Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 103: Shadow vs Core – Megumi and Noya Collide in a Final, Devastating Duel
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 103 opens at full throttle: Megumi Fushiguro, empowered by the darkest version of Chimera Shadow Garden, unleashes his ancestral Dark Shikigami to face the nightmarishly evolved Noya—now a cursed core spiraling toward meltdown.
Noya’s form is no longer stable. He shifts between phases of matter—solid, fluid, energy—and his attacks bend the battlefield itself. Every strike warps the air, and every movement sends shockwaves across the domain. His curse energy is so dense, it tears through dimensions, destabilizing even the cursed zone created by the Culling Game.
But Megumi is no longer fighting for survival. He’s fighting for closure.
Channeling both the Zen’in clan’s forgotten shadow techniques and his own cursed evolution, Megumi coordinates with the Dark Shikigami like a master tactician. Each move is deliberate. Each shadow trap is layered. He’s not just countering Noya—he’s orchestrating his destruction.
Meanwhile, Yuji provides backup, protecting Megumi from blindside attacks and using residual cursed energy from Toji’s seal to enhance his speed. The duo fights with a synchronized understanding—like brothers forged by war.
A standout moment comes when Noya, overwhelmed and cornered, tries to explode his cursed core in a suicide blast. But Megumi is ready. Using a forbidden sealing method, he fuses his shadow domain with the core, trapping Noya inside a black prison of pure cursed pressure.
In the final panel, Noya’s scream fades as he’s swallowed whole by shadow. Megumi, kneeling, exhausted, says:
“This ends with me. Not my father. Not Sukuna. Me.”
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 103 is a breathtaking, emotional crescendo. Gege Akutami delivers on the build-up of 10+ chapters of war, bloodline conflict, and identity crisis—with a payoff that’s both brutal and beautiful. Megumi has finally stepped into his own legend.
