The final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is here, and it finally answers the biggest question fans had after the original series ended. Chapter 25, titled “A Bright Future,” released in Japan on March 8, 2026, and brings the sequel to a close . Readers finally get to see what happened to Yuji Itadori after all these years, and whether he followed the path of the King of Curses.
The short sequel series ran for 25 chapters, exactly as creator Gege Akutami planned when it launched in September 2025 . Set 68 years after the original ending, Modulo introduced new characters while bringing back some familiar faces. Now with the finale out, the fate of Jujutsu Kaisen’s original hero is clear.
Yuji Itadori Returns After Decades
Yuji finally shows up in a big way during the final chapter. After disappearing for most of the sequel, he reappears to meet with Nobara Kugisaki. Their reunion is not warm and friendly. Nobara immediately scolds him for vanishing for so long, making it clear she felt abandoned by her old teammate .
Yuji apologizes quickly and admits something he never said before. He confesses he was afraid of losing the people close to him, especially after everything that happened with Sukuna’s fingers. Consuming them changed him, making him something between human and curse. That fear kept him away .
A Plan Different From Sukuna’s Path
The big question was always whether Yuji would turn out like Sukuna. The answer is a firm no. Instead of becoming a destroyer, Yuji spent decades figuring out how to protect people in a completely different way.
During his talk with Nobara and Panda, Yuji explains his long-term vision. He wants to create a world where sorcerers might not even be needed anymore. His plan involves getting rid of cursed spirits immediately when they appear, instead of waiting for them to grow powerful. To make this work, he wants to strengthen the barrier technique connected to Tengen and improve how curses are tracked. He also suggests keeping an eye on family lines that produce people with Heavenly Restriction .
This is the opposite of what Sukuna wanted. Sukuna lived for strength and destruction. Yuji wants peace and an end to the fighting.
Yuji’s Final Shocking Decision
The biggest reveal comes at the end of Chapter 25. Yuji shares what he plans to do after his death. He intends to turn himself into a cursed object, similar to Sukuna’s fingers. But for a completely different reason .
Yuji wants his presence to keep protecting humanity for centuries after he is gone. Instead of forcing others to carry the burden, he will carry it himself. The goal is to keep protecting people even after his life ends.
This confirms Yuji is not becoming the next Sukuna. He is becoming the opposite. Sukuna’s cursed objects spread fear and death. Yuji’s will provide protection.
What the Sequel Fixed About the Original Ending
Many fans felt the original Jujutsu Kaisen ending was rushed. Creator health issues may have forced Akutami to wrap things up quickly . The biggest complaint was that nothing really changed in the sorcerer world. Tokyo became a place where curses gathered, but there was no real solution.
Modulo fixed this. The sequel showed actual progress. Maru, one of the new characters, used a combination of powers including Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration to harmonize humans, sorcerers, and the alien Simurians . This stopped negative energy from creating new cursed spirits.
Yuji carrying Yuki Tsukumo’s soul research forward also gave meaning to plot threads the original series left hanging . The sequel closed stories for characters like Yuki, Geto, and Choso who dreamed of a better world.
The Final Scene Shows True Peace
The last pages of Chapter 25 show a peaceful world. Humans and Simurians play baseball together. The cooperation works. Cursed spirits in Tokyo have disappeared, though this news is kept quiet to avoid panic .
Some fans might feel disappointed the ending was not an action-packed battle. But that was never the point. The original series ended with a huge fight against Sukuna. The sequel ends with something better. It ends with hope.
The only complaint some readers have is that Megumi Fushiguro never appears. After Sukuna left his body, Megumi returned to being a sorcerer. But the sequel does not show what happened to him . Fans will have to accept some mysteries stay unsolved.

So will Yuji become the next Sukuna? The answer is clear. No. He spent over sixty years becoming the strongest sorcerer alive, but used that strength to build something new. His final choice to become a protective cursed object proves he learned the lessons of the past.
Yuji carries the weight so future generations do not have to. That is not the path of a curse. That is the path of a hero.
