Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 44

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 44 pits blood against shadows as Noritoshi and Megumi finally collide. Noritoshi, born to a mistress so the Kamo clan could secure an heir with Blood Manipulation, insists the two of them are the same — pillars destined to uphold the old families and their cruel order. He urges Megumi to accept his duty and let Yuji die for the sake of jujutsu society. Megumi’s answer is absolute: he trusts only his own conscience, and he will save Yuji regardless of what anyone commands.

“Then let’s agree to curse each other!” Megumi declares, and their ideologies erupt into open combat. Noritoshi’s blood-forged arrows and reinforced strikes meet Megumi’s shikigami head-on, with Max Elephant crashing into the fray. Neither fighter yields an inch as the forest shakes with the force of their convictions.
