Q1: Is Megumi Fushiguro older than Maki Zenin?
A1: No. Maki Zenin was born on January 20, 2002, making her approximately eleven months older than Megumi Fushiguro, who was born on December 22, 2002. Maki sits one school year ahead of Megumi at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Q2: Why did Naobito name Megumi clan head instead of Naoya?
A2: Naobito prioritized clan survival and geopolitical parity against the Gojo clan over biological nepotism. Megumi inherited the Ten Shadows Technique, the only Zenin power historically proven to counter the Gojo family's Six Eyes and Limitless, whereas Naoya's Projection Sorcery lacked that strategic value.
Q3: Does Megumi ever take the Zenin surname?
A3: Megumi legally assumes the title of 27th Zenin Clan Head through Naobito's binding will, but he refuses the Zenin name in daily life. He retains his late mother's surname, Fushiguro, honoring the family that raised him away from the compound's political dysfunction.
Q4: Why was Maki considered an aunt to Megumi if they are nearly the same age?
A4: Kinship tiers are determined by ancestral distance rather than calendar age. Maki is the daughter of Ogi Zenin, making her the first cousin of Megumi’s father, Toji. Because Maki shares the generational tier of Megumi’s parent, she sits as his first cousin once removed, which translates culturally to an aunt-tier relative.
