Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18: Release date and everything we need to know 

After an interesting event that took place in the fight between Maru and Tsurugi, fans have been waiting for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18. In this spin-off, we have entered the final phase, as it was confirmed that the series is only going to be serialized for six months. Now that the final confrontation has begun, readers should expect the following chapters to be heavy on the action and less on the world-building.

According to official sources, it is confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18 will be released on January 18, 2026. This chapter is going to be available to read on Shueisha Manga Plus and Viz Media. Fans are eagerly waiting for this chapter to come because Rika has entered the battle, and everyone is on the edge of their seats because it seems like humanity now has a fighting chance to win against the Simurians.

Recap of Chapter 17

In this chapter, we saw Tusrugi recollecting the past, where we learn that their father disappeared after Yuka was born. But that was not the highlight of this installment because the focus was quickly shifted to the battle, and for a while, Maru had the upper hand. Everything changed when Rika made an entrance and gave an easy option to Tsuguri to combine their forces and fight against Maru.

This was an easy choice, and what followed next was a panel where he had fused with Rika, and they did not waste any time in starting aggressively attacking. The fact that Tsurugi, someone with virtually no cursed energy, was able to do so instantly raised questions about inheritance, compatibility, and the strange legacy of the Okkotsu family. Chapter 17 ended with Maru visibly shaken, as he was shocked by these events that took place.

What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18? (Speculative)

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18 is expected to dive straight into the aftermath of Tsurugi and Rika’s fusion. Fans are eager to finally see what this new form is capable of beyond raw presence. The fan discussions on social media have led readers to some speculations about what to expect from the upcoming installment:

Trending

• While the fused form hasn’t yet displayed destruction on the scale of Dabura or Mahoraga, its implications are enormous. Rika’s defining trait in the original series was her near-limitless cursed energy, which could effectively turn Tsurugi into a living cursed weapon, boosting his durability, physical power, and potentially granting access to advanced techniques like Reverse Cursed Technique.
• There is also the emotional and thematic angle. Unlike Yuta’s gentle, protective bond with Rika, Tsurugi’s relationship with her is far more volatile and comedic, with constant bickering and sharp remarks (including her blunt comparison of him to Maki Zenin). That dynamic could play a key role in how this fusion functions in battle.
• Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18 may also begin to address lingering mysteries teased throughout Modulo: Yuji Itadori’s shadowy role behind the scenes, Mahito’s unsettling reappearance, and how figures like Dabura and Mahoraga will collide with this new power shift.

In the end, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18 is going to be a rollercoaster ride because whether it focuses on Maru versus Tsurugi or Dabura versus Mahoraga, both of them are equally intense, and that is more than enough to keep readers hooked.
