Megumi Fushiguro is undoubtedly one of the Jujutsu Kaisenmost controversial characters. Despite being the series' deuteragonist (as in its second most important character), he didn't have the opportunity to show off his immense power very often, and as a result, his popularity slowly began to wane among fans.
Jujutsu Kaisen: 5 Weakest Cursed Techniques In The Culling Game, Ranked
Although the Culling Game had some of the strongest characters in the series, there were some abysmal Cursed Techniques as well.
Nevertheless, Fushiguro is still a strong and skilled wizard who has effortlessly mastered many techniques and abilities, which becomes especially evident when looking at his performance in some of the series' earlier arcs. Needless to say, Fushiguro proved how overpowered he is indeed several times throughout the story of Jujutsu Kaisenbut the following seven moments are the most infamous in the entire series.
The Divine Dog's debut
Proved what skilled wizards are capable of
-
Chapter 1 (Manga) Episode 1 (Manga)
It's easy to forget that Megumi Fushiguro was technically the first wizard to ever use a cursed technique in Jujutsu Kaisen (does not count Jujutsu Kaisen 0Of course). When he came to Itadori's high school to save him and his classmates from all the cursed spirits attracted by Sukuna's finger, he quickly showed off his signature ability: Technique for ten shadows.
Fushiguro has summoned two dog-like shikigami Divine dogsand the trio began mowing down hordes of cursed spirits that tried to attack them. In just the first episode of the series, Fushiguro effectively proved how strong and versatile wizards could be and showed how much newcomers like Itadori would have to train to reach his level.
Divine Dog: Totality
The evolution of one of his previous nerfed techniques
-
Chapter 47 (Manga) Episode 19 (Manga)
At one point in the story, Fushiguro's white dog shikigami was suddenly killed by a powerful cursed spirit, making it impossible for him to summon it again. However, due to the way the Ten Shadows technique works, all of the power from the deceased white dog was absorbed by his black colored companion and helped it evolve into a more powerful version of itself called Divine Dog: Totality.
Fushiguro effectively used this brand new shikigami in his fight against Hanami (one of the most powerful cursed spirits in existence) and was able to visibly harm it with its furious speed, sharp claws, and immense physical strength. Needless to say, Fushiguro continued to use this new Divine Dog in many subsequent battles against other powerful opponents, cementing how potent it is.
Survivor Ryomen Sukuna
He was met by the main villain very early in the series
-
Chapter 9 (Manga) Episode 5 (Manga)
Megumi Fushiguro always had a very complicated relationship with the main antagonist of the series, Ryomen Sukunaas the so-called King of Curses set his sights on him very early in the story. As a result, after Sukuna took control of Itadori's body during a mission, he did not hesitate to confront Fushiguro to test his abilities.
6 Jujutsu Kaisen characters who have already died in JJK Modulo
JJK Modulo has already racked up victims. Many characters from the original Jujutsu Kaisen story have already died.
Fushiguro was always quite strong, but he was nowhere near Sukuna's level at that point, and yet he was forced to face him after fighting some cursed spirits. Despite these unfortunate circumstances, he actually did surprisingly well, using his shikigami to put some distance between him and the King of Curses and quickly dodging his destructive attacks in the process. While Fushiguro was unable to save Itadori's life during this battle, the fact that he was able to go all-out against Sukuna and live to tell the tale is incredibly impressive.
Becomes Sukuna's new ship
His immense power indirectly destroyed his life
Unfortunately, Megumi Fushiguro wasn't involved much in the final story Jujutsu Kaisen because his body was possessed by Ryomen Sukuna, and he basically became his second Ship. But this is actually quite an impressive feat and is undeniable proof of how strong Fushiguro always was.
Sukuna spent his entire life (literally hundreds of years) working to create the perfect vessel for his reincarnation, leading to the birth of Yuji Itadori, and yet, the moment he laid eyes on Fushiguro, he immediately realized that he would be much more powerful if he used his body and techniques instead. Sukuna needed his shikigami to confront the great Satoru Gojo and was able to bring their full potential, but he would never have been able to do so if Fushiguro wasn't already powerful from the start.
Chimera Shadow Garden
His domain expansion was incredibly powerful, despite being incomplete
-
Chapter 58 (Manga) Episode 23 (Manga)
Domain Expansions are the ultimate technology of a cursed wizard, the indisputable proof that they have reached the pinnacle of their power. Megumi Fushiguro was able to conjure up her own domain expansion Chimera Shadow Gardenbut it had a caveat: it was incomplete. Nevertheless, it was still incredibly useful, and he used it effectively against many powerful enemies.
Chimera Shadow Garden floods an area with a sea of dark shadows that allows the user to summon multiple shikigami at once, essentially overwhelming them with an army of strong beasts (and even clones of himself). Fushiguro used his incomplete domain expansion to defeat a finger bearer and Reggie Star and even to infiltrate Dagon's own domain expansion. If he could complete it, the Chimera Shadow Garden would definitely have become one of the strongest techniques in the entire series.
Defeat Reggie Star
He fought one-on-one against one of the most powerful wizards in the culling game
Like many others Jujutsu Kaisen characters, Megumi Fushiguro unfortunately lost some relevance towards the final stretches of the manga, especially after he became obsessed with Sukuna. But he played an excellent solo fight before that, during the Culling Game Arc, when he confronted the only one Reggie Stara reincarnated wizard from the past.
Jujutsu Kaisen: 5 strongest physical fighters in the series, ranked
In a series filled with broken and insane techniques, these stand out as the strongest physical fighters in Jujutsu Kaisen.
This battle perfectly conveys how much stronger, faster, smarter and more skilled Fushiguro had become over the course of the series, as he used his shikigami and Domain Expansion in clever ways that allowed him to overpower and outwit his opponent. This has to be his most entertaining and exciting solo fight in the entire series, and it's a real shame that he didn't really get to fight someone else by himself until the end of the story.
Call Mahoraga for the first time
The Shibuya incident forced him to reveal his ultimate Shikigami
-
Chapter 117 (Manga) Episode 41 (Manga)
Everyone knows to Sword of Eight Handles Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga is the most powerful shikigami in Fushiguro's arsenal and proof of how overpowered his Ten Shadows Technique truly is. After confronting several strong opponents during the Shibuya Incident Arc, Fushiguro was so severely injured that he was forced to summon Mahoraga, explicitly claiming that it is an uncontrollable shikigami and that someone else would have to exorcise it.
Not only is Mahoraga extremely strong, durable, and agile, but it also has a special ability that allows it to adapt to any phenomenon, basically making it nearly unbeatable. Ryomen Sukuna was able to confront and exorcise the Mahoraga in an amazing (but terrifying) battle that destroyed most of the Shibuya Ward, not to mention that this shikigami's existence is the main reason why the King of Curses chose Fushiguro as his next ship, and he ended up summoning it to confront their clima Gojo during the battle S.
