Megumi Fushiguro has tried summoning shikigami Mahoraga on various occasions. However, every time, he was interrupted by someone. The end of the previous episode hinted at Megumi finally having succeeded at summoning the shikigami. Hence, fans can expect Mahoraga to go after Haruta Shigemo in the upcoming episode.

While the previous episode only showed Mahoraga's feet, the upcoming episode may give us a full look at the shikigami, all while revealing how and why Megumi summoned it.


Megumi's backstory could reveal Mahoraga's history

As mentioned above, Megumi Fushiguro has tried summoning Mahoraga before to no avail. However, with him having finally accomplished the task, fans can hope to learn the history behind the shikigami and why it is considered one of the strongest shikigami. This sequence may possibly see Megumi speak to his teacher, Satoru Gojo, allowing fans to see their favorite character again.


Ryomen Sukuna is set to fight Mahoraga in the upcoming episode

At the end of the previous episode, Ryomen Sukuna was seen being greeted by Uraume. While fans aren't aware of Uraume's significance, the anime made it quite clear that they were an important character.

However, instead of interacting with them, Sukuna is depicted fighting Mahoraga in the preview. Hence, fans will see Sukuna fight Mahoraga and learn how the King of Curses ended up fighting the shikigami when it was busy targetting Haruta Shigemo.


Ryomen Sukuna's plan may be revealed

When Ryomen Sukuna was seen offering Jogo and the Cursed Spirits a chance to make him their subordinate, he mentioned a condition to Jogo if he lost the bet. Sukuna willingly stated that he would spare only one human being in Shibuya and kill all the rest for the Cursed Spirits. After Sukuna defeated Jogo, there is a good chance that the anime might finally reveal the secret.

Considering that Sukuna can be seen fighting Mahoraga in the preview images, there is a possibility that he will be fighting the shikigami to rescue Megumi Fushiguro. Thus, there remains a possibility that Megumi is the person Sukuna plans to use for his complete revival.
