By saying that Megumi should just "get up and lock in" people are invalidating everything that Sukuna has done to assure that it wouldn't happen. You all are underestimating the villain, like always. Sukuna said that Megumi had the potential to become a cage for him exactly like Yuji, so he had to wait until his soul broke to take over him. So Megumi got possessed by 16 fingers Sukuna (we now know it was 16 fingers and not 15) all at once after his soul was already in shambles. Not even Yuji could keep control after eating 10 fingers in one sitting. Even after this Megumi was able to fight back and lower Sukuna's CE, which is the reason why Yuji and Maki didn't get killed and which surprised Sukuna. So then his soul had to be suppressed a second time with the bath, drowing it in negative emotions and basically pure evilness. That was also not enough to be sure he wouldn't fight back and so Sukuna killed his sister. It was a chain of events. Sukuna literally cursed with the whole "he will lose all will to live". Then after that Megumi's soul stayed in the abyss for more than a month. By comparison even in Shibuya Yuji stayed possessed for like an hour and he was totally broken and later had to get a speech from Todo. Imagine more than a month. Then Megumi's soul took 5 UVs which, even tho are only dangerous when hitting the brain, must have not been pleasant. Then he killed Gojo, who Megumi cared about, and then hurt his friends. What happened in 251 was realistic: he isn't sitting back expecting to be saved without doing anything, he is telling Yuji to forget about saving him and finish the job. Continuing to fight to save him is YUJI'S choice and it's important for his character. Megumi's moment will come, but he needs support and probably a motivational speech like Yuji got from Todo. Having a bit of compassion and patience will pay off in the end for the fans that can understand the situation and aren't driven by agendas
@@humanhuman6536 People act as if Megumi is just there waiting to be saved when it's not the case. He is basically taking back the whole "start by saving me", reassuring Yuji that it's ok to kill him and that he wants to die. Berating Megumi for that also diminishes Yuji's choice to keep wanting to save him, which could become even more important in case Yuta and the others have actually given up on Megumi. Yuji is actively doing it and it's crucial for his character, especially after he literally failed to save everyone he tried to and had so many people die in front of him (grandpa, Junpei, Nanami, Nobara, Gojo, Higuruma and now Choso), plus obviously seeing Megumi get possessed. Managing to save at least one person is important for him
@@MyUsernameIsGoofy im a megumi hater not because he is sad or loose fights, but because he is such a wasted character, every interesting thing abaut him was not explored
Sukuna: "now we can do this the easy way or the hard way, the choice is yours" Megumi: "with this treasure I-" Sukuna: "I see you wanna do this the hard way"
Sukuna is a gold digger, married him so he can immediately divorce him and take his wealth. But still lets him stay in the house because he never went to school to learn any skills and she needs him navigating the social circles of the elites.
People seem to forget Yuji has had Sukuna take over him for a total of maybe an hour? The fights with Jogo and Mahoraga probably lasted 15 minutes and that still almost broke Yuji if not for Todo being there. Megumi has been taken over for months now without anyone to pull him out + he had the supressing ritual done + he got hit with the strain of multiple Infinite Voids. It shouldn't be a surprise that he broke.
The difference being Yuji has to be weakened, him choosing to give the body or needing a binding vow to take control, megumi got FOLDED, if it was Yuji bro would have already taken control way before the bath
One of the worst things to happen to Animanga discourse, espeically with JJK is fans are unable to view stories and characters like they aren’t celebrities to worship or athletes to idolize. Nobody understands character at all in battle shonen these days outside of power ups and winning fights. The whole point of Megumi is he’s a guy who largely wasn’t really given a choice on being a sorceror, and his real motivator was someone who was largely inactive, and the minute he’s allowed to at respite it’s stolen from him, so the motivator is gone, and then he has his agency stolen from him in a literal sense. He then kills his mentor with his own body. These aren’t “ fumbles” these are explicitly used of his character. The whole point of the Shinjuku Showdown is it’s a Megumi Retrieval Arc. Fans act like there’s only 1 way to execute story and any other way is bad, but no one can actually describe what it is. Discourse in Animanga has devolved into basically a whining cinema sins type of thing, not an ounce of nuance or contextual analysis. I’m here to see if this video goes somewhere different.
Very true. People have a very warped perception of anime and manga and come to ridiculous conclusions and perceptions as a result. JJK, Chainsaw Man, MHA and One Piece first come to mind. Gojo and Makima idolization, MANY sins of MHA fandom and One Piece stocks market, agendas and power scaling community are one of the biggest detriments to reputations and growth of those titles.
your comment would be valid if the same ppl were disagreeing with story elements. they’re not. they’re only making fun of the characters, BECAUSE of the plot that was written for them. Megumi is in fact NOT built to be in this battle. that is a fact story wise like you explained. ppl are just making fun of the fact that he isn’t. nobody is saying it’s bad writing outside of megumi fans who feel he should have been “done better.” in short, everyone whose meme-ing on megumi 100% agrees with his nuance story analysis.
Im one of those people who tend to shit on Megumi, but not because of bad writing. I just hate the fact that while everyone else out here is tryna make themselves be useful he's the only one doing the opposite, and he's allowing that to happen to himself. Lets not act like he's never had a crash out moment before when he was backed into a corner.
@@adnwzhreyou would say Itadori wasn't built for this battle back in Shibuya when he gave up in his fight against mahito. But Todo arrived to help. Megumi didn't have anyone because he was trapped in his own body that was being used by the strongest sorcerer in history. He was left alone for basically a month, with his own body that killed his motivator, his teacher, and injured his friends. But people just like to forget this and bring the argument that Itadori killed thousands of innocent people and thugged it out "by himself"
@@xinf3ctdx After the motivational speech of Todo, right? If Todo wasn't there in Shibuya, Yuji would have let Mahito kill him. And dude, just because someone has been involved in the jujutsu world for years, that doesn't make them immune to the horrors they have to face. Just look at a retired soldier with PTSD, mf's been in war for years but still get traumatized, even if they only saw a single friend of them die. It's almost the same thing, just look at how Geto handled the trauma of seeing a single random girl die: becoming a terrorist that hates non-sorcerers. What I'm trying to say is that everyone has their limits and just trying to criticize Megumi's own limits while also ignoring the fact that Yuji almost did the same thing is stupid
i feel like the people who *really* hate megumi are the same ones who hate shinji for not handling well the fact that he was literally tasked to save the word💀
It's like, have some common sense, he's a 16 year old who went through unspeakable tragedies. And it's not like they'd last nearly as long as Megumi did in this world.
Shinji deserved so much better. It always pissed me off how the show himself always criticized Shinji more than Asuka when Shinji actually tried to change when character like Asuka and Gendo were way worse humans
So if your mom and dad left you… and your siblings were killed by your own hands against your will… and your mind was shoved into this abyss of mental pain and agony (so not even your willpower can do anything, because that’s what is getting infected by thoughts that aren’t even your own but now are your own)… getting hit with 5 unlimited voids that are literally burning out your brain like a lit cigarette (and I am not being hyperbolic. Saying you can shrug it off is like saying you can shrug off having pieces of your brain surgically removed. It’s dumb af )… killing your best friends (whoever they may be. I don’t even know if you have friends, siblings, or parents so you may not actually care)…
I dont know why people ignore all megumi has done up until he got body snatched witch was supposed to be a tragic moment even then megumi will likely come back either to help fight the merger or even activate it him self but im sure yuji will be able to give megumi a new reason to live even if it comes at the cost of his own life
i think the entire phenomenon of forgetting previous character development has something to do with the explosion of leak culture. i am absolutely not immune to it myself (i wait for tcb scans that come in earlier than viz), as the excitement about leaks happening are felt much more than the actual narrative weight of the story. and, though it’s a personal peeve of mine, when people see the leaks without a translation, they run with it as though the panel was fully translated with context; it’s like a rush of dopamine before you actually internalize the events. this is especially the case when you read chapters weekly without referring the to previous ones. some of these takes i see online feel like these people read one new chapter per week and take that as the representative of the entire series. something about the overwhelming hype of leaks (sometimes out of context) and the lack of media literacy/reading comprehension make an awful combination that plagues readers
Megumi is a plant at this point , it's best to just kill him along with sukuna now rather than try to save him , they tried it once and yuta was chopped in half , and itadori has to accept the fact he cant save everyone , so he might as well give up and kill megumi so at least the people left he cares about live.
wait, if sukuna fused all the shikigamis and used mahoraga, and they both died, then how would he be able to use them if their all dead, considering sukuna tamed mahoraga too
@@Goofyahhanimations235 i think its already been stated that like , his shikigami are gone like , i guess of all of them died , then there is nothing left for him to use.
At this rate yuji should just kill him , if what the grandpa said back at season 1 about how " yuji should be die surrounded by those who care for him " comes to play , than yuji might as well kill sukuna and die in the process , and he finally goes into the afterlife to be with his family , there is literally nothing left for yuji in the world , his grandpa is gone and he would've been all alone if gojo hadnt taken him to jujutsu high, and now most people he cared about and had a strong bond are gone .
When Yuji goes trough hell and back : it's okay , we love Yuji "Yuji has all right to become a villain" When Megumi goes trough hell and back: Bum Like seriously Jjk fandom what is wrong with you?
Megumi is genuinely one of my favorite characters. People who clown on him for “not having the will to live” just show a lack of emotional intelligence
the thing I hate is that it's not even about him not having the will to live, if he locked just for a second, EVERYTHING WOULD'VE BEEN ALRIGHT, after that sukuna wouldn't have been able to take over his body anymore and they could go back to angel to kill him. Like just a few minutes more
As Megumi’s biggest hater, I gotta admit that you did a really great job pointing out the best elements of his character and the potential he still has narratively
I think the most important thing you've said here is that Gege plays the long game It's always been the case Setups and payoffs are one of the best things about JJK But people still act like the manga is already over after every chapter
Yeah I mean people calling it unreadable or just a mess are still reading it and then saying the same thing after the next chapter it's honestly so tiring
People were flaming the manga because of gojo's comment about sukuna's techniques being ingrained into yuji, and it "not happening", and then when gege actually made it happen they all go silent The people who vigorously follow jjk only for the hype of leaks and action while ignoring the story are the community's biggest problem
Megumi is still my personal favorite. I hate the fact that Sukuna has taken his body. I really wanted to see more of Megumi. He's not a punk, he can fight and win, and he's overall just cool. I'm more upset he's not fighting Sukuna. He would win. I kinda wish he was the Main Character.
When all Sukuna has done over the past couple dozen chapters is win against every single character lining up to fight him, everyone starts to feel like a Potential Man. Even if Nobara was revealed to have survived and might turn the tide for once, for example, she'll probably get shit-stomped just like everyone else.
Speaking of Megumi, there are alot of hates surrounding the deaths of multiple characters like Gojo, Yuki, Choso, Nobara, Nanami, Yaga, Tsumiki, Higuruma, Kashimo, Geto, with people justifying their death that the stakes are high and that it makes the series feel more "realistic". Well I agree with you to a certain degree so let's talk "realistically" shall we? Megumi got hit with 5 unlimited void, witnessed himself kill Tsumiki by his own hands (Sukuna's of course). Gojo died in front of him (the only othe person he cared about) and everyone is telling him that he is a bum for not locking in and fighting Sukuna after all he's been through? What's with the double standard and not understanding the "realistic" argument that you had with JJK? Isn't that "realistic" enough?
Bro you know damn well that ain't happening anytime soon. His only suicide attempt shikigami is gone he might aswell have no cursed technique at that point.
Megumi was about to save 2 grade 1 sorceres from Dagon on his own. 2 grown ass grade 1s needed him to show up and make a hole on Dagon's domain and the only reason they didnt leave is because his daddy decided to show up at the same time. I see three main problems with him: 1. He is too much of a sad boy and you dont want to give Maho to a guy like that 2. He gets the Jogo treatment of being clowned by some strong ass enemies (like how having to fight Toji completely dampend his early contributions vs Dagon) 3. Him becoming Sukuna means he did not go through the final training arc He is not as bad as the memes will make you believe
how can he be saved though, gege is notorious for picking the absolute worst fate for all his characters, geto got his ass beat by toji and saw one girl die and was lost, megumi literally flattened shibuya by summoning mahoraga, then got his body taken over and killed his sister, killed gojo and many many others. At first, when you see him on the ground having given up I was like wtf bro, but after thinking about it, idk how a person can get over such guilt and also his sister was the only person he cared about and he killed her. Also boy got hit with what, 4 infinite voids? Bro is gone
I think Gege made Megumi as a sort of warning “Even when given everything on a golden platter, don’t expect permanent success. Failure eventually comes for all”
Honestly, I feel like Megumi having wasted potential could be either something that is aimed to be fixed in the future as part of his character development, or it is a key part of his character. He’s made out to be someone with “as much potential as Gojo” multiple times, yet it is put to waste so much, and his potential is only shown through Sukuna. So, Yuji and Megumi’s dynamic could be something like Gojo and Geto, just that their end is opposite. It could be that Yuji, no matter what, would stay good until the end, unlike Geto, who gave in into his dark thoughts, while Megumi, unlike Gojo, gave up, and because of that, either became evil and had an awakening that way, or simply gave up and chose to use himself as a sacrifice, like the final tool in order for everyone else to achieve victory.
@@DillianDukes and buddy is upset at a meme, you guessed wrong too and yet you never managed look at your age and ask how you find time to make irrelevant comments like this, tied to your incapability to understand what the 3 people who liked my comment understood.

Megumi had everything going for him and had it pulled out from under him Edit: Also wanting yuji to hit megumi with the "I'm You" moment, but seeing how the mangas going i doubt we will see it
But the thing is Yuji won't hit Megumi with the "I'm You" moment, because that moment was designed to show how Yuji had accepted his place as a cog in Jujutsu society and nothing more. If anything, he should hit him with a speech like the one Todo gave him in Shibuya.
I saw a post somewhere else that basically said: This is how megumi's character is. He is very nihilistic, and therefore one strike at his weakspot (that is, Tsumiki, who is basically his mental lifeline) is all it takes to break him. Only sukuna, the king of curses, is cruel enough to do this to a somewhat depressed, albeit physically attractive 15 year old. He is recently changed from his encounter and friendship with Itadori Yuji, but alas, he just didn't get strong enough on time. This is how Gege write a melancholic(?) deuteragonist, Fushiguro Megumi. It's all... designed to be like this. Give it time, at this point it's just a matter of when megumi will be free from Sukuna, not if.
Toji????? Like what are you talking about? His dad came in and made a fish filet out of Dagon. Megumi just opened the domain so Daddy can come in and save him
Yuji has a mental breakdown after multiple civilians died and that was understandable. If Megumi gets fried by 5 unlimited void domain expansions, has his father, his mentor, his sister + his entire clan killed people tell him to "look in". Like wtf??
@neos.4587 People weren't being actively killed for Yuji's sake when he had his meltdown. If Nanami or Todo had died trying to get Yuji to snap out of his funk, I would bet that there are people who will continue to blame Yuji for not locking in quick enough. The fact is that Megumi refusing any help is actively killing the people trying to stop Sukuna. This isn't Megumi passed out or in a coma because of Gojo's DE, this was a conscious Megumi telling Yuji, who went through hell just to reach him, that he doesn't want to be saved.
This is a unfairly written character by an author that didnt *believe* in his potential from the beginning. Like a lot more characters from jjk he just wasn't given enough screen time and he didn't have his big moment before supposedly dying when Sukuna took over his body completely.. How can an audience root for him when the author is not (he is a fan favorite in Japan so that usualy means a lot of hatred from the creator and a lot of love from the fans 😂😂)
I like megumi alot but myself hate on him for entertainment purposes and also for jokes But though i'm glad people pounted out the potential Megumi has knowing he's not just potential man
If ppl are seriously calling him a bum abd a bad character then thsts silly. I personally meme on megumi and call a bum just coz its funny, but he is obvs a tragic character and you should feel sympathy for him. My only issue is there should have been more interaction with megumi and tsumiki, and megumi and gojo coz we literally got nothing. Megumi supposedly cares for them both very much, but we dont actually get to see that for ourselves, so it makes descent seem a little hollow.
The fact is megumi might be the same age as yuji but not in terms of sorcery or experience and when you compare mentalities and resolves megumi doesn’t make sense
I can't understand the hate for Megumi. Jesus, what did he do to you?I understand the dislike for Mahito who loves to kill or for Sukuna, but people are angry at the kid who was emotionally destroyed plus his will was surrendered to Sukuna after the ritual bath. I have the impression that people who write that he should do something even after this, do not realize or do not want to realize that everyone goes through trauma differently, and what Megumi is doing now is actually the most...natural and human reaction. He won't get up after a minute of nervous breakdown and go into battle like Yuji or other heroes from other anime, Hefeel despair and helplessness after the loss that normal people feel. After something like that, I would want to kil myself too probably. You won't change certain emotions in a minute and it won't be ok.
I read only the first few words from your bible 2.0 so my agenda will be very limited. But what he did to me is kill Choso and every body else. Lil bro couldn't have simply locked in and had to cry to Wuji about his favorite suicide attempt dying because he's a BUM. Kendrick Lamar even made a verse about him in Like That...
@@janstefaniuk2977 Yeah Megumi kill Choso and other lol. Wtf. Sukuna just watched, right? Do you think the victims an destroying whole Shibuya were also Yuji's fault?
@@Emilia-em5cz Yeah Megumi killed Choso and the others because he didn't LOCK THE HELL IN!! I swear bro Sukuna is just misunderstood. Also it wasn't Yuji's fault cause that would go against my agenda. In conclusion: Megumi is a bum.
Most people in here lose their pets and they feel their lives are in shambles... yet a 16 year old literally went through so much, and they're calling the little fellah a "potential man." Okay. Sure.
Womp womp. He's only sad cause daddyraga and the love of his life (his sister btw) died. If I was in his spot I would have simply said "Nah, I'd lock in." and took over Sukuna before puking his finger outta my stomach and saving the day. Hell, I wouldn't even be in that situation. I would have simply dodged Sukuna's grab and no-diffed him. Bumgumi is a useless fraud.
Calling him potential man has nothing to do with this? They call him potential man because he was hyped up to possibly rival gojo and has the jjk starter kit yet he doesnt show much for it. Not because he's sad
Exactly. As the other dude said, maintaining the agenda is our top priority. Megumi is a bum and all the Bumgumi fans will have to cope with their favorite character being a useless fraud
I mean, 15 years old. Idk about yall but i relate to him, not to say that i dont want to live or stuff like that, but i relate to that fact that some of us have an insane potential or something that was inherited, but we dont have the mentality to draw it out yet, thats why is sympathize with his frustration and worry of not being as strong as his friends
Megumi is one of the smartest when it comes to fight IQ but 10S WITHOUT Big Raga is too strong for him to throw away his life 5 times first season. Please remember, he was training with Gojo as soon as he awakened his inherited CT.
Uhm, as a Megumi fan... i couldn't agree more with this video- i dont know how to explain but yeah, i agree with basicly everything you said! (ik from a Megumi fan isnt much but, whatever- lmao) (Amazing video btw, i liked it! almost screamed one time or another? yeah, but thats the fun part of watching a video like this- isnt it?- idk- im an akward person to write comments, lol)
megumi is the most boring character in jjk like what has he even done till the very end 😭😭 i was defending this dude when he was getting called a bum but now the manga ended and i look back, he done nothing like this is the worst deuteragonist ever. aint no way this is someone's favorite character. 99% of them has to be his fangirls
If it wasn't for him itadori would be dead if it wasn't for him who would kill the special grade which megumi added a domain on? Nobara wasn't that strong at that time was she no.if it wasn't for him who would have guessed a character's technique and help defeat him with his friends?
Loved Megumi, enjoyed his moral dispute with Itadori, yet being great friends. Gege did him absolutely dirty. He really didnt deserve it. Also gets too much hate just because he got shafted. Atleast he doesnt make the manga actively worse like Yuta or Maki (her arcs were the worst in the entire series)
I got a feeling that Sukuna’s ten shadows were destroyed, but not Megumi’s. Sure, he’ll not have Mahoga, but he will have the ability to use all 10 eventually. (besides white dog.)
Looks like while in the end Megumi is successfully saved in the end, he’s already completely dead to almost the entire internet, and people still hate him, even if they don’t blame him.
I would say "In the past, Mahoraga defeated a 6-eyes user." Is more accurate. Ain't no way in hell the past 10-shadows user did much to the past 6-eyes user. The 10-shadows is basically useless unless you're Sukuna.
Indeed but also the 6 eye user from the past was just so much weaker than Gojo. Im pretty a fusion beast like Agito (wich is more achievable than taming raga) could actually do something against that other six eye user. You can also use the shikigami powers without summoning them. So i wouldn't say it's completely useless.
The 10S is the best technique it only depends on the skill/iq/strength of the sorcerer wielding it. Even Megumi brought out some of it and the strongest and smartest sorcerer didn't even bring out everything that the 10S has to offer. A 10S user in the past could've beaten a six eyes user if they had a domain other than that Mahoraga pretty much carried hard.
Ten shadows is OP even without Mahoraga,not enough to kill a skilled six eyes user but still really OP,you have a flying electric bird that you can use for mobility in fights,a frog with a tounge you can use for mobility and trapping,a deer that gives limitless RCT,a bull that can potentially one shot anyone if used from far away,an elephant that can crush bones by making it step on people or be used like piercing blood,limitless rabbits,OP dog (only the totality version),and we didnt see much of the serpent but it seemed really good, unfortunately Sukuna broke it And the shadows can be used for mobility + Storage Oh and a completed Chimera Shadow Garden is BROKEN,infinite shadows for infinite mobility,and theoretically you can summon 10 of the same shikigami at once which likely means they wont die even if one is killed,so you can literally get 10 Mahoragas and even if you cant use Mahoraga you can use NINETY SHIKIGAMI AT ONE TIME
I feel like when people hear that quote they just think "Oh its Gojo vs Megumi but like 400 years ago". No that is NOT what that means. No six-eyes plus infinity user is the exact same. Gojo is the strongest because he is experienced, creative, has skills to go along with his op powers. The other users may have lacked physical ability or creativity etc to properly excell as sorcerers. Similarly the previous 10S user could have been an experienced and capable sorcerer who managed to tame 9 out of 10 shadows and used fusion to amp them up greatly. Furthermore remember that technique does not equal cursed energy output, that is different. So the six eyes user may have had less cursed energy than Gojo and the previous 10S user probably had far more cursed energy. The potential is there because it is based on a wide variety of factors not just techniques.
You’re right Yuji is EXACTLY like Gojo in every way except mentally. In Gojo’s past he was reduced to a vessel for strength by his best friend Geto when he was asked if he was Gojo Satarou because he was the strongest, and in Yuji’s battle he is LITERALLY a vessel for everyones strength.
Huge text warning lmao So, Im a Megumi and JJK fan, but y'all have to know that jujutsu is filled with flaws and gege DOES NOT know how to write deep backgrounds, and I shouldnt expect more of a shounen. Obviously jjk "breaks" the "Hero journey" rule/base that 99% of shounens use, but we have to admit that both women and men in jjk are mostly poorly written and "forgotten", in my honest opinion as a Moster, Oyasumi Pun Pun, Evangelion and Happiness, JJK is cooked, it has passed too much time to fix it all, Gege should have explored more of the mental health and mentality of his characters. The biggest quality of jjk is that is rushed and "breaks" a pattern, but the biggest flaw is the same thing, sometimes where it should be slower, is rushed. I will not stop liking the series however, every manga has its flaws, like Kimetsu, but it stills a wholesome anime and pretty fun to watch, obviously I wont say is the peak of anime, but if u ignore the poorly written characters (by adding lore onto it yourself) its a fantastic anime, with drama and climax well put together
Haven't watched the video yet and honestly I don't really like megumi as a character and I think the potential man meme is hilarious but we gotta be fr, he's defeated special grade curses multiple grade 1 sorcerers and has an imperfect domain as a first year, that is INSANE in the jujutsu world a domain at his age is almost unheard of hell even powerhouses like kashimo don't even have a domain he's seriously super powerful but he's still only 15 if he had maybe 5 more years to mature he could become the pinnacle of grade 1 alas jjk ain't the kind of story to nurture characters like that so we'll most likely never see his full potential
Gege is setting up MeGOATmi for the biggest return since Sukuna took him. Limitless multiple hits should have made Megumi into pudding. He actually spoke. Rct and brains rewiring Fighting all the powerhouses in the game and seeing all their tricks Binding vows usage Watching the master of jj utilize your skillset and actually internalizing it(elephant water) Etc. You get the picture. As the holder of 99.2% of Megumi stocks bonds and bitcoin I'm telling you now...Gege is cooking a masterpiece. He won't tolerate Gojo dying again...
@@xiaostrr everything I said Gege has shown us in the story so far. We still have the merger after this culling arc. Can't wait to see Gege cook this delicious meal he's serving us.
By saying that Megumi should just "get up and lock in" people are invalidating everything that Sukuna has done to assure that it wouldn't happen. You all are underestimating the villain, like always.
Sukuna said that Megumi had the potential to become a cage for him exactly like Yuji, so he had to wait until his soul broke to take over him. So Megumi got possessed by 16 fingers Sukuna (we now know it was 16 fingers and not 15) all at once after his soul was already in shambles. Not even Yuji could keep control after eating 10 fingers in one sitting. Even after this Megumi was able to fight back and lower Sukuna's CE, which is the reason why Yuji and Maki didn't get killed and which surprised Sukuna.
So then his soul had to be suppressed a second time with the bath, drowing it in negative emotions and basically pure evilness. That was also not enough to be sure he wouldn't fight back and so Sukuna killed his sister. It was a chain of events. Sukuna literally cursed with the whole "he will lose all will to live".
Then after that Megumi's soul stayed in the abyss for more than a month. By comparison even in Shibuya Yuji stayed possessed for like an hour and he was totally broken and later had to get a speech from Todo. Imagine more than a month. Then Megumi's soul took 5 UVs which, even tho are only dangerous when hitting the brain, must have not been pleasant. Then he killed Gojo, who Megumi cared about, and then hurt his friends. What happened in 251 was realistic: he isn't sitting back expecting to be saved without doing anything, he is telling Yuji to forget about saving him and finish the job. Continuing to fight to save him is YUJI'S choice and it's important for his character. Megumi's moment will come, but he needs support and probably a motivational speech like Yuji got from Todo. Having a bit of compassion and patience will pay off in the end for the fans that can understand the situation and aren't driven by agendas
"he is telling yuji to forget about saving him and finish the job" bruh my eyes watered a little bc aint that right
@@humanhuman6536 People act as if Megumi is just there waiting to be saved when it's not the case. He is basically taking back the whole "start by saving me", reassuring Yuji that it's ok to kill him and that he wants to die. Berating Megumi for that also diminishes Yuji's choice to keep wanting to save him, which could become even more important in case Yuta and the others have actually given up on Megumi. Yuji is actively doing it and it's crucial for his character, especially after he literally failed to save everyone he tried to and had so many people die in front of him (grandpa, Junpei, Nanami, Nobara, Gojo, Higuruma and now Choso), plus obviously seeing Megumi get possessed.

@@rodriguezjavier6726 Ok honestly that's a good point
Everyone who hypes up Megumi is always saying “if” and “when”, but never “is” or “does”. Megubum Fraudshiguro is JJK’s Potential Man
sukuna after meeting megumi: "I likes ya, and I wants ya"
Sukuna is the type of guy to say: "Who gon stop me?"
Sukuna: "now we can do this the easy way or the hard way, the choice is yours"
Megumi: "with this treasure I-"
Sukuna: "I see you wanna do this the hard way"
Sukuna is a gold digger, married him so he can immediately divorce him and take his wealth. But still lets him stay in the house because he never went to school to learn any skills and she needs him navigating the social circles of the elites.

@@mikelonduckguey "I'M A WARRIOR MEGUMI"
People seem to forget Yuji has had Sukuna take over him for a total of maybe an hour? The fights with Jogo and Mahoraga probably lasted 15 minutes and that still almost broke Yuji if not for Todo being there. Megumi has been taken over for months now without anyone to pull him out + he had the supressing ritual done + he got hit with the strain of multiple Infinite Voids. It shouldn't be a surprise that he broke.
even more, he supress megumi soul with this "bath" (idk how its called)
@@tfa8436 It's a bath full of cursed spirits i don't know the actual name but it's basically the abyss he was bathed in.
@@lemonboychrisI bet Geto would break even faster in something full of those
The difference being that Yuji is the goat and Bumgumi is a frrrraaaauuddd
The difference being Yuji has to be weakened, him choosing to give the body or needing a binding vow to take control, megumi got FOLDED, if it was Yuji bro would have already taken control way before the bath
One of the worst things to happen to Animanga discourse, espeically with JJK is fans are unable to view stories and characters like they aren’t celebrities to worship or athletes to idolize. Nobody understands character at all in battle shonen these days outside of power ups and winning fights. The whole point of Megumi is he’s a guy who largely wasn’t really given a choice on being a sorceror, and his real motivator was someone who was largely inactive, and the minute he’s allowed to at respite it’s stolen from him, so the motivator is gone, and then he has his agency stolen from him in a literal sense. He then kills his mentor with his own body. These aren’t “ fumbles” these are explicitly used of his character. The whole point of the Shinjuku Showdown is it’s a Megumi Retrieval Arc. Fans act like there’s only 1 way to execute story and any other way is bad, but no one can actually describe what it is. Discourse in Animanga has devolved into basically a whining cinema sins type of thing, not an ounce of nuance or contextual analysis. I’m here to see if this video goes somewhere different.
Very true. People have a very warped perception of anime and manga and come to ridiculous conclusions and perceptions as a result. JJK, Chainsaw Man, MHA and One Piece first come to mind. Gojo and Makima idolization, MANY sins of MHA fandom and One Piece stocks market, agendas and power scaling community are one of the biggest detriments to reputations and growth of those titles.
your comment would be valid if the same ppl were disagreeing with story elements. they’re not. they’re only making fun of the characters, BECAUSE of the plot that was written for them. Megumi is in fact NOT built to be in this battle. that is a fact story wise like you explained. ppl are just making fun of the fact that he isn’t. nobody is saying it’s bad writing outside of megumi fans who feel he should have been “done better.” in short, everyone whose meme-ing on megumi 100% agrees with his nuance story analysis.
Im one of those people who tend to shit on Megumi, but not because of bad writing. I just hate the fact that while everyone else out here is tryna make themselves be useful he's the only one doing the opposite, and he's allowing that to happen to himself. Lets not act like he's never had a crash out moment before when he was backed into a corner.
@@adnwzhreyou would say Itadori wasn't built for this battle back in Shibuya when he gave up in his fight against mahito. But Todo arrived to help. Megumi didn't have anyone because he was trapped in his own body that was being used by the strongest sorcerer in history. He was left alone for basically a month, with his own body that killed his motivator, his teacher, and injured his friends.
But people just like to forget this and bring the argument that Itadori killed thousands of innocent people and thugged it out "by himself"
@@xinf3ctdx After the motivational speech of Todo, right? If Todo wasn't there in Shibuya, Yuji would have let Mahito kill him. And dude, just because someone has been involved in the jujutsu world for years, that doesn't make them immune to the horrors they have to face. Just look at a retired soldier with PTSD, mf's been in war for years but still get traumatized, even if they only saw a single friend of them die. It's almost the same thing, just look at how Geto handled the trauma of seeing a single random girl die: becoming a terrorist that hates non-sorcerers. What I'm trying to say is that everyone has their limits and just trying to criticize Megumi's own limits while also ignoring the fact that Yuji almost did the same thing is stupid
i feel like the people who *really* hate megumi are the same ones who hate shinji for not handling well the fact that he was literally tasked to save the word💀
It's like, have some common sense, he's a 16 year old who went through unspeakable tragedies. And it's not like they'd last nearly as long as Megumi did in this world.
Shinji deserved so much better. It always pissed me off how the show himself always criticized Shinji more than Asuka when Shinji actually tried to change when character like Asuka and Gendo were way worse humans

So if your mom and dad left you… and your siblings were killed by your own hands against your will… and your mind was shoved into this abyss of mental pain and agony (so not even your willpower can do anything, because that’s what is getting infected by thoughts that aren’t even your own but now are your own)… getting hit with 5 unlimited voids that are literally burning out your brain like a lit cigarette (and I am not being hyperbolic. Saying you can shrug it off is like saying you can shrug off having pieces of your brain surgically removed. It’s dumb af )… killing your best friends (whoever they may be. I don’t even know if you have friends, siblings, or parents so you may not actually care)…
I dont know why people ignore all megumi has done up until he got body snatched witch was supposed to be a tragic moment even then megumi will likely come back either to help fight the merger or even activate it him self but im sure yuji will be able to give megumi a new reason to live even if it comes at the cost of his own life
i think the entire phenomenon of forgetting previous character development has something to do with the explosion of leak culture. i am absolutely not immune to it myself (i wait for tcb scans that come in earlier than viz), as the excitement about leaks happening are felt much more than the actual narrative weight of the story. and, though it’s a personal peeve of mine, when people see the leaks without a translation, they run with it as though the panel was fully translated with context; it’s like a rush of dopamine before you actually internalize the events.
this is especially the case when you read chapters weekly without referring the to previous ones. some of these takes i see online feel like these people read one new chapter per week and take that as the representative of the entire series. something about the overwhelming hype of leaks (sometimes out of context) and the lack of media literacy/reading comprehension make an awful combination that plagues readers
Megumi is a plant at this point , it's best to just kill him along with sukuna now rather than try to save him , they tried it once and yuta was chopped in half , and itadori has to accept the fact he cant save everyone , so he might as well give up and kill megumi so at least the people left he cares about live.
wait, if sukuna fused all the shikigamis and used mahoraga, and they both died, then how would he be able to use them if their all dead, considering sukuna tamed mahoraga too

The people who vigorously follow jjk only for the hype of leaks and action while ignoring the story are the community's biggest problem
@@TheOneAndOnlyTakati And they feel like the majority. Maybe because they're the loudest, I don't know
Megumi is still my personal favorite. I hate the fact that Sukuna has taken his body. I really wanted to see more of Megumi. He's not a punk, he can fight and win, and he's overall just cool. I'm more upset he's not fighting Sukuna. He would win. I kinda wish he was the Main Character.
When all Sukuna has done over the past couple dozen chapters is win against every single character lining up to fight him, everyone starts to feel like a Potential Man. Even if Nobara was revealed to have survived and might turn the tide for once, for example, she'll probably get shit-stomped just like everyone else.
Speaking of Megumi, there are alot of hates surrounding the deaths of multiple characters like Gojo, Yuki, Choso, Nobara, Nanami, Yaga, Tsumiki, Higuruma, Kashimo, Geto, with people justifying their death that the stakes are high and that it makes the series feel more "realistic". Well I agree with you to a certain degree so let's talk "realistically" shall we? Megumi got hit with 5 unlimited void, witnessed himself kill Tsumiki by his own hands (Sukuna's of course). Gojo died in front of him (the only othe person he cared about) and everyone is telling him that he is a bum for not locking in and fighting Sukuna after all he's been through? What's with the double standard and not understanding the "realistic" argument that you had with JJK? Isn't that "realistic" enough?
“We can only go up from here” yeah i can’t think of a way for Megumi to make his situation worse atp

Megumi was about to save 2 grade 1 sorceres from Dagon on his own. 2 grown ass grade 1s needed him to show up and make a hole on Dagon's domain and the only reason they didnt leave is because his daddy decided to show up at the same time. I see three main problems with him:
1. He is too much of a sad boy and you dont want to give Maho to a guy like that
2. He gets the Jogo treatment of being clowned by some strong ass enemies (like how having to fight Toji completely dampend his early contributions vs Dagon)
3. Him becoming Sukuna means he did not go through the final training arc
He is not as bad as the memes will make you believe

At first, when you see him on the ground having given up I was like wtf bro, but after thinking about it, idk how a person can get over such guilt and also his sister was the only person he cared about and he killed her. Also boy got hit with what, 4 infinite voids? Bro is gone
Megumi is still one of my favorite characters in JJK, and that is never changing 😊
Real
Fr
I think Gege made Megumi as a sort of warning
“Even when given everything on a golden platter, don’t expect permanent success. Failure eventually comes for all”
Honestly, I feel like Megumi having wasted potential could be either something that is aimed to be fixed in the future as part of his character development, or it is a key part of his character. He’s made out to be someone with “as much potential as Gojo” multiple times, yet it is put to waste so much, and his potential is only shown through Sukuna. So, Yuji and Megumi’s dynamic could be something like Gojo and Geto, just that their end is opposite. It could be that Yuji, no matter what, would stay good until the end, unlike Geto, who gave in into his dark thoughts, while Megumi, unlike Gojo, gave up, and because of that, either became evil and had an awakening that way, or simply gave up and chose to use himself as a sacrifice, like the final tool in order for everyone else to achieve victory.

Megumi had everything going for him and had it pulled out from under him
Edit: Also wanting yuji to hit megumi with the "I'm You" moment, but seeing how the mangas going i doubt we will see it
But the thing is Yuji won't hit Megumi with the "I'm You" moment, because that moment was designed to show how Yuji had accepted his place as a cog in Jujutsu society and nothing more.
If anything, he should hit him with a speech like the one Todo gave him in Shibuya.
I saw a post somewhere else that basically said: This is how megumi's character is. He is very nihilistic, and therefore one strike at his weakspot (that is, Tsumiki, who is basically his mental lifeline) is all it takes to break him. Only sukuna, the king of curses, is cruel enough to do this to a somewhat depressed, albeit physically attractive 15 year old. He is recently changed from his encounter and friendship with Itadori Yuji, but alas, he just didn't get strong enough on time. This is how Gege write a melancholic(?) deuteragonist, Fushiguro Megumi. It's all... designed to be like this. Give it time, at this point it's just a matter of when megumi will be free from Sukuna, not if.
He’s still one of my favorite jjk characters

Yuji has a mental breakdown after multiple civilians died and that was understandable. If Megumi gets fried by 5 unlimited void domain expansions, has his father, his mentor, his sister + his entire clan killed people tell him to "look in". Like wtf??
@neos.4587 People weren't being actively killed for Yuji's sake when he had his meltdown. If Nanami or Todo had died trying to get Yuji to snap out of his funk, I would bet that there are people who will continue to blame Yuji for not locking in quick enough. The fact is that Megumi refusing any help is actively killing the people trying to stop Sukuna. This isn't Megumi passed out or in a coma because of Gojo's DE, this was a conscious Megumi telling Yuji, who went through hell just to reach him, that he doesn't want to be saved.
@@neos.4587 RSSSSS itadori was scared to kill somebody and they calling megumi a bum.. like if you don't silence urself omg
This is a unfairly written character by an author that didnt *believe* in his potential from the beginning. Like a lot more characters from jjk he just wasn't given enough screen time and he didn't have his big moment before supposedly dying when Sukuna took over his body completely..
How can an audience root for him when the author is not (he is a fan favorite in Japan so that usualy means a lot of hatred from the creator and a lot of love from the fans 😂😂)
I like megumi alot but myself hate on him for entertainment purposes and also for jokes
But though i'm glad people pounted out the potential Megumi has knowing he's not just potential man
Blame Sukuna (or Gege), not Megumi. If Yuji had the time to give his speech from 266 in 252, he would get up
Megumi is the kind of guy to go through a tutorial on a video game but still somehow ends up fumbling at easy stage of it.
If ppl are seriously calling him a bum abd a bad character then thsts silly. I personally meme on megumi and call a bum just coz its funny, but he is obvs a tragic character and you should feel sympathy for him. My only issue is there should have been more interaction with megumi and tsumiki, and megumi and gojo coz we literally got nothing. Megumi supposedly cares for them both very much, but we dont actually get to see that for ourselves, so it makes descent seem a little hollow.
Whenever I bring him up my sister starts calling him a bum :(

I can't understand the hate for Megumi. Jesus, what did he do to you?I understand the dislike for Mahito who loves to kill or for Sukuna, but people are angry at the kid who was emotionally destroyed plus his will was surrendered to Sukuna after the ritual bath. I have the impression that people who write that he should do something even after this, do not realize or do not want to realize that everyone goes through trauma differently, and what Megumi is doing now is actually the most...natural and human reaction. He won't get up after a minute of nervous breakdown and go into battle like Yuji or other heroes from other anime, Hefeel despair and helplessness after the loss that normal people feel. After something like that, I would want to kil myself too probably. You won't change certain emotions in a minute and it won't be ok.
I read only the first few words from your bible 2.0 so my agenda will be very limited. But what he did to me is kill Choso and every body else.

i was defending this dude when he was getting called a bum but now the manga ended and i look back, he done nothing like this is the worst deuteragonist ever. aint no way this is someone's favorite character. 99% of them has to be his fangirls
If it wasn't for him itadori would be dead if it wasn't for him who would kill the special grade which megumi added a domain on? Nobara wasn't that strong at that time was she no.if it wasn't for him who would have guessed a character's technique and help defeat him with his friends?
Loved Megumi, enjoyed his moral dispute with Itadori, yet being great friends. Gege did him absolutely dirty. He really didnt deserve it. Also gets too much hate just because he got shafted. Atleast he doesnt make the manga actively worse like Yuta or Maki (her arcs were the worst in the entire series)
Megumi is a victim of agendas and not wanting to truly read the story properly I think
For me im not upset he couldnt tame mahoraga, im just confused why he never made more totalities, like imagine if he had his own version of agito
he did explain things well but one problem remains "if" and "when" but never "is"
I got a feeling that Sukuna’s ten shadows were destroyed, but not Megumi’s. Sure, he’ll not have Mahoga, but he will have the ability to use all 10 eventually. (besides white dog.)

I would say "In the past, Mahoraga defeated a 6-eyes user." Is more accurate.
Ain't no way in hell the past 10-shadows user did much to the past 6-eyes user. The 10-shadows is basically useless unless you're Sukuna.
Indeed but also the 6 eye user from the past was just so much weaker than Gojo. Im pretty a fusion beast like Agito (wich is more achievable than taming raga) could actually do something against that other six eye user. You can also use the shikigami powers without summoning them. So i wouldn't say it's completely useless.
The 10S is the best technique it only depends on the skill/iq/strength of the sorcerer wielding it. Even Megumi brought out some of it and the strongest and smartest sorcerer didn't even bring out everything that the 10S has to offer. A 10S user in the past could've beaten a six eyes user if they had a domain other than that Mahoraga pretty much carried hard.
Ten shadows is OP even without Mahoraga,not enough to kill a skilled six eyes user but still really OP,you have a flying electric bird that you can use for mobility in fights,a frog with a tounge you can use for mobility and trapping,a deer that gives limitless RCT,a bull that can potentially one shot anyone if used from far away,an elephant that can crush bones by making it step on people or be used like piercing blood,limitless rabbits,OP dog (only the totality version),and we didnt see much of the serpent but it seemed really good, unfortunately Sukuna broke it
And the shadows can be used for mobility + Storage
Oh and a completed Chimera Shadow Garden is BROKEN,infinite shadows for infinite mobility,and theoretically you can summon 10 of the same shikigami at once which likely means they wont die even if one is killed,so you can literally get 10 Mahoragas and even if you cant use Mahoraga you can use NINETY SHIKIGAMI AT ONE TIME
Saying the TS is useless Is a insane and downright nonsensical take
I feel like when people hear that quote they just think "Oh its Gojo vs Megumi but like 400 years ago". No that is NOT what that means.
No six-eyes plus infinity user is the exact same. Gojo is the strongest because he is experienced, creative, has skills to go along with his op powers. The other users may have lacked physical ability or creativity etc to properly excell as sorcerers.
Similarly the previous 10S user could have been an experienced and capable sorcerer who managed to tame 9 out of 10 shadows and used fusion to amp them up greatly. Furthermore remember that technique does not equal cursed energy output, that is different. So the six eyes user may have had less cursed energy than Gojo and the previous 10S user probably had far more cursed energy. The potential is there because it is based on a wide variety of factors not just techniques.
well... his fight with Reggie was a funny one
WITH THIS TREASURE I SUMMON MAHORAGA
You’re right Yuji is EXACTLY like Gojo in every way except mentally. In Gojo’s past he was reduced to a vessel for strength by his best friend Geto when he was asked if he was Gojo Satarou because he was the strongest, and in Yuji’s battle he is LITERALLY a vessel for everyones strength.
That background music earned you a sub and a like, nice breakdown too.
Huge text warning lmao
So, Im a Megumi and JJK fan, but y'all have to know that jujutsu is filled with flaws and gege DOES NOT know how to write deep backgrounds, and I shouldnt expect more of a shounen. Obviously jjk "breaks" the "Hero journey" rule/base that 99% of shounens use, but we have to admit that both women and men in jjk are mostly poorly written and "forgotten", in my honest opinion as a Moster, Oyasumi Pun Pun, Evangelion and Happiness, JJK is cooked, it has passed too much time to fix it all, Gege should have explored more of the mental health and mentality of his characters.
The biggest quality of jjk is that is rushed and "breaks" a pattern, but the biggest flaw is the same thing, sometimes where it should be slower, is rushed. I will not stop liking the series however, every manga has its flaws, like Kimetsu, but it stills a wholesome anime and pretty fun to watch, obviously I wont say is the peak of anime, but if u ignore the poorly written characters (by adding lore onto it yourself) its a fantastic anime, with drama and climax well put together
Tbh the only good thing I heard of jjk is that it breaks shonen tropes.
it’s ok bumgumi, i still love u 🫶🏾
What’s the music at 1:00

Haven't watched the video yet and honestly I don't really like megumi as a character and I think the potential man meme is hilarious but we gotta be fr, he's defeated special grade curses multiple grade 1 sorcerers and has an imperfect domain as a first year, that is INSANE in the jujutsu world a domain at his age is almost unheard of hell even powerhouses like kashimo don't even have a domain he's seriously super powerful but he's still only 15 if he had maybe 5 more years to mature he could become the pinnacle of grade 1 alas jjk ain't the kind of story to nurture characters like that so we'll most likely never see his full potential
Gege is setting up MeGOATmi for the biggest return since Sukuna took him.
Limitless multiple hits should have made Megumi into pudding. He actually spoke.
Rct and brains rewiring
Fighting all the powerhouses in the game and seeing all their tricks
Binding vows usage
Watching the master of jj utilize your skillset and actually internalizing it(elephant water)
Etc.
You get the picture. As the holder of 99.2% of Megumi stocks bonds and bitcoin I'm telling you now...Gege is cooking a masterpiece.
He won't tolerate Gojo dying again...
i cant tell if this is another sarcastic megumi joke but 🗣️🔥🔥‼️‼️????
@@xiaostrr everything I said Gege has shown us in the story so far. We still have the merger after this culling arc. Can't wait to see Gege cook this delicious meal he's serving us.
