What Gege's Comments Mean for Yuji and Megumi's Fate | Jujutsu Kaisen 

Who's making it out this manga alive? Discord: discord.gg/manganimist Twitter: twitter.com/manganimist

People aren’t ready for Yuji to turn his own finger into a cursed object and stuff it inside Sukuna’s mouth. Trust me bro

gojo dies, yuji skrrts to afterlife, megumi commits seppuku out of shame, Nobara goes on an adventure to find the One Piece with her new crew and a golden eyepatch

So I personally believe yuji will be the only survivor, and the only thing that will keep him going is Megumi's final words: "Thank you, for saving me, Yuji"

The most tragic ending is Sukuna winning and Megumi surviving but only as a vessel.

i could also see gege having potently changed the story as things progressed so i think that they could both live potentially. also new emote spam

I had the special grade sauce… none of you understand what true jujutsu is…

Megumi will live and Yuji will take Sukuna’s place as a cursed object inside him.

My guess is that Yuji will be the last one standing. Gege likes to foreshadow future events with his colored illustrations, and one of the most recent ones shows Yuji standing in front of Sukuna, The Dharmachakra Wheel behind Sukuna and the Six Eyes behind the Wheel. With the Six eyes having made a return through Satoru Yuta, the Wheel still remains. Taking in consideration how the creation of Cursed Tools was a mystery for current age Sorcerers, and how they now have figured out the key to the creation of a Cursed Tool is the sacrifice of a Soul, I'm betting Megumi is gonna peace out and gift the Wheel to Yuji.

It was foreshadowed from Ch. 1 of the manga that Yuji would die to save his friends. His grandfather said "die surrounded by friends who love you", or something similar. Yuji will die to defeat the merger and/ or Sukuna so Megumi can achieve his dream of having a normal life.

To be clear about the "slash that cuts the world" the binding vow Sukuna made cannot be rescinded. He basically chose to establish conditions on his world slash for every utilization afterwards in order to fire it off when he did at Gojo. This means unless he finds a work-around, there is no way to fire off the slash without the conditions as he made them a requirement for it to work. Another way to look at it is he agreed to nerf the slash so long as he could fire it off once immediately. It is actually a big win for Gojo in forcing that, as by the time Sukuna pulled the trigger he already had the elements for the slash in place (meaning Gojo could no longer stop the development of the slash). If Gojo had not pushed Sukuna to try use it when he did, and Sukuna still won (by let's say transforming and then firing it), he would have easily dispatched everyone else as the world slash would no longer be as telegraphed as it was due to the conditions placed on it. Sukuna trying to use the world slash as it would have been without the vow would be like trying to use an exploit that was patched. It ain't gonna work.

I can’t see Megumi surviving at the end. With all the damage to his body, there’s no way he is living, especially with his heart still damaged.

"Kyoto school sister exchange event" Exchanging sisters??!?! Is this the zenin clan 💀

an interesting way gojo could return in a way is if yuta somehow turns a part of gojo into a cursed object, an eye perhaps

Whether he lives or dies I stan with Yuji.

Honestly , either yuji dying while being able to save megumi or yuji being the only who survives after everything are very likely scenarios , its like a 50/50 chance of either both happening.

is it possible for Yuji to become a curse who's purpose is to kill curses? He could die and potentially turn into a curse, maybe due to regret of not being able to save anyone etc and that would make his speech earlier to Mahito even more terrifying.

Its truly confusing seeing as how we dont know everything about the cast just the bottom of it all and theres sm more to learn before the end of this series i want to know before the death of whoever being sukuna or yuji.

yuji can't keep suffering if he dies. he is the one that lives

It would be so tragic if yuji had to fight an evil megumi and kill him.

Final lines for JJK Yuji to rando after saving them: "Dont worry. I'm strong, so I'll help you"

gege himself even doesnt know which one is gonna happen. he makin shit up as he goes

Yuji dying and Megumi living physically but not coming back mentally would be a fitting ending or Gojo comes back somehow and nobody needs to die

I can see Yuji dying going like this: Sukuna kills him in order to advance the merger, but as he’s about to activate it, Yuji comes back with a damn near unlimited amount of CE flowing out of him like a heavenly light. Turns out he made a binding vow to return to life with every ounce of ability he would ever have, but under the limit that he had to kill Sukuna and die with him. He does this, in my headcanon, through his domain. The technique he would imbue the domain with would be the memory altering one we don’t have a name for. He’d activate his domain and it would catch Sukuna off guard to where he couldn’t counter. Being inside, Sukuna would question the technique as the landscape turns into the snowy forest that he used against Mahito, and Yuji would just start menacingly walking towards him, going on about how much suffering he’s caused, yet how he himself has suffered so much. “Sukuna, the one who will teach you about love…” the landscape changes to Malevolent Shrine, minus all the bones so it’s just a shrine atop a lake surrounded by darkness with small fires burning all around, “…is me”. Sukuna tries slashing Yuji but he just tanks it. He tries thinking about just how odd the domain is when Yuji storms up and slams him, and as he opens his eyes, he’s back in the Heian era, sparring with his nephew. They speak jovially with each other but at the end of the conversation, Sukunas eyes widen and he realizes this is the domain, and the scene blips between the peaceful, happy Heian era and Yuji menacingly walking up to him in his domain. Yujis mind altering gives Sukuna the ability to see how his life would’ve been with his Twin and Yuji as a real family and it’s starts driving Sukuna crazy, he’s throwing out attacks at Yuji like Mahito was throwing rocks. As Yuji gets right in front of him, Sukuna just stands there mentally broken, not understanding reality from Yujis ability, then Yuji pulls him into a hug and says, “Cmon Uncle, let’s go there, huh?” A single tear runs down Sukunas face, having never known this compassion, he asks if what he saw could be real, to which Yuji says are you ready to find out? Yuji then pierces Sukunas chest with his hand, and pulls out a black and red aura wisp (Sukunas soul). The domain closes, and Megumis body returns to normal. Yuji restored his soul when he reached in to grab Sukuna, so Megumi just looks at Yuji and cries out his name. Yuji responds, saying “Everyone deserves to be happy at some point, and this way, nobody else has to die” as he starts to decay/flake away having absorbed Sukunas soul into his own. Megumi cries out one last time and Yujis final words are “I’m sorry to leave you alone, you were like a brother to me, take care of them all”. Yuji finishes crumbling away and Megumi is left crying at the sky; unsure of how to continue, eventually becoming the next Sukuna. Sorry for the massive dump, just wanted to get that off my brain somewhere

I think either way Yuji is definitely dying because Kenjaku stated that the cycle of curses will never end as long as Sukuna and Yuji are alive

I think it could also be interpreted as their character dying not the physical body yknow? its like how teen geto "died" after hidden inventory arc, it could mean that either yuji or megumi (probably megumi) has their character personality so changed by the events that take place their old selves are considered dead? I dont know im just speculating but dead doesnt always mean heart stops beating y'know?

I’m at a crossroad as a yuji Stan 1 part of me wants yuji to complete his goal and save the people he loves, but the other part of me wants him to live and I’d lowkey be salty if bro died and megumi got to live😐.

For the Inumaki cursed speech question it was specified in the cultural school exchange arc thing (where kyotou students fought the tokyou students) that you can guard against cursed speech by directing cursed energy to protect your ears but you need to be consciously doing it which is why most people would otherwise ignore it and not think about it. 10:37

Wasn't Nanami originally supposed to survive Shibuya, but then Gege realized Nanami's character ended in Shibuya too perfectly? Gege is prone to change, and depart doesn't necessitate death, as you point out.

I think that Megumi and Yuji are going to have a situation like Geto and Gojo, and Yuji will be a lot stronger from the sukuna fight and Megumi will be on par with the rest of the special grades because of how much jujutsu was used in his body, (essentially having crazy totalities from the shikigami that died and having cleave, dismantle, and the fire arrow), and that Megumi will have no hope and might turn evil somehow and start the merger, like how Geto turned and wanted to kill all non-sorcerers, and megumi will have a falling out with yuji the way geto had one with gojo

Your voice sounded like you were about to break down during the video and honestly hearing you talk about what Yuji might feel with the loss of his four closest friends,and not just them but people like Choso,and others who've died for all this effort. It's truly just sad and honestly this manga is just becoming more tragic as it goes on,and all I want is for the main cast to stick it to Sukuna and have Yuji or Megumi give him what he deserves and break his ideals and make him pay.

I can totally see Gege pulling a 'three live' scenario out of this with Yuta being trapped in Gojo's body. Kenjaku's technique makes it so that in the 'eyes' of Jujutsu, there's no difference between a stolen body and a regular body, as seen when the six-eyes couldn't discern Kenjaku from Geto

Honestly, after hearing that Megumi was supposed to be the original MC of JJK, and that Gege has teased us that he’s working on a new Manga, it would fit perfectly if Yuji died and Megumi lived. Assuming that Gege’s next manga will be JJK related it could setup for Megumi to either be the main character again, or the new strongest main antagonist. Most of the old cast is currently being “retired” so being the new MC leading or Gojo would probably be better. Also, the Hollow Purple better not kill Sukuna. This man has taken so much from us and deserves to get a Star Platinum level ass beating from Yuji before he goes. And one more additional thing, if Sukuna and Megumi’s souls were separated, what actually happens? Like what happened to Megumi’s original body after Sukuna transformed into his Hein Era form? Does the transformation just revert? No one actually talks about this.

Just asking, if the way Gege worded it was being "dispatching/removing them from the story", and he stated that he always intended for Nanami to die in Shibuya. Could it be that Nobara is simply out of action/not able to fight anymore due to her injuries? Unless I haven't heard the translation where Gege outright states that Nobara DIES, it isn't out of the realm of possibilites. That could also be why Nobara is still left so vague, even after the exhibition.

I definitely feel like Gojo will come back because in the beginning Gege emphasize so much on that part that he would win. Also when Gojo dies, he actually thinks of the airport scene as not heaven but a dream which makes me think that somehow Shoko could heal Gojo and he could come back. Also I think people are only thinking about sukuna right now but forgetting that kenjaku is still alive. I definitely don't buy the fact that kenjaku died this easily. I definitely feel like he is the big deal. My theory about Nobara is that maybe she is alive but not able to fight anymore. Because first the blond hair dude says there is a chance she could survive and why does he say that. Also when yuji asks megumi about Nobara he doesn't respond anything at all. Also Gojo mentions nanami but he doesn't mention Nobara. Ik they weren't that close but again Nobara was his student. At least he could have said something about her. I definitely feel like Nobara state is really vague right now. Either 1)she could come back to fight sukuna like todo did or 2) she is in coma or unable to fight 3) she is dead or the last one ok it's impossible but still 4) kenjaku takes over Nobara. I think no.4 is a really good theory because megumi is taken over by sukuna and Gojo is taken over by yuta and Nobara is taken over by kenjaku. It would be cool if theory 4 comes true.

Cant Gege just give us direct answers?, Like i dont wanna lose my mind thinking who's gonna die between Yuji and Megumi and if Gojo's gonna come back or not🙏😭

In the light novel it doesnt affect the other bad guys around the cursed speech user too and only affects nobara. Even though it wasnt uses the same way as toge's and was weaker its another example in a different scenario.

You can also block Cursed Speach by reinforcing the ears with CE

Honestly think that it would be fitting that, once the merger and the King of Curses die, only the “blessing” remains.

Ive been thinking what if Inumaki swapped souls with Shoko, would make a lot of sense

But what if nobara is the one alive. And "Departed" simply meant she has left jujutsu sorcery. Then it could come to a conclusion that both megumi and yuji can be killed off maybe with a draw with sukuna. Yuji landing the final blow and dieing right after or something

I like the idea of cursed energy colors being significant, even if only minimally As we know blue is pretty much the base color, and then a black flash is of course mainly black but it has red energy in it as well So maybe red cursed energy is to show the next evolution of a users cursed energy control/power but then with the theme of JJK mixing red and blue as the ultimate control of the users cursed energy and power output. So it would make sense that Mahito had purple cursed energy showing that he achieved pretty much his maximum potential by the end of Shibuya before his fate was ultimately sealed. So it would very much be interesting if, hear me out, Yuji's cursed energy becomes purple like Mahito's by the end of it all, showing that he's reached his "maximum" potential and also being a parallel to Mahito and his fate, going back to the "I'm you." moment. (Could get real crazy and say Yuji will end up having *black* cursed energy as the proof of true maximum cursed energy control and power, especially with him being *the man chosen by the sparks of black*

In the fan book gege stated he didnt know how yuji would end in the manga but he knew megumis ending already so if anything Yuji would be the last one alive but he could have also changed his mind since then too you never know. ~

Honestly i think megumi will survive just to make his life more tragic but eventually he will master all his techniques live up to his potential and truly be the student gojo took on

Yeah, maybe Gojo will still be able to reach megumi like he wanted to before passing. Maybe that will be his geto beyond the grave moment where he will somehow reach megumis soul

Yuji and megumi, U both were truly special.

whatever Gege means by "departed", it's cleary means, that she won't appear in the story, even if she's alive. like, maybe she's in coma right now or something

Does anyone else think that nobara is waiting in the background with the last finger for resonance and Rika stole yujis technique and not sukunas?

i'd like to imagine that gege will take back his word and atleast keep the two best bois alive

I think the merger is still there as a gigantic wildcard. It can change the balance of everything, depending how it goes.

Jjk is so tragic and sad. Although it’s a good manga/anime. It’s extremely sad bc of all of the deaths 😢

I’ve always assumed they the default color is blue and cursed get different colors like mahito and sukunas and the only exception to this being yuta which is presumably due to him being bound to rika

I can see Megumi doing something where he takes his own life just to take down Sukuna as well. I feel that would make the most sense after maybe a prep talk from Yuji.

I feel like don't understand that in 2:30 he said that gojo will come back in 9 peice meaning that yuji will probaly die becuase of that but really great trheory idk

It's either Yuji lives and everyone dies, or everyone but Gojo lives (or maybe nobara)

Do you think the time vessel association and kenjaku are related somehow?

Naaa Nobara is might not be dead! Remember before the Shinjuku showdown started, Ijin and Shoko told Gojo that someone wasn't fully recovered from after Shibuya. Also Nitta's line about her not confirmed dead. I doubt she's dead.

Perhaps the reason everyone gets those moments with Sukuna, is because of Yuji's vow in the beginning. Those words linger on

I’ve been living from the last video he’s talking about I’ve been stuck just reading trying to figure out who it would be. If Yuji lives though I can see him being like Gojo, teaching new students and killing curses that appear, there probably won’t be any more Sukuna’s but he’ll kill them anyway

Anyone speak about how what once worked doesn't other times and how they play with that? ETC Yuji, Nobora tag team in season one vs season 2.

I'd say megumi's death is more obvious, and gege knows we all prefer yuji. And because he said he kills characters when he knows it will cause sorrow, i believe yuji is gonna die. It also makes more sense to me personally, and also because megumi has already given up on life i really see the author doing something like even when he doesn't want to live he is forced to, I don't know if yall understand what i mean but yeah this will be my contribution to this subject.

@mananimist I think you have went the opposite of my thought patterns given the subject; i believe this confirms nobara's life and gojo's death. Gojo's whole thing as the honored one was making the next generation not need him and that has been happening! All the students in just 2 years have almost reached special grade and in the beginning we only have 3 and then geto and yuta swap for the spot. I also believe that when they showed us that geto can fight against his own body that was a giant indicator of how sukuna will get stopped. Megumi will gain control to stop sukuna at a crucial time. Probably though Yuji talk-ino-jutsu that will break him out of his emo phase

So, Sukuna is using the ten shadows technique to armament 'shrine' due to Gojo destroying parts of it, and as not to leave it defenseless, just covered it in the beasts in an amalgamation similar to Agito. The hole in it is probably from where Gojo shot Sukuna into it with Reversal Red. If Sukuna has shrine destroyed, even once, could be potentially breaking a binding vow that could cause him to lose, that's why he's putting in the effort to protect it so well, instead of using the ten shadows technique to attack with the shadows individually, they're all used to guard shrine. 🤔

hey. i have a question. how was sukuna able to summon mahoraga in shinjuku even tho he killed it in shibuya? i thought u can't bring back shikigami after they've been destroyed?

Yuji will live. Sadly megumi sacrifices his life for yuji. Yuji becomes the new Gojo.

maybe since yuta knew inumaki would do that he blocked his ears with cursed energy

If nobara was technically alive, on the very very edge of death and that stasis injuries wont get worse cursed technique kept her there, nobara could be considered alive. That only gets proven if she makes a return, however. those notes about the authors language refering to nobara and nanami as 'departed' rather than dead, maybe thats jyst gege saying that they went to an afterlife when the geto people didnt lmao. And also, why would nanami be on the list of departeds if they could be brought back? Maybe theres a lingering soul in the dead body of nobara, stuck there because the no worse wounds cursed technique and then gets revived somehow due to merger shenanigans since shes still technically there? Nobara inversly could be proven not to be dead right before the end of the story in some big reveal if both yuji and megumi both live

What if Megumi will be the sole survivor, but only technically, because Sukuna would win?

alr i made up this theory while high on that Nobara copium so that's why this theory might be insane but hear me out. Yuta dies to sukunas hands, leaving gojos body lifeless once more, and then a few chapters later, yuji defeats sukuna, giving his life for megumi's. But after everything megumi went through, he kills himself. Then the POV switches to a hospital bed, but half of the view is just black. Then we see Nobara sitting in a hospital bed, on life support. after a while of rehabilitation, she goes back to Jujutsu High, to see everyone only to find out from the people still alive, that Gojo, Yuji, and Megumi are dead. So then Nobara falls into a depressed state, and moves back to the country side with her parents (If she has parents) I know I didn't cook with this so you guys don't have to tell me that

I am just wondering how sukuna would kilm takaba because he is unkillable right because of his ct.

this guy has everyone fooled thinking he's not actually gege akutami

Bro why is nobody talking about Gojo being the only one dead and the others are going to survive possibility??

Ive been saying this for over a year now but yuji is going to evolve into a form similar to sukuna through the blood manipulation CT and the other DWP. After that megumi and yuji will swap souls and megumi will kill sukuna. This would make megumi the new sukuna bringing the story full circle with the first page of chapter 1 being title ryoumen sukuna with the face of megumi. This would cement sukuna as the strongest only being able to be defeated by himself and teaching him love. It would also complete yorozu’s quote “Unrivaled strength and the solitude that comes with it, the one who will teach you love is a curse born from it.” And whats the greatest from of love if not imitation? Just like gojo with toji or yuta and his CT.

4:14 Well, Kugisaki’s fate was determined ( i hope she is alive 💀).Yuji can’t die since he is the MC . Megumi is in Sukuna (Alive) , AND IM STILL WAITING FOR GOJO’s RETURN 🙏😭 (Gojo will be the third character to be alive and then only Nobara will die 😁😭 |İTS STILL BAD|

its crazy how gojo commented at how yuji outfit has a hood and we never see him wear said hood.

Yattaaaaaa made it on time bby let's gooooooo

i'm coping so hard rn i WANT it to be the former ("one will die") i NEED it to be the former but knowing jujutsu kaisen and gege there is a 0% chance he's actually gonna make it the former (hopefully if it is the former it's gojo or nobara who's dead, but still either one is bad)

I could see yuji dying, and then megumi taking gojo’s place as the strongest by fully harnessing the ten shadows technique. I could also see their deaths motivating him to become a leader and proactively change jujutsu society so there wouldn’t have to be a strongest… like his benefactor, gojo 🥺

What if megumi has been the actual MC the whole time? He is the very first character shown in chapter 1 of the manga. . .

The fact is gojo can and should return We know he’s still in there somewhere bc geto was still in there when kenjaku had his body as shown in season 2 Only reason geto didn’t come back was bc kenjaku surprised him yuta wouldn’t surprise gojo Plus why even show geto was still in there if it led no where only answers are either to for shadow someone else regaining their body after it’s been taken (gojo) or to show geto was planned to return at some point but that story line got dropped I think gojo will retake his body for a few minutes and then fully die plus Gojos death just isn’t a good enough death for his character so imo if he doesn’t comeback it’s only because gege hates us (I could also see him coming back and being the only one left but I don’t want that) As for Nobara my main issue with her not coming back is her death wasnt convincing enough the one guy stoping her injuries from getting worse, the injury doesn’t seem like enough to kill her, other deaths being way clearer etc I’m sure you’ve all heard a bunch of different reasons why she could still be alive I feel she just won’t comeback bc she’s pretty weak, it’s been to long, and other then me wanting her to comeback there’s no reason for it to happen But I 100% believe at some point he planned on bringing her back or at least left it open incase he ever wanted to either way Imo the way gege treats his characters is really bad and seemingly drops storylines often

No! Yuji's Grandfather CURSED him thats the whole message. When someone dies they can Curse you with their last words in JJK, like Yuta to Rika, or Nanami to Yuji. Yuji broke the curse of Nanami by learning to fight for his own ideals vs Mahito. Nanami wasn't able to fight for his personal ideals because he was plagued by the death of his friends and the weight of JJS. Causing him to die without achieving a single life goal. Yuji breaks this with the help of Todo and accepts who he is. He is a being whose role is to extinguish curses and save those that he can. No matter what the enemy, no matter the circumstances, he will never lose sight of his personal ideals. Yuji now has a more discerning curse to break, the one of his Grandfather.

What if both Megumi and Itadori dies by the conclusion of the battle and we have a scene where Nobara is shown recovering in a hospital visited by Saori?

Crazy theory what if with the 1 will live thing since nobara is confirmed gone i think yuji last minute swap into his body snd megumi live through yujis body since his original body brain is already cooked and yuji saving him and "dying his respectable death"

Nobara gonna come back we got to cope 😭🙏

Yuji indirectly helped those around him he gave gojo the dream he ever wanted to fight someone stronger, while nobara till the very end told yuji it was fun

I wanna say that all but one will live purely because that seems like the least predictable ending

This 6 eyes give Gojo the ability to calculate cursed energy and minimize the loss of cursed energy. Sukuna has mastery over cursed energy and enough in the tank to pull off what Gojo is able to do

Personally my theory is that Megumi is going to be the one who dyes because back in season 1 when Yuji dyed and he told Megumi to Have a long life i think Megumi is going to say the same thing to Yuji as his last words to him

Hopefully Megumi lives on as Sukuna's host.

if megumi stays it will be entire new season of jjk. if yuji lives it will be joever for jjk

megumi deserves more than a wasted treasure

Pls a yuji nd megumi reunion before death😭😭😭😭

One thing is clear that Gege always tries to surprise the readers somehow so I don't think it's going to be simple as that and currently I feel like Gege will make Sukuna hop to Yugo's(Yuta+Gojo) body.

4:40 Gege knows what he did there, he is trolling

If megumi could somehow separate from sukuna for only a brief moment, could he enter a ritual with himself and magoraga and sukuna? Inside sukuna?

arent the six eyes both a physical trait and a curse?

What if megumi and yuji survived. Maybe the meaning of death is not only physical. Maybe mental too. So. They both survived. But one of them feel failed. And given up.

Yuji living is the worst case scenario I’d hate to see it. We would all be happy as the audience but we all know Yuji would be extremely depressed.

I have been saying that the final battle of JJK will be Megumi vs Yuji. I do believe that Sukuna is done, in addition to Yuta. Sukuna will be extracted from Megumi because Hana is still alive ( Jacob’s Ladder ). With Megumi facing all of that trauma and being bathed in cursed energy, he should become the new antagonist after Culling Games.

The punishment for Sukuna trying to use World Cutting Slash without pointing is that the attack will fail. Now that I think about it, Sukuna did not use his hand sign for the WCS against Yuta. It is still debatable if that was a WCS but considering that it cut Yuta so badly despite Sukuna being heavily nerfed and despite Yuta's noticeably stronger defense, I would lean towards it being a WCS. If so, it would mean Sukuna has started to use subtraction on the WCS. Remember it was stated that mastery of jujutsu is the extent to which you can bypass the requirements of a technique when using it. Sukuna has gotten to the point where he is bypassing the chants and or the hand signs for using WCS. If so, Sukuna just has to point (because of the binding vow) at Yuta and then cut him in two again. Most people will call this another asspull but the whole thing had been set up right from the time he used WCS on Yuta and Maki. He did not use hand signs for both of those WCS.
