The first chapter wasted no time, opening with the shocking death of Yuta Okkotsu and the introduction of Maru, a mysterious alien, alongside two new sibling leads.

Chapter 1 Recap
Rather than easing into familiar territory, Gege Akutami jumped nearly 70 years into the future, long after the climactic Shinjuku events of the original series.
The opening shocker? Yuta Okkotsu is dead. Once considered the strongest sorcerer and Gojo’s successor, his passing signals the end of an era. His grandchildren, Yuka Okkotsu (who inherits his cursed energy talent) and Sudugi Okkotsu (born with a heavenly restriction reminiscent of Maki and Toji), take center stage as the new protagonists.
The siblings’ bond is strained by family legacy—symbolized by Yuta’s ring, first entrusted to Yuka, but later passed to Sudugi—planting emotional tension at the heart of the story.
Meanwhile, Earth faces an entirely new threat: the arrival of aliens called Simurians, who appear to wield cursed energy themselves. This revelation suggests deep ties between extraterrestrial life and the origins of jujutsu.
The chapter then introduces Maru, initially presented as a foreign investigator, but later revealed to be an alien. His hidden ability—a third eye that instantly incapacitates opponents—saves the siblings during a child abduction case, but also exposes his true nature. The chapter closes on this revelation, leaving both the Okkotsus and readers to grapple with what his existence means for the jujutsu world.
What to Expect in Chapter 2 (Speculation)
Chapter 2 will likely focus on the fallout of Maru’s reveal. Key questions loom:
- Who is Maru really, and why is he on Earth?
- What role do the Simurians play in the new world order?
- Can humans and aliens truly coexist within the framework of cursed energy?
The siblings now face a dilemma—do they protect Maru’s secret, or expose him as a threat? This secrecy mirrors how cursed energy itself was once hidden from the public in the original series.
Another lingering question: Does the Jujutsu Academy still exist? If so, Chapter 2 may introduce it in this new era. Imagine the chaos of an alien like Maru joining the academy—it would shake up its dynamics and set the stage for natural rivalries, alliances, and ideological clashes.
Why Modulo Feels Different
Unlike many spin-offs, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo isn’t just a continuation—it’s a reinvention.
By skipping decades ahead, killing off beloved characters, and introducing alien life tied to cursed energy, Gege Akutami avoids rehashing the past. Instead, the series leans into mystery, secrecy, and legacy, while preserving the raw intensity that made Jujutsu Kaisen a global hit.
If Chapter 1 was about shocking the audience, Chapter 2 will likely begin grounding the narrative—establishing rules, fleshing out world-building, and clarifying how sorcerers, aliens, and humanity intersect in this new era.
Chapter 2 promises to deepen the mystery around Maru, expand on the Okkotsu siblings’ roles, and peel back the layers of a transformed jujutsu world. Fans should prepare for answers—but also even more questions that will carry Modulo forward for years to come.
