The popular franchise ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ returns to the anime and manga scene with the new series titled ‘Jujutsu Kaisen: Module’, which focuses on the grandchildren of the original characters Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin, taking the story to a future where the fight against curses continues. In this sequel, elements of science fiction such as alien invasions are introduced, an unexpected twist for fans of the original series.
Similar, but better
This new installment is not only a continuation but also an opportunity for creator Gege Akutami to address the criticisms received for the ending of the original series, which many fans considered rushed and with loose ends. With the art of Yuji Iwasaki, known for his work on ‘Cipher Academy’, Akutami can fully focus on writing and planning the story, which promises a more polished narrative.
Akutami has expressed his intention to learn from past mistakes and not repeat them in ‘Jujutsu Kaisen: Module’. With a renewed focus, the author is committed to developing charismatic and well-rounded characters that do not rely entirely on the legacy of the original series, which could provide a refreshing change in the narrative dynamics.
The first advances of the series suggest that the protagonists, Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu, are well-developed and have characteristics that make them appealing to fans. Additionally, the sequel aims to serve as a space to unveil some mysteries that were left pending in the previous series, a strategy that could further reconnect with an audience eager for answers. ‘Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo’ seems to be designed not only to continue the story but to refine it significantly.
