While the series currently is in its climatic period in the manga, fans are unsure about how much of the Jujutsu Kaisen entertainment is left for them and how the series would end essentially. However, Akutami may have already decided the fate of one character from the series and it is not Yuji Itadori, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen.

In an interview that was shared in the Jujutsu Kaisen mini-character book, Akutami was asked what they had decided regarding the conclusion of the series, to which they explained how they had decided the conclusion of every important point and also the ending of Megumi Fushiguro, one of the most important characters of the series.

Megumi Fushiguro’s Potential Ending in Jujutsu Kaisen

Currently, Megumi’s role in the Jujutsu Kaisen future chapters in the series is uncertain. He has been possessed by Sukuna who has taken control of his body and is using it to full extent. There is a very good chance that Megumi may already be dead as Sukuna has full control over his body and unlike Yuji, he could not control the possession of his own body.

However, looking at the importance of the character, Megumi may still be alive. Megumi is probably not in good emotional or mental health, even if he is still living. He will have suffered from the weight he has carried and the deaths he has seen. A pivotal moment in the narrative may see Sukuna’s death, and in that event, Megumi may escape with his life.

Although it is uncertain what Megumi’s future holds for the character, the importance of the character bounds him to have an important role at the end of the series, thus it is highly likely that Megumi is still alive.
