Jujutsu Kaisen gave us some of the most amazing characters, among which were Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi, everyone’s favorite trio. While the manga series concluded in late 2024, I don’t think anyone would forget the hilarious moments or one-liners the trio blessed us with. Now, a JJK spin-off titled Jujutsu Kaisen Mojuro (Modulo) has been released, bringing in a new trio as the lead protagonists – Yuuka, Tsurugi, and Maru.
Yuuka, Tsurugi and Maru Take Center Stage in Mojuro
Like Jujutsu Kaisen had Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara, Mojuro introduced us to the new lead trio: Yuuka, Tsurugi, and Maru. While the first chapter didn’t give us the opportunity to get to know them majorly, it did let us learn about who they are and what they’re up to. Yuuka and Tsurugi are the grandkids of our beloved Yuta and Maki.
Yuuka was close to her granddad, Yuta, and the latter was the favourite of his grandmom, Maki. Initially, the series presents them to us, and later, they are joined by Maru, the foreign sorcerer, who arrives in Japan to see how things work for the Japanese sorcerers.
Tsurugi and Yuuka are connected by blood, while Maru is an outsider whom they have to take into their group to investigate the rise of the kidnapping cases in Japan. Initially, the brother-sister duo finds him annoying, so they try to get rid of him.
However, as the story moves forward, the trio is seen fighting together to save the kids whom he teleported. Also, the first chapter concludes with a strange revelation about Maru; it shows him as an alien. No major spoilers about the story have yet been revealed, but after reading the pilot chapter, all I can say is that it will truly bring some of the surprising twists and turns that will make it sustain the hype that it’s creating lately.
Additionally, I hope it gives Yuuka, Tsurugi, and Maru a chance to walk in the footsteps of Jujutsu Kaisen’s iconic trio and carve their names in the reader’s hearts.
