Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Introduces Adult Yuji Itadori

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo chapter #6

Jujutsu Kaisen's sequel manga has just revealed a first look at one of history's most powerful jujutsu sorcerers, giving fans a glimpse of an adult Yuji Itadori. As Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo continues to revolutionize the world by fostering coexistence between aliens and humans, more information has been shared about the fates of beloved characters from the original series.

Even though Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo follows a new generation of sorcerers descended from Yuta and Maki, which means Yuji Itadori has already passed away by the time the series takes place, he has just returned to the manga in a flashback that proves major changes in the power hierarchy of the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.

Fans Get Their First Look at an Adult Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo

In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo chapter #6, fans got a sneak peek at Yuji Itadori's adult appearance. Despite his face being partially covered by his hoodie, so his facial features aren't as visible, it's easy to determine that Yuji is the powerful Jujutsu sorcerer who gave trouble to the cursed user currently fighting Tsurugi and Maru.

While he looks more mature, fans can recognize Yuji's scars, both near his lip and above his eye, which he obtained in the Shibuya Incident arc. Additionally, Yuji's hood in the flashback is similar to the one he wears in the epilogue of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. But the most impressive thing about Yuji is its powerful aura.

Yuji left a huge impression on the cursed user, as he vividly remembers his face after he had to run for his life following his overwhelming defeat. As a result, Yuji's flashback is not just for nostalgic fans that miss the original characters; it also deepens the role he gained as the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer following Gojo's death.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Confirms Yuji Itadori Was the Perfect Successor to Satoru Gojo

In Jujutsu Kaisen's story, it was clear that Satoru Gojo was an anomaly who disrupted the world's balance. However, even as the curses' powers intensified, Gojo's presence was threatening enough to keep them at bay. Thanks to the cursed user's callback in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, it was revealed that Gojo's role went to Yuji Itadori.

However, Yuji has a gentler personality than Satoru Gojo. It's possible that, rather than ruthlessly exorcising them, Yuji let the curse user go and just wanted to scare him enough to make him decide to keep a low profile. Yuji apparently succeeded, as the curse user only returned to his old ways after going senile.

Nevertheless, this flashback proves how strong Yuji was after his battle against Sukuna, becoming a figure imposing enough to scare off powerful curse users and help maintain the balance of the world. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo keeps shaking things up with new developments, and fans should expect more information to be revealed from beloved old characters like Yuji in the future.
