Top 10 Coolest Things About Megumi Fushiguro

Megumi Fushiguro is a central sorcerer in ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’, a first-year at Tokyo Jujutsu High known for summoning shikigami from shadows and fighting with calm precision. He inherits the Zenin clan’s Ten Shadows Technique but keeps his father’s surname, reflecting a complicated family history that shapes his path. Across the manga and anime, he grows through high-stakes battles, mentorship from Satoru Gojo, and constant field missions. Here are ten concrete aspects of Megumi that fans consistently point to when explaining why he stands out.

Ten Shadows Technique

Megumi’s signature Ten Shadows Technique allows him to conjure and command shikigami formed from his own shadows. He uses hand signs to manifest specific shikigami, each with distinct strengths and tactical roles. The technique also lets him manipulate shadows themselves as a medium—extending reach, concealing movement, and storing objects. Because the shikigami are tied to his energy and will, their performance scales with his control and stamina.

Divine Dogs

Divine Dogs are Megumi’s foundational shikigami, typically summoned as a coordinated pair for tracking, pursuit, and close-quarters strikes. Their keen senses make them reliable for locating curses in urban and rural environments. After one is destroyed in battle, its strength is inherited by the surviving counterpart, enhancing future summons. They are fast to deploy, which makes them Megumi’s go-to option when a fight breaks out suddenly.

Nue

Nue gives Megumi aerial dominance by striking from above with powerful, lightning-charged dives. It’s effective for disrupting flying opponents, breaking enemy formations, or covering evacuations from rooftops and open spaces. Nue also serves as mobile reconnaissance, scouting areas that are risky to approach on foot. When paired with ground-based shikigami, it enables pincer attacks that squeeze targets from multiple vectors.

Max Elephant

Max Elephant manifests as a massive, high-mass shikigami capable of producing torrents of water on impact. Megumi often uses it to alter terrain—flooding floors, shifting footing, and forcing opponents into disadvantageous positions. Its bulk creates natural cover and momentum for follow-up techniques or allies’ attacks. Despite its size, it emerges from shadows, letting Megumi drop it precisely where the field conditions demand.

Rabbit Escape

Rabbit Escape overwhelms vision by releasing a swarm of shadow rabbits that scatter in all directions. The technique is optimized for distraction, misdirection, and crowd control rather than damage. Megumi uses it to break line of sight, create openings for retreats or rescues, and to mask the setup for a stronger summon. Its low individual cost and high visual noise make it a reliable tempo reset during chaotic fights.

Chimera Shadow Garden

Chimera Shadow Garden is Megumi’s Domain, expanding a flooded shadow field that boosts his conjurations and mobility. Inside the Domain, he can generate multiple shikigami simultaneously, extend shadow reach, and attack from unexpected angles. Unlike fully sealed Domains, it’s a developing manifestation, but it meaningfully amplifies his close-range pressure and creativity. The environment itself becomes a weapon, turning walls, floors, and ceilings into launch points for surprise strikes.

Shikigami Rules and Inheritance

Megumi’s technique follows strict rules: when a shikigami is destroyed, its power can be inherited by another, permanently changing his roster. This mechanic pushes him to make measured trade-offs—sacrificing one summon can strengthen future configurations. Each shikigami requires a ritualized exorcism or subjugation before it can be reliably deployed. These rules create a progression path where his set of options evolves with each major confrontation.

Zenin Lineage and Gojo’s Guardianship

Megumi is the son of Toji Fushiguro, born into the Zenin bloodline tied to the Ten Shadows Technique, but he retains the Fushiguro name. The Zenin clan’s internal politics and expectations form a backdrop to his training and the value placed on his technique. Satoru Gojo becomes his guardian and oversees his education at Tokyo Jujutsu High, steering him toward sorcery rather than clan leverage. This arrangement gives Megumi institutional support while insulating him from clan pressures.

Sukuna’s Interest

Ryomen Sukuna takes a particular interest in Megumi because of the Ten Shadows Technique’s potential, intervening at pivotal moments tied to Megumi’s growth. This attention affects battle dynamics, drawing dangerous focus toward him during exorcisms and incidents. Key confrontations highlight how Megumi’s technique can influence larger conflicts beyond a single mission. The connection elevates his role in arcs that shape the broader power balance in ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’.

Team Coordination with Yuji and Nobara

In field missions, Megumi’s summons and shadow control pair naturally with Yuji Itadori’s close-range power and Nobara Kugisaki’s ranged curse techniques. He often sets the stage—scouting with Nue, disrupting with Rabbit Escape, and then enabling allies to capitalize. His steady communication and situational reads help the trio divide roles quickly under pressure. This synergy is a core feature of early operations depicted across ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ and its related material, including ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’.
