JJK Modulo’s Final Chapter Recasts Yuji Itadori’s Fate

After 25 chapters, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has reached its end with a finale that turns its attention away from spectacle and toward legacy. Set 68 years after the events of Jujutsu Kaisen, the follow-up story used its short run to sketch out a world still living with the consequences of Ryomen Sukuna’s return, while pushing the series into stranger territory through humanity’s first contact with the Simurians.

Its final chapter brings that long view back to Yuji Itadori.

Rather than closing on a neat victory or a simple farewell, the chapter leaves Yuji with a future that feels heavy, useful and deeply ironic. In his conversation with Nobara Kugisaki, Yuji says he believes he is destined to become a Cursed Object after death. The implication is hard to miss. The boy who once carried Sukuna is now being placed on a path that resembles Sukuna’s own.

That parallel gives the ending much of its force. When the original Jujutsu Kaisen ended, Sukuna’s last remaining finger was left behind in a box, a final sign that his presence had not been fully erased from the living world. JJK Modulo now suggests that Yuji may one day remain behind in a similar form, not as a returning threat, but as a safeguard for Earth.

The details are not presented as identical. Sukuna’s transformation into a Cursed Object was tied in some way to Kenjaku, and it appeared to involve intent. Yuji’s future sounds less like a choice and more like an unwanted conclusion he has already accepted. Even so, Kenjaku’s shadow remains part of that history, which makes the resemblance between the two fates feel more than symbolic.

What gives the chapter its sting is the contrast between that destiny and Yuji’s original wish. Early in Jujutsu Kaisen, he wanted to die surrounded by friends. That hope now sits beside the possibility of becoming an unaging protector who may continue serving long after an ordinary life should have ended.

There is some comfort in the role he seems ready to accept. JJK Modulo presents Yuji as someone still committed to helping others with his own hands, echoing the lesson left to him by his grandfather. In that sense, the ending stays true to his character even as it places him in a harsher future.

For readers, the final effect is unsettling rather than triumphant. Yuji may remain Earth’s secret weapon for centuries, perhaps longer, but that endurance comes with a cost. JJK Modulo closes not by freeing him from burden, but by showing how completely he has chosen to carry it.
