Yuji Itadori returns in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo as new special grade threat emerges

Yuji Itadori re-enters the story in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 19 as Dabura’s power continues to grow

Yuji Itadori has been formally reintroduced to Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, signalling a notable shift in emphasis for the sequel series as it continues to expand its world and cast.

Since its debut, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has positioned itself as a continuation that explores new conflicts while gradually reconnecting with elements from the original Jujutsu Kaisen.

Yuji Itadori’s presence has been repeatedly teased throughout the early chapters, appearing briefly in flashbacks and transitional moments without directly entering the main narrative. The latest chapter confirms his return to prominence, ending months of speculation among readers.

The sequel, created by Gege Akutami, has so far focused on establishing new threats and expanding the setting beyond familiar territory. Itadori’s re-emergence comes at a point where the story has laid significant groundwork, allowing the character to re-enter without immediately overshadowing the newer cast.

His appearance reinforces the ongoing connection between Modulo and the original series, while maintaining the sequel’s distinct tone.

Although details surrounding his involvement remain limited, Itadori’s return has been widely interpreted by fans as a deliberate narrative step rather than a sudden development.

His characterisation remains consistent with his earlier portrayal, reflecting continuity rather than reinvention. This approach aligns with how Modulo has handled other returning elements, using restraint rather than frequent callbacks.

The chapter also continues to build anticipation around the evolving power dynamics within the series. While Modulo has been marketed as a more compact sequel, its pacing has allowed for gradual escalation, with Itadori’s return serving as a structural milestone rather than a conclusion.
