Spoiler warning: this article discusses events from the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga.
Jujutsu Kaisen may have wrapped its main manga run, but the curse energy is very much still alive. The sequel series Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has now ended, and artist Yuji Iwasaki is giving fans one more reason to spam the timeline.
Modulo, written by Gege Akutami and illustrated by Iwasaki, concluded in March 2026 after launching in September 2025. From the start, it was positioned as a short sequel project, planned for around six months and no more than three volumes. So no, this was never meant to be another massive long-running arc — more like a sharp follow-up for fans who wanted to see where the JJK world could go after the original chaos.
The setup is pretty wild. Modulo takes place 68 years after the Culling Game, following Yuta’s grandchildren as they step into the life of Jujutsu sorcerers. Their big threat? The Simurians, an alien race with abilities that resemble sorcerer powers. It sounds like a risky direction on paper, but JJK has always been at its best when it mixes horror, power-system madness, and emotional damage, so of course fans paid attention.
The manga’s final volume released on May 1, 2026, adding extra illustrations and character details not available elsewhere. To push that final release, MAPPA dropped a special anime-style video recapping major moments from the story — and the crazy part is, it arrived without warning. No big countdown, no dramatic teaser campaign. Just boom, new JJK content.
Naturally, the internet lost it. The video has already passed 10 million views on YouTube, which tells you everything about the franchise’s pull. For Malaysian and SEA fans, this is the kind of thing that instantly spreads through anime group chats, TikTok edits, and Discord servers. JJK is still one of those titles where even casual anime fans know Gojo, Sukuna, and Domain Expansion references.
To celebrate the response, Iwasaki shared a new illustration by quoting the official Jujutsu Kaisen PR account on X. The artwork highlights some of his favourite scenes from Modulo, with Yuka placed in the centre during the airplane fall before her fight with Dabura. It also features major moments like Rika arriving to save Tsurugi and merging with him.
Of course, the big question now is obvious: will Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo get an anime?
Nothing has been officially announced yet, so don’t start booking cinema tickets lah. But the signs are hard to ignore. MAPPA has handled the Jujutsu Kaisen anime from the beginning, and the studio was also behind this new promotional video. If Modulo gets adapted, MAPPA is the obvious studio to do it.
The timing is the tricky part. The main anime still has unfinished business. Season 4 is expected to cover the Culling Game Arc, though there is still no confirmed release window. After that, the anime still needs to reach the final arc and the showdown against Ryomen Sukuna. With JJK being one of MAPPA’s biggest global properties, it makes sense that the studio would prioritise it — but the queue is still packed.
If Modulo does become an anime, it probably will not need a full two-cour season. The sequel is only 25 chapters, so a compact mini-series under 10 episodes could work, even if MAPPA adds some original scenes. Honestly, that might be the cleanest format: short, polished, no dragging.
For now, fans can read Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo through Manga Plus and Viz Media. English volume release updates are also expected this year.
For SEA fans who followed JJK from cinema screenings to weekly manga pain, Modulo feels like a bonus round — not essential for everyone, but definitely exciting if you’re still invested in the world Akutami built.
