Megumi Fushiguro is a very serious, dedicated character in Jujutsu Kaisen, and he has said some memorable quotes throughout the series.
There are plenty of reasons as to why Jujutsu Kaisen is regarded as one of the best Shōnen anime & manga of the moment. With one of them being its memorable cast of complex characters, from series protagonist Yuji Itadori, all the way to the mighty Satoru Gojo. And one of the most popular characters in the series is definitely Megumi Fushiguro.
Ever since his introduction back in the first chapter, it has been evident that Megumi is a smart and cold person who has an enormous sense of responsibility. He almost always knows what he’s talking about, which has led to Megumi being responsible for some of the cleverest and most inspiring quotes in all of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Updated on September 11, 2024, by Julián Fernández Loyarte: It has been announced that the Jujutsu Kaisen manga is coming to an end in the next few weeks and, as a result, Megumi Fushiguro has finally returned to the story after an extremely long absence. In just a few new chapters, he has already said some interesting things that perfectly display his personality and motivations, which is especially emotional as the manga is slowly reaching its anticipated conclusion. So, three of those new recent quotes were added to the list. The Featured Image of this article has also been updated in order to reflect Megumi’s awaited return.11 “But I Don’t Want To Let Him Die”

Despite his “tough guy” façade, Megumi is actually a nice guy who knows how to read other people. That’s exactly why he said this to Satoru Gojo when discussing Itadori’s fate. He knew that, even if the prospect of awakening Sukuna was dangerous, he would try his hardest to let his new friend live at the same time.
This was an interesting quote, since all the audience knew about Megumi by that point was that he seemed like a cold and strong sorcerer. But this was their first glimpse of his real personality.10 “It’s Not About Whether I Can. I Have To Do It.”

One of Megumi’s biggest challenges was to confront Sukuna after the antagonist swapped bodies with Itadori. This is what he said to the King of the Curses right before their battle, showing that even when facing danger, Megumi knows exactly what his responsibilities are.
There are many reasons as to why someone may become a Jujutsu sorcerer and, in Megumi’s case, he believes that he has to use his immense power in order to save people from evils as big as Sukuna himself. This is quite moving for a character that seemed so distant at first.9 “If Only More Good People Could Receive Fairness. I’ll Save People Whether Or Not It’s Fair!”

Following his initial battle against Sukuna, Megumi keeps throwing around some of the most inspirational quotes in the series, stating how he’s determined to save as many people as he can, even if the world isn’t as fair as he wished.
Megumi’s life hasn’t been easy, so he knows exactly how unfair and cruel the world can be. But it’s encouraging to hear that he still wants to help people out as much as possible. This was most likely an influence from the man who saved his life and trained him, Satoru Gojo.8 “I Will Become Stronger. I’ll Do Anything It Takes.”

This is a feeling that Megumi shares with his classmate & friend, Nobara Kugisaki, right after the apparent death of Yuji Itadori.
