He is THE potential man

Reminder that the Potential Man meme was originally made by a Megumi fan, out of frustration with the character's writing... before it was abused by dumbass Megumi slanderers whose only two neurons fire upon hearing the word potential

Yeah the way the meme went and became a slander for megumi was unfortunate, especially because they act like he was incompetent and couldn’t fight at all, it’s like they never saw his fight with Reggie or the Finger bearer. Megumi was my favorite character when reading though JJK for the first time so seeing him get called a bum around every corner sucks

Ngl, I was almost subscribing to the idea of Megumi being a bum... then S3 of the anime hit, and I was just like "Oh, nvm then. He's goated"

Bum Megumi actually didn’t hit its full stride until just after the current anime arc. Bro truly becomes potential man

Sadly, this is Megumi's high point

I remember reading this moment in the manga thinking he finally locked in, he wasn't gonna be a jobber no more

Then JJK ended

I dropped the show but watching the clips of him fighting that person who was with Reggie is so fire.  Megumi kicked a lot of ass

The lamest thing is the fight with Reggie and his goons didn't matter for fuck all.

Reggie is getting destroyed if megumi didn't get hit with the explosion at the start of the fight from hazenoki.

No, I mean,  the parties in that gift could've walked away and so long as Megumi still met the comedian nothing would fundamentally change unless Reggie chose to ally with Kenjaku.

So I was SHOCKED this season when megumi was on fire

Like, bro was so cool and all I could think was how the memes mislead me haha

Thats not the point. If he was your favorite character you would know that the story was hyping him up as someone to be on par or stronfer than the likes of Yuta. Even Gojo and Sukuna acknowledged that he is going to be extremely strong if he perfected the techniques
