In the latest arc of the manga, tribe finally free to wreak havoc on my world Jujutsu Kaisen, but the new vessel that freed him may actually be the key to his defeat. MangaGege Akutami has done an excellent job in establishing Sukuna as one of the ultimate villains in a world filled with dangerous threats from powerful curses and fighting witches. or support them. And the level of devastating power he displayed in the most recent chapter of the manga is proving why he is so dangerous.
In chapter #214 of Jujutsu Kaisen, after seriously injuring Hana, Sukuna continues to fight Yuji, who seems to have recovered from the brutal punch Sukuna dealt him in the previous chapter. Their fight destroys various buildings around them as Yuji performs a surprisingly good attack. This made Sukuna wonder about Yuji’s apparent toughness as he performed a series of fierce cursed energy slashes that could have easily killed him. However, he realized when Yuji got close enough to punch him that it wasn’t so much his opponent’s toughness as his surprisingly low amount of cursed energy that was the problem. As Yuji’s punch connects, Sukuna curses Megumi, whose body he now possesses, implying that the new vessel may be the source of his problems.
Sukuna’s possession of Megumi could be his downfall
Exploiting this weakness may be the only way Yuji and his friends can feasibly defeat Sukuna as he is nearly unparalleled in strength when at full power. The best example of this is during the Shibuya Incident arc, where he was allowed to fight freely in Yuji’s body. During that time, he not only easily defeated the powerful cursed spirit Jogo in battle but also defeated the ancient Shikigami Mahoraga, a nearly unstoppable creature that no wizard has yet been able to tame. can be transformed. Mahoraga was later instrumental in Sukuna’s victory over Gojo, who was hailed as the strongest jujutsu wizard of his time.
It seemed like Sukuna wasn’t having any trouble with his cursed energy in the fight against Gojo, but then that moment in the fight against Yuji seemed too meaningful to ignore. Perhaps Akutami wanted to plant the seeds for future developments, foreshadowing that Sukuna’s ultimate defeat would come from his new vessel. The exact way in which Sukuna’s vessel interferes with his energy production remains unclear at this time. Megumi’s body may be less suited to handling Sukuna’s specific cursed energy technique. However, Megumi can also actively resist Sukuna’s control, thus weakening his attacks. This would allow Megumi to continue participating in the fight against Sukuna despite seemingly being completely controlled.
Can Megumi still help defeat Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen?
In the latest chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna transformed into her original body to defeat Kashimo, leaving it unclear what happened to Megumi. If this transformation completely erases Megumi’s original body and soul, then the hope of the sorcerer weakening Sukuna from the inside is very unlikely. However, it is likely that Sukuna would want to retain at least a part of Megumi in her altered form if only the flexible Ten Shadows technique could be accessed. If he does this, Megumi can still exert her influence over the Cursed King, potentially weakening him enough to allow Yuji and the others to deal a fatal blow.
Even with this weakness, Sukuna will not be easily defeated. After all, he had overcome the supposedly invincible Gojo, but this was the first weakness tribe has shown in Jujutsu Kaisenit offers a faint glimmer of hope that the manga’s heroes will be able to surpass him.
