The Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo manga, sequel to Gege Akutami's original work, continues to expand the universe of cursed sorcery. In its most recent installment, chapter 5 titled "Senility", the series presented its first major confrontation and revealed a new system of power within the world of jujutsu.
The New Power System in Jujutsu Kaisen: Module
The episode focuses on the fight between Tsurugi and Masaki Takeda, the first formal duel between a sorcerer and a curse-user in the sequel. As the story unfolds, Masaki's abilities are compared to those of a Grade 1 sorcerer, offering a more accurate view of the average level of new cursed energy users.
The absence of Special Grade characters allows the focus to fall on the technical evolution of sorcery. In Tsurugi's case, his ability to generate a Simple Mastery using the energy of his sword demonstrates how techniques have advanced since the times of characters such as Toji or Maki Zenin.
The visual and narrative evolution
Yuji Iwasaki's art stands out for its precision and dynamism, bringing a darker atmosphere without sacrificing the fluidity of the combat sequences. The scene between Tsurugi and Masaki has been pointed out by readers as one of the most complex and well-choreographed since the final battle against Ryomen Sukuna in the original series.
Maru and the future of history
The conclusion of the chapter anticipates the awakening of Maru, a central character in the plot that connects directly with the thematic axis of the possible alien invasion. Its reappearance would set the course for the next narrative arc, at a point where the series must consolidate its identity and differentiate itself from its predecessor.
According to reports, Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo could have a limited duration of six months in Weekly Shonen Jump, so its current development will be key to defining the future of the sequel. The manga continues to explore the fundamentals of the cursed energy system, while introducing elements of science fiction and new conflicts within the universe created by Akutami.
