Jujutsu Kaisen: All 8 abilities Megumi may have learned from Sukuna being in his body

In Jujutsu Kaisen, the complex relationship between Megumi Fushiguro and Sukuna reveals a dramatic turn of events. It gives good ground to speculate on the potential abilities that Megumi could have absorbed from such a dark influence. Having implanted his soul into Megumi, Sukuna seized control of him.

This period of possession hints at a range of abilities Megumi might have learned, reflecting Sukuna's extensive repertoire of curse techniques and battle strategies.

Following a pivotal confrontation and driven by his will, Megumi freed himself from Sukuna's grasp. As a result, he might have acquired eight abilities from Sukuna’s time in his body.

All eight skills Megumi might have acquired from Sukuna residing within him in Jujutsu Kaisen

1) Self-application of Shikigami abilities

During Sukuna's possession, Megumi observed and experienced various shikigami techniques, including Max Elephant’s water manipulation, Mahoraga’s wheel, and Round Deer’s reverse cursed technique.

In application, this could involve the placing of Shikigami powers directly on himself, greatly increasing his versatility and effectiveness.

2) Potential mastery of Shrine

During Sukuna’s time in Megumi’s body, he repeatedly used his Shrine technique, which involves unleashing powerful invisible slashes and hellfire arrows. It is possible that Meguma absorbed some of the mastery of the shrine.

Meguni can potentially comprehend its usage and control. The Shrine can make him more effective in battles where such destructive techniques must be used.

3) Advanced use of Reverse Cursed Technique

Like Shrine, Sukuna frequently used the Reverse Cursed Technique to recover and regenerate while inside Megumi's body. Having witnessed Sukuna's expertise, Megumi most likely acquired advanced knowledge of RCT, which includes techniques for healing physical injuries and potentially even his soul.

Sukuna's use of the Reverse Cursed Technique, such as his rapid limb regeneration and soul repair could have given Megumi profound insights.

4) Improved Domain Expansion skills

When Sukuna took over Megumi's body, he often used his Domain Expansion, Malevolent Shrine, and the anti-domain technique called Hollow Wicker Basket. By experiencing these techniques, Megumi likely learned about Domain Expansions and their countermeasures.

As Sukuna uses the techniques more in the story, Megumi will further understand how these techniques work mechanically and methodically in Jujutsu Kaisen.

5) Enhanced soul perception

The other skill Megumi may have gained from Sukuna during his possession is the outlines of souls. Yuji Itadori gained this ability after sharing a body with Sukuna, so Megumi might have also developed a heightened perception from their prolonged connection.

This would give Megumi the ability to perceive the essence of souls and, therefore, attack or hurt them directly. Enhanced Perception includes abilities such as accelerated thought process, location analysis, and emotion regulation.

6) Boosted physical strength and combat skills

During Sukuna’s control of Megumi's body, it underwent tremendous stress and significant changes, particularly when Sukuna manifested in the form of the Heian Era. This intense strain likely hardened Megumi’s muscles and enhanced his overall physical attributes.

In addition, the repeated and extensive practice of Sukuna's hand-to-hand combat skills during his time may have also seared a lasting change. This could undoubtedly leave Megumi with enhanced strength, durability, and refined combat skills. As a result, he may become an even more formidable fighter after being freed from Sukuna's control in Jujutsu Kaisen

7) Interaction with Tengen's power

Megumi might have gained insight into Tengen's powers since Sukuna had swallowed Master Tengen while in Megumi's body. This experience could undoubtedly leave Megumi with enhanced strength, durability, and refined combat skills. Consequently, after being freed from Sukuna's control in Jujutsu Kaisen, he might become a formidable fighter.

Now that Megumi is free, he may be able to move forward with the merger with Tengen or at least utilize aspects of Tengen's power for his own purposes. A bond of this nature could present new avenues regarding Megumi's abilities and strategies in future battles.

8) Increased chances of performing Black Flash

Megumi might have improved the ability to conduct Black Flash after being influenced by Sukuna. Sukuna conducted Black Flash several times, especially against Maki Zenin during the Shinjuku raid.

Having his body go through the technique once, the possibility that Megumi will constantly get Black Flash is much higher after he gets his freedom.

Final thoughts

Megumi Fushiguro, from Jujutsu Kaisen, might have learned skills of invaluable proportion after being possessed by Sukuna, placing him above other powerful Jujutsu sorcerers.

From new and complicated curse techniques to developing his physical strength, Megumi has definitely been remade as a sorcerer.
