Appareance

Megumi is a relatively tall and slim young man with fair skin and green eyes (dark-blue eyes in the anime adaptation) that slant upwards to denote his harsher and colder personality. He has uniquely styled black hair with long spikes that jut out in every direction around his head, resembling a sea-urchin (according to Hakari). When first meeting Megumi, Gojo noted the resemblance to his father Toji Fushiguro and Megumi himself has similar facial features and the same green eyes as his late father. Following the Shinjuku Showdown Arc and his separation from Sukuna, Megumi acquires three facial scars corresponding with the eyes of Sukuna's incarnated form: one scar below Megumi's left eye, and two scars where the eyes of Sukuna's "second face" were.[5] Megumi typically wears a standard Jujutsu High uniform with a dark blue jacket over a long-sleeved white dress shirt. His uniform pants match his jacket and only reach to just above his shins. He wears long black socks that cover his exposed ankles and finishes his outfit with low-top brown shoes. He also has a blue tracksuit for training. In middle school, Megumi wore the Saitama Urami East Junior High uniform, which consisted of a tan jacket over a white dress shirt with black pants and white sneakers. While sneaking inside the Gachinko Fight Club, Megumi wore a black hoodie and matching pants with his normal shoes as a disguise.

Personality

Megumi is a very outwardly stoic, aloof, and calculating individual. He usually has a neutral facial expression that he rarely changes, making it appear as if he takes every situation seriously. This contrasts heavily with Yuji, Nobara, and Satoru's outgoing and goofy personalities, which often annoy Megumi. He's easily irritated and Yuji has noted that Megumi seems like he's always slightly angry Even as a child, Megumi was very stern, earnest, and thoughtful, to the point where Satoru questioned if he was a first-grader when they first met. He didn't care for his father and assumed he and Tsumiki were abandoned. Megumi understood his situation with the Zenin clan and stood firm that he would only cooperate if Tsumiki were happy as well Megumi has always been annoyed by Satoru's attitude ever since they first met. He didn't care for the idea of becoming a sorcerer and became more jaded about it over time. By the time Megumi reached middle school, his impersonal attitude had fully set in. He thought becoming a jujutsu sorcerer would be pointless as he didn't see himself as someone who saves others. Uninterested in making friends, Megumi believed the basis of human interaction was avoiding violating someone else's dignity. He would beat up school bullies who ignored this rule to feed their egos, gaining a reputation as the biggest troublemaker in school as a result. Tsumiki wanted him to stop getting in fights but Megumi didn't listen and wrote her off. Megumi hated bad people with unearned pride just as much as he did good people who were too merciful to the former. Tsumiki was a perfect example of a good person to Megumi but he would disagree with and get annoyed with her anytime she scolded him for hurting someone bad. After Tsumiki fell into an unending sleep, Megumi realized he was acting immaturely. He knew Tsumiki was choosing to protect and that she believed that his lack of forgiveness was his way of showing kindness. After Tsumiki was cursed, Megumi was filled with regret and found the drive to become a sorcerer so he could save her As a jujutsu sorcerer, Megumi developed his sense of justice and is steadfast in his interpretation of right and wrong. Like his mentor, Megumi refuses to be influenced by traditions within the jujutsu world. Yuji should've been executed when they first met but Megumi ignored the rules and made a personal request to Satoru to protect him Megumi was unsure for a while if he made the correct decision. He was uncomfortable with the idea that he was someone who saved people. He believed saving the wrong people could hurt innocent people in the future, which made saving Yuji a contradictory decision.[10] Megumi learned. Megumi cast aside his uncertainty when he came face-to-face with the consequences of his choice, Sukuna. He decided the only thing that's fair in life is how it's unfair to everyone and sorcerers can be a cog in karmic retribution. He wants more good people like Tsumiki to receive fairness and that's why he'll save people unfairly. Megumi realized that he didn't save Yuji because it was logical, he did it because he didn't want to see a good person die. He knows it was a selfish and emotional decision but he's okay with that because he's not a hero, he's a jujutsu sorcerer. That is why Megumi never regretted saving Yuji, not even for a second.

Personality +

Being unable to save Yuji or Tadashi Okazaki during the detention center incident left Megumi pondering his role as a sorcerer. He asked Maki what kind of people she wanted to save, only to be annoyed by her response. Megumi and Nobara weren't exactly friends at this point, but Yuji's premature demise brought them closer together. It was the first time either of them lost a friend in battle and they decided to honor him by participating in the Goodwill Event to honor their fallen friend, swearing to get stronger no matter what. In response to Todo's classic "what kind of girls do you like?" question, Megumi said that he doesn't have a preference as long as his partner is compassionate. He was trying to de-escalate the situation but this only irritated Todo due to their opposing personalities. When it came to blows, despite being outmatched, Megumi never backed down.Megumi didn't hold any resentment toward Todo and was uninterested in a rematch, which disappointed Panda. Megumi didn't have any loyalty to the Zenin clan so he didn't reciprocate Noritoshi Kamo's familiarity with him. He rejected Noritoshi's belief that as descendants of the Big Three Families, they were obligated to kill Sukuna's vessel. Megumi expressed that he didn't care about being right or wrong and acted only according to his conscience. He told Noritoshi that he would save people unfairly and if they disagree, they would have to agree to curse each other instead. Megumi was distant with Yuji and Nobara despite considering them his comrades and friends. He was so embarrassed when they visited his middle school that he couldn't speak properly. Yuji and Nobara felt Megumi never shared much with them and hassled him for about his secretiveness. Megumi even blushed when he was reunited with Takeda and was annoyed with Akari Nitta for making him the one to speak with the faculty member. He never shared information on Tsumiki's condition with any of them, Nobara didn't even know he had siblings. Even when Megumi found out Tsumiki could be in danger, he initially refused to involve Yuji and Nobara. They assured him he didn't have to share everything but asked that he depend on them as his friends. This encouragement helped Megumi admit the truth about Tsumiki's condition and his concerns. Yuji and Nobara dismissed the danger of the mission and told Megumi he should've led with that information. Pleased with his comrades' willingness to help him, Megumi smiled. Megumi, who lacks any sort of competitive edge, can feel insecure about his strength as a sorcerer. He made it a point to tell Yuji he would surpass him after the Goodwill Event. Pressured by Yuji's rapid growth, he even went to Gojo for training when any interaction between them is a hassle for Megumi. Gojo made Megumi realize his mindset was holding him back from bringing out his best. He relied too heavily on a failsafe and only achieved his growth when he decided to be selfish and visualize a stronger future for himself. This aided Megumi in achieving domain expansion for the first time, while he was untethered and smiling like a madman. Megumi and Yuji have a shared guilt for accidentally incarnating Sukuna. They both accepted responsibility for Sukuna's rampage in Shibuya. While Yuji felt he couldn't return to Jujutsu High, Megumi believed that was a selfish route. He doesn't think anyone can judge jujutsu sorcerers so they must continually prove their existence by saving people. Megumi told Yuji he could start by saving him, a plea for help to rescue Tsumiki from the Culling Game.

Personality ++

egumi feels no loyalty or connection to the Zenin clan, treating Tsumiki as his family. The only member of the Zenin clan Megumi interacts with is Maki, and their relationship is more friendly than familial. Maki wanted Megumi to help her by becoming the head of the clan after Naobito's death but he was completely uninterested. Megumi's reserved personality immediately led him to reject the position, claiming it was too much of a hassle. He isn't very materialistic and social status isn't important to him either, so he couldn't care less about the fortune he'd receive. He told Maki he'd step down so she could lead the clan instead. Even after Maki pointed out several legitimate reasons why Megumi would be a more acceptable head, he continued to stubbornly push back simply because he didn't want to do it. It was only when Megumi realized how important it was to Maki that he accepted. While Megumi cares about protecting those close to him, that same concern doesn't extend to himself. He feels responsible for Sukuna so he doesn't allow Yuji or anyone else to express concern for him regarding the King of Curses. He and Yuji even argued because Megumi didn't want to hassle their senpai just for his own safety. He told Yuji that line of thinking is selfish and an annoying waste of time. Megumi's desperation to protect others, especially his sister, was on full display when he needed help from Hikari and Kirara. Megumi prostrated himself and begged for help. He even used his status as the head of the Zenin clan to win Hakari over. Unlike Yuji, Megumi had zero qualms about killing other humans in the Culling Game. Megumi's sole focus was saving his sister and he immediately conflicted with anyone who stood in his way. He even threatened to kill Remi, a weak woman, for leading him into an ambush. When Reggie attempted to recruit Megumi, he felt that Reggie and Remi were wasting his time and they almost instantly came to blows.Megumi always figured Reggie and his group were always using Remi but she never realized it. When it became clear and she begged Megumi to help her, he told Remi that she was the type of trash who cares more about words than deeds. After making his first ever human kill, Megumi remained calmed and trusted in his own judgment. Confident in himself and his allies, Megumi resolved to wave away any difficulties that crossed his path on the way to rescue his sister. Megumi only put his cynicism and mistrust aside in the Culling Game when Fumihiko Takaba helped him. Fumihiko's eccentric personality reminded Megumi of Todo and he didn't laugh at his jokes, but they were still able to communicate and work together. Despite their clashing personalities, Megumi even felt comfortable asking Takaba to try and steal Hazenoki's points, viewing him as a potential ally for the future. When Sukuna forcibly took possession of Megumi's body and forced him to kill Yorozu (who incarnated into Tsumiki's body), Megumi's soul had been plunged into despair losing his reason to fight and live. So much so that he could not bring himself to accept help from Yuji when the latter accessed the barrier between his and Sukuna's soul.[29] When speaking to Yuji's soul once more and hearing his friend understand his emotions while admitting that without him he would be lonely, Megumi regained enough will to use a Shadow to hold Sukuna in place for Yuji.[30] It was thanks to these efforts that Megumi grew back the resolve to reject Sukuna's attempts at demoralizing him further, and declared that he would return to living for others sake before the King of Curses was stripped away from his soul.

Abilities

Overall Skill Level: Megumi is a grade 2 sorcerer who possesses one of the highest potentials of any student at Jujutsu High regardless of age. He inherited the prized Ten Shadows Technique of the Zenin clan and is favored by the strongest sorcerer himself. Satoru believes that Megumi could become as strong as he is and has stated he likely possesses even more skill and potential than Yuji. Mai Zenin commended him as a genius who started school ranked grade 2.[32] Noritoshi Kamo mirrored the same sentiment, claiming Megumi's age is irrelevant because of his inherited technique, and that he was even more reliable than the drunk Head of the Zenin clan. Even Sukuna took a special interest in Megumi due to his unique talents. Immense Tactical Intellect: Megumi's most reliable and imposing asset as a sorcerer is his mind. He is a young genius, a cerebral fighter whose focus in a battle is to outwit his opponent rather than overpower them. Megumi assesses all threats logically and deals with them in a strategic manner. Using his advanced deducting reasoning skills, Megumi thinks of clever ways to deal with every situation as it comes. This is regularly showcased by Megumi's consistent talent for deducing his opponent's strengths and weaknesses in the heat of battle. Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Megumi is a strong fighter who has never been afraid to get in close to hit his opponents. He's always been stronger than normal people his age, able to effortlessly beat down a human pile of bullies on his own. In one of his earliest missions, Megumi was already strong enough to destroy a curse with just the swipe of his bare hands.Megumi has a fast and graceful style of fighting that's evidence of his comfort in close combat. However, by sorcerer standards, Megumi was still weak at close range when faced with dangerous threats, especially without the help of his shikigami.[99] Sukuna was impressed by Megumi's willingness to engage in hand-to-hand combat despite being a shikigami user but the King of Curses easily overpowered Megumi even while he was supported by shikigami. Expert Weapons Specialist: Megumi was trained by Maki, the best cursed tool user at Jujutsu High, to use a variety of different weapons. He can keep cursed tools in his shadow, so Megumi is capable of swapping out multiple weapons for himself at any time. Maki began by teaching Megumi with a polearm he quickly became comfortable with, and after nearly two months of training, Megumi was able to use a pair of tonfa for the Goodwill Event. In his fight with Kamo, Megumi was able to make effective use of the tonfa, especially on the defensive, using them to block Kamo's enhanced strength until they were broken. Advanced Endurance: Megumi is especially tough for a human being, with high pain tolerance, exceptional stamina, and especially impressive durability. He's shown his toughness on numerous occasions where he was able to withstand a beating and survived the battle, sometimes even overcoming his own exhaustion to achieve victory. Megumi can survive direct attacks from even special grade cursed spirits. He suffered a beatdown at the hands of Sukuna without any major injuries.[114] Todo also overpowered Megumi in a similar fashion, but in both cases, Megumi never passed out and he continuously refused to back down.

Trivia

Enrollment method: Family lineage. His hobby is reading and he likes non-fiction. Favorite food: Food that pairs well with ginger. Least favorite food: Red bell peppers and all sweet side dishes. Cause of stress: People (almost all). When his shikigami gets destroyed, he becomes depressed. People like Fushiguro get more sad over the death of an animal than the people he doesn’t know. He watches the news and reads newspapers, but doesn’t believe half of them. Gojo and Maki taught Megumi Hand-to-Hand Combat and how to use weapons. During Megumi's first mission, Gojo watched over and teased him. Fushiguro has had friends pass away during his career as a jujutsu sorcerer. After their parents vanished, Tsumiki basically did all the housework. Megumi helped to a degree. Gojo had intervened before the little money left by Tsumiki’s mother was used up. Megumi has a strong memory. He doesn't sincerely respect Inumaki because the latter will soon join Panda and Gojo when they're playing around. He has never laughed out loud until the Death Painting Arc. Before he enrolled in Jujutsu High, he did not join missions. He observed Gojo, who acted like his supervisor, taking him out to missions on a few occasions. The tablet he uses is owned by Tokyo High. It’s handed by the accompanying assistant manager when necessary. He got acquainted with Maki and Mai before entering the school. When Gojo worked out the problem of Megumi and Zenin family, he took Megumi to Zenin clan’s house. Megumi met Ogi's daughters for the first time when they went around the house. Megumi first met Gojo when he was in 1st grade. Megumi prefers casual clothes/clothes you'd wear around the house. According to Akutami, Megumi's hairstyle tends to be erratic. Megumi's surname contains the kanji for "prone, prostrated, bend down, bow, cover, lay (pipes)" (伏 fushi?) and "black, darkness" (黒 kuro/guro?) while his first name is a Japanese feminine given name meaning "favor, benefit, blessing, grace" (めぐみ, 恵 megumi?), which is ironic considering that Megumi himself had a really rough start in life. Since Megumi is usually a Japanese name reserved for females, he absolutely abhors it because it was given to him by his father Toji Fushiguro, who didn't even remember Megumi's gender at the time. The full kanji "伏黒" in his surname fits with his Ten Shadows Technique, which usually has him in a crouching position and using shadows to avoid detection. Megumi's theme song, as chosen by Gege Akutami, is Uchujin's "Hakujitsumu" and Weezer's "Island in the Sun".
