Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 13 might just be the twist that fans were bracing themselves for. Since this spin-off series started, readers knew what they signed up for when it was established that Gege Akutami is writing this story. One thing everyone knew about was this creator is infamous of showing fleeting moment of peace and shatter it with unavoidable catastrophe.

The same happened in this chapter as it dealt with the aftermath of Cross (twin brother of Maru) being shot. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 13 showed us on how terrifying Dabura is and what he could be truely capable off. Right now the political tension is off the charts which has set up foundation for a future duel between the humans and the Simurians.

In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 13 we are shown Cross under medical care. Meanwhile Maru is getting caught up on the events and is trying to make sense as to what just happened to his brother. Oski is being stubborn and is not ready to differentiate between cruses and Kalyans and is hell bent on making humans stop purging these curses.

It is getting clear that the idea of coexistance is getting bleaker by the minute. But for not it is not confirmed if Cross is alive or dead and without a proper confirmation it is difficult to determine the next step after Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 13. We are shown that there is a new Jujutsu doctor and she gives similar vibes like Shoko. She confirms that it is impossibly to heal Cross, although the lore behind it is unclear.

The chapter goes on a small flashback that talks about the events after Cross was shot. Dabura makes and enterance and we know that some disater is in making. His aura alone is enough to send shiver down anyones spine. Usami tried to use his cursed speech but Dabura is on another level and continues to walk towards the person responsible for the shooting. He easily ends up slicing the arm of the shooter like it was piece of cake.

In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 13, he demans a sacrifise in return but is interuppted by Usami. The he collapseson his knees, begging Dabura to spare everyone and give diplomacy another chance. Surprisingly, it works and he walks away for now. This scene proves one thing that this addtion to the story makes Dabura scaries than Sukuna.

After Dabura leaves, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 13 jumps forward several times, each by about a month. During these jumps we are shown that the cursed spirits begin flooding out of Tokyo because Jujutsu Headquarters temporarily halts all exorcisms. The Simurians claim they can hear cursed spirits in a way sorcerers can’t, suggesting a unique connection to curses that may alter the balance of power.

The biggest twist arrives in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 13 when the story cuts to Nobara who is now elderly, likely in her 80s. She reveals two things that Megumi is dead and Yuji disappeared after the funeral as he does not want to attend anymore of those as he no longer ages. This confirms previous speculation: Yuji’s body, crafted as the ultimate Sukuna vessel, no longer follows normal human aging.

The Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 13 ends with the Simurians issuing an ultimatum. This duel system was previously introduced in Chapter 9, and all signs pointed toward Yuji being chosen to fight Dabura. Instead, the sorcerers make a baffling decision: They have choose Yuka.

One things that readers are left to wonder about is why pick someone terminally ill, with only weeks left to live, and nowhere near Dabura's power level? This chapter offers no explanation but only a final page that leaves fans confused, nervous, and desperate for answers.


Final thoughts

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 13 is a turning point as it is full of emotion, politics, fear, and unpredictable twists. Fans are already bracing for the fallout of Yuka vs. Dabura, a battle that seems doomed before it even begins.
