Sukuna’s Manipulation of Megumi’s Body in JJK

- Sukuna transitioned from Yuji’s body to Megumi’s
- Sukuna remained in Megumi’s body until the story’s conclusion
The transition of Sukuna into Megumi’s body took fans by surprise due to its unexpected nature. Prior hints suggested a possible involvement of Sukuna with Megumi, primarily from the ominous scene where he spared him. The foundation for this takeover was laid during Yuji’s death, when Sukuna offered him a chance at life, contingent on some dark terms that Yuji reluctantly accepted. Thus, when the pivotal moment arrived, the audience witnessed Yuji’s liberation and Megumi’s subjugation to Sukuna’s will.
“He’s resisting my influence.” — Sukuna
The Culling Game arc saw the pivotal moment when Sukuna uttered the words “Enchain, ” allowing him to occupy Megumi’s body seamlessly, marking a turning point for both characters. While Yuji found a temporary reprieve, Megumi soon discovered the overwhelming strength of Sukuna. The situation deteriorated further when Sukuna consumed remaining cursed fingers, thereby augmenting his power levels astoundingly and positioning himself above all save for the legendary Satoru Gojo.

Fortunately, Gojo’s timely return led to an epic showdown, much awaited by fans. The ensuing confrontation between Gojo and Sukuna highlighted the potent usage of Megumi’s abilities to their fullest extent. This intensification served not only to amplify Sukuna’s powers but also inadvertently contributed to Megumi’s growth.

Yuji’s experiences with Sukuna led to significant improvements in combat, showcasing how much a fighter can grow from such an amalgamation of powers. Similarly, it is reasonable to posit that Megumi’s experiences under Sukuna’s influence could yield unprecedented advancements in his combat skills. Sukuna’s adept use of Megumi’s abilities hints that Megumi will gain improved mastery over techniques, particularly the formidable Reverse Cursed Technique.
Moreover, Sukuna’s exceptional use of the Ten Shadows Technique via Megumi’s body allowed for groundbreaking applications, paving the way for Megumi to inherit a deeper understanding of these powers. This includes the impressive bound created with fusion beasts such as Agito. With Megumi’s instinctive memory of Sukuna’s maneuvers, he is now poised to access a range of techniques that can define his strength moving forward.

A Future Among the Strongest Sorcerers

A mature Megumi, bearing a full suite of powers including an enhanced Mahoraga and Domain Amplification, could emerge as a nearly indomitable sorcerer. If he were to achieve mastery over constructs like the Chimera Shadow Garden, he could rival Yuji and Yuta, potentially eclipsing even them. The challenges Megumi has faced through his experience with Sukuna will undoubtedly contribute to his ascension within the sorcerer hierarchy.
