For Jujutsu Kaisen fans, the story of Yuji, Megumi, and the sorcerers has always been a thrilling journey. Although the original series has ended, the anticipation for a new future for the world of sorcerers has never died. And now, that has become a reality with Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo .
The surprising collaboration between Gege Akutami – the father of Jujutsu Kaisen and Yuji Iwasaki – the author of Cipher Academy has expanded the world of Jujutsu Kaisen in a sci-fi direction, instead of purely urban mystery like the original. From the very beginning, Modulo has not only been a spin-off project, but has truly become a continuation of the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
Alien villain on par with Sukuna
In the very first chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo , the story revolves around the invasion of Earth by an alien race called the Simurians. The story takes place in the future, where technology is highly developed and has a strong science fiction color. The most prominent highlight is the appearance of a new alien race - those who are immediately considered a Special Level threat, equivalent to Sukuna in the original.
It's no secret that Sukuna is the strongest villain, a monster that has caused irreparable damage to the world. The fact that Simurians are on the same level as Sukuna positions Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo 's villains as the strongest enemies ever seen in the entire franchise. This creates a sense of awe and a huge amount of anticipation for the upcoming battles.
This change brings a breath of fresh air to the franchise. Audiences are no longer just facing Curse Spirits, but now cosmic beings with mysterious powers. This is a risky but promising move, helping Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo escape the oversized shadow of the original series and create its own identity.

Is Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo escalating too quickly?
Introducing villains as strong as Sukuna right from chapter 1 makes many people worry that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo might suffer from the "disease" that many anime have for sequels - increasing power too quickly, making the story's pace easily become rushed.
However, there is one point worth noting: Modulo was originally a short series, set in the distant future, with little direct connection to the main plot. Therefore, no matter how powerful the Simurians are, they do not diminish the value and legacy of the original Jujutsu Kaisen. On the contrary, it is this difference that makes Modulo more independent and interesting.
The existence of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has made the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise more attractive than ever. With powerful new villains and a unique sci-fi setting, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo promises to bring interesting experiences. No matter how powerful the Simurians are, Hobiverse believes that this series will add more color to the magic universe that we love.
