As the Jujutsu Kaisen manga is nearing its long-awaited climax, the latest reveals of Chapter 266 have had fans reeling. The touching Chainsaw Man moment, which coincidentally, has now taken on a more sorrowful vibe and tragically might have been connected with the fate of Megumi, from Jujutsu Kaisen.

The innocently sweet scene of Aki’s impossible dream seems to be hinting at poor Megumi’s possible tragedy. As the series approaches its end, the fans are bracing themselves for the worst as the parallel story of Megumi might be heading toward a really depressing ending.
Megumi Might Have A Very Painful Fate Waiting For Him

Megumi’s journey in Jujutsu Kaisen has always been downhill and littered with constant heavyweight battles and endless determination. However, Chapter 266 shook the fans a little bit more towards him. Chapter 266 finally brings readers into the greatly ideal world, that Megumi dreamt of, where his friends lived in peace, unrestrained by the threat of the cursed spirits.
In the said chapter, we see Yuji tuning in to what’s going on in Megumi’s mind, he suddenly begins to realize that he actually does have a vision. He envisioned a world where his sister, Tsumiki, could safely be enjoying her life. Megumi knows it won’t be easy, but at least his will to clutch the fragile piece of life of Tsumiki, says a lot about his character.

Megumi’s ideal world would be one of uneventful contentment. Common moments—such as shared meals and sun-dried laundry, or idle walks alongside someone like Yuji—are the things that he wanted in his mind. His final wish was to let his sister go in peace, to have that sigh at the very end, and comfortably saying, “Ah, I’m so happy.“
The Parallels Between Megumi And Aki Is One Thing That Megumi Fans Should Be Worried About

Fans are now very apprehensive about what is going to happen to Megumi because of the striking parallels between Megumi and Aki. Both characters share a deep longing for a peaceful future where they can experience some amount of comfort.
both aki and megumi deserve a happy life😭

Aki’s tragic demise serves as the haunting reminder that sometimes even the best of dreams are brutally shattered. Moreover, the fact that they share similarities in terms of goals and connecting themselves to the main characters—Aki with Denji and Megumi with Itadori—makes one further worry that a similar fate could await Megumi.
Knowing their storylines’ eerie similarity, it’s hard not to wonder if Megumi will survive. If that isn’t more anxiety-inducing, then the fact that Gege Akutami does not fear a really intense plot twist or character sacrifice should be. Aki’s death rings a painful reminder that this series wasn’t afraid to take any risks. In such a case, with Megumi’s thread of the narrative so strong and interwoven into that of Aki, we wonder if this will be a case of history repeating itself. Now all we can do is just wait and watch.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 & 2 is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
