AceShowbiz - Warning: This article contains spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga!

The latest sequel in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, titled Modulo, has left fans stunned with the heartbreaking destiny of Yuji Itadori, the original series’ protagonist. After concluding the main story in September 2024, the saga resumed just a year later with a sequel set 68 years into the future, introducing new characters and a dramatically transformed world.

This new manga, written by Gege Akutami and illustrated by Yuji Iwasaki, depicts a Jujutsu world where sorcerers are significantly weaker on average compared to the original timeline. In the past, special-grade sorcerers like Satoru Gojo were regarded as the foundation of the sorcerer society. However, in this sequel era, the new generation struggles to find anyone who can rival those legendary figures.

The story's central conflict revolves around the battle between the sorcerers and the Simurians, a powerful alien race who arrive in Japan seeking refuge. Following brutal clashes between the two factions, the Jujutsu society desperately searches for a sorcerer strong enough to face the formidable Dabura. When no suitable candidate emerges, they entrust Yuka Okkotsu, a terminally ill teenager, to resolve the crisis. This situation hints strongly that no special-grade sorcerer remains except for Yuji Itadori, whose immense powers are undeniable in the sequel.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo officially confirms Yuji Itadori’s status as a special-grade sorcerer. After consuming the Death Paintings before his battle with Ryomen Sukuna, Yuji’s aging drastically slowed, turning him into a half-human, half-curse hybrid. This transformation compelled him to endure a solitary existence, witnessing the passing of everyone close to him over the decades. Despite this loneliness, Yuji’s powers grew to unimaginable levels during this time.

In his climactic fight against Sukuna, Yuji mastered numerous abilities, including Blood Manipulation, Sukuna’s innate technique, Domain Expansion, and the Reverse Cursed Technique. Additionally, Yuji's natural talent for rapidly developing his skills allowed him to refine his powers to perfection over the years, cementing his position as a special-grade sorcerer.

This official ranking was revealed in the final volume of the sequel manga, released on May 1st, 2026. Volume 3 of Modulo contains extra character details and exclusive illustrations that are not yet available on Manga Plus or the Shonen Jump app.

Since the volume has not been officially released in English, the reliable Jujutsu Kaisen news source @Go_Jover on X shared Yuji’s official special-grade ranking. Unlike typical special-grade sorcerers who begin their careers at that level due to their overwhelming abilities, Yuji’s case is unique because he only gained these powers after becoming Sukuna’s vessel.

Yuji’s overwhelming strength in the sequel is showcased in his confrontation with Mahito in Chapter 22, where he effortlessly executes a technique strong enough to defeat Mahito in a single strike without exerting much effort. This feat further solidifies his unparalleled power in this new timeline.

Fans are encouraged to share their thoughts and join the ongoing discussion about the sequel and Yuji’s evolution in the ComicBook Forum.

In addition, Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami has expressed pride in having brought the Modulo sequel to life, marking a significant continuation of the beloved franchise.

The sequel manga not only expands the lore but also reshapes the power dynamics within the Jujutsu world, setting the stage for exciting new developments and characters in the years to come. With Yuji Itadori’s ascension to special-grade sorcerer now official, fans can anticipate thrilling battles and storylines that build on his extraordinary legacy.

As the Modulo series continues to unfold, it remains an essential read for enthusiasts eager to explore the future of the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. The evolving narrative promises to deepen the complexity of the sorcerer world while paying homage to the roots established in the original series.
