The world of Jujutsu Kaisen has once again left fans in awe. In chapter six of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, readers were treated to a stunning revelation — the adult version of Yuji Itadori. Although the sequel primarily follows a new generation of sorcerers descended from Yuta and Maki, a gripping flashback has brought Yuji back into focus, reshaping how fans view the power hierarchy in the post-Gojo era.
Yuji’s Adult Form: A Glimpse Into the Future

In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo chapter six, Yuji Itadori appears older and battle-worn, with familiar scars that instantly transport fans back to the events of the Shibuya Incident. His partially hidden face under a hoodie only adds to the mystique, but his presence is unmistakable — mature, composed, and far more powerful than ever before.
The flashback reveals Yuji clashing with a cursed user so strong that even decades later, the villain vividly remembers fleeing from him. This moment is more than just nostalgia — it solidifies Yuji’s reputation as a formidable sorcerer, one who not only survived the chaos of Sukuna’s reign but became the ultimate force to maintain balance in the cursed world.
The Successor to Satoru Gojo’s Legacy
While Satoru Gojo once stood as the world’s strongest sorcerer, his absence left a massive void in the Jujutsu world. Modulo confirms that Yuji Itadori filled that gap, evolving into the perfect successor. His unmatched strength, control over cursed energy, and emotional balance made him the stabilizing force the sorcerer world desperately needed.
Unlike Gojo’s ruthless confidence, Yuji’s strength comes from compassion. The flashback suggests he spared enemies when he could — a reflection of his humanity and deep moral code. Yet, his sheer aura terrified those who opposed him, showing that Yuji had become a figure even curses whispered about in fear.
The Symbolism of Yuji’s Return

For fans, seeing Yuji again is more than a simple callback. It’s a powerful emotional bridge connecting the original story with the next generation of Modulo characters. His reappearance reminds readers that while new heroes rise, the legacies of those before them continue to shape their paths.
The cursed user’s terrified recollection of Yuji serves as a narrative anchor — a symbol of how legends echo across time in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. It also raises anticipation for potential reveals about how Yuji’s final years unfolded after his climactic battle against Sukuna.
The Future of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
With this reveal, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has reignited global fan interest. The sequel not only expands the lore but also deepens emotional connections to the original series. Fans are already speculating if other iconic characters might make appearances through flashbacks or inherited powers.
Yuji’s return in Modulo confirms that his story, though concluded in the main timeline, continues to shape the future of Jujutsu society. His influence is now felt through the new generation — and possibly through mysteries yet to unfold.
