Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Just Got Darker With a Major Villain Return

This article contains spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga.

The ongoing series, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, is impressing fans by delving deeper into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. While the original series touched on a larger universe, it never fully explained it. Now, creator Gege Akutami is building out that world with more detailed stories and answers to questions that were left unanswered, which longtime fans are really enjoying.

Alongside the new story, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has excited fans by suggesting that Akutami might revisit characters whose stories weren’t fully resolved. The recent appearance of one such character in the sequel sparked a lot of discussion online. Fans are now debating whether Mahito’s surprise cameo in JJK Modulo means he’ll return for good, or if it was just a fleeting vision.

Fans Are Confused About Mahito’s Cameo

Mahito is a truly unforgettable villain from Jujutsu Kaisen, and a lot of that comes down to his complicated character. He’s still feared by many viewers because of the deep emotional scars he left on characters like Nanami, Nobara, and Yuji Itadori. His cruel actions and disturbing motivations make him a villain that’s hard to shake off.

During the Shibuya Incident, many viewers believed Mahito was gone for good after being absorbed by Pseudo-Geto. However, Jujutsu Kaisen has previously shown that powerful curses like Mahito can be reborn. This led fans to speculate he’d eventually return, perhaps as a different person without his memories. Those hoping to see Mahito again were surprised by a recent development in the JJK Modulo side story.

Fans were shocked to see what appears to be Mahito in the latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, as many thought he was defeated. This sighting raises questions about whether the creator, Akutami, has more plans for this villain. Even a quick appearance of Mahito in Tsurugi Okkotsu’s dream felt significant, hinting that his story isn’t over yet.

Mahito Could Make a Binding Vow With Yuka

Yuka Okkotsu Is Seriously Sick

The recent appearance of Mahito in the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 7 has led fans to wonder if he’s truly returning to the story. This speculation is especially strong because Yuka Okkotsu is now facing serious health problems – a brain tumor – and Mahito’s ability to manipulate souls could potentially both heal and control her. Many believe this connection is intentional and will be a key part of the upcoming plot.

In Jujutsu Kaisen, Mahito previously made a deal with Kokichi Muta (Mechamaru). He promised to fix Kokichi’s body if Kokichi would betray others. Though both got what they wanted, Mahito later killed Kokichi. Because of this past event, it’s possible Mahito is involved in helping Yuka recover in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.

This situation feels different than what happened with Mechamaru, especially with strong characters like Maru and Tsurugi Okkotsu now involved. However, it’s still just speculation. Mahito’s appearance in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo could be a brief one, or simply a way to show that curses are never really gone for good in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Mahito Might Still Be Waiting for Yuji Itadori

Yuji Itadori Might Still Be Alive in JJK Modulo

Mahito’s brief appearance in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has sparked hope among fans not only for Yuka Okkotsu’s potential recovery, but also for Yuji Itadori’s fate. Many are eager to see Yuji actively involved in the sequel, whether as an older version of himself or as an adult, and are hoping he’s alive and plays an important part in the story.

So, it’s not him after all? —Mahito

Yuji Itadori and Mahito have always been enemies in Jujutsu Kaisen, disagreeing on almost everything. That’s why fans were intrigued when Mahito said, “So, it’s not him after all?” in a dream sequence. Many now think Mahito could still be waiting for Yuji in a sort of afterlife, suggesting Yuji might not actually be dead. The fact that Mahito hasn’t found Yuji yet supports this idea.
