This article contains spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo series.
Jujutsu Kaisen giving fans one big shock after another. Fans have always known Gege Akutami to write slightly darker stories and it seems that hasn't changed at all in the sequel series. Right at the beginning of JJK Moduloit was revealed to fans that Gege had officially killed off two of the main characters of the original series, Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin. These two were the core of the victory against the King of Curses, Sukunain Shinjuku Showdown. Their death was indeed a big blow to all fans of the story.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Gege Akutami kills two major JJK characters in the sequel
JJK just killed off two major characters and fans are shocked.
Now, it has apparently been confirmed in history that another great couple that fans came to love towards the end of JJK is dead. This is the couple Megumi Fushiguro and Hana Kurusu. JJK Modulo chapter 13, highlighted their deaths quite clearly, and it also had a profound effect on the main character of the original series, Yuji Itadori.
Megumi Fushiguro and Hana Kurusu are likely dead
Gege Akutami didn't really give the fans any big pairs towards the end of JJK. But he certainly paired them up and left the rest to fans' imaginations. For example, Yuta and Maki were clearly together at the end of the series, and it was only in the sequel that fans found out that they had married and had children and grandchildren.
Kurusu, from now on I will be your right arm. We have a mission, so let's get started. — Megumi Fushiguro to Hana Kurusu
Similar, Gege also set up Megumi and Hana together. However, nothing has been mentioned about them since then. In the special JJK once, Gege also set up Yuji and Ozawa togetherbut again, fans don't know much about what happened to Ozawa.
Right now, it's pretty clear in the story that 68 years after the events of Shinjuku Showdown, most of the main characters are already dead. Both Yuta and Maki have already died. Nobara is still alive, but the others fall one by one. It is highly likely that Ozawa is also dead at this point.
Yuji attended Hana Kurusu's funeral
Especially, Gege seems to imply that both Megumi and Hana are dead. In JJK Modulo Chapter 13, Nobara mentioned that the last time she saw Yuji was during Hana's funeral. The fact that Nobara called Hana by her first name means that she grew very close to her later on.
It also means that her relationship with Megumi probably resulted in them getting married and her taking his last name. This is Gege's way of hiding the fact that she eventually married Megumi.
Gege Akutami Reveals Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo's Best Written Character
JJK wasn't known for his incredible writing, but Gege has exceeded expectations with Modulo.
We are not heroes fighting for justice. We are Jujutsu Sorcerers. No one can ever truly judge us, so we must constantly prove the worth of our existence. And we don't have the luxury of thinking about ourselves. We just have to save people. I believe that was the original principle of your actions. So start saving me, Itadori. — Megumi Fushiguro to Yuji Itadori, Culling Game
The biggest indicator here is the fact that Yuji has basically cut himself off from all his friends. Yuji has dropped them all one by one, and it's too much for him to bear. Towards the end of JJK, Yuji told Megumi that he would struggle to cope with the loneliness without him. If Megumi were to die, along with the likes of Yuta and Maki, it makes sense why Yuji cut himself off completely.
Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin died not too long ago
Besides Megumi and Hana, Gege has also killed many other characters. The biggest shock of all was Death of Maki Zenin. Fans know very well that she has a powerful Heavenly Limitation and a body that is clearly superhuman. If anything, Maki should be one of the last to die.
Yet, for some reason, she died first of all. The shock from her death was so big for Yuta that he couldn't cope and the loneliness eventually took him too.
He's Alive: Jujutsu Kaisen Author Gege Akutami Just Brought Back A Legendary Sorcerer
JJK Modulo just brought back a legendary wizard, and fans are hyped for what's to come.
The last time I saw him was at Hana's funeral. He said he wouldn't go to any more funerals. He might look like a musclehead but he's too sensitive, you know. He just can't bear to see anyone else. — Nobara Kugisaki on Yuji Itadori, JJK Modulo Chapter 13
Now, Nobara is the only character from the old generation known to fans to have survived. Meanwhile, Yuji will continue to live as he doesn't age anymore, as confirmed by Nobara. He is severely depressed due to losing all his friends, and he wants to fulfill his grandfather's last wish to be able to die surrounded by those he loves.
Yuji could die in JJK Modulo
Whether or not he will be able to fulfill that wish remains to be seen. However, given the current events in JJK Modulo, it is highly likely that Yuji will eventually be killed by the new strongest in history, Dabura. His strength is absolutely immense, and he is the only one who can free Yuji from his curse.
Once that happens, Yuji will most likely go on to meet Mahito in the other world and rest in peace. It will certainly be a sad moment in the story, but at the same time it will bring Yuji's story full circle and give him a fitting end.
