Megumi Fushiguro is undoubtedly one of the Jujutsu Kaisenthe most controversial characters. Despite being the show's deuteragonist (as well as its second most important character), he didn't get the chance to show off his immense power very often, and as a result his popularity among fans slowly began to wane.
Jujutsu Kaisen: The 5 Weakest Cursed Techniques in Culling, Ranked
Although the Culling game had some of the strongest characters in the series, there were also some cursed techniques.
Despite this, Fushiguro is still a strong and skilled wizard who has mastered many techniques and abilities effortlessly, which is especially evident when looking at his performance in some of the earlier arcs of the series. Needless to say, Fushiguro proved how overwhelmed there are actually several times in the story Jujutsu Kaisenbut the following seven moments are among the most famous of the entire series.
Divine Dogs debut
They proved what experienced wizards are capable of
-
Chapter 1 (Manga) Episode 1 (Manga)
It's easy to forget that Megumi Fushiguro was technically the first wizard to ever use a cursed technique Jujutsu Kaisen (I don't count Jujutsu Kaisen 0Of course). When he arrived at Itadori's high school to save him and his classmates from all the cursed spirits that Sukun's finger was attracting, he quickly demonstrated his signature ability: The Ten Shadow Technique.
Fushiguro summoned two dog shikigami who spoke up God's dogsand the trio began mowing down the hordes of cursed spirits that attempted to attack them. In the very first episode of the series, Fushiguro effectively proved how powerful and versatile wizards can be, showing how much rookies like Itadori would have to train to reach his level.
Divine Hound: Totality
An evolution of one of his previously nerfed techniques
-
Chapter 47 (Manga) Episode 19 (Manga)
At one point in the story, Fushigura's white shikigami dog was suddenly killed by a powerful cursed spirit, making it impossible for him to ever summon it again. However, due to how the Ten Shadow Technique works, all of the deceased white dog's power was absorbed by its black-colored companion and helped it evolve into a stronger version of itself, the so-called Divine Hound: Totality.
Fushiguro effectively used this brand new shikigami in his clash against Hanami (one of the most powerful cursed spirits in the world) and was able to visibly injure him with his breakneck speed, sharp claws, and immense physical strength. Needless to say, Fushiguro still used this new Divine Dog in many subsequent battles against other powerful opponents, proving just how powerful he was.
The surviving Ryomen Sukuna
He faced the main villain very early in the series
-
Chapter 9 (Manga) Episode 5 (Manga)
Megumi Fushiguro has always had a very complicated relationship with the main antagonist of the series, Ryomen Sukunaas the so-called King of Curses set his sights on him very early in the story. As a result, after Sukuna took control of Itadori's body during the mission, he did not hesitate to confront Fushiguro to test his abilities.
6 Jujutsu Kaisen characters that have already died in JJK Modulo
JJK Modulo has already accumulated losses. Many characters from the original Jujutsu Kaisen story have already died.
Fushiguro had always been quite strong, but he was nowhere near Sukuna's level at this point, and yet he was forced to face him when he fought some cursed spirits. Despite these unfortunate circumstances, he actually took care of himself surprisingly well, using his shikigami to put some distance between himself and the Curse King while quickly dodging his destructive attacks. While Fushiguro was unable to save Itadori's life during this battle, the fact that he was able to go all out against Sukun and live to tell the tale is incredibly impressive.
To become Sukun's new vessel
His immense power indirectly ruined his life
Unfortunately, Megumi Fushiguro wasn't very involved in the final arcs of the story Jujutsu Kaisen as his body was possessed by Ryomen Sukuna and he essentially became his second vessel. However, it's actually quite an impressive feat and an undeniable testament to how inherently strong Fushiguro has always been.
Sukuna had spent his entire life (literally hundreds of years) working to create the perfect vessel for his reincarnation, leading to the birth of Yuji Itadori, yet the moment he looked at Fushiguro, he immediately realized that he would be much stronger if he used his body and his techniques instead. Sukuna needed his shikigami to face the great Satoru Gojo and be able to use their full potential, but he would never have been able to if Fushiguro hadn't been powerful from the start.
Chimera Shadow Garden
His domain extension was incredibly powerful, despite being incomplete
-
Chapter 58 (Manga) Episode 23 (Manga)
Domain extensions are a cursed wizard's ultimate technique, undeniable proof that they have reached the peak of their power. Megumi Fushiguro was able to conjure up her own name, Domain Expansion Chimera Shadow Gardenbut it had a caveat: it was incomplete. Yet it was still incredibly useful and he wielded it effectively against many powerful enemies.
Chimera Shadow Garden floods the area with a sea of dark shadows that allow its user to summon multiple shikigami at the same time, essentially overwhelming them with an army of powerful beasts (and even his clones). Fushiguro used his incomplete domain extension to defeat Finger Bearer and Reggie Star and even infiltrate Dagon's own domain extension. If he could complete it, the Chimera Shadow Garden would definitely become one of the most powerful techniques in the entire series.
Beating Reggie Star
He fought one on one against one of the most powerful wizards in The Culling Game
Like many others Jujutsu Kaisen Unfortunately, Megumi Fushiguro has lost some relevance towards the latter parts of the manga, especially after he was possessed by Sukuna. However, he had one excellent solo fight before that, during the Culling Game Arc, when he faced only one Reggie Stara reincarnated wizard from the past.
Jujutsu Kaisen: The 5 Strongest Physical Fighters in the Series, Ranked
In a series full of broken and crazy techniques, they stand out as the strongest physical fighters in Jujutsu Kaisen.
This battle perfectly conveys how much stronger, faster, smarter and more skilled Fushiguro has become over the course of the series as he uses his shikigami and the expansion of his domain in clever ways that allow him to overpower and outwit his opponent. This has to be his funniest and most exciting solo fight in the entire series, and it's a real shame that he didn't get to fight anyone else by himself until the end of the story.
Summoning Mahorag For the first time
The Shibuya incident forced him to reveal his ultimate Shikigami
-
Chapter 117 (Manga) Episode 41 (Manga)
Everyone knows that Eight-Handed Divergent Sword Sila Divine General Mahoraga is the most powerful shikigami in Fushigura's arsenal and a testament to how powerful his ten shadow technique is. After confronting several powerful opponents during the Shibuya Incident Arc, Fushiguro was so severely injured that he was forced to summon Mahoraga, explicitly claiming that he was an uncontrollable shikigami and that someone else would have to exorcise him.
Not only is the Mahoraga extremely strong, durable, and agile, but it also boasts a special ability that allows it to adapt to any phenomena, essentially making it nearly invincible. Ryomen Sukuna was able to face and banish the Mahoraga in an amazing (yet terrifying) fight that destroyed most of the Shibuya Guard, not to mention that this shikigami's existence is the main reason why the Curse King chose Fushiguro as his next vessel, eventually summoning him to face Satoru Gojo during their climactic battle.
