Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18 is now officially out after a delay, and as expected, it was an action-packed chapter that features not one but two battles. Of course, the community has been enjoying the intense battle between Mahoraga and Dabura. However, it’s the fight between Maru and Tsurugi that takes the spotlight in the latest chapter. It’s mostly because Chapter 18 of Modulo finally teases Maru’s domain expansion.
Maru’s Domain Expansion Can Shift the Fight’s Momentum in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
Chapter 18 of JJK Modulo begins by taking us right in the middle of Tsurugi and Maru’s battle. We all know about Rika’s return and her merger with Tsurugi, which is unusual for fans and for Maru, who has never seen anything like it. Maru realizes that Tsurugi’s ring has everything to do with Rika’s arrival and this merger. However, this realization doesn’t do any good to Maru when it comes to fighting this enemy.
Tsurugi is an entirely new entity after being merged with Rika, and yes, he’s incredibly powerful. It’s not like Rika has completely taken over Tsurugi, as we see a constant exchange of dialogue between them. Also, the fact that Tsurugi directly talks to Maru proves that he’s still in control, or rather, both Rika and Tsurugi are in control. Regardless, Maru is being constantly pushed over to the edge by Tsurugi, and it almost seems like he’ll win the fight. In fact, at one point, Tsurugi tells Maru he will surely win. But then Maru decides to reveal something we haven’t seen in Modulo yet. That’s right, it’s a Domain Expansion.
I’ll make sure we win this, no matter what..
We have seen several amazing characters in JJK Modulo so far, but it’s Maru who gives us the first Domain Expansion in the series. Apparently, after Tsurugi’s direct challenge, Maru unleashes his power, and his surroundings start to change. Several plants grow near Maru, and he and Tsurugi are surrounded by what we can call a garden of sorts.
Honestly, the narration doesn’t outright confirm that what we are seeing is Maru’s Domain Expansion, but that seems like the only explanation. Also, let’s not forget that Maru is a character who seeks a home that is beautiful and peaceful, and nothing’s more beautiful than a garden. It’s the definition of home to Maru, and it’s likely that his Domain Expansion projects his desire.
That being said, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has yet to confirm if this is indeed Maru’s Domain Expansion and nothing else. But given that the series is about to end pretty soon, we’ll hopefully get our answer in the next chapter.
