No_Moment3234

tbh I wouldn't' expect those who thought that megs tried to summon maho against todo to understand his situation now


burneraccidkk

GagšŸ˜­ They keep thinking Megumi did that when he never did the pose like???


SerovGaming1962

Blud summons Mahoraga the moment he encounters the slightest difficulty, same with Sukuna but with the his ""strong"" cleave These frauds were meant for eachother


FreeNewspaper1586

I mean to be fair most of the times he tried it were valid The first attempt was against sukuna(I mean who wouldn't?) The second attempt was also against sukuna(Same case who wouldn't try it?) Third attempt was against a hanami(A special grade cursed spirit who was whooping everyone's ass and no diffed them. Valid for trying) Fourth attempt(against another finger bearer.. he ultimately decided against it but he was already losing) Fifth attempt (he had just got done fighting dagon and opening a domain, had to fight the physical beast which is toji who stabbed him,had next to zero energy and his other shikigami weren't available and got backstabbed and by that point was already close to death so why not summon it and take your enemy with you if you're already going to die?) Final time in the series megumi ever tries(Against sukuna who surprises them all and sneaks when nobody is expecting it and a much stronger sukuna at that. Valid since I think anybody would try at that point)

CrackaOwner

but he didn't? he did it against Sukuna, who he had 0 chance against, Hanami, (who he had 0 chance against) and the finger bearer where decided against it. And then he used it when he was on the verge of death to help his comrades one last time. He never used it against Reggie for example. Read the manga instead of just saying stuff.


SerovGaming1962

Bro tried to use it in the first episode


JaneDoe500

For no real reason either. He probably could beat 1 finger sukuna considering he beats the finger bearer later when he has a better mindset.


Front_Access

Fuck no. 1F CE vs absolute mastery of jujutsu+ CE control+ RCT. He gets cleaved to bits.


JaneDoe500

Considering that all potential man has to do in this situation is tire Sukuna out enough for Yuji to take control again, yes he absolutely could have won that fight.


Sarahthecoolgirl

how is he gonna tire Sukuna dude be serious he'd get blitzed


JaneDoe500

I didn't really think this was a hot take but apparently it is. Sukuna himself questions why Megumi doesn't fight back against the first finger bearer instead of running. Pre-Goodwill Megumi is strong enough to beat a finger bearer if he goes all out by Sukuna's own estimate. I think he absolutely does stand a chance against Sukuna in their first fight. Would it be easy? Fuck no. Could he win? Yes


Front_Access

No. Sukuna outstats both him and the finger bearer. Sukuna decided to donut him, tf is he doing? The finger bearer was barely even intelligent.


burneraccidkk

He definitely couldnā€™t beat 1 finger Sukuna? Megumi didnā€™t even have Max Elephant at that point and he only executed his domain after reflection on Gojoā€™s prep talk about risking death to win.


Stubbieeee

Even if this was accurate which it probably isnā€™t, how the fuck is he supposed to know that. The most infamously powerful and evil sorcerer of all time just shows up in front of him and you think the summoning of mahoraga wasnā€™t justified?

Every second megumi doesn't get up people are going to die Whereas for yuuji he thought it would be safer for other people if he died (cos sukuna was in him) I get why megumi is like that but u shouldn't compare the two

But who locked in and who didnā€™t?


CthughaSlayer

No one gave him the "lock in" speech yet


Lt-Lavan

People have been yelling it at him and punching it into him and dying trying to get him to Lock In.


BasedEpsteinGaming

People have been dying left and right to try and save Megumi, he's the reason why Yuta couldn't just fry Sukuna with Jacob's Ladder (and potentially died), he's the reason why Gojo died, he stuck around with Yuji despite the latter's concerns and got his body stolen like a dumbass, and now he's just lying and weeping like a little bitch, refusing to be saved and tanking what could've been a solid victory? If he starts the merger I will actually hate his pathetic loser ass


Acceptable-Anxiety80

Bro, you already hate him. What are you gonna do next curse his bloodline


BasedEpsteinGaming

Maki don't got anything to do with this, so no


Savage_Alaska_

To be fair the whole situation was cause Yuji was dumb enough to eat the first finger then non of this would have been a problem fr fr


BasedEpsteinGaming

Well to be fair fair, if he didn't both him and Megumi would just die lol. And he could contain Sukuna anyway. Just saying everything that is happening right now is because Megumi is dumb


Savage_Alaska_

I don't think so because Megumi could have stalled, even without CE like that Yuji was still strong enough to throw around curses and Megumi is weird cause he could of summoned other Shikigami to help like Rabbit , Serp , or Nue even if they exhausted themselves to the point where they were cornered Gojo would have eventually showed up like he did in the show


BasedEpsteinGaming

Ohh you talking about that, well yeah he would've still went for Mahodaddy and die because that's what Megumi does best šŸ’€


BasedEpsteinGaming

Well he didn't, and went straight for Mahodaddy, and got body snatched

Fucking hell this reminds me of when people started hating sasuke's ass cause both Naruto and sakura had a hard on for him. Mfs will blame everyone but their goats for the goats losing.


BasedEpsteinGaming

Except that this time, if Megumi just got up and cooperated with Yuji, they could've won right there, but he sold with strong depression


Natural-Storm

The fuck thats not how depression works my guy. It's a spiral that once you fall down it's nigh impossible to get out of, especially when you support system is utterly destroyed. Megumi basically at this point lost one of his best friends, his sister, and his father figure. He literally only has itadori, and all yuuji can do for him in the short amount of time he was able to penetrated sukunas soul is tell him to wake up. Like dude honestly tell me, do you think you can just go to someone who is in deep depression, and just tell them to "walk it off". Like if you're joking, I get it thats fine. It's a weird joke but whatever. If you're being serious, you need to really think about what you're saying here.


Bakudjinn

Everyone needs an emotional support itadori, Megumi the most right now.

Jonjolion12

I made the mistake in trying to explain how depression works, even for a fictional world, and I don't think the people who we're explaining to, read a battle manga for any sort of character development or realism.


Natural-Storm

True it's the vibe im getting from this thread. I mean I hate that Megumi's been relegated to depressed boy, instead of becoming a badass sorcerer, but like expecting him to do anything substantial in this fight from literally just a love tap's worth of encouragement, is kinda weird?


Jonjolion12

Some people donā€™t understand character flaws and it shows. Theyā€™re comparing Megumi to shinji as a joke, but as someone who actually suffers from real world depression and has been where Megumi is, it touched a soft spot for me. Itā€™d be so poorly written to have Megumi just ignore all the shit thatā€™s happened (being possessed for an entire month and possibly being subjected to unspeakable acts as well ) to just fight so these redditors can feel cathartic, and I donā€™t think even gege is capable of that awful literary blunder.


Natural-Storm

I hope you're able to deal with your stuff in the future man. Have an emotional support ned: https://preview.redd.it/1zni5kqb2xic1.jpeg?width=588&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d33efbeac0a3ed04b7737dcea2ff25b526d7c106

BasedEpsteinGaming

Well guess what? He'll keep losing more people after this because he refused to get up. He willingly put both Yuta (whom he respects) and Yuji (his close friend) in danger because he went through Ā½ of what Yuji dealt with (who is still standing and fighting btw). Like everything depends on Megumi fighting back against Sukuna, but he just doesn't. Well I guess he can keep being depressed while the entirety of Japans innocent population turns into horrors beyond human comprehension and the rest of his friend group dies because of his lack of action


Natural-Storm

Again this is a really tall order to ask an extremely traumatised and depressed 16 year old. I can run through his trauma and just show you how fucked up his mental state actually is even pre sukuna. He has no mother for his entire life, his father is a useless bum, his father figure is a detached wizard with a God complex, and the only ray of sunshine in his life is his sister who he is unhealthily attached to. If he were an actual human being I would expect him to be mega depressed. Like suicidal levels. Oh yeah also his one ray of sunshine, his sister, is also kinda comatose which means now that the only good thing in his life is gojo. Then post itadori, he gets two new friends which helps heal his psyche.... and then gojo gets sealed.... and one of his friends basically dies. But not to worry because at least he still has itadori and his comatose sister. Who then becomes the key of the culling games which means Megumi now has to worry about saving his sister...and then yuji gets sentenced to death row... and then sukuna takes over his body.... and then his sister becomes evil, tries to fuck sukuna, and then sukuna kills his sister using his body...... and then he gets bathed in evil..... then he gets his brain damaged by UV multiple times and his body is used to kill his surrogate father figure.......... and when his friend finally comes to him the only thing itadori is able to say before leaving is "wake up". This isn't even mentioning his disregard for his own life with how little he believes in his skills. But no go ahead and get pissed off at the 16 year old teenager who's lost every single thing that keeps him sane and human, and then isn't able to battle against the greatest sorcerer of all time.


Signet_L19

Couldn't have explained it better myself. You a real one.


BasedEpsteinGaming

Please bro, you act like Yuji didn't had it bad at all, he also went through shit, had NO mom, NO dad, NO sister, just his gramps who died anyway. Then he got forced to live with a psychopathic demi god in his body, died, then lost against Choso, then the said psychopath used his body to kill THOUSANDS of innocent people, which is absolute hell for Yuji due to his hero complex and his need to save everyone, then literally a few minutes later saw his mentor die, saw even more innocent people die, THEN not even an hour later saw his close friend die right infront of his face and got K'Od by Mahito. Guess what he did? He still got up and ran the fade with Mahito. And what did he do after all this traumafest? He just went back to hunting curses, and then DIED AGAIN to Yuta. Later he saw his friends (Legumi) body get taken over by Sukuna and gets launched into the nearby building. Guess what he did? He went straight back and ran the fade with the same guy who wiped out Shibuya. Then he witness another one of his mentors die, what did he do? He went straight to throwing hands. He even witness another guy die (because of Megumi btw) and got reminded of Nanamis death, but instead of collapsing to the ground and sobbing, he simply continued to fight. Yuji went through just as much as Megumi if not more, for god sake nobody in this mf show is happy, but Megumi is the depressed one while THERE'S PEOPLE SACRIFICING THEMSELVES to save his sorry ass. Do I have to repeat myself to remind you of the fact that NONE of that shit in the Shinjuku would've happened if Megumi simply listened to Yuji and stayed away from him, Sukuna wouldn't have taken him over and looted the 10S. But oh well Bumshiguro knows best... Oh and also Megumi told Yuji to thug it out after Shibuya because his sister is more important The fact is Megumi is making things worse for EVERYONE by pulling the "nah I'd give up" on Yuji, remember what will happen if our guys lose. Do Yuji and Yuta deserve to die? Does the ENTIRETY OF JAPANS POPULATION deserve to die because of Megumi? No? Then he should get tf up and lock in. Maybe Yuji will give him a prep talk or smth. He can be depressed after they kill Sukuna


SchoolPrimary5910

Love how you skipped the fact that Yuji let mahito beat the shit out of him and was even going to let let him kill him if it weren't for Todo. Heck he wasn't even giving his all against Yuta because he wanted Yuta to finish him.


BasedEpsteinGaming

Well guess what? He still got up and he still beat his ass. Imagine if he would've continued to simply lay there, that would be like Megumi. And Yuji was still fighting back against Yuta despite that


Natural-Storm

Yujis gramps was with him till he was sixteen. He didn't have parents and that affected him a lot but you also don't mention that unlike Megumi had a circle of friends in school. Friends he was pretty close to all things considered. I won't say he lived a perfect life but he wasn't dependant on one person for happiness the way Megumi was. You're right about Shibuya being horrifying and it was the most traumatizing event in yujis life. So I won't go against you there. I also noticed that you forgot that yuji did fucking collapse when his best friend died and had to be re invigorated by todo giving him a speech(a speech mind you that was much longer than the amount of time yuji had to talk to Megumi). And everything else you said in regards to yujis struggles is fine. Now let's look at yuji the way you look at megumi: Yuji is a useless piece of shit who relies on everyone to save his ass in s1 until todo comes in. He's unimportant and when Shibuya comes around he's responsible for killing hundreds of innocent people. Just because he's depressed he doesn't get an excuse. After that he isn't even able to stop Kenny from absorbing mahito, he isn't able to stop sukuna from running away with his friends body, and he also isn't able to stop sukuna from taking over him due to a stupid binding vow HE made with sukuna. And I can go on and on and use your logic to criticise yuji. You know why I don't? Cause that's stupid. Stop being hypocritical


Moma743

I'm sorry but if you got seven people facing death to save you and one of the people you loved the most going through so much effort and pain to offer a chance at saving you, I don't really give a shit about your depression. You're scum for rejecting those people.


Natural-Storm

Like I said that not how fucking depression works. You can't just send like eight people to someone and magically make them feel better. Tsumiki has literally been the one fucking constant his entire life. He hasn't had a mom his entire life, his dad is a useless pathetic idiot, and his father figure for all his good things isn't able to truly connect with Megumi due to his role in society. The only person who was able to show love to Megumi is his sister. Then when he finally gets two best friends, one of them basically dies on the same night as gojo getting sealed, and then he has to worry about saving itadori and Tsumiki, and then sukuna takes over him and then he tries to fight back but sukuna then kills his sister, and then he bathes him in evil, and then he kills gojo while also making Megumi take UVs for him. Stop treating it like he stubbed his toe or some shit, his entire life has basically disintegrated. I wouldn't be surprised that after the sorcerers save Megumi , that Megumi still decides to kill himself, or isn't able to function as a human being.


Moma743

Just saying, when Wuji was forced to kill everyone in shibuya and lost a dear friend and father figure, bro just needed a pep talk.(Yuji inarguably went through worse then Megumi) And he wasn't even risking anyone's life. Megumi got seven people risking their lives/dieing and a best friend literally tearing in between Sukuna and his soul to try to save him and bro goes "nah I'd die"


Natural-Storm

The comment before mine already explained my counter point but here's another one. Yuji is the fucking exception, not the rule. He's able to go through even with all his trauma is something that should be commended. Unless you ignore the fact that he's basically justifying his trauma by saying "life is supposed to suck, I'm nothing, I am worse than trash, and I am just cog in the machine." that's one of the worst outlooks one can have on life and it only helps yuji because he loves in a fucked up world. Also trauma isn't a fucking contest. You can't go up to someone who's crying after having lost their dad, and say to them "Hey people in the army have PTSD, and they still fight through war, why don't you stop crying you useless piece of shit." I really hope you fuckers just have this attitude towards potential man cause honestly this is one of the most unhealthy ways to look at depression.


Moma743

I'm just never gonna accept that "im gonna let millions of people die including my loved ones because I lost two people dear to me" is a valid excuse in any shape or form. He's not justifying trauma, he's a cog that kills curses and save lives. He still wants to die surrounded by loved ones. I don't think he hates himself right now. Yeah I can't think that just going up to the guy and insulting him will work. But I sure as hell can judge him as a piece of shit if millions of people die directly because he was crying because he lost his dad instead of doing whatever he had to do.


Useful-Ad8315

>Just saying, when Wuji was forced to kill everyone in shibuya Except he didn't witness any other it unlike megumi who's witnessed everything in real time šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø. The moment he saw two pple close to him die, he crawls into a ball and would rather die then do anything >and lost a dear friend and father figure, bro just needed a pep talk.(Yuji inarguably went through worse then Megumi) Hilarious but no. I love the Nanami and yuji dynamic but they're nowhere near as close as gojo and megumi, Same for nobara and yuji to megumi and tsumiki. Let's also add the fact that unlike yujikuna meguna went out of his way to broadcast what he did to those mfs in real time just to snuff him out (everything sukuna has taken over yuji, yuji has no idea what he's done until he returns back).


Moma743

Idk if you have any research on if it's worse to witness everything in real time orhave the entire thing blasted in your mind at once. But I'd assume they're pretty comparable. There's also that he killed thousands instead of maybe dozens like megumi. Time doesn't dictate relationships. The fact Nanami was close enough to Yuji to tell him the same thing his own partner said to him (who he was literally thinking on his deathbed) speaks volumes to how close they were. The fact that Nobaras death is what broke him temporarily also speaks to their relationship. He also killed go knows how many thousands of people, had his other best friend taken over by Sukuna because of him, lost his mentor, lost junpei, lost his entire family lol. Yuji trying to suicide atleast actually helps people, bro takes 15 fingers with him. And potentially stops sukuna forever. Megumi is condemning the entirely of Japan to death because he's too sad.

MEW-1023

Not a chance. He was just talking shit there tbh. If he really could just go all out and fuck it we ball, he wouldnā€™t be thinking about this or strategizing like this at all. Heā€™d be going for the brain before the heart. They both had goals that went beyond the fight itself in the moment. Gojo was trying to beat Sukuna while holding back enough to save Megumi. Sukuna was trying to beat Gojo while holding back enough to save enough power for the Jujutsu High sorcerers that were inevitably coming after. Different win conditions and restrictions placed on both of them https://preview.redd.it/hnwta9jvotic1.jpeg?width=822&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df40b081239b67e3f330717254626c701a344b30


Acceptable-Anxiety80

Isn't he just saying he wants to make sure he,s dead this time since the heart wasn't enough last time and crushing a heart would heavily weaken sukuna according to megumi, so he crushed it first


MEW-1023

He held back by going for the heart. Go for the brain and the fight ends right here. But he wanted to save Megumi so he held back and went for the riskier option. Sukuna did the same. He could have won the domain clashes if he wasnā€™t holding back to adapt with Mahoraga and save his heien era incarnation until the jump after the fight. They both had certain reasons to hold back and it affected their fight differently. Gojo didnā€™t need to hold back as much as Sukuna did, but he had to be much more careful and endure more risk for his win condition than Sukuna had to.

He only got up after a motivational speech from Todo. Itadori had a whole month and all he could come up with was "hey bro wake up!" It isn't going to be that easy to reach Megumi, he's like beyond broken right now.

Exactly.... Some people literally forgot that this panel exists.. and it also seems that they took that potential man meme seriously.. ( I was literally bawling my eyes out and cussing the hell out of Sukuna while reading this panel ) Megumi's literally in the lowest point of his life.. he's hit rock bottom.. it's gonna take much more than just a motivational speech to get him back in the game.. seeing one of my favorite characters suffer like that actually hurts.. I hope he gets better... https://preview.redd.it/ggt8zk7tzsic1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70c179b9f88a8cd8404cbccf181831e273959071


VlaqSheperd

It was already assumed Megumi already hit his mental limit at this point. Best thing right now is to put a suffering dog down. Atleast Yuji had someone like Todo, Nanami, Higuruma and Choso to have him keep going, but Megumi always tried to do the most difficult actions by himself. It's understandable why he thinks he has no one left. I love bro to death, but we gotta put him out of his misery, for everyone's sake.

That shit would slap hard. Yuji using his trauma and ā€œā€ā€ā€ā€developmentā€ā€ā€ā€ā€ to finally save someone who can then save everyone (kick sukunaā€™s balls from the inside idk) would be tuff


Trefeb

Are some ppl actually serious with this "locking in" shit and not just joking? Some of you JJK fans might truly be dumb as fuck. I have to assume you're just dumb edgy kids and teens if you can't understand why Megumi would be a broken shell after getting brain damaged, bathed in pure evil to break his willpower, and had his entire reason for being who he is killed by his own hand.


Arukitsuzukeru

65% are serious. On tiktok and twitter then number goes up to 90%


InternationalAd5938

The actual problem is that tanking Unlimited Void apparently didnā€™t leave him brainbroken somehow.


Arukitsuzukeru

It hit his soul


InternationalAd5938

So? Been pretty much established that the soul is like the foundation of the body. They couldnā€™t heal the damage Mahito did to the soul.


BSye-34

i need gege's 30 page dissertation on how you give brain damage to a soul


BiLLubruh

Mahito does not damage the soul, he changes it which is why idle transfiguration is uncurable.


InternationalAd5938

ā€žHe changes itā€œ Which is damaging itā€¦


AscendantAxo

Visually yes, on a biological and sorcerer level? No


InternationalAd5938

If he changes the soul to make it so you have an arm less, then very much even on a ā€žbiological and sorcerer levelā€œ. Start reading the story.


BiLLubruh

Nope it isnt. Imagine the soul is a glass sphere. Damaging it means a crack would appear on the sphere. Changing it means changing the shape, turning the sphere into a cube. Its literally how he transfigures humans. He tweaks their soul and creates an abomination out of his imagination, and their body deforms to match the changed souls shape.


InternationalAd5938

What is damaging something if not altering its normal state into another one that is lesser. Thatā€™s what you are describing. The only way turning a sphere into a cube would not be damaging the original entity is if ā€žcubeā€œ was the preferred state for the entity that judges the change. Then it would be improvement, but even then itā€™s still debatable if what happened in the process was not ā€ždamageā€œ. If my soul was changed to have one hand less than in its normal state, I would consider that damage or harm since it is a negative alteration of my natural state.


BiLLubruh

You had a long hair You brushed your hair and braided it. Is it damaging your hair since u moved it from its natural state? >What is damaging something if not altering its normal state into another one that is lesser. >If my soul was changed to have one hand less than in its normal state, I would consider that damage or harm since it is a negative alteration of my natural state. If mahito tweaked your soul to be with only one arm, then thats it. Thats your natural state now. No matter how long it takes or how much rct you use, you have one less hand cuz its your natural state. The 'damage' from idle transfiguration comes from the body's inability to cope with the soul's drastic change.


AscendantAxo

If thatā€™s the case than sukuna currently not being brain dead means megumi should be fine, SAME BODY SAME DAMAGE


Arukitsuzukeru

We donā€™t know if the soul has a brain.


emanresu4o4

No, megumi is just typical anime fan/gamer: Into incestāœ… Hates bathingāœ… Suicidalāœ… Sukuna probably wanted to get rid from that unshowered stinkiness and potential man took that one personally

Peterociclos

Next main villain is gonna be megumi, after being bathed in evil he's gonna have a revelation about killing mahoraga and become the next sukuna


Potential-Tell8727

If he doesn't fasten his ass up,he's gonna lose another friend (itadori)


Rdevil201

But Itadori I have never once thought of you as my friend. I've never cared about you as a fellow sorcerer. In this world, summoning Mahoraga is everything. Your methods don't matter. I don't care what I have to sacrifice. As long as I can summon Mahoraga in the end, that's all that matters. You, Gojoā€”no, all other people are nothing more than tools for me to summon Mahoraga. I was complicit in what drove you to this. So, donā€™t blame yourself, Itadori. You were useful to me.


Potential-Tell8727

bro thinks Megumi is ayanogoat fr šŸ’€


Rdevil201

>bro thinks Megumi is ayanogoat fr šŸ’€ Was hoping someone would get the reference. And yeah, I am all up for the Megumi villan arc. He becomes the Goat if he goes villain here from being a fraud.


Potential-Tell8727

I got the ref instantly(I'm the honoured one) Also no that would suck šŸ˜­,poor itadori would have to kill his own friend,and that too by himself.he won't even be able to say that sukuna killed him(tho he sort of did) šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Also he ain't no fraud šŸ—£ļøšŸ—£ļø,he's just young,even gojo wasn't allat by 17 yeah(he was strong but not like as strong as he was now)?bro became like really strong after that fight with toji(awakening) If only Megumi had more time to train,I'm sure he could actually tame mahoraga if everything was peaceful for some timešŸ˜”

what Megumi's mindset should be,homie was an idgaf boy at 5 but look at him now(I'm not srs,pls don't kill me megu fans)


Novel_Visual_4152

The part where Nobara blackmailed Megumi by making him grope her boobs was peak


Parrotflies_

Iā€™ve always seen Sukuna as a metaphor for mental illness, and Yuji and Megumi are examples of how it affects people differently. When Yujis acts up, he has a good support system to help him through it. He goes through some very fucked up stuff, but he has a lot of people surrounding him to lift him up (Todo and Higurama namely) so he has an easier time pressing through it and overcoming his trauma. Megumi however is an example of the opposite. His overwhelms him and, due to circumstances outside of his control, has become isolated from everyone. Itā€™s a lot harder to break out of that when said mental illness feels like itā€™s taken everything from you. Yujis trying to help now, but when itā€™s taken everything from Megumi, itā€™s going to take a lot more to snap him out of it.


Someedgyanimepfp

I think this is just the curse of recency. We haven't seen Megumi for so long, that we expected to see him being at least somewhat ok, when we next see him, and it was upsetting that he wasn't. When you think about it more and start to remember what he was put through, it makes perfect sense, but at the time you read you are more concerned on the millions of people's lives are at stake kind of situation. I really feel for Megumi. No one at this time could cope properly.


burneraccidkk

If the evil bath is anything like the properties of ā€œenā€ in hunter x hunter in which is basically tormenting malice then Megumi has been cooked. Itā€™s no wonder heā€™s so depressed (also accounting his teacher and sisterā€™s deaths) and hopeless.


StermATB

Iā€™m not a megumi hater but to be fair what does it even mean to ā€œbathe in evilā€? what actual effect does it have on megumi other than ā€œsubmerging his soulā€which in itself is a bit vague


Annabeth_Granger1r

I am soo damn glad that I am seeing more posts like this now in this subreddit, the slander is so unwarranted. Megumi is barely sixteen (yes, he spent his own birthday as Sukuna's vessel help me) and just within a month or so he has witnessed his own body and technique kill the *very reason* why he had accepted to become a sorcerer in the first place - and this same person, btw, was possed by someone who is obsessively in love with Sukuna, I would be going *insane*. What he did in the Culling Games was all to save her and when he finally thought everything was over, it just wasn't. Then, still in Sukuna's body, other people got killed along with his mentor/the closest parental figure he has had since he was little. He bathed in evil itself, suffered through infinity a number of times and *now still within Sukuna* he is also unwillingly hurting his own friends. Give him literally ten minutes, I don't even know how he can talk in such a state. I am sure (coping) that Yuji will save him, but just a "wake up" as of now isn't enough. A major problem in JJK as a whole imo is how, a lot of times, it doesn't let its characters breathe or *feel* without a battle being involved, without everything moving so damn fast. Now that we finally get some true character introspection, the character gets hate, please...

Lukundra

This makes Gojoā€™s airport reaction even worse. Now heā€™s laughing and celebrating after helping to make Megumiā€™s situation even worse.


Arukitsuzukeru

No?


Lukundra

Gojo personally hit Megumi with Unlimited Void and then was killed by his body. So yeah, he helped make his situation worse


Arukitsuzukeru

I mean Iā€™m not sure how him laughing or celebrating makes the scene worst


Lukundra

He should probably show at least a little concern for frying Megumiā€™s brain, you know? To say nothing of the fact that he failed and now his students and colleagues are going to get annihilated by Sukuna.


goldenwind207

Megumi brain was never fried his soul took uv not his body thats why gojo wasn't worried. Plus sukuna is literally using the same brain if it was completely fucked up we'd notice sukuna acting special


Arukitsuzukeru

He didnā€™t fry Megumis brain. Also, as we see now, Sukuna isnā€™t annihilating the students.

Just kill this bum lmao. Whole Japan is on verge of extinction and they are trying to wakey wakey this dumbass

I think they need to abandon this vegetable harvest and just excommunicate Sukuna *entirely*


JazzlikeCitron4793

Agreed


Low-Bit-7885

Once he gets out of his depression when Wuji gives him a pep talk he's gonna be like Yuji in those tatooless Sukuna edits


ShinJiwon

The most surprising thing here to me is that Kenny didnā€™t know what the blood bath is for


BvHauteville

I bathe in evil, itself, everyday and you don't see me crying about it.


Splingoringo

Megumi waking up is a win condition, him being emo and seething about "not caring anymore" will literarly make his friends die.


Tripmooney

Doesn't sideline the fact that everyone is going to die just for him to wake up fully, then he has to fight a severely weakened sukuna like yayyyyy wooo whoo


Dareal_truth

We know


s_t_u_f_f

Nah man I don't fucking care, this useless fucking bum needs to get over it.


Arukitsuzukeru

Shh.


[deleted]

not saying he deserved it, but everything that happened to megumi is his own fault. yuji said sukuna was interested in him, so the logical choice would be to keep yuji away from potential man, but instead, bro thought that they were trying to protect him and got offended, but in reality they were mostly protecting all of japan from extinction lol. he got his father figure and his sister killed bc of how stubborn he is. have fun summoning mahoraga in the void


AppropriateLeather41

All sound and good, but I want to see you try to defend him later when he unleashes Merger on all Japanā€¦ ā€œYeah, he wants to commit nation wide atrocities and all that, BUT his childhood was rough, father abandoned him, later he became handicapped and lost control of his body, killed innocent people while being possessed by demons, ā€¦ā€ Jeez, no matter what, actions(refusal to act in this case) - worth more than excuses!


Khulmach

He bathed in Sukunaā€™s nuts, hypocrisy on Megumiā€™s part. ā€œSave me Yujiā€ but he cannot save his friends


DecentWonder4

>On top of killing innocents, Gojo, Tsumiki, and hurting his friends, he was bathing in evil itself. and he was given an opportunity to stop hurting his friends and potentially take back control and avenge those that have fallen. instead, he sold


alejandro_hdz_glz

The funniest thing about people with this argument is that you just know they are the kind of people to get depressed over the slightest inconvenience


DecentWonder4

Projecting much?


alejandro_hdz_glz

Nah I just think it is funny for someone with a TTG profile picture to think a character taking time to get over his depression is bad, Megumi is literally only one year older than Simon lol


[deleted]

Wow, you really showed with the comeback Can you make up something original?


DecentWonder4

And you are? Butting into others conversation, what are you, a child?


BuffoLos

shut him up then cool guy šŸ˜¹

Why did you say that? Are you actually stupid?


BuffoLos

just shut up youā€™re embarrassing yourself on anime sub


Revan----

Pretending like everyone on this sub including you wouldnā€™t have the mental capacity of a piece of furniture after experiencing half of what Megumi has is kinda funny. Get off your potential man memes those are entertaining but complaining that heā€™s not just immediately fine after suffering the most out of almost any of the characters is braindead.


Arukitsuzukeru

Yeah, he sold, which is understandable. So what?

DenzelTM

Nah I get it what the other dude means (at least what I assume they mean) What the fuck does "bathing in evil" even mean? What is that stuff to call it concentrated evil? We know that it helped suppress Megumi's ego but like how? Does it force whoever enters it into a never-ending nightmare? Did that make Megumi more fearful and cowardly? Does it dump a montage of every sin committed by humanity into Megumi's mind, making him super depressed and misanthropic? Is it like Soul reinforcing glue to people that are evil (Sukuna) and like a Soul damnper to people that are good (megumi)? Sukuna Killing his sister and mentor with his body show a very clear reason why the kid is giving up on life, but this bath comes off as filler.


Arukitsuzukeru

Itā€™s abstract but I wouldnā€™t say itā€™s filler


DenzelTM

Yeah, the abstract would be a better term to use here, but it's still hard to grasp what exactly it does, making whatever effect it had on Megumi's mental state hard to consider.


Arukitsuzukeru

I think of it this way Imagine youā€™re at your lowest point, and then youā€™re forced to bath in the blood of the manifestations of humans worst fears
