Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 109: Fractured Bonds – Megumi’s Soul on the Brink
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 109 is a devastating emotional and supernatural crescendo—a chapter where souls, curses, and loyalty collide. After Chapter 108’s soul-link ritual, Yuji is now spiritually tethered to Megumi… but the ancient cursed king Kogane-no-Ō is done waiting.
The chapter opens in a surreal spiritual landscape: Megumi floats between memory and oblivion, while Kogane’s voice calls him “vessel.” Dark roots from the cursed emperor begin binding his arms and legs, dragging him toward a massive, throne-shaped altar.
Yuji arrives in this inner world—his soul bleeding, his energy strained, but still tethered. He lunges toward Megumi, shadow chains wrapping around both of them as he screams:
“I told you I’d pull you back! I’m not letting go!”
Kogane, taking a humanoid cursed form, appears between them. He’s grotesque—crowned with talismans, eyes on his chest and palms, mouth splitting sideways with every syllable. He attacks Yuji’s spirit directly, trying to break the tether.
Meanwhile, Gojo, observing from the outside, feels the spiritual strain.
“They don’t have much time… If Yuji’s bond breaks, Megumi won’t come back.”
In a desperate moment, Yuji pulls out the cursed dagger given to him by Nanami—a blade forged to cut through illusions and curses of the soul. He slashes through the root binding Megumi’s heart, yelling:
“Wake up! You’re not his! You’re ours!”
The final page is stunning: the tether begins to glow with a golden hue, reacting with something inside Megumi—a spark of resistance, a fragment of identity untouched by Kogane.
Kogane snarls:
“He is already mine. You’re just slowing the inevitable.”
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 109 is emotional warfare. Gege Akutami explores not only the horror of possession but the power of chosen bonds. Yuji’s loyalty isn’t just heartwarming—it may be Megumi’s only hope.
