Megumi Fushiguro

Special Grade Special Grade is a rank reserved for anomalies within the jujutsu community, sorcerers with such immense strength that their destructive potential is immeasurable, making them very exclusive and unique cases, hence the title "special". As a testament to its rarity, in 2018, there were only four registered sorcerers with the Special Grade rank. Sukuna, a powerful curse user from the Heian Era, is recognized as the King of Curses, with his fingers and himself being collectively categorized as Special Grade. Satoru Gojo Suguru Geto Ryomen Sukuna Yuki Tsukumo Yuta Okkotsu

Grade Registry. Known Grades Grade 4 Grade 4 is a rank meant for weak and inexperienced sorcerers. Maki is the only known sorcerer with this grade, but this is only due to the Zenin Clan holding her back from promotion rather than a lack of skill.

Grade 3 Grade 3 is an average rank for jujutsu sorcerers to have, especially students. students: Nobara Kugisaki Mai Zenin

Semi-Grade 2 Little is known about the purpose of this intermediate rank: Panda

Grade 2 Grade 2 is an above-average level for a sorcerer. Most great sorcerers are between Grades 1 and 2, so they are not by any means weak. It is exceptional for a student to be Grade 2, a status which allows them to take on solo assignments. A student receiving a Grade 2 rank upon enrolling is considered to be a genius. Takuma Ino Megumi Fushiguro

Semi-Grade 1 Semi-Grade 1 is a rank for sorcerers who have completed their accompanied missions following their recommendation for Grade 1 with satisfactory results. Toge Inumaki Noritoshi Kamo Kokichi Muta Utahime Iori

Grade 1 Grade 1 sorcerers are the ones who uphold the standards of what a sorcerer should strive to be and are the ones fit to lead society. It is the highest status a sorcerer can hope to achieve through the natural progression of ranks, as Special Grade is something of a misrepresentation. The level of danger on missions, the amount of confidentiality entrusted to them, and the compensation are far greater than Semi-Grade 1 and below.

Special Grade 1 Special Grade 1 is a rank that refers to sorcerers unaffiliated with Jujutsu High who are considered to be equivalent to a Grade 1 sorcerer. Elite members of the Zenin Clan carry this rank. Naobito Zenin Naoya Zenin Jinichi Zenin Ogi Zenin

Ranks. Following rankings are used to classify jujutsu sorcerers, cursed spirits, cursed tools and cursed objects in general:

Grade 4 (四よん級きゅう, Yonkyū?) Grade 3 (三さん級きゅう, Sankyū?) Semi-Grade 2 (準じゅん二に級きゅう, Jun Nikyū?) Grade 2 (二に級きゅう, Nikyū?) Semi-Grade 1 (準じゅん一いっ級きゅう, Jun Ikkyū?) Grade 1 (一いっ級きゅう, Ikkyū?) Special Grade 1 (特とく別べつ一いっ級きゅう, Tokubetsu Ikkyū?) Special Grade (特とっ級きゅう, Tokkyū?)

If traditional weapons were used against curses and sorcerers measured their effectiveness as a gauge:

Grade 4 - "A wooden bat is enough." Grade 3 - "If you have a handgun, you can rest easy." Grade 2 - "Close call with a shotgun." Grade 1 - "Even a tank might be insufficient." Special Grade - "Cluster bombs might work."

Promotions. Jujutsu sorcerers can be promoted up in rank by receiving a recommendation from a sorcerer of a higher rank. The higher the rank, the more a sorcerer is paid for the more dangerous jobs that come with it. When it comes to students, their teachers are not permitted to submit a recommendation for their promotion.

A sorcerer submits a request for promotion based on their recommendation to one of the jujutsu higher-ups, such as Kyoto Jujutsu High Principal Yoshinobu Gakuganji. When it comes to being promoted to grade 1, upon receiving recommendations from two or more sorcerers of that rank, the nominee will accompany a sorcerer of that level on several missions. The one who accompanies the nominee can't be the same person who put in the recommendation. If they perform well on these missions, the nominee will be granted a semi-grade 1 rank and be assigned a mission to exorcise a grade 1 alone. Based on the outcome of that, the decision to permit or deny grade 1 status will be decided.

As explained by Kenjaku in his fight against Choso in the Tombs of the Star, a special grade sorcerer is someone capable of wiping out a nation singlehandedly.

A Grade (級きゅう, Kyū?) refers to the power-scaling system that ranks jujutsu ranging from grades one to four, and special grade. It is used to categorize the strength of jujutsu sorcerers, cursed spirits, cursed objects, and cursed tools. Jujutsu High assigns their sorcerer's grades to assess their skill level ascending from grade 4 to grade 1. Students generally start at grade 4 upon joining the school, but this depends on experience. Cursed spirits are ranked on a similar scale but not exact. The higher-ups can be particular when it comes to ranking cursed spirits. The distinct difference between a grade 2 and a semi-grade 1 curse is whether or not it is capable of using cursed techniques. Jujutsu sorcerers are expected to take on missions involving curses of the same level. A grade 2 sorcerer should be able to defeat a grade 2 curse because their skill level is closer to the strength of a grade 1 curse.

Cursed tools are also categorized from grades 1 to 4 based on power and potency. The higher the grade, the greater advantage they provide in battle. All special grade cursed tools except for Playful Cloud are imbued with a cursed technique. Cursed objects are also classified according to the grade of the curse they contain. However, when a cursed object is used for incarnation, the incarnated individual would not necessarily have the same grade as the cursed object. For example, despite the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings being special grade cursed objects, Choso, Eso and Kechizu are not ranked as special grade.

The culmination of all Megumi's mental abilities was on display when he was pushed to his limit fighting Reggie Star. Compared to Love Rendezvous, Reggie's Contractual Re-Creation was much more straightforward and easy for Megumi to figure out. Figuring water was a natural countermeasure to Reggie's receipts, Megumi's initial strategy was to distract Reggie with other shikigami to give Max Elephant an opening to douse Reggie. However, Reggie was a cerebral fighter as well and had more experience. Reggie caught Megumi in a few verbal traps with his deceptions, so Megumi decided he needed to do the same. The key to victory for Megumi was to deceive his far more deceitful enemy by thinking several steps ahead of him. Megumi led Reggie to underestimate him by playing into the notion that he didn't have any big moves. Then he trapped Reggie inside his domain by using a gymnasium to enclose the incomplete barrier and completely took him by surprise.[92] However, Reggie was crafty and turned the conditions of the domain against Megumi, forcing him to carry tons of weight. Megumi countered by making clever use of the shadows of the domain above Reggie to drop the heavy shikigami right on top him while dousing him in water at the same time. Additionally, Megumi led Reggie to believe that Divine Dog was destroyed and couldn't be resummoned in their fight. Then Megumi used Chimera Shadow Garden and dropped Reggie into a pool of water, two potential fight-ending moves. Reggie survived both, leading him to believe Megumi was desperate and out of trump cards. Unafraid of Megumi's other shikigami, Reggie thought Megumi's only deception was engaging in a taijutsu fight while fully intending to summon something other than Divine Dog. The true deception was that Megumi could summon Divine Dog all along, allowing it to take Reggie by surprise and deal the fight-ending blow.

One of Megumi's most reliable skills is his ability to focus on deducing opposing cursed techniques while fighting them. As he did with Inverse, Megumi was able to understand and accurately theorize about Kirara Hoshi's Love Rendezvous as well. Kirara's technique is a very technical ability that's far more difficult to understand than Inverse. By collecting information as the fight began, Megumi noticed that Kirara could repel anything that approached them and they could make things attract to one another. He began working on his theory by testing what could and couldn't approach Kirara, summoning numerous rabbits to cover the battlefield. Using Rabbit Escape helped Megumi physically see what areas around them could cover and he used his astute memory to take it in quickly. Working from there, Megumi discovered Kirara's technique marked him and all his shikigami. The markings led him to theorize the technique was based on a constellation. Thanks to his experience stargazing with Tsumiki, Megumi accurately guessed that Love Rendezvous was based on the Southern Cross constellation. Megumi wasn't sure, but by stating it with confidence, he tricked Kirara into confirming it with their reaction. Their surprised facial expression confirmed Megumi's theory and Kirara expected him to figure out their technique at that point. Even while under more pressure from Kirara, not only did Megumi fill the conditions to approach them, but he deluded Kirara into believing all his shikigami had been dispelled. In actuality, Megumi jammed Divine Dog against a wall so it wouldn't be attracted to him and maneuvered his body so that it would only be free once Kirara was between them. Once Megumi let Divine Dog loose, Kirara's technique attracted the shikigami right to them. Megumi not only deduced the complex technique but he even used its functions to defeat its user.

Megumi's advanced understanding of jujutsu enabled him to effectively counter Dagon's Horizon of the Captivating Skhanda to rescue his allies from sure defeat. He was aware that using a domain, even an incomplete one, inside another domain would nullify its user's sure-hit effect. He also understood that his domain would never overtake his opponent's and decided to focus on creating a hole in the barrier instead. By deluding Dagon into believing he was engaging in a domain tug-of-war, Megumi bought himself enough time to create the escape hole for his team. Faced with an opponent he couldn't physically hope to defeat, Megumi had to rely on his analytical skills. He accurately assessed Toji's monstrous threat and planned accordingly. He was aware he couldn't run from Toji forever and decided to deliberately allow himself to be hit. He focused on redirecting Toji's attack to a non-vital area on his body and achieved this by narrowing the options for his opponent's approach. Megumi gauded Toji into attacking him straight-on and then compromised his footing on the approach using his shadow. Megumi's clever thinking allowed him to contain his injury to something that could be healed later and it allowed him to get ahold of his much faster opponent.

Megumi also possesses adept analytical skills. This helped him navigate the mystery of the Yasohachi Bridge related deaths. He collected information with his team and tried out several different hypotheses until they eventually located the curse's barrier. When faced with the curse itself, Megumi understood logically that it was pointless to think about its behavior too much. However, upon seeing a Finger Bearer emerge, Megumi pondered it just enough to figure out Sukuna's influence was the catalyst for the deaths. Megumi's intellectual skills are what empowered him to survive Shibuya. He figured out the mechanics of Awasaka's Inverse technique despite its precise mechanics not being apparent at first glance. It initially appeared as if Awasaka could nullify damage, but Megumi knew that technique would be too powerful and used a bluff to get a gauge for his strength. He got Awasaka to admit he couldn't defeat Gojo and this helped Megumi narrow down his theories. He figured that something like Inverse would be difficult to use on complex techniques like the Limitless. Not only did Megumi eventually deduce the exact details of Inverse, but its upper and lower limits as well. Once he figured that out, Megumi utilized a simple strategy where he and Yuji combined weak and strong blows. This was an effective countermeasure that best utilized their teamwork and it brought down Awasaka quickly.

Megumi's jujutsu knowledge extends to reading the behavior of fellow sorcerers. Megumi figured out the Kyoto Team's objective during the Goodwill Event by tracking their movements. Fully aware of how sorcerers tend to view Sukuna's vessel, Megumi quickly realized the Kyoto Team was trying to assassinate his ally. As a former associate of one of the Big Three Families, Megumi had prior knowledge of Blood Manipulation before he fought with Kamo. Quickly after witnessing Flowing Red Scale in action, Megumi noticed his opponent was essentially doping. In order to deal with Kamo's boost in speed, Megumi took a tactical approach. He used a Toad on its last legs to distract Kamo and then took advantage of the time gained from this to summon Max Elephant. By using Max Elephant to flood the area with water, Kamo's physical advantage was nullified and he was forced outside into an open space where Nue could capitalize. Megumi generally looks for an opponent's shortcomings to exploit after he's ascertained their abilities. He was able to find the weak point in Hanami's hard shell after noticing that it was invulnerable to all attacks except for Kamo's Piercing Blood on its eye branches. Megumi considered the possibility Kamo was holding back his strength in their own duel, but he confirmed Hanami's weakness by attacking the eye branches himself. He was unable to use this information to bring down Hanami, but he knew it was important to pass it down to his allies that would encounter the special grade curse later.

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. Megumi possesses a wealth of knowledge about jujutsu and an expert-level understanding of it, equal to that of full-fledged sorcerers. As a student, Megumi lacks an excess of battle experience but he makes up for the difference with his tactical mindset. His fundamental understanding of sorcery enables him to take the lead on missions, or even go out on his own without much guidance. Megumi was able to give a solid explanation of the basics of curses to Yuji, someone totally uninitiated. In the detention center, Megumi was the only one of Gojo's students who could recognize a domain and assess its threat level while also taking into account its incompletion.

Megumi's shikigami helped him deduce Reggie's technique and he used several deceptions to outsmart Reggie, something Reggie himself specialized at. Megumi proved to be more clever and was able to think several steps ahead of Reggie. He led Reggie into a mental trap where he was thoroughly convinced Megumi couldn't deal a finishing blow. Reggie was severely mistaken and Megumi used this to surprise attack Reggie with Divine Dog after using several near-fight-ending strategies as mere diversions. In spite of his depleted stamina and all the other disadvantages he was faced with, Megumi was able to use all of his accumulated experience to definitively defeat Reggie.

The culmination of Megumi's developments as a combatant was heavily showcased in the Culling Game, a deadly battle royale between sorcerers. He contended with enemy sorcerers in the Tokyo No. 1 Colony after it had already reached a deadlocked point where only some of the strongest players remained. Overpowering Remi was easy for Megumi and he was even able to survive the four-on-one ambush she led him into. Not only did Megumi survive an onslaught of explosions from Reggie Star and Iori Hazenoki, but he eliminated Chizuru Hari, a player with twenty-eight points in the process. Megumi easily overpowered Hari on two separate occasions using a combination of jujutsu and taijutsu. In the second confrontation, Megumi took Hari's life before the latter could even use his cursed technique. By cooperating with Fumihiko Takaba, Megumi was able to execute a plan to separate Reggie from Hazenoki. Megumi was severely worn down from the ambush but he was eventually able to get Reggie one-on-one and fight on even terms with the incarnated sorcerer. Reggie was a very tough opponent for Megumi, he had more experience as a sorcerer from the past and he possessed an analytical mind that could match Megumi's. Not only that, but Reggie was in peak physical condition compared to his tattered opponent. Despite all Reggie's advantages, Megumi used everything in his arsenal to match him every step of the way, forcing Reggie to recognize his strength.

Megumi remained calm and focused, allowing him to stall for time with every move he made. He rationally accepted that he couldn't escape the fight without an injury, so he accounted for Shoko's presence and decided to try and only suffer an injury he could manage. Without anyone else to watch his back, Megumi was exhausted and susceptible to a surprise attack after consecutive fights. Haruta Shigemo slashed him across the back and heavily injured Megumi. Even on his last legs, Megumi was able to keep his opponent at bay and come up with a plan, something Shigemo commended him for. Rather than allow himself to bleed out or get killed, Megumi decided to summon the unstoppable Mahoraga to attack both of them. Interested in the young sorcerer, Sukuna rescued Megumi from Mahoraga, proving that his decision not to give up was the correct one. His injuries left Megumi inactive for the rest of the Shibuya Incident, but his value was heavily showcased. Megumi was able to save his allies on numerous occasions and he helped defeat several key adversaries before he was incapacitated. Motivated by the goal of rescuing Tsumiki from the Culling Game, Megumi continued to advance the applications of his cursed technique, which he displayed while skillfully infiltrating the Gachinko Fight Club. He gathered information on Hakari's hideout and put himself and Yuji in positions to complete their task of recruiting him without drawing too much suspicion. When he and Panda were compromised by Kirara Hoshi, a third-year Jujutsu High student, Megumi acted quickly so that they didn't derail the mission. Kirara's technique is particularly complex and most people can't even begin to understand how it functions, but Megumi was able to completely deduce the workings of Love Rendezvous. Not only that, but he was able to outsmart Kirara using their own technique and restrained them so he could appeal to them as an ally rather than an enemy.

As the operation to rescue Gojo began, Megumi teamed up with Yuji and Ino to take down barriers preventing sorcerers from reaching Shibuya Station. Megumi's Nue allowed Yuji and Ino to mount an assault on Shibuya C Tower where the barrier originated and they drew the curse user's guarding the curtain into a battle. While Megumi initially struggled to find a rhythm fighting in tandem with Yuji, they were able to work it out and defeat Jiro Awasaka, a heavily experienced curse user. Megumi deduced exactly how Awasaka's innate technique worked and created an effective plan that completely defeated the curse user. Ino was heavily injured in his fight, but Megumi was able to rescue him from falling from the tower using Nue and then took him to Shoko to be healed. It was thanks to Megumi's efforts and the versatility of his shikigami that the curtain was taken down and Ino was rescued. Megumi re-entered the incident and immediately saved the life of Maki, Naobito, and Nanami from the sure-hit of Dagon's domain expansion. He entered Dagon's domain willingly and created a physical hole inside the barrier so his allies could escape. His interference halted Dagon's relentless assault with Death Swarm, which would have surely killed all the sorcerers. While everything didn't go quite as planned, Megumi's intervention saved the lives of his comrades. He accidentally let in a reanimated Toji Zenin, who easily defeated Dagon for them. Then Toji isolated Megumi from the rest of the team and the latter immediately realized the amount of danger he was in. However, he was able to survive against the same monstrous physical prowess that overpowered Ino and Dagon.

Megumi fought on equal ground with Noritoshi Kamo during the Goodwill Event. Kamo is also someone who inherited a cursed technique passed down in the Big Three Sorcerer Families and is two years Megumi's senior. Motivated to protect Yuji from Kamo's traditionalist ideals, Megumi pushed his opponent to the limit and could've come out victorious if not for Hanami's sudden invasion of the event. In their joint struggle against Hanami, Megumi was able to deduce Hanami's weakness while fighting alongside Kamo and Inumaki. He did his best to exploit Hanami's weaknesses and hold off the special grade while teaming up with Maki. They were unable to defeat Hanami but the duo did hold the special grade off long enough for reinforcements to arrive. In addition, Megumi's deductions proved invaluable for his allies in their fights against Hanami. As Megumi's physical skills continued to grow, the only thing holding him back from his true potential was his own mental restraints, as noted by his sensei. Once Megumi stopped relying on his last resort and let his imagination flow freely, he achieved greater growth in his abilities than ever before. Megumi unleashed Domain Expansion and like Sukuna believed he could, he defeated a special grade Finger Bearer with nothing but his own strength. Megumi works well in a group and has always proven to be a valuable asset. His technique allows him to summon a variety of different aids to not only him, but his entire squad. For example, his Divine Dogs allows for easier tracking and Nue provides an option for attacking targets in the air. His value as a squad member was showcased a great deal in not only the Goodwill Event but the dire Shibuya Incident as well. Megumi had to work together with other sorcerers to survive the perilous battles in Shibuya. He was originally assigned to the Nanami Team where he had just as much of an understanding of the situation as Takuma Ino, who is significantly more experienced.

During the evacuation of the Eishu Detention Center, Megumi quickly recognized they had been caught in an unfavorable situation when they stepped into an incomplete domain. Even so, his rational line of thinking led him to use his shikigami to navigate the facility while leading his allies through it. Megumi's composure was shaken upon being faced with a special grade curse, but he was able to regain focus and switch his priority to rescuing Nobara. Using his arsenal of shikigami, Megumi was able to track Nobara down and save her. He proved to be the connective crux of this mission, also able to give Yuji the signal to let out Sukuna in order to exorcise the special grade. Megumi and Yuji's plan, however, did backfire and Sukuna was given temporary free rein over Yuji's body, leading to a fight between him and Megumi. While clearly outclassed, Megumi figured he could force Sukuna to repair Yuji's heart if he dragged out the fight long enough. Megumi and his shikigami were not powerful enough at this point to accomplish his goal, and Megumi's Great Serpent was destroyed as a result. While not fully successful, Sukuna was impressed by Megumi's power and even implied that he could've defeated the other special grade instead of fleeing. This incident made Megumi realize what areas of his skill set he needed to improve on in order to become a stronger fighter. He and Nobara trained with Maki to increase their capabilities in armed and unarmed close combat. It was at this time Megumi realized he could use his cursed technique in more inventive ways, such as storing weapons inside it so he can keep his hands free for summoning shikigami. Megumi couldn't hope to stand up to Aoi Todo in their scuffle, but he undoubtedly increased his combat skills prior to the Goodwill Event.

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. Gojo 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. 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. Megumi is an exceptionally focused person and a highly disciplined combatant. He excels at keeping his cool in even the direst situations. Of all Gojo's students, Megumi is the most level-headed and clever in his approach to every fight. This has translated into an expert degree of understanding when it comes to jujutsu and how to practically apply his own skills. By the time he met Yuji, Megumi was already capable of summoning several different shikigami and he had a solid grasp on the Ten Shadows Technique. When Gojo left Megumi without much direction in his assignment to track down Sukuna's finger at Yuji's school, he was still able to navigate the mission on his own. Megumi was able to nearly secure Sukuna's finger without issue, but Yuji and his friends accidentally complicated the mission and led to Megumi getting caught off guard by a giant cursed spirit that nearly incapacitated him.

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. In a life or death encounter, instead of using blunt weapons, Megumi will generally arm himself with one handed-swords that are lightweight and easy to store if he needs to free up his hands to summon shikigami. He wielded his signature black blade with great speed and efficiency, able to land two blows on Hanami with it. He also hit Hanami with Playful Cloud after swapping weapons with Maki mid-fight, displaying Megumi's advanced weapon dexterity. Using his black blade, Megumi also destroyed numerous heads of the Yasohachi Bridge curse in quick succession with great speed and skill. Megumi's current weapon of choice is another one-handed blade he still incorporates while fighting at close range. He fights gracefully and in a crude manner depending on the situation, making use of both the double-edged blade and the back of the handle to injure his opponents. In combination with a barrage of Yuji's punches, Megumi pummeled Awasaka with the blunt side of his sword. Megumi eliminated Chizuru Hari from the Culling Game by smashing his face with the circular-shaped hilt of the sword before killing Hari with a brutal slash to the head. Up against Reggie, who was the superior taijutsu specialist, Megumi continued to use his swordplay to supplement his close combat skills throughout their entire fight.

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. 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. Maki trained Megumi to be more reliable in close combat but he prefers to supplement himself with weaponry rather than fight unarmed. Megumi only truly excels at hand-to-hand combat while his domain boosts his cursed energy reinforcement. When his sword was broken by the Finger Bearer, Megumi rapidly summoned shikigami alongside his taijutsu to overpower the special grade. The same occurred when Megumi used shadow clones in the domain to barrage Reggie with combinations of punches, flying kicks, and elbows.

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. Todo also overpowered Megumi in a similar fashion, but in both cases, Megumi never passed out and he continuously refused to back down. Hanami struck Megumi with a cursed bud that drained his cursed energy and injured his gut, but Megumi remained standing and was willing to continue fighting. In his fight with the Finger Bearer, Megumi suffered serious head trauma and was knocked unconscious only for a few moments. Despite the severity of his injuries and his depleted stamina, Megumi pushed himself to the limit and exorcised the curse, although he passed out right after. When he allowed himself to be stabbed by Toji, Megumi barely winced from the pain despite his abdomen getting punctured. When he was grievously injured by Shigemo, Megumi still managed to muster up enough strength to summon Mahoraga before he bled out. In the Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Megumi was hit by several explosions and was in rough shape after getting ambushed by Reggie and Hazenoki. Megumi fought through his exhaustion and was able to ignore his injuries long enough to defeat Reggie, who was entirely refreshed with full stamina at the start of their fight.

Cursed Energy Capacity: While not on the level of a special grade, Megumi has a very high volume of cursed energy. He's constantly summoning shikigami while also reinforcing his body with cursed energy in battle. Megumi displayed immense reserves of cursed energy in numerous drawn-out battles while rarely fully exhausting himself. He can summon up to three shikigami at the same time and uses multiple summonings in every fight. Megumi's cursed energy was running low against Sukuna after using several shikigami in the detention center and in their fight, but he was still capable of summoning Mahoraga if need be. Like the detention center incident, Megumi used a high volume of shikigami during the Goodwill Event and still didn't fully exhaust himself by the end of his fight with Hanami. A testament to Megumi's overall cursed energy is his ability to conjure a domain, which requires a massive amount of it. In Shibuya, Megumi used shikigami before and even after casting his domain without expending himself completely. A similar feat was achieved against Reggie, where Megumi used Max Elephant alongside other shikigami. He usually uses Max Elephant alone because it consumes a lot of cursed energy, but he still had enough to cast his domain afterward. Even after dispelling his domain, Megumi could still summon Divine Dog: Totality with the last of his cursed energy.

Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden: A domain that floods the area with fluid shadows that can rapidly produce any shikigami Megumi desires. Megumi's domain is incomplete and doesn't have a sure-hit function, but the Ten Shadows Technique is improved to 120% of its potential.[125] This allows Megumi to produce clones of himself from the shadows as well as shikigami. Megumi is unable to produce a barrier around the domain and must overlap an indoor space to forcibly enclose his domain to trap his target inside. While still incomplete, Chimera Shadow Garden floods the area with thick fluid shadows. This grants the user the ability to manifest multiple shikigami, as well as advanced manipulation of all available shadows. With an enclosed barrier, Chimera Shadow Garden traps the target inside the user's shadow, recoloring the entire space into a negative palette. It also conjures a large object that resembles two columns of a spinal bone with bow-shaped ropes tied and roots attached to it. This disappears soon after the initial casting of the domain.

Anyone standing in the shadow will have to reinforce their feet with cursed energy or risk falling into the abyss. Within the liquid-like shadows, there is no buoyancy, resistance, or oxygen. Anyone who has dropped into it will fall indefinitely.

Cursed Tools: Megumi's go-to cursed tool was originally a single-edged sword with a jet-black blade. It was lightweight and easy to conceal in Megumi's shadow. He first used it against Hanami, who commented that it was a stronger and more durable weapon than Kasumi Miwa's katana. Megumi used it again to exorcise the Yasohachi Bridge curse but it was shattered in the subsequent battle against a Finger Bearer.

Playful Cloud (游ゆう雲うん, Yū-un): A special grade cursed tool that embodies pure, solid power. Megumi kept it in his shadow on Maki's request and gave it to her on two separate occasions. He also swapped weapons with Maki during their fight with Hanami and used Playful Cloud to strike the special grade curse. Megumi admittedly doesn't feel comfortable using the three-section staff.

Megumi's current signature weapon is another lightweight sword, this time with a double-edged blade and a ring-shaped pommel. It has a black handle and the bottom of the blade is wrapped in bandages. Megumi first used this blade against Awasaka after replacing the black sword. He has used it in several battles since that point, including against Reggie where it was a constant staple in Megumi's offense.

Initially, Megumi was reluctant to use weapons because her technique made them difficult to wield, as she needed both hands to summon her shikigami. However, after discovering she could create a Tiny Domain Expansion, she changed her mind, as this allowed her to store any weapon she required in that "abyss of shadows," or more accurately, "The Abyss." From then on, she began receiving training from Maki Zenin to improve her ability to wield weapons and other tools.

Conventional Weaponry: While training with Maki, Megumi received a polearm to practice armed combat with. It is implied to be one of several weapons Maki trained Megumi to use to increase his close-range combat capabilities. Megumi used wooden tonfas during the Goodwill Event. He reinforced them with cursed energy and was skillful enough with them to deflect arrows and fight on even terms with Kamo. However, they were both broken when Megumi was trying to defend against Kamo's enhanced strength.

Intelligence:

He possesses a high level of intelligence. He is usually the type of person who, while fighting as part of a team, carefully analyzes the situation in order to find an opportunity that benefits the team. He is able to quickly detect his opponents' weaknesses or hidden techniques. Thanks to his quick thinking, combined with his great ability to improvise, he has survived in various situations. After a difficult fight against Hanami, he was able to determine that Hanami's weak point was in the branches sprouting from his eyes. He also made a last-minute improvisation and managed to get Yuji Itadori to quickly adapt to it in order to determine the technique Jiro Awasaka was hiding. He was even able to detect that Kento Nanami, Maki Zenin, and Naobito Zenin were in danger and decided to join their battle in order to create an opportunity for them to escape.

Speed ​​and Reflexes:

He doesn't possess the same speed as other characters and, at times, is frustrated by not being able to keep up with them. For example, during his battle against Jiro Awasaka, he confessed that he couldn't keep up with Yuji Itadori to coordinate and attack simultaneously. Despite his limitations, he usually adapts quickly to his surroundings to fight effectively alongside others. His reflexes are exceptional, allowing him to react quickly and block powerful attacks from his opponents most of the time. He is able to combine his speed and reflexes to avoid fatal attacks. He was able to block attacks from Noritoshi Kamo while the latter had his Flowing Red Scale technique activated.

Durability:

He possesses great durability and is capable of enduring prolonged periods of combat even with severe injuries. However, he can only continue fighting as long as he doesn't reach the limit of his cursed energy. His durability is boosted by his fits of rage when he is in dire straits. Despite his high resistance, he always ends up with too many injuries or significant blood loss, forcing him to rest for days. He was able to withstand powerful blows from Sukuna, Aoi Todo, and a special-grade curse wielded by a finger of the King of Curses, and yet, in each encounter, he was able to recover and continue fighting.

Strength:

Unlike other characters, he doesn't excel at using his strength. He himself considers it preferable to focus on battles that require his shikigami and leave the brute-force fights to Yuji Itadori.

Even so, he is capable of using physical attacks in combination with his technique to trap his opponent. Sukuna points out that Megumi's willingness to use close-quarters combat sets him apart from other shikigami users. Satoru Gojo even asserts that he has more potential and skill than Yuji Itadori in combat; however, he has the major problem of holding back his full strength, which causes him to get injured most of the time.

During his days as a student at Urami East High School, he was known for using his strength to beat up the local bullies, which earned him respect at his school.

Megumi wasn't interested in making friends, but he believed that interaction was fundamental. Tsumiki wanted him to stop getting into fights, but Megumi wouldn't listen and dismissed her. Although he appears stoic and calculating, Megumi wants 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 doesn't see himself as a hero for doing this. Another side of his personality is that he is quite insensitive when it comes to the deaths of criminals and murderers, as he believes they shouldn't be saved. 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.
