Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17: Rika makes a comeback to help Tsuguri's battle with Maru as readers get more lore on the Gojo Clan

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 is most probably one of the most intense chapters by Gege Akutami. As there are two major battles ongoing in this series, which seem to be the final fights in this spin-off series, it seems like both of them will end up with irreparable repercussions. The fate of humanity is hanging by a thread, and this chapter is a grim reminder that anything can happen in a battle.

While fans were hoping to get an update on the battle between Yuka versus Dabura, readers were not disappointed when all of the focus was only on Maru and Tsuguri, because there was some interesting lore revealed on the Gojo Clan. More specifically, Itaodri has had some input to give with the clan, so it confirms that he is indeed involved with them. Meanwhile, there was also some information behind the father of Tsuguri and Yuka, who had disappeared after his daughter was born.

Maru’s overwhelming dominance

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 wastes no time showing just how terrifying Maru truly is. Once he stops holding back, his cursed technique turns the battlefield into a nightmare. Gravity, orientation, and direction become meaningless as Maru manipulates the environment with brutal telekinetic precision. Buildings become weapons. Vehicles rain down like artillery.

Despite Tsurugi’s Heavenly Restriction, granting him monstrous physical strength at the cost of cursed energy, he is completely outmatched. Even with his cursed tool and elite combat instincts, Maru’s awakened power leaves Tsurugi battered, broken, and on the brink of death. It’s a brutal reminder that raw physicality alone cannot stand against a fully realized cursed technique of this caliber.

The return of the Queen of Curses

Just as the fight reaches its bleakest point, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 delivers its defining moment: Rika appears. This time, Tsurugi is given one choice to make: if he chooses to accept her help, he will get a power boost. What follows is one of the most shocking transformations in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen franchise. Instead of merely being summoned, Rika merges with Tsurugi, using his body as her vessel.

This fusion has caused the fandom to lose its mind because no one could have seen it coming. The tables have turned to the point that Maru would most likely not be able to keep up with it, even if he uses his cursed technique. It seems not to be enough. Absolute physical dominance combined with special-grade cursed energy results in a being that feels dangerously close to the level once occupied by Sukuna and Gojo.

For now, this moment has reframed the stakes, and if things like this were to go on in the Yuka versus Dabura fight, then chances are that she also might end up winning, and the Simurians will have to end up moving to another planet.

This chapter reminds readers that the true turning point may be happening elsewhere on the battlefield between Maru and Tsurugi Okkotsu.

For now, everyone is excited to know how Gege Akutami will build on these battles, and for a second, it seems like readers are more invested in the battle than being focused on the outcome.
