Megumi Fushiguro, who has mostly been a supporting character in the first two seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen, finally steps into the spotlight in Season 3. In the past, Megumi followed a strict rule: protect those who deserve it. But meeting Yuji changed his perspective. Yuji became his moral guide, shaping how he viewed his role as a protector. Now, Season 3 pushes Megumi into situations that force him to step out of Yuji’s shadow and make his own harsh decisions.
Will Megumi Fushiguro become the most important character in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3?
At the start of the Culling Game, Megumi and Yuji enter Tokyo No. 1 Colony together but are quickly separated. Megumi encounters Remi, whose betrayal leads to an ambush set up by Reggie Star and his group. This event forces Megumi to rethink trust. He realizes that in the chaotic world of the Culling Game, relying on anyone else can be deadly. From that point, he starts making decisions based solely on his own judgment, learning that survival may require ruthless choices.
Megumi begins treating the Culling Game as a battlefield where killing is necessary to grow stronger. He ruthlessly eliminates his opponents, showing a darker, more hardened side of himself. When he reunites with Yuji, he discovers that Yuji has set a rule to save Tsumiki. But when they encounter her, she uses Megumi to manipulate the game and later reveals her true identity as Yorozu. This revelation shatters him, as he realizes he cannot save his sister.
The darkness escalates further when Sukuna targets Megumi. The King of Curses desires Megumi because of his Ten Shadow technique, which would make Sukuna’s power nearly unstoppable. During the Culling Game, Sukuna seizes the opportunity and transfers his soul into Megumi’s body. Using Megumi’s abilities, Sukuna kills Yorozu, leaving Megumi devastated. This mirrors the trauma Yuji faced during the Shibuya incident, showing how Sukuna manipulates and breaks those around him.
Despite his determination, Megumi struggles to resist Sukuna’s control. His efforts ultimately fail, leaving him a powerless and broken soul forced to watch as his body is used to carry out Sukuna’s cruel plans. Season 3 marks a turning point for Megumi, showing the full depth of his darkness, resilience, and the harsh realities of the Culling Game.
