I just want you to know that in light of your posts about the Zen'in Clan trying to make Megumi kill one of his dogs, I now have a headcanon that when the white dog dies at the detention center, Naoya sends him a card saying "Congratulations on finally getting your dog killed!" and half of the Zen'in Clan have signed it. Someone doodled the white dog with lil X's for eyes. A true family bonding moment for everyone but Megumi.

You’re actually really close because in the backstory that lives in my head, the sword the Zenin clan always gives him to kill the dog is the black blade that he uses in canon. It’s the Ten Shadows’ sword that they typically receive when they kill the dog and ergo come of age. Megumi goes back to his room after the detention center and finds it on his bed. Yuuji’s blood was still on him. He doesn’t know how they found out so quickly or how they got into his room, but he never feels safe in that room again.

But he kept the sword, and he didn’t tell Gojo where it came from. It was meant to be a reminder to himself.

Next time, when it comes down to it, he needs to be the one to die. And then he would never again have to feel the way he did when he saw that fucking sword and realized that someone like Itadori Yuuji died for a person who didn’t even want to be alive.
