This article contains spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen series.
Gojo Satoru was the face of JJK for quite a long time. He was not only the most beloved character in the series, but also represented Japan as their strongest wizard, which meant that he was almost a deterrent against any other force. Even against the King of Curses, Gojo was Japan's best bet, and when their battle finally occurred, Gojo eventually lost his life. But he also paved the way for a new generation to take the lead.

Sukuna is arguably the most powerful character in Jujutsu Kaisen, and here are some of his most powerful abilities.
Since the end of JJKfans have wondered who the strongest wizard really was. There have been hints of Yuji is the strongest after Gojobut now, with Yuji missing, it seems Gege Akutami has set up Japan's next Gojo-level magician already. This wizard is none other than Yuka Okkotsu, granddaughter of Yuta.
Gojo Satoru was the strongest wizard in JJK
In the original JJK series, Satoru was quite easily the strongest wizard. He was born into the Gojo clan, but under very special circumstances. Gojo had access to the special Limitless Cursed Technique and was even born with Six Eyes to add to it. This combination came back into existence for the first time in 400 years, and Gojo's mere birth shook the world itself.
Over the years, Gojo trained relentlessly and brought out his maximum power, which he then used against the King of Curses, Sukuna. It goes without saying that Gojo was Sukuna's equal, though because of that Sukuna had ten shadows at his disposalGojo couldn't win against him. He ended up losing his life in the battle against Ryomen Sukuna, but he truly paved the way for the next generation's victory.
Yuka Okkotsu is currently Japan's strongest wizard
69 years after the end of Shinjuku Showdown, Japan now has a next Gojo-level wizard, and it's none other than Yuka Okkotsuthe younger sister of Tsurugi and the granddaughter of Yuta and Maki. This was confirmed by the author himself when the conflict between the Simurans and humans worsened in Japan.
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
When the Simurians asked for a duel between the strongest wizards on the two sides, Japan chose Yuka Okkotsu as their top pick. The main reason for this was the fact that Yuka has access to one of the most special cursed techniques out there, and that is the Ten Shadows technique.
Yuka has access to The Ten Shadows Technique
As is quite clear in the story, Yuka Okotsu was born with the power of the Ten Shadows Technique. This means that Megumi most likely died before her birth. Yuka being born with the Ten Shadows technique gives her the power of the Divine General Mahoraga, and on top of that, all the other interesting Shikigami as well.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Why Yuji Itadori Left Sorcerers, Explained
Yuji Itadori has disappeared, leaving the wizards behind. Here's why in JJK Modulo.
Above all, Mahoraga becomes her greatest ally in battleconsidering that it is an accident that can adapt itself to all phenomena that exist. Mahoraga played a significant role in the death of Gojo Satoru, and without him, Sukuna certainly would not have won the battle. Having such a weapon in Yuka's arsenal makes her extremely powerful. But what's even more surprising is that Yuka has more than just Mahoraga in her arsenal.
Yuka could be the next gojo with Rika and ten shadows
It has already been confirmed in JJK Modulo to Rika belongs to none other than Yuka Okkotsu. Although the ring is kept by her brother, she will gain access to it eventually, meaning Yuka will have access to both Rika, which would grant her the Copy Cursed Technique, as well as the Ten Shadows Technique.
With two incredibly powerful calamities at his disposal, Yuka will be a Gojo level wizard and she can actually even go above his level. It must not be forgotten that Yuka has also made a binding vow recently and this allows her to greatly increase her power in exchange for something.
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
Exactly what Yuka has given up is not known yet, but what fans do know is that she is much stronger than before. With all these power-ups, Yuka will most certainly become Japan's next Gojo.
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 15 will be released on December 14, 2025.
