Jujutsu Kaisen: Does Tsumiki Die? Here Is What Happens to Her!

The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen introduced us to several new characters, and while the Gojo’s Past Arc focused primarily on Riko Amanai and Toji Fushiguro, we have already concluded that some other characters have been introduced in this arc as well, and one of them is Tsumiki Fushiguro, whom we have already talked about on the site. Tsumiki Fushiguro is Megumi Fusiguro’s older step-sister, someone Megumi cares about a lot. Now, Tsumiki appeared in only a few scenes so far, but her overall story is quite interesting, which is why we have decided to write up this article in which we are going to explain what happens to her in the future.

Tsumiki was, while still a student, hit by a curse on Yasohachi Bridge and has been in a coma for a long time. While in such a state, she was imbued with cursed energy and made into a vessel by Kenjaku, and after she woke up from her coma, she was dragged into the Culling Game. Yorozu, a powerful 1,000-year-old sorceress obsessed with Sukuna, ultimately possessed her body, which Sukuna targeted after taking control of Megumi’s body. Ultimately, Sukuna and Yorozu clashed, and Yorozu, along with Tsumiki, was killed by Sukuna, which plunged Megumi into even deeper despair.

The rest of this article will focus on the character of Tsumiki Fushiguro and her ultimate fate in Jujutsu Kaisen. Tsumiki Fushiguro was a truly interesting and quite important character with a very intriguing story, which is why her ultimate fate is of interest to fans, and that actually motivated us to write up this article, in which we will reveal everything that is known about her fate, which is resolved later in the manga. This article might contain a significant number of spoilers, so do be careful while you’re reading.

Tsumiki was possessed by Yorozu, but her ultimate demise was the result of Sukuna taking possession of Megumi

Long story short, Tsumiki is best known for being Megumi Fushiguro’s step-sister. Now, interestingly enough, the two of them are not related by blood, as Tsumiki was not Toji Fushiguro’s biological daughter; she was the daughter of Toji’s second wife, who thus became Toji’s step-daughter and Megumi’s step-sister. She was older than him, and when Toji died and her mother disappeared, the two siblings were left only with each other. Despite being the younger one, Megumi cared a lot about Tsumiki and considered himself her caretaker, so he rejected Gojo’s idea of going to the Zenin clan, as Tsumiki would not be happy there.

The two of them developed a close bond as siblings, and they even went to the same school. This was when the first major incident involving Tsumiki happened. Namely, we learn that she was cursed when she visited Yasohachi Bridge with a group of her friends while she was a third-year student.

At the start of the series, it was revealed that Megumi had a “sick” sister who needed to be cared for, and it was later explained that the incident was related to her being cursed on Yasohachi Bridge. She was in a coma, and if a strange series of events hadn’t taken place, she probably would have stayed in that state for the duration of the story.

But Pseudo-Geto, who was actually Kenjaku, had other ideas for her. Before the infamous Shibuya Incident, he used his Uzumaki technique to take Mahito’s Idle Transformation technique, which turned non-sorcerers into sorcerers by giving them cursed energy, and he imbued Tsumiki with cursed energy to turn her into a future vessel.

Tsumiki naturally gained more vitality as a result and came out of her coma, but given what Kenjaku had indicated, she still had a task to complete. Thus, her “recovery” wasn’t all that, and her story wasn’t happy.

So, what happened? Well, since she was not heavily featured in the story, we have to state that we had to wait for a while to actually see her story in a proper wave, and it was the Culling Game Arc that provided us with an answer to Tsumiki’s ultimate fate in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. This is where this article becomes spoiler-heavy, so be careful how you approach the upcoming paragraphs.

Namely, due to becoming a sorcerer against her own will, which we have said was a result of Kenjaku influencing her body and imbuing her with cursed energy, she was also – against her own will – dragged into the Culling Game, as Kenjaku used her as a vessel for a powerful ancient sorceress called Yorozu.

This was all a major part of Kenjaku’s overly intricate plan, as he knew how important Tsumiki was to Megumi, how important Megumi was to Sukuna, and how important Sukuna was to Yorozu, who intended to steal Tsumiki’s body at one point. At the same time as Kenjaku was putting this part of his plan into action, Sukuna had taken over Megumi’s body, and to completely crush his spirit and his resistance, he targeted Tsumiki, knowing that Megumi loved her very much.

Sukuna believed that killing Tsumiki (as Megumi) would completely crush the boy’s spirit, allowing Sukuna to control him more easily, something he could never do with Itadori, as Itadory constantly fought against him.

So, as we have said, Yorozu was a 1,000-year-old sorceress who was both powerful and obsessed with Sukuna, so Yorozu taking over Tsumiki’s body was a true piece of irony. She did not want to fight Sukuna, but Sukuna was always a narcissist, and he couldn’t really care less about Yorozu’s affection for him because he had a plan of his own, and his plan was to kill Tsumiki, so the fact that someone who loved him dearly was in Tsumiki’s body wouldn’t really change his plans in any way, and that is why Yorozu and Tsumiki both had to die.

So, as you might suspect, a fight ensued between the two siblings, whose bodies had been “stolen” by two powerful entities. What happened? Well, you probably can deduce that Tsumiki died in that fight. Sure, Yorozu was not weak, and the fight was great, with Yorozu showing what she was capable of, but with Sukuna having Megumi’s skills at his disposal, the fight was basically a one-way street.

Whatever Yorozu thought could work simply wouldn’t, as Sukuna would ultimately demonstrate his abilities and defeat her, which he did. So, with Yorozu’s death, Tsumiki also died, and her story ended in a most unexpected and quite unfair way, as she was dragged into everything that happened to her in the story.

Tsumiki never wanted anything that happened to her, and while we do know that Akutami is known for killing off his characters, Tsumiki’s ultimate fate seems to be quite unfair as the girl really did not deserve anything that happened to her. Her whole story was just a plot element for Megumi’s story, and since she was quite nice as a character, it just seems unfair.
