Jujutsu Kaisen's main story officially ended on September 29, 2024. Now, two years later,
Gege Akutami has finally revealed the true outcome of
Yuji Itadori in the sequel manga,
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is already in its final stretch, and although it can be said that Yuji kept
Satoru Gojo's legacy alive, he has been shrouded in mystery until now.
The only thing Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo readers knew about Yuji Itadori was that he couldn't physically age, making him basically immortal. As a result, he decided to be alone but also stay informed of the state of Jujutsu society, letting the younger generations resolve their conflicts without depending on him. However, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo finally unveiled what Yuji's true future is.
Jujutsu Kaisen' Sequel Just Revealed Yuji's Ultimate Fate
In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo chapter 22, Yuji states he will live for about 300 more years, revealing that he isn't immortal but simply has a really long lifespan. While the condition of his body or how he knows how long he will live hasn't been blatantly explained, it's being hinted that Yuji resembles
cursed spirits.
Furthermore, Yuji's remaining years suggest that he is a unique existence similar to
Tengen, who needs to merge every 500 years to maintain her humanity. However, Yuji is not capable of aging physically like Tengen does. This makes Yuji the perfect guardian to oversee the consequences of
Maru's harmonization plan following the eradication of the
cursed energy.
Yuji's Dream in Jujutsu Kaisen's Main Story is Still Alive
Although his self-sacrificing nature has not changed, as he is willing to endure the punishment of ridding the world of the cursed energy, the best thing about Yuji potentially dying at some point is that it means that he can still fulfill his grandfather's last will.
