This article contains spoilers for Shinjuku Showdown Jujutsu Kaisen.

Key foods

• Megumi has the potential to rival Goju with the Ten Shadow Inheritance Technique.
• If Megumi inherits Tsukune's shrine and fully masters her abilities, she can surpass Yuji's level.
• Megumi's power growth, potential shrine inheritance, and mastery of techniques could make her the strongest modern mage.

Kaizen jujutsu The ending saw Team Yuuji, Megumi, and Nobara all move on as wizards and take the mantle from their sensei, Gojo. It's safe to say that Yuji Itadori was instrumental in the victory in the end, and he certainly made a lot of changes to defeat the King of Curses, Tsukune. It can be said that Yuji reached the next level of power in this fight and after Gojo's death, he established himself as the strongest modern mage in the world. JJK.

That said, of course he also faces challenges from the likes of Yuta Okotsu and surprisingly, Megumi Fushi-guro. Looking at Megumi's growth as of late, it can be said that she could potentially become the strongest modern mage, potentially even stronger than Yuji Itadori.

Megumi's potential to rival Gojo Satoru

• Megumi has the Ten Shadow Inheritance Technique
• Megumi can match Gojo

Megumi Fushiguro already had the potential to compete with Gojo in this series. Being born into one of the three great families would certainly enable him to reach those levels. But, even among those born into the three great families, Megumi was quite special. Megumi was born with the 10 Shadow Cursed Inheritance Technique. This is a cursed technique that not all members of the female family can inherit, and those who are lucky enough to acquire it gain the potential to reach incredibly high levels.

Do you understand what I mean? – Gojo

Megumi's potential to equal Gojo

It can be said that Megumi has incredible talents. In fact, Gojo made it clear that long ago the two heads of the Gojo family and the female family, who both inherited skills similar to Gojo and Megumi themselves, namely the Limitless Six Eyes Technique and the Ten Shadow Technique. They fought each other in battle respectively and were matched. When these two fought each other long ago, the battle ended in a draw and both of them were killed at the same time.

The implication here is that if Megumi can use her skills properly, she can match Goju in terms of power. Not everyone has the level of talent that Megumi was born with. However, talent alone cannot take Megumi to the next level. He has to work hard and reach the same level as Gojo and Sokona. Megumi took this advice to heart and certainly worked very hard.

It can be said that during the Culling Arc, Megumi had greatly improved in terms of strength. His control over the 10 Shadows technique had greatly improved, and even his semi-expanding range seemed more menacing. But Megumi was far from the finished product, which meant there was a higher ceiling for her to reach and potentially even improve. The 10 Shadow Technique alone could make Megumi the most powerful modern mage, provided she could master it. But, Megumi could potentially reach an even higher level, all because Tsukune actually possessed her body for a significant amount of time.

A case for Megumi Fushiguro having a shrine

Megumi Fushiguro might be able to use Tsukune Temple

In the arc of the game Culling of Jujutsu KaisenMegumi Fushiguro was possessed by Sukuna. It was after Tsukune said the words “Enchain” followed by a bath that suppressed Megumi's spirit. While Tsukune would greatly benefit from the switch, the active use of Megumi's body meant that due to her muscle memory, Megumi would remember her moves while also becoming stronger. Tsukune's cursed energy was seeping into Megumi's body, and this case was quite similar to the case with Yuuji himself. As fans know, Yuuji was able to inherit the shrine from Tsukune because his energy permeated his body so strongly. Due to the multiple use of the Shrine on Yuuji's body, muscle memory found that he remembered the technique well and used it heavily in battle after truly awakening.

Winning by dying and winning even if you die are two completely different things! – Gojo

A similar case can be made for Megumi, though it has yet to be confirmed if she can actually use these powers. There is no reason for Megumi not to inherit the shrine if Yuuji can do it. Of course, it can be said that Yuuji was able to inherit this technique due to his blood relation with Tsukune, but this issue is not explicitly stated in the story, and considering that Megumi inherits this technique, there is a reason. He too could at least fight Tsukune.

If Megumi were to inherit the shrine as well, she would surely be the undisputed strongest in the world. JJKas long as he uses his full potential. This means Megumi has access to techniques like Malevolent Shrine and even techniques like World Splitting Dismantle. The fact that Tsukune uses all of these techniques in his body means that they should come more easily to him when he starts teaching them. This is one of the main advantages of having Sukona in his body.

At the same time, fans also know that Tsukune has also greatly enhanced him by using the 10 Shadows technique on his body. Megumi should be able to use Max Elephant techniques similar to Piercing Blood, just like Sukuna. He should be able to make the monstrous fusion called Agito while using Mahuraga properly, this time much better than before. Megumi has every reason to believe that she will be incredibly powerful once she fulfills her potential in JJK's future, and when that happens, she will truly become the most powerful modern witch.

Can Megumi be stronger than Yuuji?

Megumi will be 10 shades higher than Yuji with both shrines

As things stand, Yuuji is certainly stronger than Megumi and that fact cannot be denied. However, Megumi can reach a very high level if she fulfills her potential. All Megumi needs to do is master the 10 Shadow Technique, which involves controlling a stronger version of Mahuraga that Tsukune used in his battle with Gojo. In addition, Megumi must also master techniques such as Agito Fusion Monster creation and many others. Once he controlled all of this to perfection and met the requirements of a full domain expansion, Megumi should be able to compete with Yuuji in terms of power.

Additionally, Tsukune's moves are etched into her body meaning Megumi can fight better than ever. Furthermore, there is a possibility that he will inherit the shrine, and if that is indeed the case, then there is absolutely no denying the fact that he could indeed surpass even Yuuji and become the strongest modern mage and possibly the He comes closer. Gojo and Sokona's own levels.

Of course, fans don't know if they will be able to see this since there is no planned sequel for JJK. But, at the very least, it sure is fun to theorize about Megumi's potential.

The last chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, JJK 271, is finally released on September 29, 2024. Fans can read the series on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump.
