Biography
Megumi Fushiguro (Japanese: 伏ふし黒ぐろ恵めぐみ, Hepburn: Fushiguro Megumi?) was a male human born on December 22, 2002 as the son of Toji Fushiguro (伏ふし黒ぐろ甚とう爾じ Fushiguro Tōji?) and thus a member of the Zenin Family (禪ぜん院いん家け Zenin Ke?) who were a clan of Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Megumi was sent on a mission to Sugisawa Third High School to retrieve a cursed object. After he arrived at the high school, he found that the cursed object was not there. Megumi called his superior to inform them about the circumstance, to which his superior told him that he could not go home until he found the object. The next day, Megumi is shown walking around the school and comes across multiple curses. Megumi wondered if there was a dead body in the school, or if the cursed object is attracting the spirits. Megumi wonders what to do when he comes across Yuji. Megumi noticed the presence of the cursed object on Yuji and decides to follow him. Megumi manages to track Yuji to the hospital, and meet with him. Megumi explains what the object was to Yuji but finds out that Yuji did not have the object and it was only the remaining cursed energy on the box. Yuji told Megumi that his senpai's were going to unseal the object tonight at the school, which the two rush over to the school. Once they reached the school, Megumi told Yuji to stay outside as he heads inside. As Megumi entered the school, he encountered multiple cursed spirits and uses his shikigami's to exorcise them. Megumi managed to locate Yuji's friends, but he notices that he can't rescue them in time. Suddenly, Yuji showed up by crashing through a window and manages to rescue his friends, Megumi uses this chance to exorcise the spirit. Megumi and Yuji are talking about the circumstances of the situation, when they are suddenly attacked by another spirit. Megumi tries to take on the spirit alone, but the spirit was easily able to overwhelm him. Yuji comes to Megumi's rescue, but the spirit easily counters Yuji. Yuji asks why the spirit wants the finger, to which Megumi tells him that the spirit wants to eat the finger in order to get stronger. Megumi then watches as Yuji eats the finger, and Sukuna is incarnated. Megumi also watches as Sukuna takes down the spirit and plans to start a massacre. When Yuji manages to take back his body, Megumi tells him that he will have to exorcise him. Suddenly, Gojo showed up and asked about what was going on. After Gojo was informed, Megumi was given the mochi that Gojo had brought to hold onto, while he faced off against Sukuna. Megumi then watched as Gojo took on Sukuna, and how Yuji managed to take back his body within ten seconds. After Gojo knocked Yuji out, he asked Megumi what he thought about Sukuna and Yuji which Megumi asked for Gojo to help Yuji out. The next day after getting healed, Megumi met up with Gojo and Yuji and informed Yuji that he was going to enrol at the same college he attended.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Megumi Fushiguro was a relatively tall, slim teenage human male of Japanese descent who possessed fair skin and a naturally stern, aloof facial expression. He featured light green eyes that slanted upward, giving him a constantly brooding and serious countenance, and his most distinct physical trait was his messy, dark black hair, which jutted out violently in long, sharp spikes in every direction around his head. In his professional capacity as a sorcerer, he wore the standard uniform of Tokyo Jujutsu High, which was completely dark blue in color. The ensemble consisted of a fitted, long-sleeved jacket with a high, closed collar featuring a single golden button engraved with a spiral design, matching dark blue trousers that cropped just above his ankles, long black socks, and dark ankle-high boots.
In personality, Megumi was defined by his quiet intensity. He often appeared distant or brooding, speaking only when necessary, but his thoughts carried a weight of introspection far beyond his years. He possessed a natural sense of leadership, preferring careful analysis to impulsive action, yet his humility kept him from arrogance. Beneath his calm surface lay a deep sense of guilt and duty, particularly toward his sister Tsumiki, whose condition motivated much of his resolve. His rare moments of vulnerability—when his composure broke and emotion surfaced—revealed the humanity behind his discipline.
Though appearing to be stoic and calculating, Megumi wished to help protect people he saw as being good or kind. He believed that the world was unfair and that a sorcerer was a tool to ensure kind people are given more chances to live.
Megumi could also be quite callous when discussing the deaths of criminals and killers as he believed they were not worth saving.
Fushiguro was a secretive person who did not like to talk about his past.
He had a sibling in the form of a step-sister named Tsumiki Fushiguro (伏黒ふしぐろ津美紀つみき Fushiguro Tsumiki?) after his father married her mother. She was said to had cared deeply for her step-brother Megumi and would often times scold him for getting himself into many fights.
As Megumi’s strength grew, so too did the shadow of his lineage. The Zen’in clan sought to reclaim him, viewing his talent as a means to restore their fading prestige. Yet Megumi rejected their traditions, choosing instead to forge his own path under Gojo’s guidance. His defiance symbolized his belief that strength without integrity was meaningless. Though he inherited the Zen’in name, he defined himself not by blood but by conviction, proving that legacy did not dictate destiny. This ideological rift made him a target of both admiration and resentment within the jujutsu hierarchy.
Despite their contrasting personalities, the two shared a mutual respect that evolved into genuine brotherhood. Megumi often acted as Yuji’s grounding force, reminding him of the harsh realities of their world while quietly admiring Yuji’s compassion. Their bond deepened through battles and shared losses, as Megumi learned to value emotional strength alongside rational discipline. Over time, this connection softened his detached demeanor, revealing a rare capacity for empathy beneath his stoic exterior.
Powers and abilities
Megumi Fushiguro was a human descendant to the Zenin family who were one of the ultimate clans dominating the world of sorcery. He entered Jujutsu High as a Grade 2 sorcerer where he was considered to have high potential. Several individuals had taken an interest in Megumi as a result with these including Noritoshi Kamo, Mai Zenin, Satoru Gojo and even Sukuna himself. According to Sukuna, Fushiguro showed a willingness towards using hand-to-hand combat that made him different from other shikigami users as he was able to use his physical attacks in combination with his shikigami to entrap his opponent. Such was his skill and power that he was able to contend with and even defeat special grade cursed spirits.
Such was his large reserve of cursed energy that he could summon Divine Dog: Totality, Nue, Toad, Rabbit Escape twice in a row. Megumi’s abilities as a jujutsu sorcerer were centered around the Ten Shadows Technique, a hereditary power of the Zen’in clan that allowed him to summon and control shikigami—spiritual familiars forged from cursed energy. Through this technique, he could manifest beings such as Divine Dogs, Nue, and Max Elephant, each serving specific combat purposes. Unlike other sorcerers, Megumi’s style emphasized versatility and strategy over brute strength, adapting his summons to control the battlefield and outthink opponents. However, his incomplete mastery left him vulnerable to overexertion, forcing him to constantly balance his ambition with restraint.
Among the techniques known to him included:
- Ten Shadows Technique (十種影法術 Tokusa no Kage Bōjutsu?) :
- Divine Dogs (玉犬 Gyokuken?) :
- Divine Dog: Totality (玉犬「渾」 Gyokuken・Kon?) :
- Nue (鵺 Nue?) :
- The Well's Unknown Abyss (不知井底せいていしらず Seiteishirazu?) :
- Max Elephant (満ばん象しょう Banshō?) :
- Rabbit Escape (脱だっ兎と Datto?) :
Later on, he came to learn the art of Domain Expansion (領りょう域いき展てん開かい Ryōiki Tenkai?) that was an advanced barrier technique whereby he was able to call forth an Innate Domain (生得領域しょうとくりょういき Shōtoku Ryōiki?). In his case, he was able to summon his own unique domain that was called Chimera Shadow Garden (嵌かん合ごう暗あん翳えい庭てい Kangō An'eitei?).
In addition, he had started to train with polearms under Maki Zenin and was able to wield weapons with a sufficient level of skill.
In battle, Megumi combined intelligence with adaptability. He fought not only with his shikigami but also through direct combat, using hand-to-hand techniques enhanced by cursed energy. His preferred approach was to manipulate the environment, create diversions, and strike from unexpected angles, reflecting his role as a tactician rather than a brute-force fighter. Over time, he began experimenting with fusing shikigami and cursed energy into new forms, seeking to overcome the inherent limitations of his technique. His progression from a cautious fighter to a confident innovator marked his transformation from student to prodigy.
He came to be a student who enrolled at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School (東京都立呪術高等専門学校 Tōkyō Toritsu Jujutsu Kōtō Senmon Gakkō?, lit. Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College).
