Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17: Release date and everything we need to know

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 has set itself up to be yet another battle-intense chapter, and fans are waiting for this upcoming chapter eagerly. Gege Akutami has been working hard to ensure that every installment of this spin-off series is near-perfect in terms of narration, artwork, and world-building, as it will be serialized on a short-term basis. This means that every panel holds importance, and since the story has begun, it seems like the wheels of the narration have been constantly spinning.

Now in the latest chapter, we see two major fights unfolding: Mahoraga versus Dabura and Tsurugi versus Maru. While both of them ended on major cliffhangers, fans have been speculating that these battles would be the only major fights in Modulo. According to official sources, it is confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 is going to be released on January 4, 2026. There is going to be a small hiatus week because the magazine is taking a small break.

Readers who want to read the manga can do available legally on several digital platforms like Shueisha Manga Plus and Viz Media. While there is no information on how this story is going to go ahead, fans have taken over social media platforms discussing possible plots that Gege could take to push the story forward.

Recap of Chapter 16

Chapter 16 starts right off with the fight against Dabura and Mahoraga. We get some information from the narrator that the move that Yuka has pulled is usually forbidden in the Gojo Clan, but this time, she has permission. The Ten Shadow technique has been passed through the Zen'in clan, but now making this move was necessary for humans.

We also know that Mahoraga has not been fully tamed by any Ten Shadow users, with only Sukuna being an exception. To add on to the unfortunate news, Yuka is in a state of suspended death. This means that she is most likely going to die, and this ritual that she began will only end if Dabura is dead or Mahoraga is destroyed.

If neither of these conditions takes place, then her death is absolute. The highlight of this chapter is the fight between Mahoraga and Dabura because it is a pure spectacle. The narrator officially confirms Mahoraga’s terrifying ability: it can adapt to any phenomenon, making it the ultimate countermeasure in battle.

Meanwhile, the focus shifts to the fight between Tsurugi and Maru. Both of them have their reasons for this battle. One wants to save his sister, and the other wants to save his people. While both of them have their reasons, it turns out that Tsurugi overpowered Maru for most of their fight.

At a point where Maru was knocked down, something interesting happened. His third eye spoke and mocked him. This triggered something in him, and he declares his intent to fight Tsurugi with killing intent, unleashing a reality-warping effect tied to his newly revealed cursed techniques: Chaos and Harmony.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17? (Speculative)

As there was no conclusion to either of the fights, chances are that Jujustu Kaisen Modulo 17 will pick right up from either of these battles. One thing is for sure that things are going to escalate. Some possible events that could take place in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 are:

Trending

• Dabura appears close to fully understanding Mahoraga’s adaptation, which in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 could push him toward using a more extreme or “void-like” application of his technique. Whether that’s enough to end the ritual and save Yuka remains uncertain.
• Maru’s clash with Tsurugi is entering its most dangerous phase. The reveal of Chaos and Harmony suggests a technique capable of manipulating balance, order, and entropy itself. Fans are also deeply unsettled by the third eye’s behavior, with many theorizing that it may be revealed in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 that there is a separate consciousness or external influence rather than mere internal monologue.

After the jaw-dropping events in the recent installment, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 is shaping up to be a turning point for the series. With Mahoraga rampaging, Yuka’s life hanging in the balance, and Maru stepping into a darker version of himself, the stakes have never felt higher.
