Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo Release Date, Characters, Timeline & More

The wait is finally over, JJK fans, be ready! Even though the original Jujutsu Kaisen manga ended in August 2024, the hype never really died down. Ever since then, fans have been praying for creator Gege Akutami to return with something new. And At last, he’s back, and not just with any random story, but with a brand-new spin-off titled Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo (also called Mojuro in Japanese).

Yes fans, you read that right, JJK is officially continuing, and this time the universe is bigger, wilder, and packed with twists nobody saw coming. So, let’s dive straight into everything you need to know about JJK 3 Modulo release date, timeline, new characters, and what makes it such a shocking new chapter in the saga.

Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo Release Date & How It Connects to JJK

Circle this date on your calendars: September 8, 2025 (JST). That’s when JJK 3 Modulo dropped in Weekly Shonen Jump issue #41. Thanks to time zones, fans outside Japan were able to read Chapter 1 as early as September 7, 2025 (8:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET). And just like the original JJK, you can expect weekly chapter releases going forward.

But here’s the question that had fans buzzing: Is this really JJK, or just something new with a fancy title? The answer is a resounding YES, it’s connected. Gege Akutami confirmed that Modulo is set in the same JJK universe. While it’s not a direct sequel to Yuji’s story, think of it like Boruto is to Naruto. The legacy lives on, but with a fresh generation at the center.

The Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Timeline Explained

Now, let’s talk about where this story fits in the JJK timeline. The original Jujutsu Kaisen events, Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Gojo, and the war against Sukuna, took place in 2018. Fast forward nearly 70 years, and Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo is set in the year 2086.

That’s right, this isn’t just a continuation, it’s a whole new era. By jumping almost a century into the future, Gege opens the door for fresh stories while still letting the legacy of past characters influence the world.

And here’s the real shocker: aliens now exist in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. That’s not a typo. In this new age, extraterrestrials with cursed energy are a part of the story, which means the battles we’ll see are unlike anything JJK fans have ever imagined.

Meet the New Heroes of JJK Mojuro

What’s a new Jujutsu Kaisen era without a new trio of heroes? In Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo, Gege introduces three characters who instantly grab attention:

• Okkotsu Tsurugi – The grandson of Yuta Okkotsu and older brother of Yuuka. Like Toji and Maki, he has zero cursed energy, making him a raw physical powerhouse.
• Okkotsu Yuuka – The ambitious granddaughter of Yuta, determined to inherit his legendary ring and carve her own legacy as a sorcerer.
• Maru – The game-changer. He’s an alien with cursed energy who fights alongside the Okkotsu siblings. Yes, aliens are officially canon in JJK.

This trio brings together legacy, ambition, and pure unpredictability. It’s the perfect formula for the kind of intense rivalries, friendships, and battles JJK fans crave.

Mojuro’s Meaning & What Fans Can Expect Next

The name Mojuro is still a mystery, but that hasn’t stopped fans from theorizing. Some believe it means “Boy Who Consumed Curses,” while others think it’s just a stylized take on the English word Modulo. Whatever the truth, one thing’s clear, Gege is setting up a story filled with symbolism and hidden meaning, just like the original JJK.

So, what’s next? Expect high-stakes battles with new cursed techniques, shocking reveals about the Okkotsu bloodline, and of course, the mysterious role aliens will play in the sorcerer world. If Chapter 1 is any indication, Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo is here to blow the fandom’s mind week after week.
