Megumi

Several high-level jujutsu users have recognized this technique inherited from the Zenin clan as immensely powerful with limitless potential. Sukuna suggested that it easily surpasses the strength of a special-grade finger user and has been interested in Megumi since seeing her. [3][11][12][13] The Zenin clan was willing to pay a small fortune to reintroduce it into the family by buying Megumi from her father. [14]

In combat, Megumi is an exceptional case of a shikigami user who also fights hand-to-hand. Megumi can store cursed weapons and tools in his shadows to aid him,[15] primarily using his shikigami to support him. As each shikigami provides a different set of abilities, this gives Megumi access to a wide variety of skills that he can combine for use in diverse ways.[16][17][18] At the time of the Goodwill Event, Megumi was able to summon up to three shikigami at once.[19]

In addition to her support roles, Megumi allows her more offensive shikigami to fight directly alongside her. She is well aware of their abilities and knows how to combine them effectively. She used Max Elephant's water torrent against Noritoshi and then attacked with Nue's electroshock wings. [20] She also understands their weaknesses and disables them before they are completely destroyed, if possible.

Megumi often uses the dissipation of her shikigami as a way to feint an attack. Using shikigami in her ultimates is a good way to create a distraction. [21] Similarly, Megumi will conjure a shikigami and dissipate it just as quickly to confuse an enemy. [5]

Satoru Gojo revealed to Megumi that a Limitless user with the Six Eyes like himself and a Ten Shadow Technique user like the latter once clashed as heads of their respective families and killed each other. He used this to suggest that Megumi could become as powerful as him, the strongest sorcerer currently alive. [22] Megumi believes that the Zenin clan head at that time likely used an exorcism ritual to summon a shikigami so powerful it could not be controlled, such as the Divergent Divine General Sila of Eight Handles Mahoraga. This causes Megumi to hold back, believing she can always resort to sacrifice as a worst-case scenario. [23] She nearly attempted to do so against Sukuna and the second finger wielder she faced. [24][25]

However, during his battle against the Finger Wielder, Megumi remembered Satoru and Sukuna's advice to push beyond his limits. This allowed him to visualize a more powerful version of himself, giving him the confidence to use Domain Expansion instead of continuing to rely on Mahoraga's summoning.

Megumi's last resort: to force her opponent to participate in an exorcism ritual against an uncontrollable shikigami.

Although incomplete, the activation of the Chimera's Shadow Garden greatly enhanced Megumi's shadow manipulation abilities. She is able to use shadow feints to evade fatal blows and can even hide in her opponent's shadow with a shikigami while the domain is active. [26]

Gravely wounded and with no other option after being ambushed by the curse user Haruta Shigemo, Megumi decided to summon Mahoraga. No user of the Ten Shadow Technique has ever been able to exorcise him. While they cannot use a shikigami unless it is defeated in the exorcism ritual, they can still summon it at any time to attempt an exorcism. Exorcising one of the shikigami with multiple people nullifies the ritual. Normally, this would be a futile exorcism, but in this situation, Megumi used Mahoraga to also drag his opponent into the ritual, leaving himself in a state of suspended death. This ultimately allowed Sukuna to rescue him. [27]

While infiltrating the Gachinko Fight Club, Megumi began using her ability to conceal her own body in the shadows. She merged with the shadow of one of the security guards so she could eavesdrop on his conversation with Kinji Hakari. [28] To reach the roof of the fight club undetected, Megumi stealthily approached from behind two other security guards, concealing herself in their shadows. Once the guards moved into the blind spots of the security cameras, Megumi leaped from her shadow and strangled them unconscious. [8]

When Kirara Hoshi surprised him and Panda lurking nearby, Megumi used her shikigami to deduce her opponent's cursed technique. Using Rabbit Escape helped Megumi understand the marking mechanics of Kirara's Love Rendezvous. This ultimately allowed her to use Divine Dog to overpower Kirara, keeping it hidden until the final moments of their struggle, where Megumi used the same mechanics to immobilize her.

The complete version of the Ten Shadows Technique Mastery Expansion, Chimera Shadow Garden, has not yet been fully explored. Megumi achieves an incomplete version that floods the area with liquid shadows that she can freely manipulate and use to summon shikigami at will. [10] As it is an incomplete mastery, the technique is powered up to 120 percent.

The Ten Shadow Technique (Tokusa no Kage Bōjutsu) is an inherited technique passed down within the Zenin Clan. Using shadows as intermediaries, this technique allows the user to summon ten different shikigami. [1]

When someone inherits the Ten Shadow Technique, they receive two Divine Dogs. Other shikigami can be summoned through an exorcism ritual in which the user must defeat them to subdue them.

Once mastered, shikigami are under the complete control of their master and can be summoned through shadow gestures that create a shadow puppet of the corresponding familiar. The shadows act as intermediaries for the conjuration of the shikigami, reflecting the shape of the shadow puppet handwoven by the user and manifesting the shikigami from tangible liquid shadows using cursed energy. After acquiring more familiars, the user can repeat the exorcism ritual and accumulate up to ten different shikigami. [2][3]

The Ten Shadows Technique can be activated and deactivated at any time to manifest and dispel shikigami as long as the user has enough cursed energy. [5] As with any shikigami, the more powerful it is, the more cursed energy is required to summon it. [6]

The shikigami of the Ten Shadow Technique cannot be summoned again once destroyed or killed. However, the power they leave behind is inherited by others. In the case of the Divine Dog shikigami, if the white or black dog dies, its twin will inherit its power and can be summoned in a much more ferocious form. The exception to this rule applies to any shikigami summoned by combining two different shadows, such as the Unknown Abyss of the Well. [7] In addition to using shadows as intermediaries for shikigami, a user of the Ten Shadow Technique can also manipulate them to some extent. They can move physical mass in and out of shadows at will. This allows them to conceal their body within shadows, whether it is their own or someone else's. They can also expel themselves from shadows at will as an effective means of launching a surprise attack on their target. [8] This same function can be used to store objects within the user's shadow, but the user must bear the weight of what is stored there. [9]

The Unknown Abyss of the Well (Seiteishirazu?, lit. "Bottomless Well") combines the shikigami Nue and Sapo to create multiple winged toads that are weaker than the originals, but can be destroyed without consequence. [ 18 ]

Nue: Totality - Fused Beast Agito ( 「」Nue・Kon - Kangō Jū Agito ? ) 鵺 ぬえ 渾 こん 嵌合 かんごう 獣 じゅう 顎 あぎ 吐 と is an enhanced version of Nue with the powers of Great Serpent, Tiger Funeral and Round Deer. [ 1 ] It can be summoned by the Zenin Clan's Ten Shadow Technique.

Description
The Fused Beast Agito is Nue combined with Great Serpent, Tiger Funeral, and Round Deer, but it is unknown if the destruction of the other shikigami is necessary for Nue: Totality to inherit their abilities.

Agito, the Fused Beast, is a tall, muscular humanoid shikigami with a feathered mane, a mask over its face resembling Nue's, feathered arms ending in claws, black antlers protruding from its head, a feminine torso with black stripes, tiger-like feet, and a tail ending in a snake's head. It also wears black hakama pants. It is a powerful shikigami with the ability to attack, defend, and support its user. Its notable features include its ability to generate Nue's electricity and regenerate using Round Deer's reverse cursed technique.

The Piercing Ox (貫牛) is one of the shikigami of the Ten Shadow Technique of the Zenin Clan in Jujutsu Kaisen. It is characterized as a massive ox designed exclusively for destruction, capable of charging in a straight line and increasing its destructive power with the distance traveled. Power and Ability: Its impact force is immense, capable of damaging highly resistant enemies if it charges far enough.
Limitation: It only moves in a straight line, making it predictable and difficult to use against fast targets.
Use: Unlike other more versatile shikigami, the Piercing Ox is summoned for devastating frontal attacks.

Round Deer is a tall, deer-like shikigami that can generate positive energy through reverse curse techniques. This allows it to heal its user and counteract the cursed energy of its opponent.

The user summons the Round Deer using the shading technique, using the shape of a deer's head with their hands.

The Divine General of the Eight Divergent Leaves of Sila: Mahoraga (八握剣異戒神将魔虚羅 Yatsuka-no-Tsurugi Ikaishinshō Makora?), or simply Mahoraga (魔虚羅 Makora?), is the most powerful Shikigami of the Ten-Type Shadow Technique. Throughout its history, no Ten-Type Shadow user has been able to fully control it.[1]

Summary
Description
Mahoraga is a shikigami with a humanoid body, at least twice as tall as the average person. On either side of its face are long wings where its eyes would be, and a long tail behind its head. Floating above its head is a wheel with eight handles, and chains hang from its chest, in addition to the sword attached to its left arm.[1]

Unlike other shikigami of the Ten Shadow Technique, this one does not require the user to form a hand shape resembling its body.[1] Instead, its summoning simply requires the user to hold both hands closed and extended forward, one behind the other, while reciting the incantation "With this treasure, I summon you..." (布瑠部由良由良 Furube Yurayura) before stating the shikigami's full name.[2] After the ritual is performed, Mahoraga is summoned.[1] It is known as the most uncontrollable shikigami in the history of the Ten Shadow Technique. It has never been tamed or commanded like other familiars throughout the history of the Zenin Clan. However, Ten Shadow users can summon it through an exorcism ritual in an attempt to exorcise it at any time.

He possesses great strength and speed, being able to fight on equal terms with Sukuna of 15 fingers, being able to destroy pavement, concrete, or throw it through multiple buildings with a single blow.[3] He also has the ability to adapt to any phenomenon; if he is affected by a particular attack, the eight-handled wheel will spin, allowing him to adapt, as well as, if the opponent uses the same technique again, Mahoraga will counter it or be 'immune' to it.

The sword attached to his hand, known as the Sword of Extermination, is surrounded by positive cursed energy, making it very effective against cursed spirits.

Rabbit Stampede[1] or Escape Rabbits (脱兎 Datto?) is a type of rabbit-shaped shikigami, capable of being summoned through the use of the Ten Types of Shadow Technique.

Summary
Description
Rabbit Stampede is a shikigami in the form of a white-furred rabbit.[2] Unlike other shikigami of the Ten Types of Shadow Technique, there is no trace on the rabbits' fur of symbols similar to those of the Ten Sacred Treasures (十種神宝 Tokusa no Kandakara?).

The shikigami can be summoned when its user brings their hands together, forming a shape similar to a rabbit's head. When the shadow of the hands is reflected, Rabbit Stampede is summoned.[2]

After its invocation, a large number of rabbits are manifested and fulfill the main function of distracting the enemy, either to create a new opportunity for attack or for its user to escape[2].

Maximum Elephant[1] or Complete Elephant (満象 Banshō?) is a type of elephant-shaped shikigami, capable of being summoned through the use of the Ten Types of Shadow Technique.

Summary
Description
Elefante Máximo is a shikigami in the form of an elephant with black markings and symbols on its forehead, the top of its head, its back, and its knees.[2] The patterns on its body resemble the symbols of the Ten Sacred Treasures (十種神宝 Tokusa no Kandakara?).

The shikigami can be summoned when its user places their hands together, one on top of the other, and adjusts their fingers to form the shape of an elephant's head. When the shadow of the hands is projected, Maximum Elephant is summoned.[2]

It is capable of releasing a massive amount of water from its trunk. The water is launched with enough volume and pressure to flood an entire corridor and can even cause enemies to be thrown through walls by the force exerted.[2] It is also useful for crushing its user's opponents.[3] Its special ability is that the higher it falls, the more damage it will inflict.

4. Great Serpent
   Great Serpent
   The Great Serpent, as its name suggests, is a giant snake with a very important function: it's the ideal shikigami for quickly and unexpectedly ensnaring adversaries. Essentially, this reptile suddenly appears from the shadows and traps its rivals in its jaws. Unfortunately, however, it was ultimately destroyed by Sukuna.

3. Toad

   The Toads of the Ten Shadow Technique can be used in two different ways. The first is to trap enemies with their long, swift tongues, and the second is to carry wounded allies inside their mouths.

Nue is a versatile shikigami, primarily due to the advanced mobility granted by its flight ability. This ability sets it apart from Megumi's other shikigami. It can explore large areas and provide its user with any relevant information about targets. Nue functions well as a support unit and complements many of Megumi's other shikigami perfectly.

Offensively, Nue is armed with electroshock wings capable of discharging purple electricity that stuns opponents on impact. Nue's flight allows her to target Megumi's adversaries both on the ground and in the air. Noritoshi Kamo has stated that Nue doesn't function as well in confined spaces, but excels in open areas. [2] While Nue can carry Megumi short distances, she isn't strong enough to fly someone for an extended period.

Megumi attempted to summon Nue while trapped in the clutches of a giant cursed spirit in Sendai City. He tried to use Nue to free himself, but the curse threw him aside, preventing him from activating his technique. [3] At the Eishu Detention Center, Megumi used Nue to transport himself safely across large drops. This allowed Megumi to move more easily and locate Nobara, rescuing her from a curse ambush. [4]

Megumi, facing Sukuna, used Nue to attack after her opponent was immobilized by the Great Serpent. Nue circled Sukuna several times and struck him with her electroshock wings while he was trapped in the giant serpent's jaws. This proved ineffective against Sukuna, who eventually escaped and continued attacking Megumi. Nue managed to shield Megumi from being struck by Sukuna in mid-air, protecting him with her wings. However, both were knocked to the ground, and Nue quickly reached her limit. Megumi decided to return Nue before she was destroyed in the battle like the Great Serpent. [5]

During the Kyoto goodwill event, Megumi used Nue to attack Momo Nishimiya while she was levitating on her broomstick. Nue knocked her out of the air and slammed her into a tree, where she lay stunned long enough for Nobara and Panda to find her on the ground. [6][7] She used Nue against Noritoshi after Max Elephant's water pressure forced him out. Nue struck him as he fell, and its electroshock wings had an additional effect on his soaked body. However, Noritoshi's determination allowed him to muster the strength to prevent Nue from performing a follow-up attack. He entangled Nue with Crimson Binding and forced it to crash to the ground. [8]

Nue strikes Hanami with his electroshock wings while he is immobilized.

After Hanami interrupted the event, Toge immobilized him with a Cursed Speech, and Megumi used Nue to strike him. Hanami was able to withstand a diving attack from Nue, but this allowed Megumi to sever the branch near his eye. [9] Megumi assured Nue that everything would be alright once Toge immobilized Hanami again and sent him flying toward the special grade. However, Toge reached his limit at that moment and was unable to prevent Hanami from stabbing Nue through the wing. [10]

During the Shibuya incident, Nue led Yuji and Ino to the rooftop of Shibuya Tower C, where they launched a surprise attack on curse users. Yuji connected a wire to Nue, and together they were able to tie up Awasaka before throwing him off the edge of the tower. Megumi deactivated Nue as Yuji swung through a window, causing Awasaka to fall from the building. [11] Megumi summoned Nue again to catch Ino just in time after he was thrown from the tower. [12]

Nue dives towards Chizuru Hari and electrocutes him while he is defenseless in the air.

Megumi was knocked out of the sky upon entering Tokyo Colony Number 1 by an unspecified rule of the Extermination Game and was forced to use Nue to break his fall. Having become separated from Yuji in the process, Megumi attempted to use Nue to search for him, but his ally was out of reach. [13] While fighting off an ambush by Reggie Star's group, Megumi threw Chizuru Hari off the side of a building and used Nue to slam him into the ground. Hari was electrocuted by Nue's wings upon impact and was incapacitated, lying in a sizable crater in the ground. This caused Remi, who had helped orchestrate the ambush, to realize that Megumi had kept Nue out the entire time since they met. [14] While fighting Reggie one-on-one, Megumi used Nue to feign escape while actually trying to lure Reggie into an enclosed space large enough for her control. [15]

Ten-Shadow Technique (十種影法術 Tokusa no Kage Bōjutsu?) (lit. Ten-Shadow Technique) is a hereditary cursed technique among members of the Zenin Clan, with offensive/defensive attacks. It creates, summons, and manipulates shikigami, a type of cursed spirit that acts as an offensive agent for its user.

Summary
Information
Description
Only those who are part of the Zenin Clan are capable of being born with this type of ability[1].

The actual process of creating a shikigami is unknown. It is known that the user must mold their own cursed energy to form the shikigami and must have a plan in mind of how they would like their creation to look.[2] To establish a relationship with the user and submit to their control, the shikigami(s) require a certain level of purification.[3]

To make use of a shikigami, its user must make a certain hand signal to form and summon their creation without needing any kind of talisman[4].

Shikigami take on the characteristics of animals such as dogs, snakes, birds, toads, and elephants, with certain symbols or patterns on parts of their bodies that resemble the symbols of the Ten Sacred Treasures (十種神宝 Tokusa no Kandakara?). They can differ considerably in size and ability.

Megumi is usually a rather quiet, serious, and reserved young man. Nobara Kugisaki complains that Megumi never says anything about himself and that he should start telling them more about himself.[9] Despite not showing much interest in what his classmates usually do, he is always around them and often accompanies them to different places, and doesn't seem to mind the idea of ​​going for walks with them. He constantly goes along with Nobara and Itadori's ideas and jokes.[10]

Even as a child, Megumi was very stern, serious, and thoughtful, to the point where Satoru questioned whether he was actually in first grade when they met. When Satoru first explained the situation with the Zenin clan, Megumi revealed that he didn't care about his father and assumed that he and Tsumiki's mother had finished raising them. He understood that he had been sold to the Zenin clan, but only agreed to go if Tsumiki would also be happy.

Megumi had always been annoyed by Satoru's attitude ever since they met. He didn't care about the idea of ​​becoming a sorcerer and grew more tired of it over time. By the time Megumi reached high school, his impersonal attitude had become completely ingrained. He thought becoming a jujutsu sorcerer was pointless since he didn't see himself as someone who saved others. Megumi wasn't interested in making friends, but she believed that interaction was fundamental. Tsumiki wanted her to stop getting into fights, but Megumi wouldn't listen and dismissed her.

Although he appears stoic and calculating, Megumi desires to help people he considers good or kind. He believes the world is unfair and that a shaman is a tool to ensure kind people have a chance at life. He claims that this is a selfish and irrational desire, and therefore does not see himself as a hero for doing this.[11] Another side of his personality is that he is quite callous when discussing the deaths of criminals and murderers, as he believes they should not be saved.[12]

In his middle school days, Megumi's personality was quite different from what it is now. He hated kind-hearted people because he believed forgiving the wicked was ridiculous, and at the same time, he hated cruel people for lacking any empathy towards those who constantly bullied others. He was known for fighting with the bullies at his school and in his neighborhood, believing it was his punishment. However, when Tsumiki was incapacitated by a curse, his personality changed, and he now says he wants to apologize to his sister, considering himself an idiot at the time.

Megumi is a tall young man, measuring 175 centimeters[2]. His hair is dark, and he usually keeps it neatly styled and spiky when he's in class or on a mission; he lets his hair down when he rests. Gege Akutami described his hair as erratic[2]. His eyes, in the manga, are depicted as light green[5], while in the anime, they are dark blue[6].

He wears the standard uniform of the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College, which consists of a long-sleeved, dark-colored, high-necked shirt, dark brown pants, and dark brown shoes; in the anime, this same outfit is depicted in navy blue[6].

During his visit to Sugisawa Municipal Junior High School, he wore a white shirt, black dress pants, and light-colored shoes[6].

When not on missions, he wears loose black pants, a loose-fitting black long-sleeved t-shirt with a wide neck, and dark shoes[7].

Megumi Fushiguro (伏黒恵 Fushiguro Megumi?) is one of the protagonists of the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a first-year student at the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College, and classmate of Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki.

His father is Toji Fushiguro, a former member of the Zenin Clan and half-brother of Tsumiki Fushiguro. As a blood member of one of the three great clans, he was born with the innate talent to use the Ten Type Shadow Technique, and, due to an agreement made between his father and Naobito Zenin, if Megumi is deprived of Satoru Gojo's custody, Megumi would become the next head of the Zenin Clan.[4]
