Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 12 Drops Soon: Release Date, Worldwide Times, and Where to Read First

Heads up: Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 12 lands this weekend, and the early chatter points to a messy, high-stakes chapter — power gaps widening, politics going sideways, and a surprise entrance that should kick the arc into overdrive. Here is the when, where, and what of it.

When Chapter 12 drops

Japan gets it first at 12:00 AM JST on Monday, November 24, 2025. For most other places, it hits on Sunday. Here are the exact times so you do not miss it:

• Japan (JST): Mon, Nov 24, 2025 — 12:00 AM
• Pacific Time (PT): Sun, Nov 23, 2025 — 8:00 AM
• Eastern Time (ET): Sun, Nov 23, 2025 — 11:00 AM
• UK (GMT): Sun, Nov 23, 2025 — 4:00 PM
• Central Europe (CET): Sun, Nov 23, 2025 — 5:00 PM
• India (IST): Sun, Nov 23, 2025 — 8:30 PM
• Australia (AEST): Mon, Nov 24, 2025 — 2:00 AM

Where to read it (legally, in HD, and on time)

Two official options, both free on release day and synced worldwide:

VIZ Media (Shonen Jump) and Shueisha's MANGA Plus app or website. That is it. Those are the only places that support the creators and give you the chapter in proper quality right when it goes live. If you want to catch up, Modulo is currently available on MANGA Plus too.

Spoilers ahead: what Chapter 12 is setting up

If you are avoiding spoilers, skip this section. If not, buckle up.

Chapter 12 is apparently where the slow burn catches fire. The tension between humans and Simurians is already on edge, and the chapter reportedly opens with Jabalomba pressing Usami about Kalyan's death — not exactly a calm start.

Meanwhile, the fieldwork grind continues: Yuka, Maru, and Tsurugi are still sweeping Japan, checking talismans to keep Cursed Spirits from pouring through. Bad news: the spirits are pouring through anyway. Tokyo, in particular, is packed, and that pressure cooker finally pops.

Here is the spark: sorcerer Yakumaru spots Oski talking to a spirit, panics, and reacts violently. That one jumpy move escalates into something much bigger — the kind of flashpoint that can spiral into open conflict. Things get uglier fast: Cross takes two gunshots, and the chapter goes out on a cliffhanger with a big arrival — Dabura shows up. Between that and the broader power imbalances and political fallout hinted in leaks, this reads like the chapter that tips the whole Modulo arc into chaos. A Special Grade showing up does not exactly calm the room.

Bottom line

Set a reminder for your local time, open VIZ or MANGA Plus when the clock hits, and be ready. Chapter 12 is not just the next step — it is the moment Modulo stops simmering and blows the lid off.
