Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo just pulled off something wild. Chapter 10 confirmed Yuji Itadori is alive. Honestly, it feels like Gege is planning something way bigger than anyone realizes. Because here's the thing: keeping Yuji around when this Jujutsu Kaisen sequel could've easily moved on without him screams long-term plans. And a lot of people are thinking this.Why Even Bring Yuji Back in the Jujutsu Kaisen Sequel?Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo (Image Credit: Shueisha)Most sequel manga either kill the original hero or shove them into retirement. It's the safe play. Clean break, fresh start, no baggage. But the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo approach is completely different. Yuji isn't just alive. He's the strongest sorcerer on the planet. They're calling him a deterrence weapon, like he's a walking nuke. That's Gojo-level hype.The story didn't need him, though. Yuka and Tsurugi are solid protagonists. The alien invasion plot is interesting enough on its own. So why bring Yuji back into this Jujutsu Kaisen sequel if you're only planning to run it for three volumes? That's what keeps bugging readers. You don't resurrect your main character, make him absurdly powerful, and then just drop the whole thing after six months. That doesn't make sense.There's Way Too Much Left HangingHere's where the speculation gets interesting. This Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo series is supposed to be short. Maybe 20-ish chapters total. But think about everything they've set up. Yuji has unfinished business with Mahito, who showed up briefly in Chapter 7. That's a 60-year-old grudge we're talking about. We also never saw what Yuji's Domain Expansion actually does. He used it against Sukuna, but the details got skipped.Then there's Dabura, this new alien powerhouse who's apparently Sukuna-tier. Plus, the whole political mess with the Simurians. And Yuji is in hiding for reasons nobody's explained yet. The higher-ups are actively hunting for him. No way the Jujutsu Kaisen sequel wraps all that up cleanly in a few dozen chapters. It's just not realistic.The Immortality Factor Is HugeYuji in Jujutsu Kaisen (Image Credit: Shueisha)This is probably the biggest hint that Akutami is cooking up future sequels. Yuji has barely aged despite being 84 years old. The manga explained that consuming the Death Paintings turned him into something like a cursed object. Being Sukuna's vessel probably messed with his biology, too. So while everyone else died naturally, including Yuta and Maki, Yuji just keeps going.Think about what that means for storytelling. If Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo establishes that Yuji can live for centuries, you could jump forward in time again. Maybe another sequel set in 2150. Or 2200. Different eras, different casts, different threats. But Yuji's always there, this immortal protector who shows up whenever things get apocalyptic. That's too good a premise to waste on one short sequel.What if Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Was Just Part One?Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo (Image Credit: Shueisha)The fan reaction has been insane. Chapter 10 sent Yuji Itadori trending worldwide within hours. People are already connecting dots between Simurian markings and Sukuna's tattoos. Theory threads are exploding with speculation about what Yuji's been doing for six decades. This level of hype doesn't just evaporate.And Akutami's watching all this happen. He sees the numbers, reads the reactions, and knows what fans want. You don't accidentally stumble into this kind of momentum. The Jujutsu Kaisen sequel already proved there's massive demand for stories beyond the original timeline. Keeping Yuji alive and mysterious is the perfect anchor for multiple sequel series.Here's a theory: Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is a test run. Akutami wants to see if fans will accept time skips and new characters while keeping one familiar face as the constant. If it works (and it clearly is working), he can keep doing this. Jump forward another 50 years for the next sequel. Then another 50 after that. Each time with Yuji as the bridge between generations.ConclusionThe setup of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is just too perfect to be accidental. An immortal protagonist carrying decades of trauma and guilt? Who's strong enough to fight cosmic-level threats? Who has multiple unresolved storylines waiting to explode? Yeah, that's not an ending. That's a franchise blueprint. And honestly, I'm here for it.
