Should Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo get an anime adaptation? Possibilities explored

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo dropped in September 2025 like a meteor strike nobody saw coming. The sequel was much more than just another volume of an already established series. The idea was to take the "curse spirit" concept from the previous series to a Galaxy far away, with the idea of Yuta Okkotsu's descendants riding on their "alien spacecraft" in order to attack, invade, or conquer other planets.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo should absolutely get an anime adaptation. Shueisha has already filed applications for many of the anime based on their properties, including this. They've already received more than 430,000 readers on the first chapter, and you can expect that number to grow. In addition, the six-month serialization will make it ideal for an anime that has no fillers or wasted time.

The filing of the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo trademark by Shueisha on 1st September 2025 is huge evidence that Shueisha wants to do something with the property. The trademark was granted on 9th September, a week later, covering Classes 9, 16, 25, 28, and 41 relating to animated content, DVDs, CDs, graphic reproductions, and recorded video files.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo's Explosive Debut Performance

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo achieved remarkable success within weeks of launch. The first chapter got more than 430k views on Manga Plus, which means it was the most popular thing on the site. There are tons of readers still interested in the stories from Gege Akutami.

All the new characters introduced in the sequel, especially Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu, who are actually related to Yuta Okkotsu (who is a really popular character). These little connections give readers a reason to invest time in reading about those characters. The year was 2086, so it opens up a lot of new possible stories, but at the same time keeps it connected to the original.

MAPPA's Schedule Creates Timing Opportunities

Jujutsu Kaisen's production process endorses waiting to announce upcoming seasons instead of rushing productions. MAPPA is still currently creating more seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen, with Season 3 expected to start in January 2026. In terms of the original manga's completion, it could take MAPPA an estimated 4-5 years, if they follow a four-season format.

Having more time between seasons also gives the adaptation of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo a huge advantage. In fact, Akutami intended for Modulo to have a 6-month serialization, with about three volumes being planned for release. So by the time that MAPPA wraps up the adaptation of the base series, Modulo likely will have wrapped up as well.

Market Conditions Align for Announcement Cycles

Developers traditionally announce when the manga has been completely finished, giving the studio the ability to make a decision about the production of the movie/series. Announcements are usually made several months after the final volume has been released.

Following established patterns, Modulo could receive animation confirmation in late 2026 or throughout 2027. By the end of Winter 2026, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will start airing, so the franchise will have exposure, and there is high interest in the franchise because of the attention the main series gets when it first airs. Publishers will typically take advantage of large releases to create excitement about their related properties.

The Verdict

Trending

Every indicator suggests Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo will receive anime treatment. Trademark classifications, viewership metrics, publisher patterns, and franchise value create overwhelming evidence. The question shifts from "if" to "when" and "which studio."

Realistic timelines place announcements anywhere from late 2026 through 2028. The main series needs completion first. Modulo requires publication completion. Studios need scheduling openings. These factors combine to necessitate patience despite positive signals.
