Is Megumi Fushiguro Dead? Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Drops a Hint

The sequel series Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo has just wrapped up with its 25th chapter, and it left fans with a lot to think about. Set in the year 2086, the story takes place nearly seven decades after the massive events of the original series. While the plot focuses on new characters like the Okkotsu siblings, Yuka and Tsurugi, a brief hint about the original cast has caught everyone’s attention.

In this future timeline, it appears that Megumi Fushiguro is no longer around. The final chapter strongly suggests he passed away sometime during the 68 years following the Sukuna raid. The manga does not actually explain how or when he died, which leaves his ultimate fate as a big mystery for the community to debate. This silence on his final moments has sparked plenty of theories among readers who were hoping for a clearer ending.

Written by Gege Akutami and illustrated by Yuji Iwasaki, this sequel has always felt different from the main story. By skipping so far ahead, it shows us a world heavily changed by the aftermath of the Culling Game. While we get to see how the next generation lives, the lack of closure for someone as important as Megumi feels like a heavy reveal for longtime fans.

For now, this is the end of the road for the Modulo storyline. Fans are left wondering if there will ever be a clearer answer about what happened to the rest of the original Tokyo High students. Even though the series is over, the discussions about Megumi’s legacy and his life after the war are likely to continue for a long time.
