It's time to admit that JJK Modulo has already surpassed the original Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu Kaisen is a phenomenal series created by the famous mangaka, Gege Akutami. Over the years, Jujutsu Kaisen has become one of the greatest shonen series ever, dominating both the manga and anime industries, sometimes even surpassing the likes of One Piece in sales during its serialization. The hype Jujutsu Kaisen generated is hard to compare to, and its conclusion certainly came as a blow to many fans.

Fortunately, Gege has returned with a sequela series called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. Although Modulo is still relatively new, one thing has become very clear, and that is the fact that in some aspects of storytelling, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo may already be superior to the original Jujutsu Kaisen manga. The story of Modulo and its characters has been handled in such a way that the fans are already completely hooked, and it does so without the need for the old generation characters, which is a testament to the quality of Gege Akutami's writing.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo may already be better than the original in some ways

• Modulo's writing has been phenomenal

• JJK Modulo fixes major problems in the original series

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is the official sequel to JJKwritten by the same mangaka, Gege Akutami. Gege's comeback after about a year hiatus has been very well received by fans all over the world who missed his original series immensely.

While Jujutsu Kaisen fans would give Modulo a read whether it was good or not, the series has actually managed to shock many. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has already proven with its small chapters that it has enormous potential. In some aspects, many fans already prefer it over the original series.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has a fresh new cast, with little input so far from old familiar characters, and yet the excitement is there, and fans still tune in every week to read it. The truth is, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo fixes some issues with the original Jujutsu Kaisen manga struggled with.

The new trio of Modulo features characters that all have deep relevance to the plot. Yuka, Tsurugi, and Maru are all interesting and unique characters in their own ways. Meanwhile, the original series only focused on Yuji after a certain point, and even that was somewhat rushed in the end.

The Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga also has more exciting world building than the original series, with far fewer chapters. Gege has gone out of his way to add interesting details to the aliens introduced, and he has done it so incredibly well. Characters feel real and they exist on their own, not just to act as plot devices for the MC. Gege has even delved into flashbackssomething he was against in the original series.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo stands as one of the best official sequels

• The new characters are interesting in their own right

• The story is fresh, but keeps the air of Jujutsu Kaisen alive

There is always a great fear for fans of major series when a sequel or spin-off is announced. After all, most sequels in the past have been bad, and some even ruined the legacy of the original series for fans with terrible treatment of the old cast to prioritize the new characters. Not only are the original cast often treated horribly, but they are often the appeal of the entire series, and without them, no one would even care to see what develops.

Jujutsu Kaisen Moduloat least so far, has been different. Modulo's new cast has fans deeply invested because they are brilliantly written and they exist as their own characters. Even without the old characters, this series is incredibly exciting, and fans really hope Gege handles other aspects of it well.

Whether Modulo will keep the quality up or stagnate remains to be seen, but the signs are good so far, and the series is off to a very strong start in Weekly Shonen Jump.
