The series takes place in Tokyo, 68 years after the Culling Game events of Jujutsu Kaisen. The world has changed significantly; while the "Golden Age" of sorcery has passed, technology and Jujutsu have begun to merge. The central conflict shifts from traditional Cursed Spirits to the Simurians, an alien race that arrives on Earth possessing their own form of Cursed Energy.
Plot
The story takes place in 2086, 68 years after the Culling Games event featured in Jujutsu Kaisen. An alien race known as the Simurians, with the ability to use Jujutsu Sorcery, has arrived on Earth in a spaceship, seeking a place to establish a home for their people. A Simurian representative named Marulu Val Vol Yelvori, or Maru for short, was sent to serve as a diplomat in the planet's Cursed Energy capital: Japan. For the purpose of his mission, the Japanese authorities allow Maru to partner with Jujutsu Sorcerers Tsurugi and Yuka Okkotsu—Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zen'in's grandchildren—in order to test the ability of the Simurians to coexist with humanity.
Production
Gege Akutami and manga artist Yūji Iwasaki started Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo series in Weekly Shōnen Jump on September 8, 2025. Akutami stated that the manga would run for approximately half a year and be about three volumes long, "as long as [it] is not canceled".[2][3] Akutami was previously hesitant to approve Jujutsu Kaisen spin-offs due to concerns about creative misalignment. However, Akutami saw the offerings as a catalyst for expanding and exploring the world of the series with leniency and without compromising its pre-established themes. To achieve this, Akutami thought through several ideas, including expanding certain eras in the main story and refining background elements. Akutami realized that setting it in a parallel line could open the door to many different projects. This idea became the foundation for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, which evolved from an initial abstract idea through extensive planning during the serialization meeting.[4][5]

| In a future Tokyo, siblings Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu—the grandchildren of Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zen'in—are sent to investigate a wave of kidnappings. These disappearances happen right as the Simurians, a race of aliens claiming to be refugees, arrive on Earth in the spaceship Naunax. The aliens claim to come in peace, and one of the Simurians, named Maru, is sent to accompany the Okkotsu siblings to learn more about humanity and Earth. Yuka, Tsurugi, and Maru find out that rogue Curse Users are actually abducting children to sell on the black market as living "batteries" for Cursed Energy. During their investigation, the siblings battle a Curse User and discover that Maru is an alien. After realizing that aliens have come to Earth, they make it their mission to discover a way for Humans and Simurians to coexist, while Maru's twin brother Cross plots to promote conflict between the two groups. | ||||
