As a longtime fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement as I watch the story unfold. The anticipation is palpable, and it seems that our beloved character, Megumi Fushiguro, is about to make his grand return.

This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 265.

In the final stages of an awe-inspiring battle within the series, the Ruler of Curses, Sukuna, is engaging one sorcerer after another. Spectators have witnessed the confrontation between Gojo earlier, followed by numerous others who attempted to thwart his wicked schemes. However, it’s ultimately the lead character, Yuji Itadori, who will be responsible for vanquishing Sukuna and bringing a permanent end to his reign of terror.

In light of recent events in “Jujutsu Kaisen”, it’s almost certain that Megumi will be back sooner rather than later, and this reunion seems to be orchestrated by Yuji Itadori himself. Over the past few months, Yuji has undergone numerous power-ups, culminating in his mastery of domain expansion – a highly potent ability recognized as the pinnacle of Jujutsu Sorcery. Now, it appears that Sukuna is finally recognizing Yuji’s capabilities, which could very well lead to Megumi’s return.

In chapter 264 of JJK, the events were crucial in establishing the setting for the climactic battle of the series. Readers have long anticipated Yuji’s confrontation with Sukuna, and the stage for this encounter has now been prepared. For the first time in JJK chapter 264, Yuji utilized his domain expansion, a significant turning point in this fight. Those curious about how Yuji suddenly gained access to domain expansion should look back at Yuji’s performance during the Shinjuku Showdown Arc. Gradually, he has been growing stronger in this arc, and Yuji has proven himself formidable against the King of Curses. Beyond awakening abilities such as the Reverse Cursed Technique, he has also acquired two unique cursed techniques: Blood Manipulation and the Shrine technique.

Domain Expansion! – Yuji Itadori

In his newfound ability to control blood, Yuji gained the capacity to use Convergence and Piercing Blood. Simultaneously, the activation of his Shrine technique granted him access to Cleave and Dismantle, much like Sukuna, albeit with a unique approach distinct from Sukuna’s. Fans are aware that Yuji acquired a basic domain by switching with Kusakabe, and he has already employed this skill in the fight against Sukuna. These combined powers enable Yuji to expand his domain, a potential long in development. With time, he honed this talent, and now he’s ready to confront Sukuna at his full might.

In the upcoming battle, Yuji Itadori will confront Sukuna within his unique realm. At the closing moments of the last chapter, viewers caught a glimpse of both characters within this domain. Readers didn’t witness the actual domain but what appeared to be a train station setting instead. It’s plausible that this could indeed be Yuji’s domain rather than a mental construct originating from Sukuna. As was evident in the previous scene, Yuji was present at the train station, and so was Sukuna, but this time he had taken over Yuji’s body instead of Megumi’s. The specifics of what Yuji plans to do here remain unknown, but spectators should brace themselves for a showdown between Yuji and Sukuna in the near future.

Release Fushiguro and return to my body, and I’ll spare you, Sukuna! – Yuji

In this scenario, it’s highly likely that Yuji will draw upon all his abilities during the confrontation with Sukuna within his domain. Since this is his territory, it seems he has a strong advantage and might be the one to vanquish the King of Curses. The time has come for Sukuna to succumb, and given his status as a formidable opponent, this imminent face-off could stretch over several chapters. However, ultimately, Sukuna is expected to lose in this one-on-one battle.

Eventually, Yuji will gain control in the battle and strike Sukuna with a potent, yet-to-be-revealed Sure-Hit attack. This attack may be unseen at present, but it’s clear that Yuji possesses the ability to manipulate souls. Whatever technique he chooses to use against the King of Curses – whether it’s Cleave, Dismantle, or any other move within his repertoire – will likely signal the demise of Sukuna residing in Megumi’s body.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at the possibility that, even if Sukuna isn’t completely vanquished with this technique, he might be forcefully extracted from Megumi’s body. This could potentially pave the way for Megumi’s immediate rescue! The anticipation for what comes next in this battle is electrifying, and as a fan, I am on the edge of my seat, eagerly waiting for the unexpected twists and turns that lie ahead.

Megumi’s Return At The End Of The Shinjuku Showdown Arc

In light of recent events in the manga ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’, it’s evident that Megumi is on the verge of regaining consciousness. All fans need to do is be patient until Yuji completes his technique and delivers a decisive blow to Sukuna, which he won’t be able to withstand. A standard Dismantle attack aimed at the space between Megumi and Sukuna’s souls in chapter 264 was enough for Sukuna to display three fingers, suggesting that a more powerful strike would likely cause him to lose control over Megumi’s body. Once this happens, Megumi will awaken, marking the start of the final phase of the battle. The outcome could go one of two ways: either Yuji finishes off Sukuna, allowing him to peacefully pass on, or Sukuna triggers the merger beforehand and transforms into an extraordinary monster.

If it turns out to be the first scenario, I’m excited because JJK (Jujutsu Kaisen) will wrap up Shinjuku Showdown, meaning we’re one step closer to the series finale within the next month or two. But if the second possibility arises, I can hardly contain my excitement as fans are in store for another epic showdown with Sukuna, this time with Megumi joining forces with all sorcerers! Regardless of the author’s choice, it seems that Megumi will undeniably make a comeback in the story, and I can barely wait to see his return!

Fans have deeply felt the absence of his character in “Jujutsu Kaisen,” and it seems logical that he should receive some focus before the manga concludes, given his vast untapped potential and dedicated fanbase. Ideally, Megumi will reappear sooner rather than later for the plot to be coherent, and we can only hope that the story provides him a fitting resolution in the end.
