Yuji Itadori, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, had to step away from the spotlight for other main characters like Gojo and Yuta. In the end, Yuji managed to shine in the endgame. But the JJK series ended abruptly before we got to see our favorite hero becoming the strongest sorcerer of his generation. Well, we have finally gotten a chance to see adult Yuji Itadori in action, thanks to Gege, who decided to bring back his brainchild to his new spin-off manga. So, if you are curious about Yuji’s future, learn everything about Yuji Itadori’s role in JJK Modulo here.
Spoilers Warning: This article contains spoilers about Itadori Yuji in Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo. Read at your own discretion if you wish to learn more about his role in the spin-off manga.
Is Yuji Still Alive in JJK Modulo?
When Dabura challenged the humans to a duel, the sorcerers’ association began their search for Yuji, as he is the only hope against the Sukuna-level threat. This search essentially confirmed that Itadori Yuji is still alive during the events of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. After a brief period of mentions and cameos, Itadori Yuji made his appearance in JJK Modulo chapter 19.
Upon his arrival, it was clear that Itadori Yuji is the strongest sorcerer of this era, much like Gojo Satoru was back then. Neither did he immediately come to the rescue, nor did he take the humans’ side in the ongoing interplanetary conflict. Yuji left the matter to the younger generation, and he remarked that he would step in only on the battlefield when things went wrong.
How Old Is Yuji Itadori in JJK Modulo?
Itadori Yuji is currently 83 years old in the present-day of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. The main events of the Jujutsu Kaisen series took place between 2017 and 2018 when Yuji Itadori was 15 years old. Now, JJK Modulo’s story is set in late 2086 and early 2087, so the series takes place nearly seven decades later. So, yes, our boy Itadori Yuji, who was just a teenager in the main series, has all grown up and is now an old man in JJK Modulo.
Although Yuji is in his 80s, he doesn’t appear like an old man. As Yuji was the vessel of Sukuna in the past, he has an unusually long lifespan and ages very slowly compared to other humans. That is exactly why Yuji remains dashing and young despite being an 83-year-old character in JJK Modulo.
Yuji’s Role in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
Think of Gojo’s role in the main Jujutsu Kaisen series. Yuji Itadori plays a much similar role in JJK Modulo. He doesn’t intervene in Tsurugi or Yuka’s battle against the Simurians. Rather, he clears out all the cursed spirits escaping from Tokyo. Then, Yuji meets Maru in the soul pathway and helps him reach a conclusion about altering the souls, which would lead to a future where both the humans and Simurians can coexist in harmony.
No one can deny that Yuji’s vast knowledge about the Jujutsu world and cursed spirits was a key to achieving peace. Even after a peaceful future was secured, Yuji becomes the protector once again as he declares to eliminate the few new curses that will continue to emerge in the future. Earlier, Yuji mentioned that he will continue to live for the next 300 or 400 years, so Yuji will continue to remain a guardian who keeps the world without sorcerers a safe place to live.
What Are Yuji’s Abilities in Modulo?
Having honed his jujutsu skills over seven decades, Yuji Itadori is the strongest sorcerer in JJK: Modulo. Fortunately, we got to see Yuji in action very closely in his battle against Mahito and the Simurians. So, here are all the abilities of Yuji in JJK Modulo:
- Blood Manipulation and Piercing Blood: Yuji has mastered blood manipulation, as he can unleash multiple arrows of piercing blood and precisely control each.
- Black Flash: Yuji has now perfected Black Flash as well. He can now hit multiple Black Flashes as he desires.
- Dismantle: Itadori has now fully honed Sukuna’s dismantle technique to a level that he can freely send a myriad of slashes to slash everything within his range.
And that’s everything you need to know about Itadori Yuji’s role and abilities in JJK: Modulo. Yuji’s appearance may have seemed like a gimmick at first, but the creator went on to significantly expand Yuji’s story and give him a great ending, which he failed to do in the main series.
