In the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen, Megumi once said, "That bastard old man named his child Megumi without even checking if it was a boy or a girl."
Megumi's dissatisfaction is understandable, because the character "Megumi" in a name is typically used for girls.
Megumi is a boy, and the cool, handsome type who could take down half of a junior high's delinquents by himself.
Anyone who learned that such a powerful and cool person, even more rebellious in junior high, had a name typically given to a little girl would look at him with a strange expression.
The strange looks from his classmates naturally made Megumi uncomfortable and even more rebellious.
However, what Megumi did not know was that no matter if he was a boy or a girl, Toji had only one name in mind for him.
Megumi.
Meaning a blessing bestowed upon Toji by Heaven.
Before leaving the Zen'in Family, Toji did not know what love was, because his childhood lacked it.
He was born without Cursed Energy, which made his life in the Jujutsu-centric Zen'in Family incredibly miserable.
Although Toji's parents came from good backgrounds, they did not have the talent of a Jujutsu Sorcerer, so they lived poorly in the Zen'in Family.
It was not until Jin'ichi grew up that things got a little better for them, and later they pinned their hopes for further advancement on Toji.
Unfortunately, Toji did not inherit the Zen'in Family's Technique as they wished, and he did not even have a trace of Cursed Energy.
In Zen'in philosophy, Toji was considered even less than an ordinary person with just a trace of Cursed Energy.
This made his parents angry and disappointed.
Later, as their last shred of hope, they threw him into a pile of Cursed Spirits when he was six years old.
Throwing a child into a pile of man-eating Cursed Spirits.
Outside, this would be an incredibly cruel act, universally condemned.
But in the Zen'in Family, it was not difficult to understand.
This also shows the twisted values of the Zen'in Family.
Toji did not Awaken a Technique as his parents hoped. When a wounded Toji crawled out of the ground, he still had no Cursed Energy.
The scar at the corner of his mouth was also left during this incident.
His parents completely gave up on him.
The Zen'in Family was not surprised, and simply raised Toji along with several other individuals who lacked Cursed Energy talent.
When he was young, before his Heavenly Restriction fully developed, he was constantly bullied by others.
This planted the seed of violence deep within his heart.
Later, in his teens, as his body developed, the power brought by his Heavenly Restriction became strong enough.
At this point, Toji also began to use violence to resist all injustice, just like them.
At first, two fists were no match for four hands.
But as the fighting instinct hidden within Toji's perfect body was gradually unleashed, the Heavenly Restriction was born.
This is also why Naoya later feared and respected him.
Initially, he was just curious to see him, but their first meeting immediately captivated him for life.
Later, Naoya tried to test Toji to determine if he was truly strong or just a facade, and as a result, he completely fell for him, becoming a Toji fanboy.
Naoya was self-important, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and many in the Zen'in Family were like this.
They were self-important due to their status, yet because of that status, they dared not resist those above them.
Later, the Zen'in Family made Toji feel bored.
Everyone feared him and dreaded him. Those who had once bullied him would now avoid him directly upon seeing him.
Few people still spoke to Toji, and Naobito was one of them.
Naobito was hailed as the most open-minded among the 26 generations of Zen'in Family Heads.
He noticed Toji's situation and understood what he was thinking.
So when Toji fought his way out of the Zen'in Family, Naobito did not stop him.
Because it was not worth it.
Letting Toji leave preserved some face between them and also avoided too much Family loss.
This was because Toji merely injured members of the Kukuru Squad and a few remaining Hei members before leaving with a few convenient cursed tools.
It was fortunate that he had not yet tamed his Inventory Curse at that time, otherwise there would have been nothing left in the Zen'in Family's Sealed Repository, and then Naobito would probably have fought him to the death.
Toji was a Heavenly Restriction that grew step by step, not like Maki, who accumulated power and then suddenly Awakened and reached the peak.
Therefore, if Naobito had fought Toji to the death, the outcome would truly have been uncertain.
After leaving the Zen'in Family, Toji experienced what love was for the first time.
At first, it was just physical love with Erika.
Slowly, Erika's care and anticipation for new life made this big boy realize what love was.
"Toji, what do you plan to name the child?"
Erika touched her growing belly and looked at him.
"Megumi."
"What if it is a boy?"
"Also Megumi."
Erika was a little surprised.
"This is a blessing bestowed upon me."
Hearing this, Erika's face filled with a happy smile.
"Zen'in Megumi, what a good name."
"Not Zen'in, it is Fushiguro."
"Huh?"
Erika's face was full of surprise.
"I hate Zen'in."
So he did not want to give that name to his child.
"I married into the Family, so it is Fushiguro."
"Mm."
Erika, who vaguely guessed something, agreed to Toji's decision.
Having been together for so long, she knew that his past was not good. When they first met, Toji was like a stray dog, pitiful and helpless.
Unfortunately, fate did not spare him.
Erika died, but fortunately, Megumi still had someone to care for him.
Minako could not bear to see Megumi being clumsily looked after by Toji, so she took Megumi with her and cared for him alongside Tsumiki.
Toji loved Megumi very much, but he did not know how to express this love, because his parents had not loved him, so he did not know how to express his love to his child.
Later, before accepting the mission to assassinate the Star Plasma Vessel, Toji met with Naobito.
In that meeting, Toji and Naobito made a deal.
If Megumi Awakened a Technique, he would sell Megumi to the Zen'in Family.
Did Toji lack that money?
No, he did not.
This was just his way of applying pressure. No one cherishes cheap linen clothes, but expensive silk garments make people walk carefully.
Therefore, Megumi could not be simply given to the Zen'in Family.
Toji knew this, and this was the only way he could think of to ensure Megumi had a good life.
And this deal also included a clause.
If Gojo Satoru died or lost consciousness for some reason, the agreement with Toji would be fulfilled, and Megumi would be appointed as the Zen'in Family Head.
Yes, Toji had decided to bet everything for the future of his most beloved child even before undertaking the mission to assassinate the Star Plasma Vessel.
In Toji's perception, the Zen'in Family Head was the most noble status in this world.
He wanted to give this status to his most beloved son.
Even if the one standing in his way was the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world, the legendary Six Eyes.
Naobito had no objection to this. If Megumi truly Awakened the Ten Shadows Technique, then he naturally had the qualifications to become the Zen'in Family Head, and at that time, Naobito would simply adopt Megumi as his godson and cultivate him well.
A Zen'in bloodline, possessing the Ten Shadows Technique, and the adopted son of the former Family Head.
It would not be difficult to push Megumi to the position of Family Head.
Moreover, if Toji, the Sorcerer Killer, really had difficulty killing the Six Eyes, it would also be considered helping the Zen'in Family eliminate a major hidden danger.
Unfortunately, fate did not favor Toji.
Before Tengen's assimilation was complete, the karma between Tengen, the Six Eyes, and the Star Plasma Vessel would not be severed.
Just as a second Star Plasma Vessel appeared quickly before Tengen after Amanai Riko's death, the Six Eyes, as insurance, would not disappear before Tengen completed assimilation.
Kenjaku had tried to kill the Six Eyes and the Star Plasma Vessel five hundred years ago, but afterward, the Six Eyes and the Star Plasma Vessel still appeared, and Tengen once again completed assimilation with the Star Plasma Vessel.
Facing such an overpowered and unreasonable existence, Toji could only be defeated unwillingly.
He still had one concern, and that was Megumi. Without him putting pressure on the Zen'in Family from outside, would Megumi also be bullied like he was?
With this last worry, Toji tried to entrust Megumi to the Six Eyes.
Toji was lucky, because in this final, gambling-like entrustment, he bet correctly.
When he was reincarnated in Shinjuku, Toji committed suicide with satisfaction.
He was also unlucky, because Megumi was later subjected to possession by Ryomen Sukuna, and Sukuna used his Technique to kill his own sister. After that, Megumi's life was worse than death.
