Jujutsu Kaisen Finale Confirms Yuji Itadori As The Next Sukuna

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo just wrapped, and the ending aims squarely at Yuji Itadori's future in a way that mirrors Sukuna... on purpose. It is bold, a little bleak, and surprisingly tidy for a spin-off that also brings aliens into the mix.

What this spin-off actually was

Modulo is a six-month Jujutsu Kaisen spin-off set 68 years after the main story from Gege Akutami. It launched on September 8, 2025 and finished in March 2026 with Chapter 25, which dropped March 8. The premise is a curveball: humanity is coexisting (or trying to) with an alien race called Simuria, and the series uses that to look at what curses mean in a very different world. The finale brings Yuji face to face with Kugisaki Nobara again, and he lays out the plan he has been building quietly for decades.

Yuji's endgame

Yuji wants to erase the problem at the root: exorcise curses before they ever get traction. To pull that off, he teams with Panda and Nobara to bulk up global surveillance and reinforce the barrier network around the world. It is not a flashy plan. It is a grind-it-down, never-let-it-rise approach. And in this future, it actually works.

The cost he accepts

Here is the twist the finale saves for last: Yuji does not age like everyone else anymore. At the current pace, he is looking at roughly 300 years of life. After that? He plans to have his body turned into a cursed object, creating a new safeguard for the generations that come after him. The echo of Sukuna is deliberate, but the motivation is the inverse. Sukuna arranged his transformation through Kenjaku for his own ends; Yuji chooses it to keep others safe—and because outliving everyone he loves is wearing him down. It is a heavy, clear-eyed decision, not a heel turn.

Where it leaves the world

By the end of Modulo, cursed spirits are gone. Humanity and the Simurians settle into actual harmony. Yes, there are aliens, and yes, it somehow clicks with the series' curse logic. The last beat is Yuji building a future that will not need him—and then making sure he can still protect it when he is gone.
