Megumi Fushiguro and Maki Zenin are distant cousins in the manga and anime series “Jujutsu Kaisen.” Both characters come from the powerful Zenin family, one of the most influential sorcerer clans in the world of “Jujutsu Kaisen.”
Megumi Fushiguro is a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, where he trains to become a Jujutsu Sorcerer to combat Cursed Spirits. He is known for his strong cursed techniques and stoic demeanor. On the other hand, Maki Zenin is a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High and is the main protagonist of the prequel, “Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Jujutsu High.” Unlike most of her family members, Maki was born without the ability to use jujutsu, which caused her to face discrimination and mistreatment within the Zenin family.
Despite their contrasting personalities and circumstances, Maki and Megumi work together as complementary jujutsu sorcerers. Their distinct strengths and approaches to challenges allow them to form an effective team. As distant cousins, they share a familial connection, which might contribute to their understanding and respect for each other.
In “Jujutsu Kaisen,” the story explores the bond between Maki and Megumi, shedding light on how family ties can influence characters and their dynamics. Their collaboration highlights the importance of embracing differences and working together to overcome obstacles in their fight against Cursed Spirits and other supernatural threats. The series showcases the complexities of the Zenin family and how it affects the lives of its members, including Maki and Megumi.
