Gojo Satoru was an iconic sorcerer who was also quite easily the most popular character in the original Jujutsu Kaisen story by Gege Akutami. As the strongest modern sorcerer, Gojo was a fan favorite, which is precisely why it was a significant blow when he ended up losing his life in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236, on September 24, 2023.
Gojo's death left a massive hole for the sorcerers to fill, but now, in the Modulo era, the next Gojo Satoru has officially been unveiled to us. This person is none other than Yuji Itadori, as confirmed in the final volume release of JJK Modulo on May 1, 2026. Not only has Yuji Itadori inherited Gojo Satoru's dreams, but he has also taken over his title of the “Strongest,” making him Gojo's perfect successor.
When the original Jujutsu Kaisen manga ended, Gege Akutami gave us a small flashback that showcased the last meeting between Gojo and Yuji before the Shinjuku Showdown Battle began. In this small meeting, Gojo told Yuji to seek a different kind of strength from him, but at the same time, he also entrusted his dreams to him. Just as Gojo dedicated his life to raising the next generation in order to change a corrupt sorcerer society, Yuji Itadori is now doing the same in the Modulo era. Of course, the sorcerer society itself has changed dramatically over the years, but in an incredibly unpredictable and turbulent time following the removal of Cursed Energy from Japanese sorcerers at the end of JJK Modulo in Chapter 25, Yuji Itadori has a big role to play.
“What we're about to do is a very grave sin that can never be atoned for. We are throwing away a possible future just to be safe. But even so, I'll do it!” — Yuji Itadori decides to remove cursed energy, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter #22
Just as Gojo once did, Yuji will raise the next generation of sorcerers. In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 25, which was officially released on March 8, 2026, Yuji Itadori made his desire to raise a new generation of sorcerers known. On his quest, he will be helped by Nobara Kugisaki and Aoi Todo, both of whom are capable sorcerers in their own right. In essence, Yuji Itadori is going to play the same role as Gojo Satoru to raise the next generation right. This is precisely what Gojo had asked of him before his death, and now Yuji is finally honoring it.
“There's a dream I want you to carry on in my wake if something should happen to me. But if this is where I bow out, there will be a time when you guys grow more than I ever did, right? I'm expecting great things from you. Got that, Yuji?” — Gojo entrusts his dream to Yuji, JJK Chapter #271
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 25 also highlighted the fact that Yuji still has access to the Gojo Clan warehouse. This was first shown when Yuji went to the warehouse to procure Panda and take him along to meet Nobara. While explaining his plan to her in Modulo Chapter 25, Yuji officially stated that he intends to take the Cursed Tools currently present in the Gojo Clan warehouse and mass-produce them.
The primary reason for this is Yuji’s removal of cursed energy from the future generation of sorcerers. Without cursed energy, there will be no means to fight against Cursed Spirits. Yuji wants to mitigate that by raising a generation of Heavenly Restriction users who can all wield powerful Cursed Tools that will now be mass-produced. This will allow for a new generation to rise who can fight against adversity, and they will all be trained by Yuji Itadori himself, just as Gojo intended. The fact that Yuji also has access to the warehouses of the Gojo clan further goes to show that his connection to Gojo, and his role as the “next Gojo Satoru,” is extremely important in the overarching narrative of this world.
