Jujutsu Kaisen is at the center of attention as its third anime season officially launches alongside the release of the sequel, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. Although the main storyline concluded in September 2024, mysteries surrounding the Cursed King Sukuna continue to fuel endless fan discussions.
Exactly three years ago, on February 6, 2023, the Jujutsu Kaisen community faced a dark day. That was when chapter 212 was released, revealing Sukuna’s true ambition as he forcibly took over Megumi’s body, pushing the series toward a tragic climax.
1. Sukuna’s Unusual Interest in Megumi Fushiguro
Since the Fearsome Cursed Womb arc, Sukuna has shown a particular fascination with Megumi. He even didn’t hesitate to save the young sorcerer from Mahoraga during the Shibuya Incident.
These actions confirm one thing: Sukuna has a grand plan involving Megumi.
2. The Plot to Break Megumi’s Soul and Seize the Ten Shadows
Sukuna quickly realized that taking over Megumi’s body wouldn’t be easy since Megumi has the potential to restrain him much like Yuji. To carry out his plan, the villain resorted to a cruel tactic: using Megumi’s own cursed technique to kill his sister, Tsumiki.
Megumi’s heart shattered completely, giving Sukuna the opening to seize full control. After performing the “Bath Ritual” to further suppress Megumi’s soul, Sukuna prepared for a historic battle against Satoru Gojo. At this point, Sukuna not only wielded his original power but also commanded the Ten Shadows, including the trump card Mahoraga.
3. The Epic Showdown with Gojo and Season 3’s Future
The earth-shattering fight between Gojo and Sukuna would never have happened if Sukuna hadn’t taken over Megumi’s body. Thanks to Megumi’s cursed technique, Sukuna found a loophole to defeat the “Strongest” Satoru Gojo. After removing his greatest obstacle, Sukuna faced the entire sorcerer world alone despite being outnumbered.
This major turning point is expected to be adapted in the second part of Season 3 (Culling Game Arc). Given the brutality and scale of the battle, it’s sure to be a moment that will explode across social media when it airs.
