Megumi Fushiguro (
Appearance
Megumi is a tall, dark-haired boy with light green eyes. He wears the standard uniform of Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College which consists of a long-sleeved shirt and a high collar of dark color, dark trousers and shoes.
Personality
While outwardly stoic and calculating, Megumi wishes to help protect people he sees as good or kind. He belives that the world is unfair and that a Shaman is a tool to ensure kind people are given more chances to live. Claiming it to be his selfish and irrational desire, he does not see himself as a hero for doing this. This belief that good people deserve saving motivated him to Yuji Itadori from immediate execution and refused to regret the choice even as Sukuna was about to kill him. The other side of his worldview is that he is quite callous when discussing the deaths of criminals and killers as he believes they are not saving.
He is also quite a secretive person, as shown when Nobara complains that Megumi hardly tells them anything about himself.
Abilities
Megumi entered the college as a Second Grade Shaman. He is considered to have high potential by Noritoshi Kamo, Mai Zenin, and even Sukuna. Sukuna notes that Megumi's willingness to use hand-to-hand combat makes him different from other Shikigami users. According to Satoru, Megumi has even more potential and skill than Yuji. He is able to use his physical attacks in combination with his Shikigami to entrap his opponent.
Physical Power
Although not as strong as Yuji, Megumi has been shown to possess a high level of physical proficiency. When he was in junior high, he beat up half the punks in the area.
Weapon Mastery
Megumi's technique makes it difficult for him to wield weapons at the same time, as his curse forms need both hands. He has started to train with polearms under Maki Zenin's training. He also once used tonfa to confront Noritoshi Kamo.
