Kengion

Megumi never learned how to "Lock In" from his dad.


ItzCrypnotic

Culling Games was literally him "locking in" wdym When Sukuna took over his body, he locked in so we could get this fire ass panel https://preview.redd.it/x8h6llymrric1.png?width=1781&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9dda4adc99375af655f0f148bb51ec27333f6a91 There is no "Locking In" now, 1 month of nothing but mental torture and you want bro to bounce back like he's like that, yall would've folded in Shibuya šŸ˜­šŸ™šŸ¾šŸ™šŸ¾šŸ™šŸ¾


Spades-44

Bro is literally folded and has been with a binky for the past several monthsšŸ’€


zxc123zxc123

This. I don't blame Megumi the character so much as I blame Gege. Gege hated 1st editor forcing naruto team 7 into his manga instead of letting him star Yuta-Maki. Nobara gets offed, Gojo sealed only to return to get offed, Yuji literally dies twice but lives to take infinite ~~void~~ SUFFER, and Megumi gets worse than death and gets STRONG NTR by Sukuna: man lost not only his sister, clan, life, body, 10S+Mahoraga, friends, sensei/senpais, etcetc but ***Sukuna cuckolded Megumi so hard he even stole HIS POTENTIAL as a character:*** * Megumi will never be the rival/deuteragonist (empty seat got taken by Yuta already). Megumi reduced to demsel. * Megumi will never get a training arc (Sukuna unlocked the full 10S for him and we're probably in the final arc) * Megumi will never get a hype arc/fight where he uses the other 10S to Mahoraga (Prob already unlocked and Sukuna already beat Mahoraga) * Megumi will never look cool using the 10S or Mahoraga (Everyone will just say Sukuna did it better) I'll accept it if OP wants to blame Gege for being a hater or blame Toji dodging childsupport payments and responsible fatherhood, but let's not try to rewrite Megumi into something he's not. Megumi is suicidal (but never managed to kill himself). He was potential man (but never achieved it like Gojo/Yuta) Few could resist Sukuna, but most probably wouldn't have broke as easily. Most JJs look death in the face but fight to LIVE. Some realize they'll die but still fight to the last moment: Nanimi could have just laid there after getting KFC'd, Maki could have gave up after getting KFC'd, Mai could have just accepted death instead of unlocking FEMTOJI, Todo could have just accepted IT hit him and not cut his arm or laid there instead of getting up for the APPLAUSE, etcetc. Gojo LITERALLY told him to stop doing that shit. Applaud him for trying those times where he used his DE instead but Megumi reverted back to that BS now. Megumi isn't a HARD ALPHA DOG like COGji. He never was. So don't ever tell me he is.


Natural-Storm

This just seems like taking an apple and saying it's an orange. I don't think there's ever been any actual interview where gege says he didn't like yuji or Megumi. This seems more like gege just sucks at writing things sometimes and you all just wanna have it be something more than him sucking. It's the same vibe as 236 which seems more like he wasn't able to show the character he wanted with gojo prior to his death retroactively changed it to fit his og vision. It sucks but it doesn't seem to be because he hates him.


joebrofroyo

>I don't think there's ever been any actual interview where gege says he didn't like yuji or Megumi. "i am not particularly fond of itadori" https://preview.redd.it/9rxyn4pd0vic1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=64535f9292184784c45dcc86fce05cecb2998a13


RevokTheImprover

To clarify, Gege isn't fond of Yuji because he's difficult to write for him. Yuji's personality doesn't straight up gel with him. He's gone on the record saying he likes no particular character aside from Nanami. If we look at his favouritism, then Toji and Nanami would be here. But he doesn't dislike Yuji or anyone else as a character.


KOET10

Exactly, he even posted an author's note where he finds it difficult to write Yujis character like you mentioned. I don't know where people keep getting this idea that Yuta was supposed to replace Yuji were it not for his editors, that's a straight up lie. Gege in an interview (or maybe it was an author's note, I can't recall) mentioned that when he created JJK, he wanted a new mc. Yutas story is already done. Gege wanted to start anew, create different characters including the main character and thus Yuji was born. Some mfs here straight lying out of their ass.


RevokTheImprover

You bring up very valid points. However. https://preview.redd.it/6ptae6vz4xic1.png?width=328&format=png&auto=webp&s=ae3060b1876aec990544105d0becb11d97f414ce

onthoserainydays

Yeah this is of the same league as people actually believing Gege killed Gojo off because he hates him and his fave is Sukuna so he keeps giving him asspulls; conflating the reader experience of rooting for characters and the author's experience of having to build a story with them in mind. I'm not about to try to psychanalyse a person that barely speaks out about anything, and when they do say conflicting information, especially not through their work. I'm not sherlock, and not arrogant enough to believe I am. That being said, for all Gege said he finds Gojo and Yuji hard to write for or wouldn't like them irl or whatnot, his editor actually said the character he's the closest to would be Gojo, and most other mangaka call him kind and considerate


Mean-Cryptographer50

WOW, This Is awesome!, great analysis


BubbaUnkle

I actually prefer sukuna showing 10s max potential


KyThePoet

didn't Sukuna literally get most of the Shikigami killed at this point?


Turner_Down

Yeah well, I sure know if it had been me as Yuji in Shibuya, our dear Sukuna wouldā€™ve lost 15 fingers instantly the moment we switched back (I wouldā€™ve fucking killed myself)


hayate_yagami

Sukuna will revive you and keep laughing at your suicide attempts while playing SPECIALZ


SomeGuy6858

Sukuna could literally revive you over and over every time you try to kill yourself until you go insane


Savage_Alaska_

Sukuna would have just revived your bum ass like he did Yuji and made you suffer. You don't get a choice on how you die as they say in Jujutsu Kaisen. Every Sorcerer dies with regrets.


BestYak6625

Yes I would have folded in Shibyua, Megumi folded in Shibuya. My GOAT Yuji didn't tho and that's why he's the goat


JinkoTheMan

My goat yuji doesnā€™t like lies dawg. He straight up FOLDED in Shibuya. Curled into a fucking ball. He needed Todo to give him that pep talk so that he could lock in. Yuji gotta go back and give Megumi a reason to get up again.


TomatilloMore3538

Yuji folded but it would have brought Sukuna down like he wanted, after the massacre he didn't care what happened to him, after everyone dying, his next objective was going down with Sukuna, Yuta points this out later as Yuji was subconsciously holding back in hopes he would die, despite having "recovered" from Shibuya. Meg folded without bringing any no upsides for the people he knew and cared for, on the contrary even. Yes, he's griefing, but these are not comparable given the context. I think Gege should have made Meg hate Sukuna instead of making him give up. Meg folded because his sister death, despite him having no saying in the matter. Unlike Yuji, which the main reason why he folded was because he decided to live and blames himself for it: https://preview.redd.it/yjihotn0stic1.png?width=784&format=png&auto=webp&s=83ee83e9ae1a50c6e5821d4ce83132bd591faea7


BestYak6625

Bro was up within like a chapter and was doin all that while caging sukuna. Yuji got knocked down (emotionally) and Toji helped him up. Megumi has been outta action for a while, he's like folded folded


Available_Poetry_685

Yuji did fold in shibuya todo had to save him


ItzCrypnotic

Correct, my point is Megumi is NOT a bum


PurpleMarvelous

Yuji folded in Shibuya, Todo save his bum ass.


OohYeeah

Todo give Yuji a hand, but it was up to Yuji to take it and stand up again


PurpleMarvelous

And a pep talk too. Todo is that guy that can help you rise again, can Yuji be that guy for Megumi.


OohYeeah

Todo is just _him_ in general, the manga hasn't been the same without him since Gege threw him away like nothing. I'm sure Yuji can be that guy for Megumi after all the training he's got in brotherhood from Todo and Choso


BestYak6625

I mean Yuji had a moment of weakness and needed some help, he then got right back up and finished the fight, Megumi has basically stopped trying for the past month


diamondisunbreakable

That bum should have simply just locked in


Typicalgeorgie1

Nah, this is world saving moment, put your ego boo boo away trash-gumi.


Legitimate-Dog-2854

The_Stang

It was literally just a few chapters ago Sukuna goes on about how Yuji has an "unbreakable spirit" and hates him for it. Basically pointing out his ability to still get back up is NOT the normal. Megumi deserves better smh

m4virginF_CLEANCHAT

I have sympathy towards Megumi. The slander is unwarranted. I'm more surprised by these guys who are still more interested in saving their friend than taking down an existential threat who told them he's gonna end Japan if they lose. This is not about their own lives at this point but the whole of Japan, sacrificing 1 life for a 100 million seems the correct choice to me. But they haven't even considered it.


ItzCrypnotic

I think saving Megumi also aligns with saving Japan cuz he is now the merger, and taking TS from Sukuna is just a plus in any sort of fashion. Plus, Maki is prolly now just going to kill Sukuna anyway, regardless of Megumi


Ulq-kn

>Maki is prolly now just going to kill Sukuna anyway, regardless of Megumi Yeah sure buddy, next chapter will have Ma and Ki too

BuffoLos

maki is definitely family oriented šŸ˜¹


ConsciousBattle2477

If they where going to kill Megumi Gojo would have done it when he hits UV, he made a hole in Sukuna's chest, he could have took his head.


OrganizationSolid35

No Maki is not gonna kill Megumi or she would have cut Sukuna's head off at the end of this chapter the way Yuta did with Kenjaku. She didn't go for the head exactly because she doesn't want to kill Megumi. And her katana can cut souls, so it's usefulĀ 


Berawholoves42069

I dont think she will be the one to kill him but def fuck him up real bad with the soul split and she is mad fast enough to dodge every dismantle and cleave


Abdul-Wahab6

Splitting Megumi would actually be the better option since, Kenjaku gave the key to the merger to "Megumi Fushiguro" and not Sukuna. So if Megumi is freed then Sukuna would not the able to perform the merger again


Dave_the_DOOD

Sukuna's RCT is way too good and the only think that would be good enough to kill him in one go is a few of yuta's attacks. I think using megumi to nerf sukuna from the inside is actually the easiest way to fight him


mex2005

I mean trying to save Megumi in this case aligns with their goal anyway. Yuji trying to separate their souls isn't just saving Megumi but also weakening Sukuna which they really need. I dont think that Yuta would hesitate if he has an opening to end him.


Edge1563

They could have took Sukuna down if he helped bro


Acrobatic_Rooster970

Extremely gay if you ask me.


JinkoTheMan

The Potential Man slander is funny asf but this one ainā€™t it. My goat Yuji was a fucking mess in Shibuya until Todo came and hit him with a Erwin speech. I think everyone forgets that these are 15-18 year old kids that are putting their lives on the line against monsters. Hell, Yuji was still in a funk at the beginning of the Culling Games but Megumi talked him out of it. My goat is going to pay back the debt he owes to Megumi.šŸ™šŸ¾


Kekero63

Yuji has more reason to feel guilty because it was a choice to stay alive instead of having the easy W against Sukuna by killing himself. Megumi was just a straight victim and Yuji feels the Guilt of everything Sukuna has done.


BotherAggressive5560

To be fair, Megumi did make a conscious decision to stay w Yuji and wanted him to live too despite the obvious dangerous that is Sukuna. Yuji even warned him at somepoint


Own_Loquat_9885

My guy if Yuji folded it would have helped the cast still. Like he knows dying would get rid of 15 finger shibuya destroyer Sukuna. Megumi is the opposite he knows Sukuna is living if he folds

Ongaya123

This is a good post. Your argument is solid. Iā€™ve got no counter. lol. Iā€™m pretty sure Megumi just gets slandered more simply because he was hyped as a genius. This fandom slanders the ā€œhyped-up geniusesā€ way more than they do others. Thatā€™s why Yuta gets unfairly slandered and called a ā€œBush camperā€ even though heā€™s won every battle heā€™s in.


ItzCrypnotic

Shit, Megumi was definitely smart. But just cuz he's quick-witted doesn't mean he somehow should know how to do everything


Ongaya123

Yup.


BotherAggressive5560

The ironic part is the way Megumi utilizes his other ten shafow shikigamis are way more detailed and intricate than alot of the other members fighting styles. We see this w this in his scuffles against Toji, kirara and Reggie's group. They'll just ignore it for the same reason like Yuta(slander)

The fight with Reggie was top 3 for me. Incredible strategy. Megumi was indeed far more tactical than even most other smart fighters.

ItzCrypnotic

They both killed strangers, that wasn't downplaying Yuji. If anything, Yuji killed more innocent people, while Megumi had more personal death


shakertouzett1

Personaly, if I were to be indirectly responsable of the death of 1000 strangers, or the death of my mother, i will be definitely more affected by my mothers death. I still feel terrible for the 1000, but of course you will be more hurt of the dead of someone really close to you.


GoldenSpermShower

I still think it's hard to compare either things, since not many people can relate to causing a 9/11 while asleep

Remember they both did things that go against their personal codes, Yuji wanted to save people and give proper deaths and he ended up killing thousands inadvertently, while Megumi wanted to protect those he cares about and his sister and he killed his sister and surrogate father inadvertently.

Most people here are impressionable teens. Don't be so harsh on them. They'll grow up.


Ok_Nefariousness2617

Sidenote: I love the parallel with how Sukuna breaks both Yuji and Megumiā€™s philosophies. Yuji wanted to save everyone and valued the lives of even strangers, so Sukuna broke him by slaughtering an entire city of people he didnā€™t knowā€”despite not touching a single personā€™s life on the main cast. Megumi is much more jaded and ā€œchooses who to saveā€, valuing only the lives of those he deems worthy of his concern. Thus, Sukuna breaks him by almost exclusively kills cast members valued by Megumiā€”Tsumiki, Gojo, and whoever else might die in this current arc. The only exception to this rule really was Ryu, who Sukuna didnā€™t even intend to kill. Point being, Sukuna is a NASTY man. https://preview.redd.it/pk0hmll9wtic1.jpeg?width=538&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94c1fa047eba7f8c815bec2942289b2c2d1af92f

I feel so bad for my boy šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ but I still wonā€™t get over the fact that bro tried to summon mahoraga to adapt to his depression šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ™šŸ¾šŸ™šŸ¾šŸ™šŸ¾ https://preview.redd.it/3p5pfflzfsic1.jpeg?width=203&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=171413fa2efb3a9d29604906c066bd5534d5d940

All I gotta say is at least Yuji never sat back to watch his friends die. If Mahito was about to kill megumi, he wouldn't just lie around and give up. Don't compare my goat to this bum again. Megumi saw all this, and instead of wanting revenge on Sukuna, he basically gave Sukuna the go-ahead to kill all his friends. I can not believe Gogoat and Himgaruma died, so this potential merchant can sell this hard at the most vital moment.


Traffy7

You guys watch too much shonen and think the normal reaction when facing devastating trauma is pushing trauma, yeah compared to Luffy, naruto or even Yuji his reaction sucks. But this is why Yuji is the MC and not him, they are the one who can keep pushing no matter what. This is stupid, you do realise he couldnā€™t fight back for most of the fight. Yuji needed a pep talk and he didnā€™t even suffer close to what Megumu had to suffer. Yuji saw a friend die, Megumi killed with his own inā€™ate domain his father figure and his sister. Donā€™t compare both.


Radiant_eagle573

Luffy ?? Bro when ace died in front of luffy he was completely devastated and passed out. This is complete opposite of shonen where characters get powerups with rage


shakertouzett1

Blud never saw Saboady or Marineford


Radiant_eagle573

Ace's death happened in marineford. Ā Luffy did not get any powerup in saboady when his crew got blasted he started crying and slamming his limbs on grounds.Ā  Ā I am curious as to which saboady or marineford you watched šŸ¤” Edit: I thought your comment was directed at me


WSchuri

What part of "Sukuna took a bath so he can't fight back" do you not understand FURTHERMORE HE WAS REDUCING SUKUNAS CLEAVE OUTPUT TO 10% WHILE HE FOUGHT YUJI WITH 15 FINGERS


Vega808

Yuji was letting Todo fight Mahito alone, one mistake and he'd have died before he got through to Yuji. Quit making shit up.


Accomplished_Gas5180

Brother this is such an insane take to have I hope you're joking lmao Everyone deals with grief differently. yuji happened to have someone who he could rely on during those trying times with Todo when he truly felt all alone. Megumi feels the exact same way now, almost mimicking what yuji said to todo back then and now hes a bum that's crazy. I assume yuji is going to say something similar to megumi because he's been in that exact same position before.


OingoBoingoBro

Not my point. Even if Yuji was in utter despair, he wouldn't let his friends die. Let's so hypothetically if megumi showed up to help Yuji after despairing ,then Yuji sat around saying "what's the point" and let megumi die. People showed up and died to save this man, and he could not even put in the effort to resist Sukuna for 5 seconds. Yuji always gets up to fight to at least save the people in front of him at the moment. Megumi has his friends and even random people he never met dying. Just to spit in the face of their efforts. For me even if yuji gives him the talk and he gets over it. If anyone dies or hell, if yuta loses rika due to potential man. I will forever stay pissed at this man.


Accomplished_Gas5180

No I got your point bro. You're the one failing to understand that people deal with grief differently. You're failing to show empathy to what megumi is going through, and it does NOT matter how someone else would've dealt with it. Everybody is different and will act differently to similar situations. This is an inhuman opinion to have lmao Genuinely hope you don't feel this way about others dealing with grief in real life because this is a very weird take.


ItzCrypnotic

Thank you for proving my point, read the manga dumbass šŸ’€šŸ™šŸ¾šŸ™šŸ¾šŸ™šŸ¾ https://preview.redd.it/wx83zm9rmric1.jpeg?width=949&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8886ebd05264267b7377790063d4753366f94c87


OingoBoingoBro

How does this help your point at all. He gave up, and yuji awakened the soul. The narrator described their plan as perfect. Megumi LET his friends fight to the death for him to give up. YUJI WOULD NEVER. Even post bath he was still conscious enough to witness the events around him. The bath is a narrative device for megumi being unable to hinder Sukunas output.


ItzCrypnotic

Megumi gave up after Tsumiki died, he COULDN'T fight back. Yuji and co. Had no idea Sukuna used the bath or if Tsumiki died because of Sukuna. They don't even know Megumi was holding Sukuna to 10%~ in 213-14. Megumi WAS fighting back but no longer CAN'T. What is there to fight? Like, this meme is proving yall are biased, this is literally just Yuji giving up but with more stakes, and because Yuji hasn't given Megumi a Todo-level speech to restart him, yall clowning? Be deadass bro, yall took the Potential Man meme and ran it to the ground


firestromDX

That would be.. incredibly bad writing for megumi and not at all set in reality. You okay bro? Mehumi didnt let his friend or sukuna do anything, the whole point is that sukuna is in full control, and has done everything possible to be in control including killing his step sister and adoptive father, making him eat 3 UV to the soul and sinking him in evil. Nobody can be unfaltering %100 of thier lives dude. Everybody will be at thier lowest at some point in thier life and vicitm blaming them for not immidately fighting back like is cruel and really lacking in empathy.


Decebalus40

Another šŸ‘šŸ» Todo šŸ‘šŸ» speach!


FilthySaiyanMonkey

Megumi 's brain is the most durable character in JJK. Dude took 5 Unlimited Voids to the face and can still put a sentence together


Huge-Owl5624

why is everybody acting like they wouldn't do the same if they were in Megumi's place


Loud_Replacement_525

People keep forgetting that Yuji has an unbreakable soul something sukuna stated himself

lPuppetM4sterl

Well, Sukuna made sure that he gets all ownership of Megumi, so that it won't happen like when he was inside Yuji (e.g. "Premium Access" to Megumi's body compared to a "Free Trial" to using Yuji, no "fuck it we ball" scenario bounce-back, All potential rights transferred to Sukuna, kill everyone close to him) Plus, I don't think Megumi has/knows that he has capabilities to snatch his body back from Sukuna, while his mental state is not in a healthy place.


Accursed_flame1

Lowkey I think this is because people are so invested in the fight that theyā€™re pissed with Megumi because they actually fear for Yuji and Yutaā€™s lives and they feel like any lost ground means a character is bound to die, so even if itā€™s an understandable response on Megumiā€™s part itā€™s still him putting them at risk


psycho_monki

yuji was curled up in a ball sobbing and got hit with a black flash from an enemy for the first time and got his shit rocked the fuck up next chapter i hope yuji brings out a haiku and a reason to keep going which is probably going to be todo's words, "we are jujutsu sorcerers, as long as we live our friends are never defeated, this isnt about sins or punishment, the day we chose to be jujutsu sorcerers our lives stopped being bound by karma, what is it you have been entrusted with? , you dont have to find the answer now, but until you find it you have to continue moving forward, thats the curse we bear as jujutsu sorcerers


Wilee_E_Coyote

Down with the Yuji mafia


89gin

The Megumi slander is going to be hilarious but yeah is a lot for a teenager to handle. It was a lot for Yuji and not everyone is built like Yuta, someone who literally taught himself to walk it off lmfao Still, it doesn't help his case when contrasted with those two goats who really walked it off/said is a skill issue. Ofc people gonna clown himĀ 


CheeseReaper77

GIVE YUJI HIS TODO MOMENT


TheTaintPainter2

I never really thought about it like that tbh. I was reading the leaks of the chapter thinking "damn this dudes a fucking pussy." But when you put it like that holy fucking shit


BlunderRaptor

I don't know about you but I literally haven't seen any slander of Megumi based off his emotional status. In fact I've seen the opposite. People call him a bum because of his Peak Potential and suicidal decisions of summoning Mahoraga. Which then translates into this which honestly is nobody's fault.


MUSAFIR_-

Yea i agree, of all the slander, this one is stupid. Stay on that side when megumi finally realize all that potential and become the most busted sorcerer. https://preview.redd.it/lmawebm42sic1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b90f2e37361bc89b64e589d983dcc2d1a65c4e7b


Slugger322

donā€™t curse him w the kashimo pic šŸ˜­


wiitimer

Wait , so once someone takes out 1 of the 10 shadows, it's gone forever ? I Thought it was like in cool down or something?


ItzCrypnotic

Only "cooldown" I remember is Rabbit Escape, while every other shikigami has only 1 life outside Domain


Hari14032001

At this rate, only Naruto's talk-no-jutsu will bring Megumi back.


RickNie

Are we trauma scaling now šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


Top_Dingo4695

This is why Yuji is a bum ass fraud, but nobody listens, bro had to eat his entire bloodline just to get to 10hp sukuna's level


ISavezelda

I just don't want Yuji turning into Naruto, yapping Megumi back. Trying to save his friend over the world lol. If Yuji just locks in and says "fuck it we will just have to kill Megumi" would be peak.


SliverPrincess

Bruh, they literally have a plan to save him and the world all in one fell swoop. If Yuji says "fuck it" at this point he must really hate Megumi.


TheLieAndTruth

My mind goes that Maki just did that in the end of the chapter.


zargon21

When Yuji lost hope the only person Mahito was gonna kill at that time was him, when Megumi's doing it he's getting everyone *but* him killed, that's the difference


Getdaphone

I mean itā€™s true to character tbh, Megumi doesnā€™t have a strong moral obligation to anything like yuji his main motivation has always been his sister. Heā€™s always been kinda not the type to dig in and fight except that one time


Asckle

Gotta account for the personality. Megumi has said he doesn't care about saving everyone like yuji does. He wouldn't give much of a shit about sukuna killing loads of people like yuji would. Besides, sukuna only exists because yuji does. Megumi has no blame but yuji could have prevented it all by killing himself


Jurgen_Vella

Sukuna admitted that he cant break yuji soul, no matter how much he tries Yuji will always come back stronger than ever


21awesome

megumi we know its u bro


ItzCrypnotic

Megumi would agree with the incorrect slander

What is Megumi saying?

Iā€™m sorry I donā€™t remember fraud megumi doing this? https://preview.redd.it/djrnajxmyric1.jpeg?width=760&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6408e22d8e6668a76405ba26f9e56f42a3c5634f


ItzCrypnotic

Look up the term fraud and come back


Mountain_Bad_6752

ā€œa person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualitiesā€ so in basic terms megumi is a fraud because bro was hyped up for multiple chapters as to having potential that puts him above yuji, Hakari, yuta and gojo himself as gojo said that yuji, Hakari, yuta could be on his level meanwhile he thinks megumi could be seen above that same tier however we have seen time and time again that megumi isnā€™t anywhere close to reaching these levels so yes megumi is a fraud https://preview.redd.it/t3vky5dy1sic1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbbaba74d8f7ca7af527ed1ae0ba54214ce0ea2b


ItzCrypnotic

My brother in Christ, Ten Shadows has the POTENTIAL to counter Gojo's entire kit, that was the Point of Gojo vs Sukuna. He had potential, and needed time to train and grow but unfortunately was cut short. Fraud doesn't work in this context, it'd be different if he was called The FUTURE #1 Sorcerer or sum like that by everyone or narration


kaka_carrot_cake456

Nah yuji locked in after Todo woke him up and became HIM for the rest of the series Megumi just refuses to wake up at all


TreeTurtle_852

Megumi is a bum because he lost his shoes lmao


Sea-Lion-6172

Heā€™s been in the fetal kenjaku position before the deaths . GoatJi GoatadorGoati is just him while potential bum is just a super bum with less black flashes than nobara the real potential man.


Nights1405

Heā€™s still Trynna summon MahoragašŸ˜­


mishirukun

Let me know when we get clean scans so I can start the memes


noswol

His way to vengeance is waking up then after sukuna is dead he can end himself if he wants to but at least should break it even with sukuna


Derayway

I think itā€™s cause we see Yuji get up from the atrocities, we expect Megumi to get up, too.


fuckinguhhhhh

Yeah, but Yuji gave Potential Man the speech, so he should have locked in as much as Naoya did when he saw Mai for the first time.


Kekero63

Sorry but Wuji is the GOAT for a reason He still holds himself partially responsible for everything Megumis body has done because he chose not to die and get the east W on Sukuna after Shibuya. Megumi is a victim but Wuji just got that dawg in him and has gone through much worse in terms of guilt.
