Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 110: Half Awake – Megumi Returns, But Kogane Lurks Within
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 110 opens in the aftermath of spiritual chaos. Thanks to Yuji’s soul-link ritual and desperate defiance, Megumi has finally awoken—but the cost of bringing him back is horrifyingly unclear.
As the chapter begins, Megumi lies quietly in the real world, his heartbeat slow but steady. Gojo and Shoko examine his cursed energy—only to discover that while Megumi’s core is stabilizing, it’s no longer purely his own.
“There’s a foreign curse lingering inside him… dormant, but alive,” Shoko whispers.
In his dreams, Megumi floats in a mirror-like plane—familiar yet wrong. His reflection twists, revealing Kogane’s third eye staring back. Though weakened by the ritual, a fragment of Kogane-no-Ō fused with Megumi during their spiritual struggle, clinging to his soul like a parasite.
Yuji, though exhausted and visibly aged from the ritual strain, remains by Megumi’s side.
“We got him back,” he says. “But not all of him.”
Meanwhile, the higher-ups in Jujutsu HQ argue about containment protocols. Some want to exile Megumi. Others, including Yuta and Maki, fiercely defend him. Gojo puts his foot down:
“He stays with us. We clean our own curse.”
The emotional highlight is Megumi waking up and asking, “Was it real? Did I… let it in?”
Yuji responds:
“You didn’t let it in. You fought. And we’ll keep fighting—together.”
The chapter ends with Megumi standing beneath the moonlight, his shadow forming two shapes: his own—and a tall, crowned figure looming just behind him.
Chapter 110 masterfully balances relief and dread. Gege Akutami shows us that while battles may be won, some wars begin within. With Kogane’s remnant alive inside Megumi, the series enters a chilling new phase—where trust, identity, and control blur.
