The highly anticipated Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 6 is set to release in a week. Following the chaotic events of Chapter 5, the new installment promises to dive deeper into Maru’s mysterious powers, the aftermath of the battle against the senile sorcerer Masaki Takeda, and the long-awaited reveal of how the “Marmalade Boy” technique connects to the greater lore of Jujutsu Kaisen.

As confirmed by official sources, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 6 will arrive on October 12, 2025, with digital releases available on VIZ Media’s Shonen Jump app and MANGA Plus platforms shortly after Japan’s publication.

Fans can expect the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 6 to be around 19 pages, continuing the current fight’s fallout and potentially unveiling new details about the alien faction teased since Chapter 3. Given the cliffhanger involving Maru’s mysterious third eye opening, the wait for this chapter is especially tense.


Recap: The chaos of Chapter 5

In Chapter 5, the story centered on Tsurugi Okkotsu and Yuka confronting Masaki Takeda, a curse user who poses as a perpetual first grader through a grotesque shikigami called Maternal Wraith’s Fury: Marmalade Boy.

What initially seemed like a tragic case of a cursed child turned into something far darker: an elderly sorcerer using cursed flesh and spirits to stay young forever. The chapter’s title and the term Marmalade Boy caught fans’ attention for its layered symbolism.

It references the 1990s shojo manga of the same name, where the male lead is described as “sweet on the outside, bitter on the inside.” In this twisted homage, Takeda embodies that duality, a soft-spoken old man masking unspeakable cruelty beneath.

Meanwhile, Tsurugi showcased his mastery over New Shadow Style: Simple Domain, a fresh take on the iconic barrier technique seen in Jujutsu Kaisen. Interestingly, Takeda even questioned whether Tsurugi hailed from one of the Big Three Clans, confirming his Heavenly Restriction.

This revelation deepens the lore, as it connects the next generation of sorcerers directly to figures like Toji Fushiguro and Maki Zenin, whose physical prowess defined their fighting styles. Perhaps the biggest tease in Chapter 5 came at the very end. Maru, who had been unconscious since his fight with Takeda, suddenly awakened as his third eye opened.

Objects began to levitate around him, echoing the eerie opening panel featuring a little girl’s room where toys floated mid-air. Fans speculate that these scenes are linked, suggesting Maru’s telekinetic powers were unconsciously spreading across the area.

The real question, though, is whether this phenomenon is tied to his Sumeran heritage or his connection to his brother, Cross. In previous chapters, it was implied that activating certain abilities might alert Cross to his location, possibly reigniting conflict between humans and the mysterious alien faction.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 6 will likely pick up right where the last panel left off, with Maru’s powers erupting and the others reacting to his sudden reawakening. Fans are expecting answers to several key questions:

  • Will Maru’s abilities expose the truth about his connection to Cross and the Sumerans?
  • Is Takeda really gone, or will Marmalade Boy resurface for a final strike?
  • And most importantly, what does Maru’s third eye truly signify?

Given how Modulo has balanced world-building and psychological tension so far, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 6 could be the turning point where the story shifts from isolated exorcism missions to full-scale interspecies conflict.

With its clean visuals, haunting tone, and lore-driven storytelling, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is proving itself worthy of its parent series’ legacy. The upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 6 promises not only high-stakes action but also a deeper dive into what makes this spinoff so compelling, its human heart amid supernatural horror.
