Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 79: Collapse of the Shadow
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 79 is an emotional earthquake wrapped in cursed energy. The fallout from the shocking twist in Chapter 78—Tsumiki’s body being hijack an ancient sorcerer—continues to devastate Megumi Fushiguro, both mentally and physically.
Megumi, for the first time in the series, appears truly lost. He doesn’t fight back. doesn’t strategize. He simply stands frozen, drowning in the realization that his sister—the very reason he endured everything—is gone.
But in that silence, a more sinister voice awakens.
Sukuna has been lying dormant inside Yuji Itadori, watching, waiting. And now, with Megumi’s soul cracked open from grief and vulnerability, Sukuna sees the perfect opportunity to strike.
In a terrifying and silent exchange, Sukuna uses a forbidden technique: a Binding Vow created chapters ago, allowing him to take control under specific conditions. And Megumi’s weakened state fulfills those terms.
In a shocking twist, Sukuna forcibly switches vessels, transferring himself into Megumi’s body.
It happens in an instant—Yuji collapses, his cursed energy vanishes, and Sukuna emerges inside Megumi, wearing a twisted smile and basking in his new body’s innate power.
Why Megumi? Sukuna has always shown interest in the Ten Shadows Technique, and now it’s clear—he plans to weaponize it. This isn’t just about control. It’s about becoming unstoppable.
Yuji, helpless on the ground, watches the fallout, devastated. He couldn’t stop it. He couldn’t protect Megumi. The hero has failed—and the villain has won a major battle without throwing a punch.
Gege Akutami delivers one of the most terrifying status shifts in the entire series. Chapter 79 is a masterclass in psychological tension, betrayal, and long-term foreshadowing.
This isn’t the beginning of the end—it’s the birth of a new nightmare.
