3 Details You Likely Missed in Jujutsu Kaisen’s Sequel Debut

by

In exciting news that many fans have been eagerly anticipating, Jujutsu Kaisen is back! Contrary to what some might have thought, a spinoff delving into untold events in the main story, it’s actually a sequel named Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo that has made its debut. This sequel serves as a direct continuation of Gege Akutami’s original manga and is set approximately seven decades following the conclusion of the initial narrative. The first chapter kicks off this new saga with an intriguing twist: the introduction of extraterrestrial elements.

As an observer, I’d like to share some intriguing details from the inaugural chapter of “Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo” that may have slipped past your notice. While revisiting the aftermath of Ryomen Sukuna’s defeat, this new installment gently alludes to events of the past, much like its predecessor series. To ensure you don’t miss a beat, here are three noteworthy aspects from the first chapter that are worth pondering upon.

3) One Piece and Hunter X Hunter Reference

In the premiere of the sequel for “Jujutsu Kaisen,” a subtle homage to both “One Piece” and “Hunter x Hunter” mangas might be easily overlooked. Following the introduction of the primary antagonist and his scheme to kidnap another child, a manga book is noticeably in the background depicting a scene from the initial chapter of “One Piece,” where Shanks passes his iconic straw hat to Luffy. Yet, in this instance, the character resembling Luffy bears an uncanny likeness to Gon, due to his distinctive spiky hair.

There’s no denying that this character with the spiky hair could be mistaken for someone else, but the fact that Gege Akutami is a fan of “One Piece” and “Hunter x Hunter” suggests otherwise. This intentional reference becomes even more apparent when Tsurugi Okkotsuki is depicted training with weights attached to his wooden sword, much like Zoro does in “One Piece.” This little quirk underscores Gege’s affection for these well-known series.

2) Sorcerers Are Weaker

In the thrilling sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen, I found myself instantly intrigued by the mysterious new villain who made his grand entrance in the very first chapter! What really caught my attention wasn’t just what he said outright, but rather the tantalizing hints about the series’ future that lay hidden between the lines.

One of these intriguing revelations was the subtle suggestion that the influence and power of sorcerers have been gradually dwindling since the time of Gojo Satoru and Yuji Itadori. This bombshell declaration left me pondering: has no other sorcerer with comparable strength emerged in all this time? The implications are certainly intriguing, and I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here!

It appears that Sukuna’s defeat, Kenjaku’s fall, and Gojo’s death have significantly disrupted the equilibrium of cursed energy, causing a decrease in the birth of sorcerers with exceptional talent. This implies that the new main characters might gain power-ups, but they’re unlikely to match Gojo’s or peak sorcery level. Instead, the series could showcase exceptionally powerful characters emerging from the Simurian race, with Maru being the one who seems to have the most potential among them.

1) Jujutsu Kaisen Sequel Is Incorporating Sci-Fi Elements

The key aspect that distinguishes the sequel from its predecessor is the incorporation of science fiction themes. Though the presence of extraterrestrial beings, the Simurians, hints at a sci-fi bent, the narrative also unfolds in a futuristic setting where technology has progressed substantially.

In the opening scene, we find our leading character, Yuka, employing an advanced recording gadget. While its importance may appear subtle at first, it subtly suggests that sorcerers might also wield tools with a dark curse, engineered using modern science. If accurate, this could be a major revelation in the upcoming installment of Jujutsu Kaisen, setting up a series that promises to diverge significantly from its predecessor. The eventual outcome – whether it’s an improvement or a setback – remains to be unfolded.
