Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is a new story set in the same universe as the original JJK story, with a massive time jump of 68 years.
In 68 years, many powerful wizards have died. This has left a huge void for new talents to emerge, and among them is Yuka Okkotsu. Yuka is one of the new main charactersand in just a few chapters she has established herself as a phenomenal character and a fan favorite.
Yuka is not only incredibly interesting as a character, she has also shown great strength and determination. As Yuta's grandson, she has inherited his enormous cursed energy reserves. This alone makes her a natural wizarding prodigy, but it doesn't stop there for her.
It is a specialized blade for cursed spirits. Sword of Annihilation. It is enveloped in positive energy, similar to the Reverse Cursed Technique. If I were a cursed spirit, I would have been a flight. But he deflected my attacks. He can see it. He can see my damn technique. Not bad! — Ryomen Sukuna Vs Mahoraga, JJK Chapter 118
Through his grandfather, she has also inherited his ring, Rika. Rika is known as the Queen of Cursing, and anyone who can use her powers is dangerous.
However, Yuka didn't just inherit powers from her grandfather's side. The Zenin bloodline through Maki also flows through herand it has granted her one of JJK's most powerful cursed techniques, the Ten Shadows.
Yuka was officially confirmed to be a user of the Ten Shadows Technique in JJK Modulo Chapter 15. After Megumi's potential death, this power has passed on to her, making her a huge threat. As seen in the last chapter, Yuka has already moved on to unlock Mahoraga. There is no other female wizard who could stand against her at the moment.
Yuka could become JJK's new strongest wizard if she survives
It goes without saying Yuka is the strongest female wizard alive right now. On top of that, she might just be the second strongest person alive at the moment. Yuji Itadori, who was recently confirmed to be immortal, is most definitely stronger than her right now.
Everyone else, like Tsurugi and other wizards, cannot compete with the powers of Rika and the Ten Shadows. This is even more impossible now that she has made a binding vow to increase her powers.
I think it was during the Edo period…or maybe Keicho? I forget, but the heads of the respective households killed each other in a fight before the aristocracy. Then the leaders were a Limitless Cursed Technique user with Six Eyes like me for the Gojo Family, and a Ten Shadows technique user like Megumi for the Zenin Family. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? — Gojo Satoru to Megumi Fushiguro, JJK Chapter 117
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.
In general, most Simurians can't beat her either. The only Simurian who can cause her trouble and kill her is Daburawhich is a Sukuna level threat. Yuka easily makes the 3 strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.
If Yuka survives the Dabura battle and her brain tumor is healed by someone like Yuji, she can become JJK's new strongest in the future. Yuka was also able to go on to lead the Gojo clan as its first female leaderas she has a distant connection to them through Michizane Sugawara.
Jujutsu Kaisen has shown a strong female role in the past
Jujutsu Kaisen isn't exactly the series with the best female characters, but it still features some outstandingly powerful women, even before Yuka.
In the original Jujutsu Kaisen, the strongest woman known to fans was Yuki. She was the only woman officially ranked as a special class wizard. Yuki was powerful, but she was unfortunately sacrificed for Kenjaku's sake by Gege.
There is also Maki who stood out. Maki is Yuka's own grandmother, and she probably had the best character arc of any female character in the original JJK. Her storyline with Zenin, and her contribution to Sukuna, made her JJK's most memorable female character.
Yuka Okkotsu has the potential to surpass them alland fans absolutely can't wait to see what Gege does with her in the coming months.
Jujutsu Kaisen's sequel, called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, is featured in Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. The series is set 68 years into the future, after the events of the Shinjuku Showdown. The main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo are Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu, grandchildren of Yuta and Maki. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 16 will be released on December 21, 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.
