Lore & Background
Megumi operates under a pragmatic creed: he believes only those who are kind or useful deserve salvation. Yet, in practice, he repeatedly risks his life to protect innocents regardless of their merit. His Ten Shadows Technique is dynamic rather than static; it demands creativity, allowing him to evolve shikigami through combat or fuse them within his Domain Expansion to counter specialized threats.
In Their Own Story
Megumi’s path diverges from the norm early on; transferred to Tokyo Jujutsu High, he forms an uneasy alliance with Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki. His resolve is tested during the Cursed Womb arc when the revelation of Toji Fushiguro as his father forces him to confront a legacy of violence. The Shibuya Incident serves as a catastrophic turning point: overwhelmed by Jogo, Megumi summons Mahoraga in desperation, only for Sukuna to possess his body and decimate his allies. Now navigating the Culling Game, he seeks to master the full potential of Ten Shadows while grappling with the psychological scars of betrayal.
