This article contains spoilers from JJK Modulo.
Society of Wizards i Jujutsu Kaisen has suffered a lot over the years. In the first part of the story, Ryomen Sukuna proved to be quite a massive threat to them. In the end, Sukuna even took the life of the strongest wizard of the time, Gojo Satoru. However, Gojo's sacrifice eventually led to the establishment of a solid peace that lasted for many decades. As explained in JJK Modulochapter 15, for the past 70 years, Japan has enjoyed a rather fragile peace. But this peace has given rise to stagnation, and this stagnation has given rise to weakness, which is why Japan cannot protect itself at this time.
After Yuji Itadori, Gege Akutami finally sets up the new strongest wizard in Jujutsu Kaisen
Yuji is strong, but so is this new wizard in JJK Modulo.
There is a desperate need for the emergence of a new strongest in JJK Modulo, and the fans know it Gege has already chosen the next successor, and the true heir of Gojo Satoru already. If it wasn't abundantly clear by this point in the story, Gojo's true heir in JJK Modulo is none other than Yuka Okkotsu.

Yuka is the daughter of Iori Okkotsu

She has inherited The Ten Shadows Technique
Yuka is an incredibly powerful wizard who can easily continue to rival and possibly even surpass Gojo Satoruassuming she survives her tumor. Yuka is a descendant of Yuta Okkotsu, known to be his granddaughter. She has inherited Yuta Okkotsu's enormous cursed energy reserves. For those who don't remember, Yuta had the second largest Cursed Energy reserve in the entire series after Ryomen Sukuna, greater than even Gojo's..
There is something that Earthling Sorcerers use as a last resort when their lives are at stake. It is called a binding promise. Yuka has been looking for something worth betting her life on all this time. She thought that since she was going to die anyway, she might as well for someone else's sake. — Tsurugi on Yuka Okkotsu
Yuka is said to have inherited her cursed energy reservesmeaning that right now she must have one of the highest levels of cursed energy in the entire world. But that's not what makes Yuka as special as she is.
Yuka is the strongest new wizard with ten shadows
Yuka can summon Mahoraga
In the current era, it is Yuka Okkotsu who has inherited the power of the Ten Shadows technique. It was pretty clear even in the early chapters of JJK Modulo, but Gege fully confirmed it in chapter 15 of the series. In the battle of Yuka vs Dabura, she immediately summoned Mahoraga and hid in the shadows. Yuka being able to summon the Divine General means she has access to one of the most powerful Cursed Techniques that can potentially go on to rival the Gojo Clan Limitless itself.
It's time to welcome back Jujutsu Kaisen's most legendary cursed technique in Modulo
Jujutsu Kaisen's iconic cursed technique is finally coming back through one of Modulo's new main characters.
Having access to this cursed technology automatically makes Yuka one of the strongest wizards of the current era. She can even go on to make history if she tames Mahoragawhich no one else has done in the entire series yet.
Yuka will become stronger with Rika
Yuka was promised The Ring of Rika
To have The Ten Shadows technique and massive Cursed Energy Reserves make Yuka potentially the strongest of this erabut then you also have to take that into account she has access to Rika's ring. Right now, Yuka might not have Rika's ring, considering it was given to Tsurugi by the Gojo clan. This was likely due to Yuka being born with the ten shadows and massive cursed energy reserves, making Tsurugi completely unable to compete with her.
On the surface level, this is the correct assessment from the clan. But fans know that at the end of the day, Yuta entrusted this ring to Yuka. In other words, it means that Yuka will use Rika's power at some point in the future, even if Tsurugi uses it temporarily.
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 gone. But he deflected my attacks. He can see it. He can see my damn technique. Not bad! — Ryomen Sukuna Vs Mahoraga, JJK Chapter 118
Rika is there to protect Yuka, and considering she's currently suffering from a brain tumor that's close to taking her life, it goes without saying that Rika has a huge role to play in JJK Modulo. With the power of Rika, the Queen of Curses, Yuka is an unstoppable monster that can continue to surpass Gojo Satoru. Fans must remember that Yuta herself was a Gojo-level potential, and Yuka, who has 10 Shadows with Mahoraga with Rika on top, can easily surpass Gojo in power if she survives.
Yuka could have a Gojo-like moment against Dabura
Yuka vs Dabura is the defining moment for her character. Right now, she has basically signed her own death by participating in this battle. Either Dabura kills her, or Mahoraga does. But if Yuka manages to survive this fight, then she may well go on to tame Mahoraga later. With Rika's power, she can even come up with a way to cure her brain tumor.
Yuka's death is heavily built up here, but fans know for sure that her goal is to become a wizard like Yuta Okkotsu and possibly even surpass him. She can't die right now because that would defeat the entire premise of the series. Yuka Okkotsu needs to have a satisfying character arc, which means she needs to survive this ordeal and do so by becoming even stronger.
If Yuka succeeds in taming Mahoraga and gains control of Rika's power, then she may well have a Gojo-like epiphany in the fight against Dabura and go on to become the strongest of the current era.
