Megumi Fushiguro is a fictional character from the manga and anime series Jujutsu Kaisen, created by Gege Akutami. He is a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High and one of the main protagonists alongside Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki. Megumi is a descendant of the Zenin clan who inherited the prestigious Ten Shadows Technique, one of the most powerful cursed techniques in the jujutsu world. His stoic demeanor, moral complexity, and immense untapped potential make him a central figure in the series' overarching plot.

What Is Megumi's Backstory?

Megumi is the son of Toji Fushiguro, the infamous assassin who possessed zero cursed energy, and was raised by Gojo Satoru after Toji sold him to the Zenin clan. Gojo intervened, taking responsibility for Megumi and his stepsister Tsumiki, ensuring they were protected from the Zenin clan's exploitation. This upbringing under Gojo's protection shaped Megumi into a capable sorcerer while keeping him free from the clan's political machinations. His relationship with his absent father and his duty to protect Tsumiki drive many of his decisions.

What Is the Ten Shadows Technique?

The Ten Shadows Technique is an inherited cursed technique of the Zenin clan that allows the user to summon shikigami, powerful spirit creatures, using shadows as a medium. Megumi can summon various shikigami including Divine Dogs, Nue, Toad, and others, each with distinct abilities. The ultimate shikigami, Mahoraga, is so powerful that no Ten Shadows user has ever successfully tamed it. The technique is historically considered equal in power to the Gojo clan's Limitless technique, with a legendary battle between wielders of both ending in mutual destruction.

Why Is Megumi Important to the Plot?

Megumi's potential is recognized by multiple characters as extraordinary. Both Gojo and the King of Curses Sukuna take special interest in him for different reasons. Gojo sees Megumi as someone who could surpass him, while Sukuna covets the Ten Shadows Technique for his own plans. This dual interest makes Megumi a pivotal figure in the power struggles of the jujutsu world. His character arc explores whether he can live up to the potential others see in him while staying true to his own values.
