@earthtodora sorry to just tag you like this but I have to say it again on this queer subject: you (and Mya) are not wrong. To be more precise, itafushi is half right.
Subtextually Megumi is bisexual. I'm not saying this with the fujo glasses on and this is not a queer reading where we remove heterosexuality as the norm and fill in the blanks. This is subtext from an author who is a fudanshi and who openly included a queer ally (Todo) a trans woman (Kirara) and 2 genderqueer characters (Kenjaku and Uraume) into the text of his work.
In subtext for bisexual Megumi we have this:
Todo asked for his type in women and added he could say men as well. This addition is Megumi only, it never happened again in JJK
Megumi gave a gender neutral answer even though the context of his conversation demanded a female specific answer to not leave his sexuality ambiguous
His type is specifically of people who're like his sister. Yuji and Tsumiki are explicitly and repeatedly shown to be extremely similar in personality and character. (In the video, which I didn't make a screenshot of, Tsumiki's first pic came right after Yuji in the same position) Later, Megumi decides to live for Yuji like he did for Tsumiki.
This shows not explicitly but again in subtext that Megumi is bisexual and that he has an infatuation with Yuji which is why Yuji being centred in the birthday special like this is expected. This is only one-sided though, itafushi itself isn't subtext the way stsg is (which is another post on its own.)
So yeah, canon one sided itafushi. Wonder what the extra epilogue of Ozawa will be about 😄
(What's also a post on his own is how Sukuna's obsession with Megumi can also be seen as queer subtext, as in, an older (criminal) gay man is after a young (good) man just to later violate his body in an allegory to rape. But there is sooooo much to unpack with that that it's good Gege refrained from making it as subtext heavy like Megumi's bisexuality.)
From the Megumi Birthday Special.
