He is a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, training to become a sorcerer who fights Cursed Spirits. As a descendant of the Zenin Clan, he possesses the inherited Ten Shadows Technique. At the series' start, his teacher Satoru Gojo tasks him with finding a finger of Sukuna, the most powerful Cursed Spirit, which leads to his partnership and friendship with Yuji Itadori. Appearance Megumi is a tall, slender young man with black hair styled into sharp spikes that stick out in all directions, which Kinji Hakari compares to a sea urchin. He has dark blue eyes in the anime. In middle school, he wore the uniform of Saitama Urami East High School: a brown jacket over a white shirt, black pants, and white sneakers. After enrolling in Tokyo Jujutsu High, he wears the standard uniform: a high-collared, black gakuran-style jacket with two buttons on the left side, matching black trousers, and brown shoes. Satoru Gojo notes Megumi's strong resemblance to his father, Toji Fushiguro, sharing similar facial features and the same dark blue eyes. Following the Shinjuku Showdown arc and his separation from Sukuna, Megumi gains three scars on his face that correspond to Sukuna's features: one scar under his left eye and two scars on his forehead where Sukuna's "second face" eyes were. Personality Outwardly stoic and calculating, Megumi rarely changes his neutral expression, making him appear constantly serious. This contrasts with his more boisterous classmates, Yuji and Nobara, and his teacher Gojo, who often irritate him. Yuji notes that Megumi always looks slightly angry. He is driven by a personal desire to protect people he considers good. Believing the world is unfair, he sees sorcerers as tools to give good people a better chance at life, a motivation he considers selfish rather than heroic. This belief led him to save Yuji from immediate execution without regret. Conversely, he is callous about the deaths of criminals, feeling they don't deserve to be saved. While stubborn, Megumi is observant and can be influenced by others, gradually changing due to his bond with Yuji and his sister Tsumiki. He makes accurate judgments about people's personalities quickly. He is private and distrustful, which frustrates Nobara. Lacking competitiveness, he feels insecure about his strength, especially compared to Yuji's rapid growth. This insecurity pushed him to train with Gojo, who helped him realize his thinking held him back. By embracing a more selfish and ambitious mindset, Megumi achieved his Domain Expansion for the first time. As a child, he was stern and thoughtful. Having been abandoned, he believed he and Tsumiki had been left behind and was only willing to cooperate with the Zenin clan if his half-sister's safety was guaranteed. He treasures Tsumiki above all, considering her a life partner, and her voice has even stopped him from killing an opponent. He was determined to end the Culling Games quickly to protect her. Strength and Abilities Megumi entered Jujutsu High as a Grade 2 sorcerer. Sorcerers like Noritoshi Kamo and Sukuna recognize his immense potential, with the latter noting Megumi's preference for close-quarters combat—unusual for a shikigami user—which hides his true abilities. He combines physical attacks with his summoned shikigami, utilizing his analytical skills and tactical thinking to outsmart opponents. He is a valuable team player, using his Ten Shadows Technique to summon various shikigami like Divine Dogs (for tracking) and Nue (for aerial attacks) to aid his entire squad. Satoru Gojo believes Megumi's potential surpasses even Yuji's. · Physical Abilities: While not as strong as Yuji, he has excellent control over his body and is a capable close-range fighter, able to defeat multiple bullies or break a low-level curse with a single punch. However, by sorcerer standards, he was initially weak without his shikigami, as Sukuna easily overpowered him in hand-to-hand combat. · Speed and Reflexes: Slightly slower than Yuji, but still far above average, able to react quickly and summon shikigami at the right moment. · Intelligence: A skilled tactical planner who effectively combines shikigami with physical attacks. · Durability: Exceptionally durable with a high pain tolerance. He has survived direct attacks from special-grade Cursed Spirits and a beating from Sukuna without losing consciousness or retreating.
