The wait for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 22 is almost over, but the leaked spoilers have already sent shockwaves through the community. The new chapter, titled “The Passage of Souls,” hit the internet earlier than expected this week, and it delivers a moment fans have been waiting decades for in the story’s timeline. The face-off between Yuji Itadori and Mahito is everything the spoilers promised, and then some.
According to detailed summaries from sources who have seen the raw scans, Chapter 22 picks up immediately after the cliffhanger from the previous installment. Yuji and Maru have agreed to move forward with their ambitious plan to reshape the world. But before they can do anything, they need to deal with the cursed spirit trapped alongside them in this strange, otherworldly space. That spirit is Mahito, and he is not happy to see his old enemy.
Mahito’s Last Stand Fails Against a God-Tier Yuji
The leaked chapter reveals that Mahito immediately refuses to cooperate. When Yuji kneels down and asks if the curse is willing to help them, Mahito explodes in rage. He shouts, “Don’t underestimate me!” and unleashes his Domain Expansion, transforming the space around them to resemble the ruins of Shibuya. He fully intends to kill Yuji and end what he calls Yuji’s “farce” of staying young .
But what happens next has left readers stunned. Yuji Itadori does not even take his hands out of his pockets. Without breaking a sweat, he uses a devastatingly powerful Dismantle attack that slices Mahito’s Domain and the curse itself into thousands of pieces. Mahito is left in disbelief, unable to comprehend the monstrous power level Yuji has reached after all these decades. Yuji simply looks down at him and asks, “Hey, were you always this weak?” .
This moment confirms what many fans suspected but few dared to state outright. The Yuji Itadori of the Modulo era exists on a completely different plane of power compared to his younger self. He handled one of the original series’ most terrifying villains with less effort than most people swat a fly.
Maru Transforms Mahito Into a Key Tool
After Yuji reduces Mahito to a helpless state, Maru steps in with his unique abilities. Using his powers, Maru transforms the defeated curse into a ragdoll-like figure. He places this doll on a cart alongside several other crucial items: pieces of his mothership, Yuta Okkotsu’s ring, and Yuki Tsukumo’s book . These are the essential ingredients needed to proceed with their plan to fundamentally change the world.
The chapter then dives deep into the philosophical dilemma at the heart of Maru’s mission. Yuji explains that to stop cursed spirits from ever being born again, humanity has two options. The first is to remove cursed energy from every person in Japan. The second is to transform every person in Japan into a jujutsu sorcerer who can control their energy .
Yuji argues against the second option. He believes that if everyone becomes a sorcerer, the damage caused by curses would simply be replaced by damage caused by sorcerers. Dangerous individuals like Toji Fushiguro could become more common. Maru agrees, leaning toward the first option as the better path to create peace between humans and Simurians .
Yuji admits the plan is not morally perfect. By taking away cursed energy, they would also be taking away humanity’s potential for greater power. With aliens now part of their world, technology will advance rapidly. But if the planet runs out of resources centuries later, cursed energy might have been the only backup plan. Despite these doubts, Yuji reaffirms his commitment. He believes this is the right thing to do, and since he expects to live another 300 years, he is ready to accept whatever punishment comes his way .
Dabura vs. Mahoraga Reaches a Boiling Point
While Yuji and Maru handle the Mahito situation, the chapter also checks in on the massive battle happening elsewhere. Dabura is still locked in combat with Mahoraga, and the situation is growing more desperate. Earlier chapters revealed that Mahoraga might be adapting to Dabura’s very existence, not just his attacks .
However, Dabura has a trump card. He has already activated his Domain Expansion. Inside this domain, he has the advantage, and Chapter 22 is expected to show him finally unleashing his ultimate attack to finish Mahoraga for good. This attack is described as the Simurian equivalent of Gojo Satoru’s Hollow Purple . If Dabura succeeds, it will free Yuta Okkotsu, who remains trapped in a state of suspended death within Mahoraga’s shadow.

The Endgame Approaches for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
With Chapter 22 setting the plan to eliminate cursed energy into motion, the series is clearly heading toward its finale. Gege Akutami always intended Modulo to be a shorter story, running for about six months and spanning three collected volumes . The fact that it has now surpassed One Piece and Boruto as the most-read manga on Manga Plus shows just how hungry the audience is for this continuation .
Volume 2 of the tankobon collection releases on March 4, 2026, and will likely include Chapter 22 and subsequent installments . With approximately six to eight chapters remaining after this week’s release, the story is on track to conclude by late March or early April 2026.
Reports suggest this will be the definitive end for the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. No further sequels are currently planned. The finale aims to provide complete closure by resolving the conflict between cursed energy, humanity, and the alien Simurians once and for all .
