The Jujutsu Kaisen franchise has reached another major turning point, but instead of celebration, the reaction has been mixed at best. With the sequel manga Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo concluding just months after it began, longtime readers are grappling with what feels like an abrupt farewell to a world that defined modern shōnen storytelling.
What makes the situation more intense is the timing. The original manga ended not long ago, and expectations were high for its follow-up. Instead, Modulo wrapped up in March 2026 after only 25 chapters, leaving fans with lingering questions, unresolved arcs, and a growing sense that this era of Jujutsu Kaisen ended far too soon.
A major source of frustration comes from the manga’s length, or lack thereof. Across social media, readers have voiced disappointment that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo lasted just six months. Many argue in the comment section of @jujutsu_PR that the sequel should have followed the model of classic long-running shōnen series, which often span years or even decades.
This dissatisfaction isn’t just about quantity. Readers believe the shorter format limited character growth and worldbuilding. With a new generation tied to legacy characters like Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin, expectations were high for a sprawling continuation. Instead, many feel they received a condensed version of what could have been a defining second chapter.
Despite the controversy, the series is still moving forward with its final release. Volume 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is set to launch on May 1, 2026, marking the official end of the sequel. The newly revealed cover features the Simurian twins, Maru and Cross, highlighting their main role in the story’s conflict.
Maru, in particular, has stood out as a key figure, driven by his desire to create coexistence between humans and Simurians. His journey became one of the emotional anchors of the manga, making his presence on the final cover feel fitting. Still, the announcement has done little to ease concerns about the story’s rushed conclusion.
Adding intrigue, a major announcement is scheduled for April 27, just days before the final volume’s release. While details remain unconfirmed, fans are speculating heavily. Many hope for an epilogue or additional chapters that could expand on the ending and address unresolved plot points.
The finale itself has only intensified fan reactions. Rather than offering closure, the *Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo *story ends on a dramatic cliffhanger involving Kyoko Tomoe, Yuka, and a possible return from Dabura. His departure to Simuria, and subsequent actions there, leave major implications for the future of both worlds.
Dabura’s brief rise to leadership after defeating the Deskunte chief and honoring Dura’s legacy adds depth to his character, but also raises questions about his true intentions. The final panel, which hints at his return, feels less like an ending and more like a setup for a continuation that may never come.

As the Jujutsu Kaisen anime gears up for Season 4, a new art release from series creator Gege Akutami features Satoru Gojo and other characters.
Beyond that, several key characters receive minimal attention. Iori Okkotsu and Megumi Fushiguro are barely addressed, and Yuji’s new path is only hinted at rather than explored. For a series tied so closely to its original cast, these omissions stand out as missed opportunities.
Ultimately, the biggest issue isn’t just what Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo included, but what it left out. Whether the upcoming announcement delivers an epilogue or not, fans are left with the same lingering thought: this story felt like it ended right when it was getting started.
