The final stage of a major plan to reshape the world of Jujutsu Kaisen is almost here. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 22 is scheduled for release on Saturday, February 15, 2026. The chapter will be available to read for free on the official Shonen Jump and MangaPlus platforms. This chapter is expected to be a pivotal moment, continuing the direct setup from the previous chapter where protagonists Yuji Itadori and Maru revealed their ambitious goal to eliminate Cursed Spirits forever.
Fans are eager to see this storyline progress, especially with the surprise return of the major villain Mahito. The story suggests this chapter could be one of the final ones for the Modulo series, which was originally planned as a short sequel.

Recap of Chapter 21: The Plan to End All Curses
Chapter 21 ended with a major revelation that sets the stage for the upcoming story. After the battle with Tsurugi, the Simurian character Maru decided the only way for humans and Simurians to coexist peacefully is to eliminate the source of conflict: Cursed Spirits themselves.
Maru’s cursed technique, called “Chaos and Harmony,” has selected Yuji Itadori to help with this mission. To make this world-changing plan work, they need three key components:
- The immense cursed energy stored for decades in Yuta Okkotsu’s ring.
- Maru’s own “Chaos and Harmony” technique.
- The dangerous power of Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration.
“I want to create a world where Cursed Spirits aren’t born anymore,” Maru stated, outlining his ultimate goal.
This plan connects directly to unresolved ideas from the original Jujutsu Kaisen series. Characters like Yuki Tsukumo and Geto Suguru had similar dreams of ending the curse cycle but were never able to achieve them. Chapter 22 is expected to show the first steps of putting this massive plan into action.
What to Expect in Chapter 22: Major Story Developments
Based on the conclusion of Chapter 21, several major plot points are likely to be addressed.
Yuji, Maru, and Mahito’s Alliance
The core of the chapter will focus on the uneasy alliance between Yuji, Maru, and the captured Mahito. The plan likely involves using Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration on a massive scale. The theory is to alter the souls of all people in Japan who possess cursed energy, turning them into sorcerers who can control their power. If no cursed energy leaks out, then no new Cursed Spirits can be born.
“Just like you, he was chosen by my technique as well. So then, shall we get started?” Maru said to Yuji, signaling the beginning of their operation.
The Conclusion of Dabura vs. Mahoraga
Another major battle is nearing its end. Dabura, the powerful Simurian, is fighting the adaptive shikigami Mahoraga. In the last chapter, Dabura unleashed his Domain Expansion. Chapter 22 should show the conclusion of this fight, with Dabura aiming to defeat Mahoraga before it can fully adapt to his power. The outcome of this battle is also crucial for the fate of Yuka Okkotsu, who is currently trapped within Mahoraga’s shadow.

The Approaching End of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
Recent story developments strongly suggest that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is heading toward its conclusion. Creator Gege Akutami originally described the series as a short sequel designed to run for about six months, fitting into roughly three collected volumes. With Chapter 22, the story is moving into its final act.
If Yuji and Maru’s plan succeeds and they create a world without Cursed Spirits, it would fundamentally change the setting. This kind of ending could provide a definitive close to this storyline, fulfilling goals that were set up but left unresolved in the original manga’s ending.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 22 will be available globally on Sunday, February 15, 2026.
