This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.
Jujutsu Kaisen just released its tenth episode, and once again it proved why the anime is on a different level than most. The pacing was excellent, and the quality of the animation was excellent. In this particular episode, the focus was on Megumi Fushiguro. While he and Itadori were separated after entering the barrier, their priority remained the same – meet Higuruma and add a new rule.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 finale is quietly becoming the episode of the year
The Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 finale will feature a major anime battle in Sendai Colony that could make it the episode of the year.
Fortunately, Itadori reached Higuruma and managed to convince him to add another rule. But Megumi wasn't so lucky, as he was taken to Reggie by a girl named Remi. When he met Reggie, it was clear that Megumi was in trouble. But amidst all the drama, there was a moment in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 10 that made all Naruto fans feel nostalgic.

As the episode progressed, Reggie and his group of henchmen continued to torment Megumi. At first, Reggie wanted to recruit Megumi because he believed that Kenjaku was planning to do something big once all the weaklings had been wiped out from the Culling Game. Apparently, Megumi was not interested in cooperating with Reggie, as his priority was to save Tsukimi. As negotiations broke down, Reggie's henchmen began attacking him.
Megumi didn't want to kill them, but he had no choice. Despite beating one of Reggie's henchmen, Megumi was still at a disadvantage. It looked dark for him, but that's when Fumihiko Takaba arrived. Fans might recognize him from his appearance in JJK Season 3 Episode 3, where he was revealed as a failed comedian.

Takaba used One Thousand Years of Death
Takaba's entrance was quite dramatic, as he took one of Iori Hazenoki's attacks to the face and pretended to be fine, but the blood pouring out of his head told a different story. While Takaba felt like a weakling, it soon became apparent that he was actually strong. He was able to overwhelm Iori Hazenoki quite easily. With his speed, Takaba managed to get behind Hazenoki and used what is called “Thousand Years of Death” in Naruto and followed it up with a powerful kick.

The move isn't as dangerous as it sounds, but it does make the target quite uncomfortable. The One Thousand Years of Death was used several times in Naruto of different characters, and it made the fans laugh every time.
While the Naruto anime ended a long time ago, it's always nice to see the new generation of anime shelve.
Megumi Fushiguro is still in danger
Reggie is an exceptionally powerful fighter
Despite being helped by Fumihiko Takaba, Megumi is still in danger as he has to beat Reggie. The latter has proven to be a formidable opponent who can think quickly on his feet. Reggie is calm and calculating, which makes him dangerous. Even a smart person like Megumi had trouble keeping up with Reggie. Towards the end of the episode, Megumi managed to lure Reggie into a gym and opened her domain.
Before the episode, Megumi had managed to open a complete domain, but it seems things are about to change. Reggie has already realized that Megumi is superior to him in terms of strength, so the fight will likely end in the next episode.
Takaba is likely to return in JJK Season 3 Episode 11
There is also a good chance that Takaba will appear in episode 11. After all, fans will want to know how the comedian fared against Iori Hazenoki. The latter's cursed technology allows him to turn any part of his body into explosives. Throughout the tenth episode, Hazenoki continued to use his eye and teeth to attack Megumi. After using them, he healed himself with the Reverse Cursed Technique. Takaba's cursed techniques remain a mystery, but should be clarified in the upcoming episode. Once Takaba and Megumi deal with their respective opponents, it will be worth seeing if they will regroup or go their separate ways like Itadori and Higuruma.
