Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo All But Confirms Megumi Fushiguro's Fate

Recent developments in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo have rocked the fandom to its core with this reveal that changes everything about a beloved character's status. Modulo is set 68 years after the end of the first series, but keeps twisting the minds of its readers with surprises about how the characters appear now.

In Chapter 15 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, Yuka Okkotsu confirmed what many have feared: that Megumi Fushiguro is dead. This can be determined through Yuka Okkotsu having the Ten Shadows Technique and the ability to summon Mahoraga.

The Ten Shadows Technique runs under strict bloodline rules in the Zenin Clan. This cursed technique cannot be inherited by another user until the original wielder has died. So when Yuka can use this technique, we can only assume that she is the granddaughter of Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin and that Megumi must have died before Yuka was born.

In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 15, Yuka uses Mahoraga against Dabura, an alien threat. As she jumped from a plane, she summoned Mahoraga during her fall before diving into her shadow. This is not just a technique; it is the same Ten Shadows technique that has been associated with Megumi throughout the entire original.

Supporting Evidence From Earlier Chapters

Earlier chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo made clear that Megumi was no longer around to help Yuji Itadori, and Chapter 13 was the first to mention Yuji's reason for staying away from his friends, which Nobara stated at the end of the Chapter. Yuji thought it was too much to go to another funeral, and we had just seen Hana Kurusu, Megumi's girlfriend from the original manga, die.

When the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo characters were looking for Yuji to face Dabura, they didn't mention trying to get in touch with Megumi at all. It seems pretty obvious that if Yuta and Maki have been confirmed dead in the sequel, then Megumi was added to the list way before either Yuta or Maki.

A Powerful Legacy in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo shows how crazy it is that Megumi's technique was as good as Gojo thought it was. Yuka's ability to summon Mahoraga is like the best version of the Ten Shadows Technique, which Megumi couldn't achieve by learning to tame. Her mastery of this power, combined with her lineage from Yuta and Maki, makes her one of the most formidable sorcerers in the new generation.

In this chapter, Yuka kind of cleverly uses the technique. She summons Mahoraga using a ritual method, and then hides in her shadows so she won't be the target first. How clever is that? She shows how much better she understands how the technique works, probably even better than Megumi!

What does this mean for the Story?

Yuka's death-binding vow and deteriorating condition from brain cancer add urgency to her battle with Dabura. She has sped up her illness to get the maximum strength she can before her time is up anyway. This creates a parallel with the original series while establishing an identity for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.

Trending

The battle between Mahoraga and Dabura will go down in history as the first time an adaptive Shikigami faces an alien cursed technique. This unique event could expand/improve the definition of both cursed energy and the Ten Shadows Technique. Whether or not Yuka will survive is still unknown. However, she has proven herself worthy of the power that was passed down to her from Megumi.

As Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo approaches its climax, the absence of Megumi Fushiguro becomes more pronounced. His death may not have been shown on-page, but the inheritance of his signature technique to Yuka Okkotsu confirms what fans feared. The boy who once struggled with his own potential lived long enough to pass that potential to the next generation, and that may be the most fitting tribute of all.
