This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has done an absolutely brilliant job with all the major characters so far. Fans have seen Gege Akutami create a whole new generation of characters 68 years into the story, and things only seem to get better with each passing chapter. Yet the hallmark of the old characters and story remains. One particular character that fans can't get over is Gojo Satoru.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Gege Akutami has officially revealed the power level of the Alien King

Alien King is powerful, and Gege just revealed his power level in JJK Modulo.

Fans know that Gojo is the face of the whole JJK franchise, which is why he is still talked about even today. It is now essentially confirmed that 68 years later, another wizard of the same caliber as Gojo appeared and it is none other than the old protagonist, Yuji Itadori. Fans already knew he had the potential to reach exactly the same power level as Sukuna. Given that he has now been confirmed to fulfill that potential, it is now essentially a fact that Yuji Itadori surpassed the likes of Gojo Satoru as an adult, and Gege has already explained how.

Gojo was surpassed by the second strongest, Yuji Itadori

Gojo Satoru was a brilliant sorcerer the likes of which Japan had not seen in about 400 years. He was the strongest modern wizard, capable of rivaling Sukuna in battle. Gojo was an absolute monster, but in the Shinjuku Showdown arc, he ended up losing his life fighting Sukuna, specifically because he was fighting a handicap battle.

We must find Yuji Itadori and make him our deterrent against the Simurians. — Japanese wizards in Jujutsu Kaisen

When Gojo died, it felt as if Japan would never have a wizard as talented as him. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. 68 years later, it has been confirmed that Japan gave birth to another monster in Yuji Itadori.

Fans know that Yuji had enormous potential within him. In fact, however, he went on to fulfill it and stand as Japan's all-time strongest. In Modulo, Yuji was confirmed to be a wizard on the same level as Gojo, meaning he had reached special grades. But just because they were on the same level doesn't mean Yuji couldn't have gone further.

Yuji is a threat that can deter Dabura

The main threat that Gege has painted JJK Modulo is clearly Dabura. Although the plot of the story is coexistence between the Simurians and the humans, the fact is that to create any kind of tension, a powerful figure is needed at the opposite end, and that is none other than Dabura. Dabura is said to be as strong as Sukunapotentially even stronger, considering he has 50,000 Simurians with him.

Jujutsu Kaisen New Strongest Sorcerer Yuji

68 years after Gojo's fall, Gege Akutami confirms the new strongest wizard in Jujutsu Kaisen

Gojo was Japan's strongest sorcerer, but that's not the case anymore. Japan has a new number 1 in JJK Modulo.

The fact is that Japan believes that Yuji Itadori can act as a deterrent against themand that in itself is a huge statement. It shows that he went on to fulfill his potential, which was officially confirmed to be equal to Sukunas, who making him stronger than Gojo and potentially even Sukuna himself.

Yuji fulfilled his Sukuna level potential

Yuji is quite a special character and it is his special nature that makes him stronger than Gojo and Sukuna. In fact, Yuji was born from Kenjaku, and he is not a normal human. He has superhuman strength, but more than that, a body that doesn't even age. While others would grow weaker with age, Yuji only gains more experience and strength.

In addition, he has not only the shrine-cursed technologybut also Blood manipulation. He could very well have two different domain expansions at this time. His potential with Shrine alone was equal to Sukuna, but considering his special body and the fact that he has another Cursed Technique, he could very well have surpassed him easily and left even Gojo in the dust.

Jujutsu Kaisen's sequel, called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, is featured in Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 13 will be released on November 30, 2025. The chapter release time is midnight JST, or 11:00 AM ET (8:00 AM PT). Fans can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app.
