The trauma he has experienced might drive him to the dark side.
Megumi’s fate might be the most mysterious topic in the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom now. There are dozens of theories and predictions about his ending, and we have already discussed some of them here and here.
However, there’s another theory that might be even more heartbreaking than just watching him mentally struggle after the fight is over or even seeing him die. Megumi might become the villain of the story.
He’s not like Yuji
To understand the basis of this theory, we need to talk about Yuji. He used to be the one sharing the body with Sukuna, and their coexistence was quite limited. Sukuna wasn’t in full control of the body and “came out” only at certain moments.
Still, this body situation managed to cause some significant mental damage to Yuji, and his breakdown was one of the most heartbreaking things during the Shibuya Incident Arc.
Megumi’s situation is even more worrisome. We won’t even mention the fact that we’re still unsure if he’s even alive after everything Sukuna has put him through, but let’s concentrate on his mental state.
There’s no doubt: Megumi is absolutely broken. Especially after what happened to his sister and Gojo. Sukuna managed to break his spirit and damage his soul and brain. A lot of fans suggest therapy for him if he’s ever to get rid of Sukuna, but there’s an opinion that it will hardly help.
Megumi cannot be saved
This idea leads us to a theory that Megumi might be beyond salvation. There’s still a chance that he can be separated from Sukuna, but a lot of fans doubt that he’ll ever be the same Megumi we used to know.
All the horrors and traumas Megumi has experienced might drive him to the dark side. He has been hurt so much that the only desire that is left in him is inflicting pain on others.
It may start like a typical revenge mission with the goal of hunting the cursed spirits, but after this much time being in this mental state, Megumi might stop seeing the difference between good and evil, and will just try to destroy everyone on his way.
This way Yuji and the others will have to fight Megumi and possibly even kill him, and such a brutal conclusion will be extremely fitting for the cruel world of Jujutsu Kaisen. But we’re not sure if we’re ready for that.
