Lightning did a break down of this on Twitter where they said the "him" in question is relating to Sukuna, I can try find it later, and when I say he used Megumi's soul a shield I'm not saying Sukuna manipulated Gojo's sure-hit I'm saying that he's redirecting the damage of it onto Megumi (essentially your first interpretation).Yeah that translation is a bit weird. Because Sukuna has no way of shifting it to Megumi. You can't control sure hit effects like that. It is completely impossible.
I'll give you two interpretations.
the first one is that it assumes that. Sukuna and Gojo's domain sure hit targeted everything else. But unlike Gojo, Sukuna did not have this overlap his area.
So, the sure hit from Gojo's UV being sent towards Sukuna, were not cancelled
And so it basically hit Sukuna
Basically, While it hit Sukuna, Sukuna made it so that it rather hit Megumi instead of him. This is the first interpretation.
However there's a second interpretation. That is, the sure hit (from malevolent shrine) that didn't hit around Sukuna wasn't canceled towards Sukuna himself, but rather Megumi. So any sure hit effect intending to directly affect Sukuna instead, got cancelled. but Megumi wasn't protected.
The first interpretation assumes that Sukuna can transfer the UV intending to hit him, to Megumi.
The second interpretation assumes that Sukuna's MS sure hit weren't cancelld towards himself but Megumi instead, so Megumi got hit by it.
I think the second interpretation is more fair and sensible. The first interpretation assumes that Sukuna can somehow manipulate UV.
The second interpretation doesn't assume that, but rather assumes Sukuna shielded himself with his own MS sure hit effect but didn't extend that shield to Megumi
Shishiso TL:
"...And Sukuna's commands targeting everything inside the domain except himself" (The "himself" can be interpreted to be referring to Megumi. Which is why in this paragraph it says
"So no Sure-Hit Commands towards HIM (notice how it is bolded?) were canceled"
This supports my interpretation.
We know that there is some sort of distinction between vessels, etc, the body that these characters have. Like how culling games themselves work like. Instead of saying Kenjaku they say Geto, and do the same for the others.
