Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Confirms The Strongest Sorcerer Lives — Revenge Begins Now

Yuji Itadori just walked back into the story. Yep, in Chapter 10 of Gege Akutami's new series 'Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo,' the kid who carried Sukuna is alive, older, and still wearing that infuriating smirk. And the setup around his return is wild.

The future is ugly (and 68 years later)

'Modulo' jumps a full 68 years past the timeline of the original JJK. Japan looks completely different, and a new race called the Simurians has shown up and is making a global mess of things. Their leader, Dabura, is being talked about like he's on Sukuna's level, which is... not great for humanity.

The Japanese side of the jujutsu world is basically scrambling. They need someone who can actually stand up to this threat, and when they're out of options, they start looking for one name.

That cloaked figure? Yeah, it was Yuji

Chapter 10 plays it like a reveal: a cloaked stranger blending into a crowd, a little slide of the hood, a familiar grin. It's Yuji Itadori. He was 15–16 back in the original series; now he's somewhere around 84–85, and he has clearly survived decades of cursed chaos. Not retired. Not tucked away sipping tea in the countryside. The Jujutsu Sorcerers' Association is actively trying to find him, because they think he might be the one person who can deal with the Simurians. Translation: he's still a monster, just in a different, more mysterious package.

The revenge thread that never really ended

Yuji's return isn't just a plot twist; it's personal. He went through hell in the main series — friends gone, Sukuna in his gut, the whole thing. 'Modulo' is very much setting the stage for him to hit back and maybe even save the world again, just with a lot more years on him.

There are also some intriguing breadcrumbs about the next generation. The story hints that Yuji could wind up mentoring the grandchildren of Yuta and Maki, who are currently with a character named Maru in the present 'Modulo' timeline. The idea of impulsive teen Yuji becoming the grizzled mentor is a great left turn, and honestly, I buy it.

The real curveball: Mahito might be back

If you're keeping track, Chapter 7 already teased something that made fans collectively clench: Mahito may have survived in some way or been reborn. The same cursed spirit who psychologically wrecked Yuji might be part of this new era. If that's true, we all know what Yuji's real mission becomes. A Yuji vs. Mahito rematch after 68 years is the kind of grudge match people have been imagining since the anime started.

So what does this say about the world of JJK now?

With Yuji still alive and apparently formidable, it sure looks like Sukuna's legacy — and maybe even Gojo's teachings — are still echoing through this future. The stakes feel higher than ever, and 'Modulo' is shaping up to be a heavy, emotional spin-off rather than a quick side story.

• Time jump: 68 years after the original JJK timeline
• New threat: the Simurians, led by Dabura, rumored to be on Sukuna's level
• Chapter 10 reveal: cloaked figure is Yuji Itadori, now ~84–85 and very much alive
• The hunt: the Jujutsu Sorcerers' Association wants Yuji to stop the Simurians
• Personal stakes: Yuji's trauma and unfinished business are back on the table
• Next-gen tease: possible mentor Yuji; Yuta and Maki's grandkids are with Maru
• Chapter 7 hint: Mahito may be back, setting up a potential rematch

If Akutami keeps steering this the way it looks, 'Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo' could end up being one of the more emotionally loaded shonen spin-offs in recent memory. And yes, you can read it now on MANGA Plus.
