Kenjaku’s master plan, the merger of Tengen with humankind, hath lingered in the hearts and minds of Jujutsu Kaisen aficionados, a tale as ancient as time itself, spanning over a millennium. The ‘Culling Game’, a ritual of great significance, hath been set in motion to pave the way for this union. Yet, as we draw nigh to the denouement of the Jujutsu Kaisen saga, anticipation reacheth a fever pitch as fans eagerly await the verdict on whether the merger shall come to pass. But lo, I bring forth evidence to convinceth thee that the much-anticipated merger is but a mere figment of imagination in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Let us delve into the facts.
Spoilers Warning:
Anon, heed my words and proceed with caution, for this discourse containeth copious spoilers from the annals of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, most notably from the chapters chronicling the Culling Game and Shinjuku Showdown.
JJK Fans Hath Awaited the Merger With Bated Breath
Ere we unravel the reason why the merger shall forever remain elusive, allow me to regale thee with a quick recap of the essence of this merger. Dost thou remember Kenjaku, the nefarious villain who didst pilfer Geto’s corporeal vessel and orchestrate a symphony of pandemonium from the genesis of this epic tale? His singular ambition hath ever been the integration of Tengen with mortal kind.
He didst delineate a grandiose plan to meld Master Tengen with the non-sorcerers of Nippon, ushering forth a monstrous curse into our realm. It was his desire to achieve two feats with a singular stroke – to harness the cursed energy to its utmost potential and to satiate his insatiable curiosity regarding the being borne of this merger.
Thus, the mad sorcerer didst bring forth the Culling Game, a macabre contest to fuel the process of amalgamation. Alas, his ambition was left unfulfilled as Yuta Okkotsu didst vanquish him before the commencement of this cataclysmic event.
Only Megumi Doth Possess the Power to Initiate the Inevitable
Kenjaku had forged diverse rules to sustain the Culling Game and reach the culmination of the merger. Ever ten steps ahead, he didst envision a scenario where he met his demise. Thus, he didst devise a contingency plan to bestow the authority to initiate the merger upon another should his own demise come to pass. When Yuta didst defeat Kenjaku, the mantle of power passed unto Megumi Fushiguro in chapter 248.
At that juncture, Ryomen Sukuna didst inhabit Megumi’s corporeal form, granting the King of Curses the ultimate power to trigger the merger. This cunning plan, crafted by Kenjaku, entrusted Sukuna with the task of overcoming the sorcerers. Alas, fate had other designs in store.
In the clash against Sukuna in Shinjuku, Itadori Yuji didst awaken his true cursed technique, lay bare his domain, and triumph over the King of Curses, liberating Megumi from his control. By virtue of the newly added rule in the Culling Game, the authority to commence the merger now resteth with Megumi rather than Sukuna.
With Megumi’s corporeal form and spirit no longer ensnared by Sukuna and his faculties restored, we can assert with utmost certainty that Megumi shall never opt to trigger the merger in his lifetime.
I hath unearthed this pivotal rule whilst revisiting the Shinjuku Showdown arc during the weekend, musing that many amongst the JJK enthusiasts may hath overlooked this crucial detail, transferring the authority to Megumi. Thus, I proffer this irrefutable evidence from the realm of Gege Akutami’s creation as a gentle reminder, underscoring the slim prospects of the merger coming to fruition, especially with but a pair of chapters left in our odyssey.
I comprehend that myriad souls within the JJK community didst yearn to witness Kenjaku’s grand culmination, yet Akutami sensei hath seemingly forsaken it in favor of a denouement that resurrecteth (alas, nearly all) the fallen.
That being articulated, pray tell, dear reader, dost thou still harbor hope for the merger to transpire in Jujutsu Kaisen? I shall eagerly await thy musings in the comments below.
