Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen world is continually expanding. Even after the conclusion of the original manga, the author returned with Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, a short sequel spin-off story set 68 years after the conclusion of the original series. While the vast majority of the new series was set on a completely new set of characters, the creator shocked us all when he set up the return of the greatest duo in the story.
That is the duo of Yuji Itadori and Nobara. In the original story, this duo collaborated on multiple occasions, such as against Eso and Kechizu. In JJK Modulo, this duo returned once again in Chapter 25 on March 9, 2026, in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 15, and they have a bigger role to play in the future.
Yuji and Nobara form a duo that the vast majority of the JJK fans absolutely adore. With Nobara being the main heroine of Jujutsu Kaisen, it goes without saying that her collaboration with Yuji was always loved by all the fans. These two collaborated together in various fights, and the pinnacle of that was their tag team battle against Eso and Kechizu, two of the Death Paintings that they took on together in Chapter 59 of the manga on May 20, 2019.
They fought together once again against Mahito in the Shibuya Incident, but unfortunately, it was here that Nobara suffered a deadly blow from Idle Transfiguration directly from Mahito. Her return happened in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 267, which was officially released by Gege Akutami on August 26, 2024, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #39. In this chapter, Nobara finally woke up and helped Yuji Itadori defeat Ryomen Sukuna by using Resonance on one of his fingers. Together with Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara played a significant role in the fall of the King of Curses and the saving of the Jujutsu world.

Now, in JJK Modulo, the duo of Nobara and Yuji has come together once again, as was confirmed to us on March 9, 2026. Nobara initially returned in Gege Akutami's Modulo sequel at the end of the first volume. However, her role was very limited because Yuji Itadori had not shown up in the manga at the time. Yuji only returned later down the line in Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo chapter 19, which was released on January 26, 2026, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #9. After that, Yuji's role in the manga became far more pronounced as he directly aided in the removal of Cursed Energy from the next generation of Japanese people. To that end, Nobara was also brought into the fold once again. At the end of the Modulo story, Yuji and Nobara started working together as a duo once again.
