But, Toji opts to end his own life as memories from the past flood back.
What transpires is a revelation that Toji had sold his son years ago. Delving into the details, a whole new plot is unveiled. Toji, who was thought to be dead twelve years prior, was summoned through a séance by Granny Ogami during the Shibuya Incident. In a state of massacre, Megumi reveals his name as “Fushiguro” instead of Zenin.

Years ago, Toji requested Gojo for him to take care of Megumi. Toji’s trust in Gojo finds confirmation on the battlefield. When he finds out that Megumi remains free and has chosen his path outside of the Zenin Clan, it becomes an emotional motivation for Toji’s willingness to sacrifice himself.
With narratives such as this, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 has become a whirlwind experience and has naturally raised future expectations of the show.
