Why Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Is Better Than JJK?
Jujutsu Kaisen was already super popular! Everyone loved exciting parts like the Shibuya Incident, the Culling Game, and the battle between Gojo and Sukuna. But now there’s a sequel called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, and it’s showing that this amazing story isn’t finished yet!
Modulo happens many years in the future with new characters and new dangers. Instead of just copying the original, it actually makes some things better!
Let’s look at 5 reasons why Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo can feel even more amazing than the original series.
1. A Bigger World With More to Explore
In the original Jujutsu Kaisen, most of the story was about sorcerers fighting curses. The battles looked incredible, but we didn’t learn much about how the whole world worked outside of fighting.
Modulo changes everything by adding something new: aliens!
The story takes place in the year 2086 (that’s about 60 years from now). A new alien race called the Simurians comes to Earth looking for a safe place to live.
Here’s what makes this exciting:
- Simurians have their own cursed energy and history
- They’re connected to mysterious beings called Kalyans, which changes everything we thought we knew about curses
- The story includes real-world problems like politics, racism, religion, and who has power
There are even scary things happening like a “Special Grade Incident” and bad people using children as “batteries” for cursed energy!
The danger isn’t just monsters anymore. Now the characters have to talk to each other, make deals, and think carefully about their choices—not just fight. This makes the world feel more real and interesting!
2. Fights That Are Easier to Understand
Near the end of the original Jujutsu Kaisen, something annoying happened. During fights, the story would suddenly stop and show you big boxes of text explaining every tiny rule of every technique. It broke the excitement and confused a lot of readers.
Modulo fixes this problem in a smart way!
Instead of stopping to explain everything, the fights teach you how powers work while the action is happening. You learn through:
- What the characters do
- What they say to each other
- What they think while fighting
For example, when Dabura Karaba fights Mahoraga, you understand his cursed techniques as he tries new moves and sees what Mahoraga can adapt to. It’s like learning by watching instead of reading a boring instruction manual!
Characters like Maru (who might become as strong as Gojo one day) discover the limits and rules of their powers while they fight. You discover them at the same time!
This way, you don’t feel like you’re reading a textbook in the middle of an exciting battle. The story keeps moving fast, and you stay excited while still understanding everything that’s happening.
3. The Story Feels More Planned Out
Some fans felt that the final part of the original manga was a bit messy, like the author was making it up as they went along. Modulo feels different—it feels like the writers knew the ending before they even started!
Here’s why the story feels more organized:
- Gege Akutami (the original creator) writes the story, while Yuji Iwasaki draws the art. This teamwork helps make everything more structured.
- Old hints about cursed energy in space and non-human beings connected to curses finally make sense now!
- Ideas that were small in the original series (like Mechamaru mixing technology with jujutsu) are now huge themes. The whole world mixes high technology with magic!
Plus, Modulo is planned to be shorter—about three volumes total. This means each chapter has a clear purpose. There’s no room for random side stories that don’t matter. Every chapter moves you closer to the big ending!
4. New Heroes With Connections to Old Favorites
Many sequels make mistakes. Either they use old characters too much, or they forget about them completely. Modulo does something smart—it finds the perfect balance!
Meet the new main heroes:
The story follows Yuka Okkotsu and Tsurugi Okkotsu. They’re the grandchildren of Yuta and Maki from the original series! This keeps a direct connection to the characters we loved.
But they’re not just copies of their grandparents:
- They have their own fears and dreams
- They have their own personalities
- They face their own unique challenges
Old favorites still appear, but in smart ways:
Big names from the past like Rika and Yuji Itadori show up or are mentioned in ways that help the story move forward. They’re not just there for fans to say “Oh cool, I remember them!” They actually matter to what’s happening now.
The story happens nearly 70 years after Gojo and Sukuna’s time. Now those legendary fighters are like myths and history lessons that affect how the world works!
This means Modulo can stand on its own. New readers can enjoy it for the new cast, and older fans still feel the weight and importance of the original story.
5. Better Pacing With No Wasted Time
The original JJK sometimes felt uneven. Some chapters had super fast battles, then suddenly you’d get slow chapters with tons of information dumped on you all at once. Modulo keeps things more steady and focused.
Here’s how Modulo stays exciting:
- Every chapter moves both the characters’ stories AND the main Simurian mystery forward
- There are almost no meaningless fights—every battle teaches you something new about the enemy, the politics, or how cursed energy really works
- Because the series is shorter and more carefully planned, there’s no “villain of the week” just to fill time
This makes Modulo easier to follow and more fun to read week after week. You feel like you’re always learning something new and getting closer to the big final battle!
