In the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, fans were introduced to Toji Fushiguro and witnessed his incredible combat skills during his fight against Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. Toji Fushiguro was originally known as Toji Zen’in, belonging to the same family as Maki Zen’in. Like Maki, Toji comes from a line of sorcerers but lacks any Cursed Energy.
While Toji and Maki share similarities in their family background, they are not directly related. However, later events in Jujutsu Kaisen shed light on some form of familial relationship between them. The current patriarchs of the Zen’in clan are Ougi Zen’in, Naobito Zen’in, and an unnamed third brother. Ougi is the father of Mai and Maki Zen’in, while the unnamed third brother is Toji Fushiguro’s father. This makes Maki and Toji paternal cousins, as they are born in the same generation of the Zen’in family tree and their fathers are brothers.
Maki/Toji:The best known case of Heavenly Restriction is shown to use through Maki and Toji. No CE at all but as a trade for that physical abilities that can only be described as superhuman.

This relationship also affects the blood relationship between Maki and Megumi Fushiguro, who are similar in age. Despite this, Megumi is technically the nephew of Maki and Mai due to the fact that Toji is Megumi’s father. As Toji and Maki are cousins, this makes Megumi Maki’s nephew rather than cousin.
WAIT IF MAKI IS TOJI’S COUSIN THEN THAT MEANS MEGUMI IS MAKI’S NEPHEW????

The information about their relationship comes from both the original manga and the official fanbook of the series. The fanbook contains supplementary information that provides additional details about the series and its characters.
As Jujutsu Kaisen progresses, fans can expect more developments and revelations about the characters and their connections. It’s an exciting journey for fans of the series, and keeping up with the anime and manga news will provide further insights into the story and its characters.
