‘He’s Back’: Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Can’t Unsee Gojo Satoru in JJK Modulo’s New Character

by

This article contains spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen and Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga.

Fans are excited for the upcoming Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen, which promises more intense battles for Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and their friends. While everyone is eager to see the powerful Gojo Satoru back in action, he’s currently trapped in the Prison Realm. His eventual return is vital to his allies, but he’ll likely be sidelined for much of the next story arc.

Despite the series being a side story, *Jujutsu Kaisen* fans have noticed a new character in *Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo* who strongly reminds them of Gojo Satoru. They’re sharing their observations on social media, pointing out similarities in both appearance and personality that are hard to ignore. It seems the creator, Gege Akutami, may have intentionally drawn parallels between the two.

Gojo Satoru Appeared in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo

Gojo Satoru Was Referenced as an Extraordinary Jujutsu Sorcerer

  • Gojo Satoru appears in JJK Modulo Chapter 1.
  • Gojo Satoru remains dead in the JJK sequel.

Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami unexpectedly revealed that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is actually a sequel to the original series. Many fans believed Akutami was starting a completely new manga, but the first chapter quickly proved them wrong. It established a clear connection to the original story through details about family lineages and recognizable elements from the existing lore.

Gojo Satoru remains a hugely popular character and is often considered the face of Jujutsu Kaisen, so his appearance in Modulo is a nice nod to his importance in the series. Known to fans as the “glorious king,” Gojo is famous for his incredible abilities – particularly his Six Eyes and Limitless cursed technique – which make him an exceptionally powerful and nearly unbeatable sorcerer.

In the first chapter of *Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo*, the person who kidnapped Tsurugi Okkotsu talked about Gojo Satoru and Yuji Itadori. They were presented as prime examples of incredibly powerful sorcerers who ended the Culling Game years ago. The story suggests that after Gojo and Yuji’s time, the overall strength of jujutsu sorcerers significantly declined, resulting in a weaker generation.

Fans Say Maru Is Just a Rotated Gojo Satoru in JJK Modulo

Maru Is An Alien With a Familiar Headband

Maru is a fascinating character in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. He’s an alien from the Simurian race with a surprising ability – he has powers similar to those of Jujutsu Sorcerers. He’s currently on Earth to see if aliens and humans can live together peacefully, but his arrival is causing friction and raising concerns for sorcerers like Tsurugi and Yuka Okkotsu.

Since appearing in three chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, the character Maru has drawn comparisons to Gojo Satoru from fans. The similarity is largely due to Maru’s headband, which closely resembles Gojo’s signature blindfold. Many viewers have noted that simply rotating Maru’s image makes the resemblance to Gojo immediately apparent, leading to widespread belief that the two characters share a striking similarity.

Fans see a lot of Gojo Satoru in Maru, and it’s not just his appearance. While his brother Cross is more serious, Maru is playful, friendly, and endearing – especially when he’s working with Yuka and Tsurugi. Like Gojo, he has a knack for bringing a cheerful, lighthearted energy to the team, often easing tension with unexpected humor.

Fans Want Gojo Satoru Back in JJK Modulo

Gojo Satoru’s Return Is Not Impossible

Even though Maru appears in the new Jujutsu Kaisen series, fans are still hoping to see the original Gojo Satoru return. He’s a crucial part of what makes the story so exciting – his incredible powers, funny timing, and unique fighting style are all deeply missed, and the series doesn’t quite feel complete without him.

Manga readers already know what happens to Gojo Satoru, and the author, Gege Akutami, seems set on that outcome. But if Gojo were to return to the *Jujutsu Kaisen* story-perhaps through being reborn or an unforeseen revival-it would dramatically change the power dynamics. And when (or if) Gojo appears in *JJK Modulo*, it’s safe to say the internet would explode.
