Jujutsu Kaisen reveals the next Gojo Satoru in Japan

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has received an amazing reception from all fans worldwide, even though the series raised doubts when it was first announced. Sequel series are rarely as good as the original, and it's very rare for a mangaka to actually surpass their original work with a sequel. As said, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is an exception. Although the series has completely new characters and even has a different atmosphere, it actually has the potential to surpass the original Jujutsu Kaisen series.

68 years later in the world of JJKwizards are active as ever, but the era has changed. Gojo Satoru is not here to save Japan anymore, but that doesn't mean the country doesn't have its own band of new, powerful wizards. So far, Gege Akutami has not revealed anything Wizards in special class or cursing users to fans. However, he has clearly introduced two new characters with the potential to reach those levels. One of them, Yuka Okkotsu, will be the next Gojo Satoru in Japansimply because of the stronger connection to Yuta, who in turn was a distant relative of Gojo Satoru through Michizane Sugawara.

Yuka Okkotsu could be Japan's next Gojo Satoru

Yuka carries Yuta's powers and high cursed energy

• Yuta Okkotsu was Gojo's official replacement for the Gojo clan

• Yuta and Gojo were related by blood

When it comes to pure sorcery, the only one the next generation character who has a chance to become the next Gojo Satoru is Yuka Okkotsu. This may seem unfair to people like Tsurugi Okkotsu at first, but fans have to look at how Gege Akutami set up Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu in the series. Both Yuka and Tsurugi are the grandchildren of Maki and Yutabut they both have different idols. It just happens to be so Yuka's idol relates to Gojo Satoru more than Tsurugi.

For those who may have forgotten, Yuta Okkotsu was Gojo Satoru's official protégé in Jujutsu Kaisen. He was known to have an absolute huge supply of cursed energyeven more than Gojo Satoru himself. According to Gojo, Yuta and he were connected through Michizane Sugawaratheir distant ancestor, and one of Japan's three vengeful spirits. Since Yuta was related to Gojo by blood, he was also able to lead the Gojo clan in his master's place for quite some time.

Now that Yuta Okkotsu is dead, his successor has already been established by Gege Akutami, and that is Yuka Okkotsu. Just like Yuta, Yuka has a huge amount of cursed energyand she will eventually gain access to The power of riches also. Her skill with cursed energy is what will make her next Gojo Satoru.

Yuka can become the strongest wizard in Japan

Tsurugi is more like Maki

As for the second strongest wizards in Japan, Yuka Okkotsu is likely to reach the top in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. Of course, Tsurugi is up there too and he also has the potential to reach the top, but Tsurugi wants to be like Maki, and Maki was weaker than Yuta Okkotsu. If Gege follows the original idea, then Yuka should surpass Tsurugi after she gains access to Rika and sparks her domain expansion.

It's still more likely that Tsurugi will be Yuka's equal, since these siblings are written to always grow together. In that case, Tsurugi Okkotsu will likely far surpass Maki Zeninbut due to his lack of cursed energy and wizardry, it is still Yuka who will be considered the strongest wizard.
