This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.

Jujutsu Kaisen has quickly become a standout anime series, gaining a huge following in recent years. The original manga by Gege Akutami was incredibly popular – it even surpassed One Piece in sales at one point, which is a remarkable achievement. The series really shines with its exciting and intense battles, and Gege Akutami masterfully creates suspenseful and gripping moments. As a battle-focused anime, Jujutsu Kaisen is exceptionally well-done.

One common criticism of the *Jujutsu Kaisen* series is how its female characters were portrayed, particularly as the story progressed. However, the author, Gege, now has a chance to address this with the new sequel series, *Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo*. Set 68 years after the original story ends, *Modulo* follows the grandchildren of Yuta Okkotsu. Fans are excited that one of these grandchildren, Yuka Okkotsu, is a central character, as this gives Gege an opportunity to improve how he handled female characters in the first series.

Many fans consider *Jujutsu Kaisen* to be one of the best recent shonen anime and manga, but like many others, it struggled to develop strong female characters. While the series started off well in this regard, with engaging characters like Nobara, Maki, and Mai, and later Yuki, it ultimately fell short of delivering fully realized female roles. It wasn’t a problem from the beginning, but became one as the story progressed.

Gege, the author, didn’t develop most of the characters very well, with Maki Zenin being a notable exception. Nobara was essentially removed from the story during the Shibuya arc, only reappearing towards the end, and Yuki’s death felt pointless. Mai’s role was limited to advancing Maki’s storyline, and even Maki didn’t have a significant impact on the overall plot. Overall, the writing for female characters was weak, but the author now has an opportunity to improve.

Yuka Okkotsu is a key character in *Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo*, and the author, Gege, needs to deliver on her potential. As a main character, Yuka deserves a compelling and well-developed storyline that allows her to grow and evolve throughout the series. It’s important that her development goes beyond just battles, exploring her motivations, personal growth, and overall significance to the story. Many fans believe Yuka represents an opportunity for Gege to address previous criticisms and create a truly satisfying character arc.

Nobara Could Still Be Alive Right Now

Gege Akutami could create a more satisfying story by revisiting older female characters and giving them the development they’re due. Many fans are particularly eager to see Nobara Kugisaki return, as there’s a belief she might still be alive. Her reappearance would not only boost the story but also give her character the attention she deserves, addressing criticisms that she wasn’t fully developed in the original series. This would allow her to help the newer generation fight against the Simurian aliens.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a hugely popular action manga that recently finished its run in late 2024.
