Unlike other spin-off manga, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo hasn’t given fans much insight into what happened to many of their favorite characters after the main story. Because of this, the sneak peek of Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter #6 brought great enthusiasm from fans eager to see more of him. Sadly, Yuji’s triumphant return has been undermined.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo chapter #7 sees the return of one of the series’ greatest villains, Mahito. Tsurugi interacts briefly with Mahito before waking up in the hospital, who seems to have confused him with Yuji. However, while Mahito’s appearance gives a big revelation about Yuji, it has been overshadowed by the presence and impact this cursed spirit has on fans.

Mahito Foreshadows That Yuji Itadori is Still Alive

While Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo made fans think that Mahito has reincarnated and will return as an antagonist, its real purpose may be to reveal that Yuji is still alive. Since Tsurugi was saved by Cross, his near-death experience could have made him temporarily touch the space between dream and reality, where Mahito remained at the end of the main story.

Furthermore, Mahito seems to be waiting for Yuji, which means he hasn’t been on the pathway of souls yet. While Yuji was presumed dead by fans given that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo takes place 68 years in the future, this hasn’t been confirmed in the story. This highlights how Mahito probably wants them both to reincarnate at the same time because Yuji promised to kill him in his next life.
