, that is a commendable feat.
3rd time casting; still incomplete. but not only was he able to hold it for longer we are now starting to see it take shape. its no longer just a formless mass of shadow, it now has a spine looking thing with veins and shit in the middle - despite him being unable to create a barrier for his domain, thats still a big progress! The word ‘chimera’ in his domain’s name is slowly starting to make sense! It's very clear that gege wants to take this somewhere promising.
Overall his domain is slowly but surely improving each time, all he has to do is overcome that mental block and i dont know a better way to do that than be quite literally trapped in your own mind and face yourself. I'm 60% sure that what we're seeing everytime Megumi gets a cameo is him in his own innate domain, he doesn't seem to be sharing an innate domain with sukuna like yuuji was back then. yes, he's just laying there right now - but he will get up!（/TДT)/
i doubt that slow progress on megumi’s domain was shown only for it to never have a pay off. not only would that be lame it would also be a waste of all that build up. Leaving Megumi with a half done character arc will just be so sad man I don't believe gege would do that to a character he built up this carefully. megumi's comeback is gonna be euphoric after all this suffering┗( T﹏T )┛until then i'll just trust the process.
tldr; megumi will rise from the shadow. trust.
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!
I agree with everything u said . Gojo better not forget about his “son”
It's fine if you stop reading it, it's nearly ending anyway. They said they'll end the manga this year. There's always a possibility of Gege killing all of them in the end. Keep reading it if you love pain like me .
Nahh y would they do that to us?!
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
Lmfao the only reason I'm reading this
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
Nanami* srry auto correct
Also, i haven’t even read all the manga I kinda just picked up somewhere so I kinda know what’s going on, but some ppl I have no idea who they are lmaooo. I like to spoil anime’s and shows for myself cuz I’m too impatient.
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...
Not Megumi please. :(
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.)
Agree, if Megumi die, kill Yuji and Nobara too so they can be together in heaven. At least I know he won't be alone, there's his mom, dad, and Tsumiki too.
So we all just here torturing ourselves with this huh
gege's solution when there are unresolved background stories is to just have the characters not care about it :D
