Standing on the battlefield, bleeding, with half of his torso ripped, Toji Fushiguro recalled the memories of his wife and child. For the first time, fans of the series caught a glimpse of Megumi's mother. She held baby Megumi and smiled peacefully with her eyes closed.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 has done a fabulous job in terms of throwing light on the origin of Megumi Fushiguro's birth. However, there are still a lot of things that fans do not know about Megumi's mother, except that she died shortly after Megumi's birth.
Gege Akutami, the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, has confirmed the death of Megumi's biological mother in the extras of his manga volume nine. While mentioning the reason why Toji Fushiguro had become the person that he was, Akutami said:
"He (Toji) became unstable while with the Zen'in household but calmed down thanks to Megumi-mama. However, she died soon after Megumi was born, so Toji ended up like this."
Akutami hasn't elaborated on the cause of Megumi's mother's death. However, various theories from the fandom suggest that his mother probably died shortly after his birth from an illness. There's another possibility that she was probably assassinated by members of the Zenin clan.
However, it's a far-fetched idea because assassinating an outsider like Megumi's mother posits no merit for the Zenin Family. Therefore, the first scenario is the most likely conclusion that the fans of the series can come to.
Additionally, neither the Jujutsu Kaisen manga nor the anime revealed the name of Megumi's biological mother.
While Fushiguro seems to be the surname of Megumi's mother, Gege Akutami hasn't explicitly confirmed this. As a result, many fans feel that Fushiguro might be the name of Tsumiki's (Megumi's step-sibling's) mother.
Born without cursed energy, Toji was treated harshly by the Zenin Family and eventually became unstable. It was then that he met Megumi's mother, who changed his life.
She was the only woman whom Toji cared for and loved genuinely. Following her death, Toji became heartbroken and eventually married another woman (Tsumiki's mother). However, he couldn't feel the same, and that's why he left.
Gege Akutami also mentioned in the extras of Volume 9 of Jujutsu Kaisen that Toji Fushiguro was a womanizer. However, the fact that he seemed to remember his wife at the last moment of his life speaks a lot about how special Megumi's mother was to him.
