Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18 Preview: Rika And Tsurugi’s Full Power

by

This article contains spoilers from the JJK Modulo series.

As Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo nears its conclusion, the final conflicts are now underway, and fans are anticipating the showdown between Dabura and Yuka, especially since Yuka has unleashed Mahoraga. However, the current storyline seems primarily centered on the battle between Tsurugi and Maru. Like the previous chapter, the upcoming JJK Modulo Chapter 18 will likely focus heavily on these two, particularly with the arrival of Rika.

After a long time, Rika and Tsurugi have finally merged, making the upcoming battle against Maru even more thrilling. The next chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen promises intense action, and may also reveal more about Yuta and Maki through Rika’s story. After a break for the holidays, this is a really exciting development for all Jujutsu Kaisen fans, as the manga is back!

Rika’s Full Power Is Finally Shown In JJK Modulo Chapter 18

  • Rika Has Finally Shown Herself In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
  • Rika and Tsurugi Will Combine To Beat Maru

Okay, so I’m really excited for Jujutsu Modulo Chapter 18 – I think the spotlight is going to be firmly on Rika and Tsurugi. We finally got a good look at Maru’s power last chapter, and honestly, he was just on a completely different level than Tsurugi. Now it’s Tsurugi’s turn to shine! We know he’s a Heavenly Restricted human, which is huge, but he still has a little cursed energy left. That means he can’t quite reach Maki’s power yet. But with Rika showing up and fusing with him? Everything’s about to change – I’m expecting a totally different fighting style, and I can’t wait to see it!

Ugh, you really look just like her. But I told Yuta I’d help you out. Just say you’re in, okay? — Rika to Tsurugi

Rika possesses a massive amount of cursed energy and can store weapons. This suggests that Tsurugi will likely find some powerful weapons in the next chapter of JJK Modulo. Furthermore, he’s probably going to learn the Copy Cursed Technique, which would give him a significant new ability. Currently, Tsurugi doesn’t have any cursed techniques of his own, but Rika could provide him with a power that dramatically shifts the battle and potentially ends it swiftly.

Rika is incredibly powerful, known throughout the series as the Queen of Curses. Her abilities were crucial in the fight against Sukuna, allowing Yuta to create significant openings and nearly defeat him. Now, facing Maru, Tsurugi should easily win thanks to Rika’s strength.

Chapter 18 of JJK Modulo promises to be Rika’s moment to shine, with a full display of her powers. Expect Maru to struggle, while Tsurugi gradually finds her footing and ultimately takes control of the battle.

Maru Vs Tsurugi Reaches Its Climax

While the fight between Maru and Tsurugi is interesting, fans are much more eager to see the bigger, central conflict in JJK Modulo. Because of this, Gege will probably finish this battle quickly. It began two chapters ago and is now heading towards its conclusion.

This current battle will likely be over within a chapter or two. Considering that JJK Modulo is a relatively short series, major conflicts won’t be drawn out for many chapters. With several key plot points still needing to be resolved, fans can anticipate a swift conclusion to the fight.

Now that Rika has entered the fight, it should be over quickly – in just a chapter or two – and Maru is expected to be defeated. More importantly, this fight between Maru and Tsurugi doesn’t really have a clear purpose. It’s fueled by the complicated feelings between two brothers. Tsurugi challenged Maru to leave Earth if he loses, while Maru wants to prove he deserves to stay if he wins. But the situation is far more complex than either of them realize.

Even if Tsurugi wins, Dabura remains a threat and won’t leave Earth simply because Maru lost. Likewise, the humans are still worried about the Simurians, and Maru’s victory over Tsurugi won’t immediately ease their fears. This fight is fueled by the siblings’ personal issues, and that’s why it needs to be stopped quickly—perhaps by someone like Iori Okkotsu stepping in.

Yuka Vs Dabura Could Be Touched Upon In Modulo Chapter 18

  • Dabura Is The Main Simurian Threat
  • Yuka’s Life Hangs In Balance

Everyone following Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is eagerly awaiting the fight between Dabura and Mahoraga. After Yuka summoned Mahoraga, the powerful Shikigami has been constantly trying to overcome the cursed technique of the strongest Simurian. Fans are very excited about this battle and hope to see some action in the next chapter.

Sorry Dabura, with this treasure I summon… — Yuka Okkotsu, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo

While this fight is building up, don’t anticipate a full resolution just yet. Chapter 18 of JJK Modulo will likely wrap up the battle between Maru and Tsurugi before shifting focus back to Dabura and Mahoraga. However, things could get really interesting if Mahoraga learns to counter Dabura’s cursed technique. Then we’ll see how the King of Simurians responds and what his next move will be.

Yuji Itadori’s Return Edges Closer

The biggest thing for fans to remember is that Yuji Itadori could appear at any moment, possibly even in the upcoming chapter 18 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. Currently, he’s the only one who can save Yuka. She’s involved Dabura in the exorcism, creating a dangerous situation where she’ll die no matter who wins. The ritual can only be stopped, and Yuka saved, if someone like Yuji arrives and defeats Mahoraga. That’s why Yuji is so crucial to the story right now, and chapter 18 might set the stage for his arrival. Overall, fans are eagerly anticipating what Gege Akutami has planned for this week’s release.

The sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, is currently being published in Weekly Shonen Jump. Set 68 years after the Shinjuku Showdown, the story follows Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu, the grandchildren of Yuta and Maki. Chapter 18 is scheduled to come out on January 18, 2026, at midnight in Japan (11:00 AM Eastern Time, 8:00 AM Pacific Time). Readers can access the chapter for free on Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app.
