    I'm amazed by Megumi's story, so full of potential, a limited view of himself, a man with morals that stunt his growth, a troubled child, and a really sad person. I've felt lack of self-worth many times and only thanks to others do I find it.

      Dang never really thought about it like that. Like the whole picture really tells something new when you look at Megumi as a person rather just looking at his traits individually.
      Honestly when I look at him like that, he reminds me of myself. And I think alot of readers could probably relate to his character more if they looked at him like that.

      Lowkey, Megumi reminds me of Killua in a way. Killua was always pretty strong but due to Illumi's needle, he had thought very little of himself. Megumi internalized the fact that he could be less of a sorcerer and due to that lack of confidence, he doesn't believe he can be more than he already is.

    I'm glad Megumin is getting the recognition he deserves, he has so much to offer in JJK even the fact that Akutami originally wanted him to be the main character somewhat says alot. I hope Megumi comes back very soon so we see him and Yuji take on Sukuna both together. Not to mention Megumi being praised and blessed by two of the strongest sorcerers in history and today is a indicator that Megumi was born for greatness and destined for more.

    If there is a continuation of jjk, it better be about this guy. I feel like Megumi is the character that could become the real redeemer of the jujutsu world. Maybe the reversal of the 10 shadows could be the 7 lights, and we see the opposite of curses... blessings. Just a thought... maybe i should write my own story instead of hoping for someone else's to be how my mind sees things.

    I was kinda mad on how they used megumi. I mean he was like the perfect weapon against gojo for sukuna to use. I respect the fact that we could see early in the series during the sukuna vs megumi fight that sukuna knew right away he was the key to stopping gojo. So it was devastating to see that he was basically just a weapon sukuna needed to fight the one guy megumi respected the most. A pawn for sukuna to use. That was a sad day for megumi fans like me.

    Finally, a good analysis of his character without a "man up dude! You just lost your will to fight. That's not a big deal!" message!
    I agree with most you are saying, besides one thing: Megumi didn't choose to be more negativ about himself, imo.
    He is a character who resembles a lot of a depression state known as dysthymia. People effected by it are naturally negativ. They aren't in a real depression, but their mentality is naturally more negativ than by normal people and because of that, they get way easier too a depression.
    Megumis negativity from a very young age is very telling for that. It's very unusual for a child to be so negativ and to not care about him/herself safty or happyness. Him only asking for Tsumikis safty and happyness on its own shows he already sees no hope for himself. He shouldn't be so negativ, when someone comes to him and tells him he will bring him and his sister out of their miserable life. Shows he is naturally negativ. But there is also his 10 shadows technique.
    What I love about Jjk is that the ability of a character is also heavyly effecting their mentality. Like Getos technique had a awful tast, which he had to endure. It brought him done and was a part of his downfall. Megumis technique is heavy. Everything in his shadow will become a heavy weight for him to carry. He already has 10 shikigami in his shadow from the beginning. We find that out in his fight against Reggie. We also find out, how it feels like to be in Megumis shadow. When Reggie falls in his shadow he can't get out on his own. The shadow itself is heavy and drags everything in it down. It means Megumi also gets dragged down from his own shadow.
    So no, I don't see Megumi choosing to be negativ all the time. He got cursed by nature.

    @joecroft4274 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

    It’s very interesting how expression of emotions is so deeply rooted in JJK’s narrative but also it’s world. Curses come from feeling intensely negative emotions and that’s where their source of strength comes from as well. The greater the emotion, the greater the curse. Both Yuji and Megumi go about limiting their intense emotions through different means, Yuji confronts them head on and doesn’t hide from his feelings, he’s able to express them in a way that allows himself to grow beyond them and move past them. Megumi never takes that first step and bottles it up inside himself which is why I think he ultimately fails to save Sumiki. His inability to confront his inner demons is exactly why curses are so strong. People don’t like to look inside themselves or confront the cause of their negative emotions because they hold a lot of the same mindset as Megumi to a lesser extent. This develops their characters as they’ve experienced similar trauma but because of the way they go about it their resolves are wildly different from one another. After losing his mentor and female friend whilst also causing the deaths of thousands by his own hands, Yuji is broken but able to still find a way to keep moving forward. Megumi on the other hand remains broken indefinitely as he is had been unable to express himself choosing to favour a nihilistic facade over being vulnerable. In an ironic way. Yuji’s allowance of himself to be vulnerable at loss or express himself in a vulnerable way has made him effectively invulnerable with unshakable will, whereas Megumi choosing to not openly feel emotions and not be affected by anything has made him the most emotionally vulnerable and tormented character in the series.

  • @re4558
    @re4558 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    I'm glad you specifically noted Megumi has low self worth. This gets confused a lot with low self confidence, but Megumi seems pretty sure that, in a pinch, he can indeed "go all in" and at least severely inconvenience his opponent. He just intends to sacrifice himself in the process. He knows he has potential, but his lack of self worth prevents him from tapping it, almost as if he wishes all that potential was given to someone else.
    Always enjoy your thoughtful analyses.

    Despite the fact that Megumi isn't even really around, I think Sukuna v Gojo really shows what would of happened if Megumi didn't get taken over by Sukuna. If he had just tamed all the ten shadows, he could have been honestly in par with someone like Gojo. This is kinda proven by Gojo talking about the 6 eyes and ten shadows users' fight all those years ago where they both end up losing. But Megumi didn't care about himself, and as we see, self confidence is the road to power in JJK

    Someone finally says that he is traumatised since his childhood. The fact he doesnt even care about his father anymore explains that he still thinks that his father left him because Toji didnt find any value in him and his father doesnt like him. The fact that he had to mature up at such a young age, and had to initiate to protect his sister at such a young age, even Gojo was surprised to see how matured Megumi was already at the age of 6. Its really sad that a fandom cares more about powers than a character's depth. A lot has to be also blamed on Gege, he didnt give Megumi enough screentime for the fans to empathise with him. So most stupid fans in jjk doesnt see the character's depth.

    He was always a sorcerer, but he never cared about jujutsu, it was just a means to an end for someone else. Never for his own personal satisfaction.

    Yep, fantastic as expected. I really loved how you talked about having a sense of self, because that's something that I started really thinking about after Sukuna's praise of Todo during his reappearance and it really lines up so well with the story.
    From my interpretation, having a strong sense of self, really understanding and KNOWING the individual that you are, is one of if not the most important thing for realizing your potential as a Jujutsu Sorcerer. When you examine the characters, it makes SO much sense looking at it this way, too.
    You already mentioned Yuji, Sukuna, and Gojo and these three characters are all great examples of sorcerers with an undeniable sense of self and identity. In particular, Yuji and Gojo actually become STRONGER as they start to understand themselves better, just like how you mentioned with Megumi letting his shadow out. Even Sukuna during his fights has moments where he becomes stronger because he's presented with things that TEST his very sense of self and his ideals - people like Gojo "The New Age Strongest" in his eyes, and Maki, a person "whose very nature defies Jujutsu Sorcery"
    Something that I started really thinking about though, was how much this applies to so many other characters in the story. All of the strongest sorcerers in the series, the ones able to reach their true potential, share this same undeniable sense of Self. Mei Mei, Yuki, Geto, Kenjaku, Yuta, Todo, Nanami. These are characters who understand themselves, both as people, and as sorcerers. I don't know if this was something Gege was going for, but I love this interpretation regardless! Great video 👌

    If anything megumi coming back would fill the Ryomen Sukuna role since it’s a title not a name apparently. He’s now officially had the most of sukunas CE running through his body and definitely the most time under fighting tension and sense apparently the host retain the muscle memory of the symbiote which is basically what he is in finger form on top of the upgrades that sukuna gave to his remaining 10 shadows which might just come back to life with his chimera shadow garden who knows 🤷🏽‍♂️ it’s incomplete so maybe once he comes back and gets his awakening he can revive them all in the shadow garden or fuse them for that big skeleton thing. Back to my original message tho hopefully he snaps and becomes the new big bad guy to stand against yujis ultimate good. Just to keep the cycle going of the 2 strongest being ideologically opposed to avoid the most over used shonen finisher with the world being saved 😂

    Unfortunately for Megumi and all young men, to realize your true potential is going to take suffering. The greater the potential the more you will have to overcome, whatever happens happens. It's all about your perspective of growth, do you see your life as a burden? Or maybe a means of achieving the greatest honor any of us can hope for? To be loved for who we really are and touch the lives of the people we care for. PEACE 🎉

    People who make fun of or criticize Megumin are missing the point. By not putting themselves in his shoes they make it laughable easy to judge him when those same people would crumble on the spot if they lost even one person who’s close to them. Nothing he went through makes it easy to bounce back so quickly yet at all. Speaking from experience. Losing loved ones changes you and your motivation.

    A realization came to me, it's probably summed up or said in this video but, it's the fact that megumi isn't able to get to his strongest sense of self because he was too busy trying to survive as a child, he wasn't able to form a sense of self outside of how worthless he was to his father and people caring about him goes against what he knows

      Okay, read it now. I think I'm kind of upset that as of right now (There's like 5 chapters left) we never got to see a fully realized Chimera Shadow Garden. At the same time, I don't know if it would have been as satisfying for the reasons you mentioned. If he ever actually hit that ceiling, would it have been within character, I doubt it. Part of me feels like he deserves to cook a little bit after all the shit he just went through though!

    I think the most repressed part of Megumi isn't his anger it's his compassion. He just actively represses any compassion for people he deems "bad" compared to tsumiki even himself.
    He's genuinely fascinating as he operates on his own moral compass and its endlessly compassionate/forgiving when it comes to people he deems "good" like yuji, tsumiki, yuta, maki but he completely shuts down that part of himself when it comes to toji or himself or Reggie or remi and thus has to rely on tsumiki's moral beliefs.
    Everyone else has a consistent moral compass but not him.

    • @samehere310
      @samehere310 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I love Megumi, it’s just that I believe Gege messed up what Megumi would actually say to Yuji when he tried to bring him back from Sukuna.
    He made Megumi sound as if he didn’t care about the lives that he cares for were being taken, the same lives that are fighting for his sake.
    I understand that being bathed in the pool on top of having the death of his sister and Gojo would make him unable to get up and fight, but it seemed like he was UNWILLING to, like he didn’t care anyone else would die even though they’re fighting for him against the greatest threat ever.
    I wish he said something along the lines of “I’m sorry, but I just can’t, Yuji.”
    Because with this, Megumi’s would be consistent even in this moment where he’s absolutely shattered.
