After all these years, Jujutsu Kaisen finally reunites the father-son duo, but things don’t go as expected. After selling Megumi to the Zenin Family, Toji never once looked for him before he died 12 years ago.
Because Megumi was too young at that time, he was unable to recognize his father after meeting him in Shibuya. He was also forced to fight him. Obviously, the difference in their strength was amazing, so Toji should have easily won.
However, the Sorcerer Killer committed suicide after memories of his past came back to him. We also find out the real reason why Toji sold his son to the Zenins. Dig deeper to find out why Toji committed suicide in Jujutsu Kaisen.
Why did Toji commit suicide in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2
Toji died 12 years ago when he fought Satoru Gojo. During the Shibuya Incident arc, Toji was invited by Mrs. Ogami, a curse user. She used her adopted grandson’s body to summon Toji Zenin (not Fushiguro). Ogami only summons information from the body, not the soul.
This allows her grandson to use Toji’s physical abilities for short periods of time without reviving his personality. However, Toji soon gains control of the body by defeating his nephew’s soul. He kills Ogami, but her technique is still in effect.
By the time Toji entered Dagon’s Domain, he had become a puppet of carnage and focused only on defeating the strongest in his sight. After killing Dagon, Toji targets Megumi, who is stronger than Naobito, Nanami, and Maki. The fight was brief but intense.
Toji managed to recover his consciousness and we understand why he sold Megumi to the Zenin Clan. Toji, who couldn’t take care of such a small child, thought that the Zenin would value Megumi for inheriting the Ten Shadow Technique. However, Toji regretted it at the time of his death and told Gojo about Megumi’s situation.
During the fight, Toji asked Megumi’s name and was delighted to learn it was Fushiguro – meaning Gojo saved him from the Zenin Clan. He then stabbed himself in the head before losing control so as not to kill Megumi. However, Megumi still doesn’t know anything about him.
