The manga Jujutsu Kaisen concluded in December 2024, but its legacy did not end there. With the release of the sequel Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, set in the year 2086, fans discovered that Yuta Okkotsu had always been the hidden central figure of the saga. While Yuji Itadori delivered the final blow to Sukuna, the survival of the sorcerer world depended heavily on Yuta's critical interventions.
Yuta Okkotsu’s Rise After the Sacrifice Game
Following the Sacrifice Game arc, Yuta emerged as the last living special-grade sorcerer. The deaths of Satoru Gojo, Yuki Tsukumo, Kenjaku, and Sukuna cleared the way for him to take center stage. His strength and resilience established him as the strongest sorcerer of the modern era.
The Decisive Battle Against Kenjaku
Yuta’s defining moment arrived during the clash with Kenjaku, one of the most ancient antagonists. While Fumihiko Takaba distracted the villain with his Comedian technique, Yuta seized the opening and decapitated Kenjaku with indirect help from Aoi Todo’s Boogie Woogie. This victory rewarded him with a new and dangerous ability: the power to replicate the Brain Transplant technique.
The First Confrontation With Sukuna
The battle against Sukuna highlighted Yuta’s creativity and determination. He unveiled his Domain Expansion, Authentic Mutual Love, only to see it countered by Sukuna’s Hollow Wicker Basket. Nevertheless, Yuta sustained the pressure with support from Rika and Yuji. By replicating techniques such as Sanctuary, he even startled Sukuna and created a crucial moment of hesitation that shifted the tide of battle.
The Turning Point With Gojo’s Return
In a dramatic twist, Yuta used Kenjaku’s ability to transfer his consciousness into the restored body of Satoru Gojo. This maneuver shocked Sukuna and reintroduced Unlimited Void into the fight. Together, Yuta and Gojo unleashed a Hollow Purple that destabilized their enemy. Although Sukuna managed to recover, Maki Zenin’s intervention with the Split Soul Katana left him severely weakened, paving the way for the final showdown.
The End of Sukuna and Yuta’s Legacy
Yuji delivered the decisive strike against Sukuna, but the outcome was only possible through teamwork. Yuta’s contributions remained critical at every stage. By the conclusion, he stood as the last special-grade sorcerer alive, inheriting Gojo’s mantle and becoming the new pillar of the Jujutsu world.
A Glimpse Into the Future With Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
The epilogue, set in the 2080s, revealed Yuta’s grandchildren and hinted at Maki as his lifelong partner. It also confirmed that Yuta became the head of the Gojo Clan before 2035. The sequel Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, set six years after, follows his descendants Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu, who inherit the burdens and responsibilities of his legacy.
The Core Takeaways From Yuta’s Journey
Throughout the series, Yuta Okkotsu proved that he was never a side character. From his debut in Jujutsu Kaisen 0 to his pivotal actions in the final battle, his presence shaped the destiny of the sorcerer world. His legacy extends beyond his own lifetime, ensuring that the Okkotsu name remains central to the franchise’s future.
The Road Ahead: What Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Means
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo signals that the franchise is far from over. By shifting focus to Yuta’s lineage, the sequel preserves the core spirit of the original while introducing a new generation of heroes. This direction not only honors Yuta’s legacy but also opens fresh possibilities for storytelling in the years to come.
The Enduring Legacy of Yuta Okkotsu
