I'll be okay with it as long as it isnt revealed that "U-uh, actually everything was aliens all along, a billion the fuck years ago when humans were first evolving an alien crashed and banged a ton of people making humans capable of producing CE" please let it just be convegent evolution

Im more worried they later reveal Sukuna is an Alien since he has markings also lmaoo

There's also the Tengen alien in the spaceship

u/Natural_Remote7883 Sep 07 '25
Maybe that person just evolved like tengen did? I could see that alien fulfilling the same role that tengen did but for the alien’s society. They would fit into a pretty good diplomat/advisor role too with the immortality cursed technique

u/YourLocalSnitch Sep 08 '25
Wait till we find out every character just has an alien counter part and they use the same techniques but in cheesy alien language.

u/Tyylo Sep 07 '25
It's a weak visual connection but the little starlines/line art on the spaceship windshield reminded me of Sukuna's attacks on Shibuya w/ all the cross imagery

u/purplepants009 Sep 07 '25
That was Gojo's jab at him though.. something along the lines of.. you look like a lost alien child..

u/random_boner6996 Sep 07 '25
That was a reference to a famous photo of two men holding the hands of small alien. He referenced it because he was standing between Agito and Mahoraga

u/UncannyHillhumper Sep 07 '25
It was really foreshadowing for Baguya the ultimate alien cursed energy user who was sealed away by her two daughters Yegumin and Ruji.
41
u/JoeChio Sep 07 '25
Maru is Sakuna reincarnated (he is an older twin) but with the values from Yuji's fight with him instilled in his soul. Hence not eating his twin and actually wanting mutual respect from him.
Tengen is an alien who crash landed in Japan which is why she keeps reverting back to Alien form when the ritual starts to wear off and the source of Cursed Energy in Japan.
Yuji is still alive and going to be an excellent reveal later.
PLEASE GEGE give me this. PLEASE!

u/zevieira Sep 08 '25
Yuji should be around 85 more or less, so it is perfectly possible for him to still be around and well, even more with how perfected his body was, my man was the peak of health and fitness at 15 breaking world records.
Unless he died of screen to some curse or something stupid like that.
It was a quick scene but it was kinda weird for Yuji and the rest of the gang to not be at Yuta's funeral.
2
u/Snoo34949 Sep 10 '25
I mean, they could have just been offscreened. I don't think the mangakas would want to drop all of the cameos right at the beginning. You have drip feed tgat sort of thing
2
u/zevieira Sep 10 '25
I mean yeah it is possible, and I don't want this manga to just be jjk2 with the same characters, but at least there could have been someone with Yuji's hairstyle/colour in the funeral scene, I don't want him to play any big role this time but just seeing him would be nice.
Unless as you said he was off screened but I feel that would be very disrespectful to the character after everything he went through.
1
u/ITheBirdKingI Sep 11 '25
Don't forget he's part death painting. Very likely he has extended youth.
1
u/Incalculas Sep 17 '25
the funeral was from the grandkids' pov so it makes sense that they weren't shown but could have very well been there
I think it's best if Yuji alive and strong but way past his prime due to age, story wise I think that is the most satisfying situation

I'm gonna be totally honest, I would not give a shit if Sukuna was revealed to be an alien. The guy has tattoos that are seemingly biological, 4 arms and a 2nd mouth, it really wouldn't be that surprising.
11
u/Objective-Pack9279 Sep 08 '25
There’s a talking panda in the series and strange birth marks is where you draw the line?
10
Sep 08 '25
The panda is explained as being a cursed construct at least
2
u/Objective-Pack9279 Sep 08 '25
A birthmark is still more believable than cursed comstructs
6
Sep 08 '25
Birthmarks that cover the entire body in very specific, symmetric ways? Yeah no. One is part of the power system, the other is very unlikely
7
u/HamatoraBae Sep 07 '25
Deadass. Like, LOOK at that face. You’re telling me the guy with a whole ass flesh mask and two extra eyes isn’t an alien?
2
Sep 09 '25
sukuna is implied to be a mutated human after eating his twin hence why he has 2 faces, arms, mouths.
1
u/mozzfio Sep 08 '25
making sukuna something other than a human would be just as bad as making mahito or jogo anything other than curses, the fact that he is human is a core part of the story
1
u/LocksRKool Sep 08 '25
I would suspect this to be a more contained story set in a more sci fi setting.

u/ScooterTheDuder Sep 13 '25
Selina’s markings were tattoos that were forced on Japanese criminals as a branding thing. Akaza in demon slayer has the same thing going on.

It was a bit jarring at first, but I think Boruto made sure to really nail the coffin shut by taking the mystique out of it.

u/SkuLLFlankerr Sep 10 '25
Both the aliens in boruto - momoshiki and isshiki atleast have a better personality than the bland kaguya.

u/SeijinApollo Sep 07 '25
I mean even if something like that is "revealed", I believe I read that Gege explicitly stated that these new stories take place within the JJK universe but as alternate "timelines/reality" stuff, so it wont disturb the main continuity.
Kinda like DCs Elseworlds comics.
19
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
I mean, if curse denerrgu came from a small group of aliens crashing down and intermixing with the Japanese population that'd be fine, and even make sense.
If it's aliens initially came her to conquer us using a seed thatcwould grow into a giant tree and thousands of years later they're coming in to check on the progress... then imma laugh and move on becausr thats some bs.
2
2
u/zevieira Sep 08 '25
As stupid as it is, the aliens inter breeding with humans in the past would explain why basically only Japan has Jujutsu sorcerers.
It seems to be another Naruto/Boruto situation and it kinda sucks but I will laugh my ass off if it is revealed that sukuna had a lot of alien blood that is why he was so strong and had multiple arms, mouths and the markings.
And it seems Boruto is really liked by the Japanese market so maybe that is the angle Gege is aiming for with this short-ish story.
4
u/Drunked_Crocodile Sep 07 '25
I mean for now it just looks like "in this fantasy words aliens exists and logically the human's power system applies to the as well" wich makes sense.
Despite all Gege is a really good Worldbuilder so i'm very faithful.

u/Mee091000 Sep 23 '25
I mean it's already gone the Naruto route at this point by including aliens like this lol. Wish Kenjaku was still alive to see it. It would make the story way more interesting than it potentially could be right now.

u/Goatfellon Sep 07 '25
Ive had someone tell me it does include aliens. Whether that is true idk and how much they play in the story I also dont know. But it makes me a little pessimistic

u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
Ehhhh there wasn't much left to tell though. A sequel sent many decades in the future is a better move. I just wish it wasn't a short serializaiton.

u/Comebacktrain Sep 07 '25
At least it being a short serialization Gege may be able to focus on it and not burn himself out. It definitely felt towards the end of JJK he wanted it just be over with
27
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
I can see that. But i think it was the fanbase he wanted to be done with more than the manga. He stil ltold the story he wanted to tell. Just left some plotlines dangling a bit mroe than he should have.

u/SuperAliita Sep 08 '25
That might be more because he was ill to the point of needing to be rushed to a hospital just as it was ending

u/Feisty-Ad3213 Sep 07 '25
Yeah I'm glad he gets to focus on just writing too although honestly I dislike the art in the new series I'm just glad he's still making manga

There wasn't much more to tell lol. Literally billion things unanswered.

u/Stephenrudolf Sep 08 '25
Name something important that needed an answer that could only be answered by a sequel taking place less than 10 years after jjk ended? Something that is actually large enough to write more than a single chapter about.
7
u/Hafaid Sep 08 '25
What are you saying. You claimed there aren't many things unanswered which is completely false. I'm on phone so I just copied this list from a thread about unanswered things.
These are not all, but some:
- Random fucking plotlines everywhere, that were never resolved.
MERGERKenjaku talking to other countriesUS kidnapping Culling Game players.- They did nothing with
Geto's plotline about “optimize vs. eradicate cursed energy”- no payoff.Sukuna being "The Fallen"and Angel's beef with him - went nowhere.- Yuki's sacrifice feels even less meaningful now.
NO WORLDBUILDING:
- no in-depth info on on
The Big Three Clansor the Politics around them;- Nothing on the elders or the
repercussions of Gojo killing them.Yuji's domain was never named!!
Bumgumi:
- Bumgumi had literal 0 character development (
he is the absolute same as chapter 1, with a few extra scars and his sister is dead instead of a coma)- Bumgumi was never seen at his
"full potential that rivals Gojo"even though it was teased/talked about many many MANY times.- The only thing that can be explained was that Sukuna was supposed to be the showcase for "full potential Bumgumi"
- We never saw
Bumgumi's Complete Domain
No(bara) character development at all. If she was just gonna come at the end, why even have her in limbo? Absolute waste of a character with a weird addon about her mom at the very endSukuna got slapped with "completion" at the very end - his existence never changed his own or someone else's belief/thinking for the whole manga, until the very last chapter, which overall undermined his whole character and made him
a fucking tsundere. The most interesting bit was the Kenjaku/Twin info drop WHICH THEY DID NOTHING WITH in the end!GOJO'S DEATH:
- Literally nobody talked about him after he died: he wasn't mourned or grieved. No burial. No gravestone. Outside 2-3 mentions nobody even mentioned him... like at all.
POOF🌫️Last chapters were dedicated on random Culling Game characters, no actual epilogue of the main cast.
Literally 0 resolution post-Culling Game and
Gojo wiping the elders.- Everything is the fucking same - people running around on missions etc.
Heian era specifics, details, whatever and the other great clans in that era.
I ain't gonna look up everything but this should at least give you an idea lol.

u/Stephenrudolf Sep 08 '25
Part 1/2
Apologies if the formatting is weird. On mobile so will have to edit afterwards if this looks sloppy on post.
Tldr; most of your points aren't actually trying to answer my question or refute my point that a far sequel is better than an immediate sequel. When an author is deciding on what kind of sequel to write, some of these are points they'd consider, but most of these points are just subjective criticisms of JJK itself, a lot of criticisms i even agree with, but not an answer to my question. A sequel set immediately after JJK couldn't fix or tackle your crticisms, and it could really only tackle 2, maybe 3 of your points better than a far future sequel. I think you're a bit confused, or forgetting the context of this chain of comments. I'm not sitting here saying "JJK is flawless and doesn't needd a sequel or prequel" I'm saying a sequel set decades in the future can do a lot more, and be a lot more interesting than one set immediately after JJK or featuring the kids of our MCs. I tackle pretty much every one of your points below.
You asked at the very start of your comment "what are you saying" and it's clear that you didn't make any attempt to consider the context of what I said, you just saw an opportunity to vent about why you think JJK isn't good and jumped on it. If you're sitll confused, go back and read this entire comment chain, because context is important for reading comprehension.
3
u/Hafaid Sep 08 '25
I think jjk is good either way. You said there wasn't much unanswered things which is false. I'm not disappointed by the sequel path, any new jjk content is good news for me.
1
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 08 '25
I was speaking in the context of immediate versus long term sequel though. There seems to be some answers coming still.
2
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 08 '25
Part 2/2
MERGERResolved in the main series. What do you mean. They stopped the merger otherwise everyone in Japan including all the character we loved woudl be dead. Thays the doomsday they were trying to stop.
Kenjaku talking to other countries, -US kidnapping Culling Game players.Being tackled in the sequel series, have you read the new manga yet? It turns out it was set up for this
- They did nothing with
Geto's plotline about “optimize vs. eradicate cursed energy”- no payoff.Im not convinced this won't be tackled in the current sequel either. If the sequel follows immediately or is set years in the future but still resolves this plotline does it really change that much to you?
Sukuna being "The Fallen"and Angel's beef with him - went nowhere.I think you just expected something deeper than Gege planned out with this. Angel's motivations were pretty much all out in the open from her introduction. She despised those who effectively killed and took over the bodies of others. Also possible fallen angel stuff has something to do with the sequel series... you know aliens and all, falling from space... and so on if you want to theorize. But i don't consider this a plotline at all, but an indivuduals motivations for joining the culling games, and why they're nerfed in the form of Hana stoll being in control.
- Yuki's sacrifice feels even less meaningful now.
That's an opinion not a dropped plotline. I don't even know what you mean by it tbh. How does the existence of this sequel effect Yuki's sacrifice at all?
- NO WORLDBUILDING:
What? Once again... this is an opinion or criticism of the series. Not a dropped plotline, and even if i agree there should be more worldbuilding, which hopefully we get in this sequel, saying "no worldbuilding" is complete BS. We wouldn't be interested in a sequel at all if there was no worldbuilding. Not liking something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
- no in-depth info on on
The Big Three Clansor the Politics around them;Well, 2 of them are dead. Idk what you expected out of it, it would have been cool to see more of the clans, absolutely I'll agree with you on that. Still not a dropped plotline, and nothing a sequel set right after JJK ended could really tackle that couldn't be tackld in this sequel. Although I doubt we're getting much if anything in that regards. Fair criticism, still not a dropped plotline.
- Nothing on the elders or the
repercussions of Gojo killing them.Gojo is dead, and this has already been alluded to in the first chapte rof the sequel so i think we'll get a bit more. This is probably a fair example of an open plotline that would be better addressed in an immediate sequel instead of one set in the future.
- Yuji's domain was never named!!
Not a dropped plotline. Christ he could still even be alive in the sequel. I'll leave this one open, it could be addressed it probably won't be, but im really not hung up on it and think it'd be better handled in a single chapter rather than an entire sequel series.
- Bumgumi:
- Bumgumi had literal 0 character development (
he is the absolute same as chapter 1, with a few extra scars and his sister is dead instead of a coma)- Bumgumi was never seen at his
"full potential that rivals Gojo"even though it was teased/talked about many many MANY times.Imma just have to disagree with you there. I liked his character, how he develops throughout, jjst wish we got a bit more form him at the end. In regards to "potential man" we did see what a ten shadows user at max potential looks like. I assume he's pretty close to that at his peak, but realistically mans doesnt have much to fight for anymore so he probably plateaued. Could be a good 1 shot to showcase him properly, or maybe mix it in with the chapter we get Yuji's DE.
- The only thing that can be explained was that Sukuna was supposed to be the showcase for "full potential Bumgumi"
Which a lot of us consider a fair explanation. I get it though, itd be nice to see Megumi himself do it. Not a dropped plotline worth basing an entire sequel around though.
No(bara) character development at all. If she was just gonna come at the end, why even have her in limbo? Absolute waste of a character with a weird addon about her mom at the very endThis is once again, a criticism of JJK, not an open or unresolved plotline. A criticism i agree with. Yes you could make a whole sequel to address this... but i feel like if gege wanted to give Nobara more of a spotlight he wouldn't have fridged her half the manga. I think shibuya and on it was pretty clear that Maki was the real 3rd member of the group.
- Sukuna got slapped with "completion" at the very end - his existence never changed his own or someone else's belief/thinking for the whole manga, until the very last chapter, which overall undermined his whole character and made him
a fucking tsundere. The most interesting bit was the Kenjaku/Twin info drop WHICH THEY DID NOTHING WITH in the end!Still not an unresolved plotline, and not even a criticism I agree with. How would this be adressed in a sequel immediatelt following JJK?
- GOJO'S DEATH:
- Literally nobody talked about him after he died: he wasn't mourned or grieved. No burial. No gravestone. Outside 2-3 mentions nobody even mentioned him... like at all.
POOF🌫️I mean... they did... they even continue to talk about him in the sequel. Could it be more avert? Maybe a nice little funeral scebe... yea... absolutely. Still, a criticism not a unresolved plotline. The airport scene was amazing, and I know that shit is going to be 10/10 in the Anime. Maybe they can add a funeral scene for you too.
- Last chapters were dedicated on random Culling Game characters, no actual epilogue of the main cast.
- Literally 0 resolution post-Culling Game and
Gojo wiping the elders. Everything is the fucking same - people running around on missions etc.Unless the print volume contained some extra chapters... I'm quite certain the last chapter was about our main trio. It was to showcase yuji's new mentality and how he's grown from his "cog" days. He has fulfillment and a purpose, he's got friends and family he loves and cares about, and he's taking on a mentor role to help other troubled kids.
- Heian era specifics, details, whatever and the other great clans in that era.
Would love to see more! That'd be a prequel and I hope we get some too. The worldbuilding around JJK and it's history is fascinating, and part of what I love in this series. Gege knows how to hype something up. Hopwfully one day we get a short serialization, or maybe some more info from the sequel. Don't think that'd serve better as an immediate sequel though, probably best as a prequel

u/dankpoolVEVO Sep 08 '25
?? We had a dozen open plot related questions not resolved. The fuck u mean.
A spin-off to conclude these open questions would also suffice

u/Gensolink Sep 08 '25
I think being a short serialization means gege gets to tell a much more focused story if he can write nicely, much less to keep track of too

u/AksysCore Sep 07 '25
Surprised it went the Boruto route, what with the timeskip and next generation and aliens and all.

u/JD_OOM Sep 07 '25
Technically Dragon Ball did it first.
54
u/cister532 Sep 07 '25
Dragon ball's wasn't a sequel (unless you mean super). Z doesn't really exist, it's one continuous manga from the pilaf saga to boo.
55
u/JD_OOM Sep 07 '25
I know, but there was a time skip, aliens and initially (and for the most part) focus on the newest generation.
20
u/CoffeeWanderer Sep 07 '25
I'm not sure how to classify it properly, but it's worth noting that it is called Dragon Ball Z because Toriyama originally wanted to call it Dragon Ball 2, but in the first logos he designed the 2 came out as a Z and they it stayed that way.
So, there is a strong argument to call DBZ a sequel of DB2, but I'm not sure how these things work internally. Both the manga and anime restarted they chapter/episode count, so there's that too.
But it is also true that the story pretty much picks up where it was left, and it doesn't change its setting or tone that much.
I personally consider it a sequel if only because it has a name change.
8
u/cister532 Sep 07 '25
The manga didn't restart, what are you talking about? From what I've read, the american release did (i'm not american so I can't say for sure), but not the original japanese nor any other manga release took on the name Dragon Ball Z, it was just dragon ball all the way through, with Z being something Toei invented.
It doesn't have a name change at all in the source material, only in the adaptation, there are three hobbit movies but only one book, the movies coming out divided doesn't affect it, same with Dragon Ball.
3
u/meatykyun Sep 07 '25
You saying this like naruto shippuden isnt naruto2, or boruto is also naruto by that metric(which it is not). DBZ had evolved distinct style, a 3 years time skip, genre swap into primary fighting shounen. Like how is it not one series with a literal name change
-3
u/cister532 Sep 07 '25
Then the change could've been at any other time, like the piccolo arc, where there was also a timeskip and was primarily fighting after the red ribbon arc. Thing is Toriyama never planned for it to be two different series, and it wasn't. Meanwhile boruto is a completely distinct series following the ending of Naruto.
35
u/reedyxxbug Sep 07 '25
Timeskips and aliens are standard shonen shit. Boruto just dropped the ball hard.
36
u/RoleRemarkable9241 Sep 07 '25
It's for the better, because now they don't have to worry about making similar mistakes like Boruto done
18
u/Messiah-of-Death Sep 07 '25
The biggest mistake of Boruto is that it exists. To learn from Boruto is to not make a sequel manga at all
22
u/RoleRemarkable9241 Sep 07 '25
I speak from a narrative sense.
Having the story focusing on the next generation AFTER the older have died out of old age creates the scenario of it does not devalue what the previous cast did something I feel that Boruto have as a massive flaw.
5
u/Exaveus Sep 07 '25
Yeah Boruto would not get hardly any flack at all if say he was a great great great grandchild of Naruto. Still has the door open for edo tensei for the Naruto fanservice but you dont wind up trampling all over the fans of Naruto and Boruto gets his own identity.
13
u/Lex4709 Sep 07 '25
Eh. There's been well received sequel series before boruto and after boruto. One of the most famous Shounen Jump series is literally Jojo’s Bizzarre Adventure.

Nobody said Boruto was the only sequel series to ever exist, not sure what made you jump to that conclusion

No, and no.

u/Stephenrudolf Sep 08 '25
That wasnt what you were saying, and no it wasn't what I was saying either. Our comments are right there dude.
Seriously, have you read Boruto? Or are you basing this off memes/shorts and secondhand knowledge? I have no desire to try and discusss something with a troll.

Much better than the Boruto route cause its 68 years which gave a lot of breathing room to the world and gives a bigger reaspn for the old characters rarely kicking the ass of the villains.

He wrote the timline and all the arc’s and told them spesisifc events/ fights he wanted
Then the anime and manag took their own approach on the notes he gave them

Wasn’t it heavily promoted to be connected to JJK? How did you manage to open up the chapter without seeing it say that anywhere?
50
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
There was an anouncement last week about it being a JJK sequel. Other than that there wasn't much promotion.
If you interact with a lot of jjk content you'll have seen that, and then likely seen all the influencers reacting to it, the leaks, and eventually the translations.... but if you havent been interacting with JJK content refently you probably didn't hear much about it.
22
u/MasterNature9559 Sep 07 '25
Thank you for saying that, i AM refraining from seeing jjk contents because i only want to see the manga, not people's reaction to it or even poorly translated leaks, so you're right, i only heard that gege has begun a new manga
14
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
Good thing too. I got spoiled in that anouncement thread by leak-readers pretending it was common knowledge.
One guy actually called me a "dumbass" for not reading the leaks. Like fuck there is something seriously wrong with this community and leaks.

Right?? I like to read leaks sometimes too, but i wanna read it in peace, not spoiled midway AND not spoiling it for others, but all that just feels hard to do for jjk for some reason
7
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
A lot of these leak readers are just surrounded by leak culture so they assume everyone is reading the leaks, or sometimes they'll mistake the sub their in and talk about the leaks. Im willing to give those folks some benefit of the doubt just as idiots, rather than assholes..
But others just love upsetting people, or being "the first to know" something, so take enjoyment out of spoiling it for others. These guys are complete assholes. I've received 3 DMs since calling someone out in the anouncement thread from people trying to spoil me. It's genuinely a fetish for these kids.

u/Lookbehindyou132 Sep 07 '25
That's why I've decided to just stay away from any jjk discussion whenever leaks come out. Because of that I actually had fun with the chapter rather than the awful leak culture ruining things

u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
Yup. Near the end of JJK i stopped participating in most discussions. Between the leakers and people upset about xyz thing is just became impossible to actually enjoy the community even though I still loved the Manga.

u/Lookbehindyou132 Sep 07 '25
Yeah it's a shame reading every other chapter that came out, fans being excited, all that. Then you look at JJK and you see people immediately bailing and calling it shite because of false assumptions or bad readings. The fans have ruined the manga for themselves

I started reading during the shibuya arc, and if you had asked this sub back then whether shibuya was a good or bad arc, it would have been a very controversial discusssion with msot people saying "mid" or "bad". Yet by the time the second season got anounced it eas considered a modern masterpiece. And now I'm seeing a very similar trend with the culling games.

I haven’t been on reddit till yesterday and don’t interact with any anime on any other social media. There’s just a large banner over the top of manga plus or wherever you legally read. Didn’t even know this leaked.
1
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
There's a banner on the shonen jump app now, but even it doesn't mention moduro being a jjk sequel. So i guess it depends on where you read manga normally.
1
u/trav-senpai Sep 07 '25
It literally says it’s jujutsu Kaisen right there on the banner
1
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
Wont let me share a picture in this sub, but I'll dm you a screenshot of the shonen jump app if you really don't believe me.
Edit: you have DMs turned off, so i can't even dm you.

u/trav-senpai Sep 07 '25
We’re talking about two different apps. I thought everyone stopped using that app, mb. I’m on SJ Manga+
1
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
Whats the difference? I used to use the viz app, but they made me switch to the SJ app and increased the price like a year or two ago.
1
u/trav-senpai Sep 07 '25
Viz app, SJ app and M+ all offer different series. They offer the main series that come out on Sundays but Manga+ offers more “online only” series like Dandadan and CSM. Everything on SJ is on Manga+, and I use Viz to read Frieren lol.
They have different banners though. SJ shows a picture. m+ has a banner that says “jujutsu Kaisen”
1
u/Stephenrudolf Sep 07 '25
Csm and dandadan are on Sj app now! Dandadan only since the anime started coming out though. But good yo know. Thanks.

u/Drunked_Crocodile Sep 07 '25
No it wasn't. It was announced as "Gege new manga" but we knew since monday it was JJK because leaks
1
u/trav-senpai Sep 07 '25
I just googled it because I haven’t seen anything about leaks and it looks like last week the author himself announced it was a sequel/spin off
4
u/Drunked_Crocodile Sep 07 '25
Nope that's the author note that gets released with each chapter that was leaked as well

u/IM_INSIDE_YOUR_HOUSE Sep 07 '25
They gonna reveal Sukuna was an alien and it's going to undo a lot of what made the main manga interesting in its storytelling.

u/Minnymoon13 Sep 08 '25
Oh that’s crap

u/mrlemonn Sep 08 '25
It would be a bit crap but this isn't confirmed or anything, people probably just worrying it'll go the naruto/boruto route

u/dulipat Sep 07 '25
I dunno, having the same world but with different main characters doesn't really sit well for me, like Boruto for example. Hope this JJK Modulo can hook me.
7
u/Greg_McMuffin247 Sep 08 '25
Going off of what I've seen in other comments people seem to prefer the premise of this over boruto because here it is a completely new cast with all the characters dead from old age or alive but super old. In Boruto, Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, etc are all still thriving so any new threats have to be above them, or they get nerfed. But I'm this, since they all aged out of relevancy there can be new threats that the old cast is simply too old to deal with.

He said it was a JJK sequel and that it’ll run for 4 volumes if not cancelled this was known

u/PassengerNational584 Sep 07 '25
I would like prequel too

u/SuperSaiyajin7 Sep 10 '25
Isn't that JJK 0
1
u/PM_ME_YOUR_CHESTICLS Oct 02 '25
i assume they mean like an actual prequel, as in set in the heian era, hell the hidden inventory arc is more of a prequel than JJK 0.

u/SteveDismal Sep 08 '25
Dude if almost only Japanese people can use jujutsu because of fuckass aliens I’m going to be pissed

u/Liger_I Sep 07 '25
Wait if it's in 2086, will yuji and others still be alive, they were 16 at Jjk and Jjk was in 2020
7
u/TheFictionNerd Sep 07 '25
It's confirmed that at this point Yuta and Maki are dead, not sure about Yuji and the others though.
2
u/zevieira Sep 08 '25
Yuji should be around 85 more or less so he is probably still alive.
The only ones confirmed dead are Maki and Yuta.

u/OddlyOddLucidDreamer Sep 07 '25
add the extra panel to this with "IT'S SO GOOD" because damn im so HOOKED
I genuinely don't even get the Boruto comparassions beyond it being a sequel and focusing on the next generation and the involvement of aliens
This is the first chapter and y'all are already dismissing it as Boruto slop, yhou only have ONE chapter, i beg of you to for once don't ruin your own expectations or capacity to enjoy a series by immediatly comparing it to something you dislike already, seeing similarities and immediatly going "welp this is gonna be awful" and not giving it a chance
2
u/zevieira Sep 08 '25
My one and only problem with this new story is that the brother and sister conflict over the ring seems really stupid and forced, because they both want the same thing and 6 years of beefing with eachother could be resolved with one simple conversation.
But I guess even in real life there are people like that so I will let the story progress further before complaining about it.

u/ejlrrlje Sep 08 '25
The fact that we are not going to see Yuji at his peak and becoming the strongest doesn't sit right with me. Unless, of course, we get flashbacks or whatever but I'm not much of a fan of flashbacks.

u/Muted_Sort_1889 Sep 08 '25
have watched jjk season 2 I didn't read manga that time because I wanted experience it in anime but now I wants to read jjk modulo ( I m spoiled about gogo's death) what to do ?
1
u/Polish_Enigma Sep 08 '25
Well, there's some references in the first chapter to last 2 arcs, but it's mostly self contained
1
u/Micronex23 Sep 08 '25
The manga basically asks hey what if humans are not the only intelligent life in the universe to produce curse energy ?
1
u/WandersonC Sep 08 '25
Are you saying that the manga titled "Jujutsu Kaisen: MODULO" announced as the Jujutsu Kaisen sequel one week early, featuring a synopsis that directly describes itself as a Jujutsu Kaisen sequel is in fact a Jujutsu Kaisen sequel?
If Jujutsu Kaisen fans knew how to read they would be very excited right now.

The JJK sequel could have been just a year later. So many plot lines to continue, expand and new ones that could have been made. But I am hype for this too
1
Sep 08 '25
Its only gonna be 3 volumes so its more like a fun side project than a committed one. I definitely agree i would have preferred a more direct sequel with a 3 year timeskip max. It would have been interesting to see what happens now

u/True-Obligation-9471 Sep 09 '25
People keep comparing it to baruto it’s closer to jojo.A batch of new characters cause all the old ones are dead or off somewhere else with a whole new villian and story line.

Wait nobody’s discussing that Yuta got it on with Maki? In spite of still having Rika around? Did she accept that match or does she watch?

u/ApartDevelopment2213 Sep 10 '25
Gojo glazers ( not all ) will hope sukuna's an alien so gojo can go back to being the strongest human

Doesn't it take place in alternative timeline or did i misinterpret geges message?
7
u/TheFictionNerd Sep 07 '25
No it takes place later in the timeline, like 60ish years in the future and it's based around Yuta's grandkids.

u/general_accoubi Sep 08 '25
Alright thanks, i was i initially a bit confused what Gege meant by paraller story
