Jujutsu Kaisen: Best Quotes By Megumi Fushiguro

There are plenty of reasons as to why Jujutsu Kaisen is regarded as one of the best Shōnen anime & manga of the moment. With one of them being its memorable cast of complex characters, from series protagonist Yuji Itadori, all the way to the mighty Satoru Gojo. And one of the most popular characters in the series is definitely Megumi Fushiguro.

Ever since his introduction back in the first chapter, it has been evident that Megumi is a smart and cold person who has an enormous sense of responsibility. He almost always knows what he’s talking about, which has led to Megumi being responsible for some of the cleverest and most inspiring quotes in all of Jujutsu Kaisen.

8 “But I Don’t Want To Let Him Die”

Showing His Softer Side

Despite his “tough guy” façade, Megumi is actually a nice guy who knows how to read other people. That’s exactly why he said this to Satoru Gojo when discussing Itadori’s fate. He knew that, even if the prospect of awakening Sukuna was dangerous, he would try his hardest to let his new friend live at the same time.

This was an interesting quote, since all the audience knew about Megumi by that point was that he seemed like a cold and strong sorcerer. But this was their first glimpse of his real personality.

7 “It’s Not About Whether I Can. I Have To Do It.”

Aware Of His Responsibilities

One of Megumi’s biggest challenges was to confront Sukuna after the antagonist swapped bodies with Itadori. This is what he said to the King of the Curses right before their battle, showing that even when facing danger, Megumi knows exactly what his responsibilities are.

There are many reasons as to why someone may become a Jujutsu sorcerer and, in Megumi’s case, he believes that he has to use his immense power in order to save people from evils as big as Sukuna himself. This is quite moving for a character that seemed so distant at first.

6 “If Only More Good People Could Receive Fairness. I’ll Save People Whether Or Not It’s Fair!”

Megumi’s Real Motivations

Following his initial battle against Sukuna, Megumi keeps throwing around some of the most inspirational quotes in the series, stating how he’s determined to save as many people as he can, even if the world isn’t as fair as he wished.

Megumi’s life hasn’t been easy, so he knows exactly how unfair and cruel the world can be. But it’s encouraging to hear that he still wants to help people out as much as possible. This was most likely an influence from the man who saved his life and trained him, Satoru Gojo.

5 “I Will Become Stronger. I’ll Do Anything It Takes.”

Going To The Next Level

This is a feeling that Megumi shares with his classmate & friend, Nobara Kugisaki, right after the apparent death of Yuji Itadori. And it’s impressive because it shows a brand-new dimension to his character. How is it that one of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen so far apparently needs to get stronger?

Moments like these are what make Megumi Fushiguro such a likeable character because, even though he’s powerful, and he’s aware of it, he doesn’t let it go to his head. He’s aware of his flaws and his defeat against Sukuna reminded him that, if he gets stronger, he will be able to save more people, and even himself.

4 “I’ll Kill You If You Die Again!”

Afraid Of Losing His Friends

This is one of his most humorous quotes, which he says to Yuji Itadori when fighting a very powerful curse, right after it was revealed that he was alive and that he had been hiding from his classmates for months. The threat of killing someone if they die again is hilarious at first, but there’s some depth to this quote.

This threat just confirms how seriously Megumi feels about his friends. Even though he’s fully aware of how dangerous Jujutsu Society can be, he can’t help but grow attached to those who fight alongside him. So he’s not going to let them go easily, even if he’s a tad intense when saying it out loud.

3 “Never Mind! Bring Forth The Deepest Shadows And Don’t Worry About The Exact Form For Now. Just Push It Forward From Your Cursed Energy. Here We Go! Domain Expansion!”

Going Beyond His Limits

Just like any other action Shonen anime, the characters in Jujutsu Kaisen have a collection of characteristic phrases that they repeat when using attacks in battle. And, as a user of the Ten Shadows Technique, Megumi has a lot of good ones. But his very first attempt to summon a Domain Expansion was one of the highlights of this character.

When Megumi first fought a Finger Bearer curse, he couldn’t do anything to it. But he had been getting stronger ever since. So, when he fought another curse of this kind, he knew exactly how to exceed his limits and manifest an incomplete form of his Domain Expansion, known as Chimera Shadow Garden, in one of the series’ most amazing scenes.

2 “With This Treasure, I Summon Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga!”

Megumi’s Final Gambit

Many times during the course of the story, Megumi said the words “With this treasure…” in the middle of a battle, yet he was always interrupted. This built intrigue among the audience, who were eager to see which Shikigami was so powerful that Megumi felt like he needed to use it when fighting against the strongest of enemies.

But the Shibuya Arc finally answered this question, and it did not disappoint. Mahoraga is Megumi’s strongest Shikigami, to the point that not even he can fully control it. When Megumi recites this long and incredible incantation, he’s not only summoning a mighty creature, but he’s using his final ability. He’s going to extremes and basically sacrificing himself in order to save the world.

1 “We Aren’t Heroes Fighting For Justice. We’re Jujutsu Sorcerers. No One Can Ever Truly Judge Us, So We Must Continually Prove The Worth Of Our Existence. And We Don’t Have The Luxury Of Thinking About Ourselves. We’ve Just Got To Save People. I Believe That Was The Original Principle Of Your Actions. So Start By Saving Me Itadori.”

The Truth About Jujutsu Sorcerers

This is said to Yuji Itadori, when Megumi is trying to get him to return to Jujutsu High after the events of the Shibuya Arc. But his friend feels extremely guilty because of everything that happened, including when Sukuna forced him to kill a lot of innocent people. And this long yet impressive quote encapsulates Megumi Fushiguro’s character perfectly.

Despite his attitude, Megumi is a heroic sorcerer who wants to save everyone no matter what. However, he’s fully aware of how corrupt and unfair Jujutsu Society can be. They’re not heroes, and nobody can judge them if they fail to save people. But they also need to show how necessary they are for this society and to keep pushing forward, even if things get even worse. This concludes with Megumi asking Itadori for help to enter the Culling Games. And thankfully, these words were of great help to his good friend.
