This is what I have been waiting for in the entire gojo vs sukuna fight! For sukuna to go OG form and finally wield that gift from yorozu! He is now showing his whole bag of tricks! This means we are getting closer in seeing what megumi is doing in the void! I'm telling y’all when megumi emerges from the abyss i will be here. Trust.
Sukuna transforming doesnt mean that megumi aint coming back when that guy transformed back when he bit hana’s arm off. This is a magic manga, Megumi will find a way. Transforming back to his og body has been something that sukuna was able to do right from the start - he was just intentionally not doing it until now. When gojo set that date for their fight, there is no way in hell he wasn't expecting to fight sukuna’s og form in shinjuku. He literally gave sukuna the chance to go full power on him by delaying their fight for a month. That was why he asked sukuna why he was still using megumi’s face at the beginning of the fight, he was expecting to fight the og form of sukuna back then. The whole gang was expecting him to fight in his og form (fully incarnated) yet they still had a plan. Yuta, yuuji and Maki all have something cooking - they just need to weaken sukuna first. Maki has that soul liberation sword (which could potentially kill Megumi’s soul too, lmao) and Yuuji has that soul swapping ability (which we know nothing about yet) and yuta is a copy ninja - gege can literally pull anything out of his ass and he can just explain it away with “well, he copy stuff. Idk” Yuta has been away for a long time, he has a lot in his bag that we haven’t seen yet.
When megumi wins his body back he can transform it back to the shape of HIS soul. This unsmiling, urchin looking, grumpy boi is coming back - one way or another. Megumi is just chilling in the void right now, let’s just let sukuna have his 1vs1 for now.
The chances of yuuji dying back when he ate sukuna’s finger was high as fuck, but because of plot he lived and was in fact a custom made cage for sukuna all along. When sukuna force fed Megumi that freshly made cursed finger - the chances of him dying right then and there was also high as fuck. But somehow, Megumi was able to hold sukuna without his body imploding on the spot. We will see Megumi fight back y’all, it's just not his time to shine right now.
I know it feels like forever but megumi has only been possessed for 25 chapters, more than half of that chapter is just sukuna and gojo having a bromance in Shinjuku, while the other half are the students figuring out how to release gojo from jail. Sukuna has been after megumi’s body since chapter 10 and he only got it in chapter 212, of course megumi won't be able to free himself that quickly in just 25 chapters! A lot of shit is gonna go down first. I'm no longer on the gege train when it comes to his characterization but when it comes to oonga boonga fights, that guy never miss (much). The set up for megumi’s fight is just not happening yet, and won't be until later chapters. Right now it's kashimo’s time to shine, and maybe later we will see hakari vs uraume too. I may no longer trust gege that we will get a proper send off for megumi (or anyone for that matter), but i trust that we will see megumi fight - even if it's the last time.
If/when Megumi dies we will see him in his own airport having 1vs1 with toji while tsumiki eats some pop corn on the side with their mom singing kumbaya in the background. Everyone that died had some final words to say before leaving, gege will not do this to my boy meg mi. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Remember when sukuna said “there are consequences in being too greedy” (or something like that) - right now, this is him being greedy. Possessing a body that he (apparently) didn’t need to win. This greedy bastard wanted 10s so bad he orchestrated an elaborate plan, gambled with his life at stake - just to take it. And now his getting power ups left and right. He is getting too greedy, retributions are in order. I shall sit here and await his downfall. For now, enjoy the fights - I guess? This is a sorcery battle manga after all.
