Gege Akutami’s original Jujutsu Kaisen story reached its conclusion with the release of Chapter 271 on September 30, 2024, in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 44. However, the world of Jujutsu Kaisen continued beyond that. Almost a year later, Gege Akutami made an official comeback with a sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen, called Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo, which is set 68 years after the conclusion of the Sukuna Raid.
In this new story, Yuji Itadori, the former protagonist, was shown to be at the prime of his powers and standing tall as a Special Grade Sorcerer. Naturally, by adulthood, Yuji Itadori has gained many powerful abilities, and he is confirmed to have become Japan’s strongest sorcerer. Yuji has also reached a level of strength where he has surpassed both Gojo and Sukuna, which means that his overall sorcery level is far beyond anything that we have seen in the story. Yuji Itadori has also officially upgraded his domain expansion powers, given his control over his new cursed techniques, and that is exciting for all the fans to see.
Gege Akutami Gives Perfect Cursed Technique Control To Adult Yuji Itadori
Yuji Itadori first awakened his Domain Expansion in the Shinjuku Showdown arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, but the basis for it was established by Gege in chapter 257 of the series when he awakened his Cursed Technique. This chapter was released on April 22, 2024, in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump issue 21, and it saw Yuji tap into the same power as Sukuna, known as Shrine, and gain the power to launch powerful Dismantles, especially targeted at the soul.

Yuji Itadori was able to push back the King of Curses and eventually even defeat him in combat, which was amazing for all of us to see. Naturally, as the battle continued, Yuji took these abilities beyond all limits and created his own Domain Expansion. Yuji Itadori’s Domain Expansion, which remains unnamed to this day, was unveiled in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 264, released on July 29, 2024, in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 35. Inside his domain, we could see all the places that Yuji grew up in, which he holds dear to his heart. It was in this domain that he dealt the final blow to Ryomen Sukuna by launching a powerful Soul Dismantle Sure Hit, and defeating him for good. While this Domain Expansion was already powerful enough on its own, it was not a depiction of Yuji at the peak of his powers, meaning that his new Domain Expansion, which has now been upgraded in the Modulo era, is much more powerful.
Why Yuji’s Domain Expansion Has Been Upgraded With Shrine And Blood Manipulation Mastery
In Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo, Yuji Itadori is stronger than ever before. On May 1, 2026, with the release of Modulo Volume 3, Gege Akutami confirmed to us that Yuji Itadori is not only the strongest sorcerer of all time but also classified as a Special Grade now. Gege also went on to confirm that Yuji has perfect mastery over not one, but two cursed techniques. In Modulo Chapter 19, which was officially released on January 26, 2026, in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 9, Yuji Itadori demonstrated fully mastered Blood Manipulation beyond anything that we had ever seen. A week later, in Modulo Chapter 20, Yuji unleashed his newly mastered Shrine Technique and showed usage far better than Sukuna ever did.
“What’s all this? You completely failed to gather them up. Well, can’t help it. They’re still new to this. Dismantle!!” — Yuji unleashes a massive Dismantle, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter #20
Clearly, Yuji’s control over both Shrine and Blood Manipulation has reached an entirely new level, and he was even able to slice through Mahito’s attacks without even lifting a finger. His control over cursed energy, cursed techniques, and even things like incantations and hand signs has reached such a level that he is essentially a god of sorcery.
In other words, Yuji Itadori’s domain expansion, which was half-baked when he fought against Sukuna, has now been fully mastered. His new domain expansion is likely to be similar to Malevolent Shrine, only much more dangerous and deadly. Furthermore, Yuji can also possibly imbue his Blood Manipulation inside his domain to create a completely new sure-hit, giving him access to two different variants of the technique and making him incredibly special in the process.
There is absolutely no denying the fact that Yuji Itadori is one of the deadliest Domain Expansion users to ever exist, but unfortunately, we have yet to see him going all out in battle. What little we have seen, however, confirms him as the strongest of all time among humans.
Yuji’s Full Power As An Adult
In the Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo era, Yuji Itadori’s full strength has not been revealed, but Gege has shown us enough for us to conclude that he is the strongest of all time. For starters, Yuji Itadori’s Blood Manipulation is far better than that of any other sorcerer. At the same time, his control over Shrine has surpassed that of Ryomen Sukuna, with him being able to launch Dismantles that span over kilometers. On top of that, he is able to tear through enemy attacks and shred them without even using incantations or hand signs, which is a mark of a remarkable sorcerer.
Yuji: You’re quite sturdy! Don’t worry, this won’t kill you! Black Flash!
Sorcerer: Such precision. I didn’t even sense any Cursed Energy from him until it collected in his fist!

Furthermore, Yuji Itadori has become the first sorcerer to be able to hit Black Flash at will. This was seen in Modulo Chapter 20, where a glimpse of his true strength was revealed to us. With all these incredible abilities, Yuji is already a god of jujutsu sorcery. He is also part spirit and part human, which means that his body ages significantly slower than an average human. Yuji Itadori is already in his 80s, but he’s set to live for 300 more years.
In other words, Yuji will continue to remain in his prime and amass more experience and gain further strength as he grows older. His strength as an adult sorcerer is far beyond that of Sukuna and Gojo, and there is absolutely no denying that fact. Hopefully, Gege Akutami eventually makes a return to Jujutsu Kaisen and shows us how strong Yuji truly is in his prime, and all fans would absolutely love to see that.
