Jujutsu Kaisen: Gege Confirms Yuji Itadori’s New Role in JJK Modulo

This article contains spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga.

Fans of *Jujutsu Kaisen* have a lot to be excited about! Gege Akutami’s spin-off manga, *Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo*, is now available, with two chapters already released. The story takes place seven years before the original and focuses on new characters – siblings Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu – rather than Yuji Itadori.

In the original *Jujutsu Kaisen* series, Yuji Itadori and his allies defeated Ryomen Sukuna. But now, a new threat has appeared – alien beings called Simurians. Fans are curious to see what Yuji Itadori will do next in *Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo*, as defeating Sukuna might not be the end of his story.

Yuji Itadori Already Appeared in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo

Yuji Itadori Had a Very Short Appearance

Yuji Itadori appeared in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 1.
Yuji Itadori’s status is still unconfirmed.

Gege Akutami shocked fans with a brief but impactful appearance by Yuji Itadori in the first chapter of *Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo*. Considering the uncertainty surrounding his fate at the end of the original series, no one anticipated seeing Yuji so early in the new story. However, it’s important to note that Yuji hasn’t actually returned to the main plot yet. He and Gojo Satoru were only mentioned as legendary sorcerers who ended the Culling Game, which took place 68 years prior.

Yuji Itadori’s sudden reappearance in the new series has fans curious about what part he’ll play. It suggests he’s still a key character, potentially facing off against the alien refugees who have powers similar to those of Jujutsu sorcerers. While his current appearance could just be a nod to his previous role, he’s likely to become directly involved when the main conflict starts.

I’m so excited about the latest Jujutsu Kaisen arc! Yuta and his brother, Tsurugi, are now leading the charge against these mysterious Simurians. It’s incredible to see aliens actually landing on Earth, and especially in Japan! It seems like the responsibility for protecting Japan has shifted – it’s no longer just up to the experienced sorcerers like Yuji, Gojo, Maki, and even Yuta himself. Now, it’s really down to these two siblings to figure things out and save the day, even if they don’t always see eye-to-eye!

Gege Confirms Yuji Itadori Is a Model Jujutsu Sorcerer

The New Generation Is Aware of Yuji’s Feats

The latest unofficial chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen portrays Yuji Itadori as a remarkably powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer, leaving a lasting impact that current sorcerers struggle to match. His strength and determination were comparable to Gojo Satoru’s, a significant claim that suggests the author has a specific reason for placing Yuji on such a high level.

Yuji Itadori is remembered as a remarkably powerful jujutsu sorcerer, and stories of his accomplishments continue to be shared even years later. His incredible strength during the Culling Game now serves as a benchmark for newer sorcerers, particularly since the overall power of jujutsu sorcerers has diminished since his time. This decline in strength means that sorcerers like Yuka and Tsurugi have a significant challenge ahead of them if they hope to face the increasingly dangerous threats emerging in the world.

Currently, Yuji Itadori represents the peak of what a Jujutsu sorcerer can be in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. Yuka and Tsurugi aren’t just aiming to exceed the abilities of characters like Maki Zenin and Yuta Okkotsu; they also have to measure up to Yuji Itadori’s incredible accomplishments. This is a difficult task for them, but their journey could become simpler if Yuji is still alive.

Yuji Itadori Could Return As Mentor in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo

Yuji Itadori Might Still Be Alive in the Current Timeline

It’s still unclear what happened to Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen, but many fans believe he’s somehow survived. Yuji isn’t a typical sorcerer; his father was the reborn brother of the powerful Sukuna, and his mother was actually Kenjaku. This unusual family history might have given him a longer lifespan, allowing him to continue existing even as time passes for everyone else.

It’s possible Yuji Itadori is deliberately staying hidden, biding his time until he needs to step in. He could reappear unexpectedly, similar to how he surprised the students from Tokyo and Kyoto Jujutsu High before their practice match. Eventually, he might become a mentor figure to Yuka and Tsurugi, much like Gojo-Sensei.
