original Jujutsu Kaisen The series by Gege Akutami ended in 2024 with the conclusion of the Sukuna War. However, Gage is back with a sequel series, titled Jujutsu Kaisen: ModuloAnd this new manga has officially reached its peak, delivering intensely heated battles throughout. Two big battles are raging at the moment, and at the center of them are the new main characters, Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu.
Gege Akutami intends for Tsurugi Okkotsu to become the next Maki Genin, and Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 20 highlights his incredible transformation as he fully awakens as a non-mage. Tsurugi, the grandson of the Maki Genin, has just unlocked his full potential and become fully Heavenly Banned. Likewise, new fighters at the level of Toji Fushiguro and Maki Genin have recently emerged. Tsurugi can now stand on his own and potentially reach the level of a special grade without Rika's help.
This article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.
Maki Genin and Toji Fushiguro were superhuman due to their Heavenly Ban
-
Toji was born without any curse energy
-
Maki inherited her after her twin sister died
Magicians in Jujutsu Kaisen Born with cursed energy, and with that energy, they can use jujutsu. Certain characters such as Sukuna, Yuta, and Gozo have immense reserves of cursed energy. In that sense, Cursed Energy is essential when it comes to fighting in the JJK world.
However, there exists the concept of heavenly ban which changes things a lot for some people. Most Heavenly Banned individuals do not possess any curse energy, and instead, they reach new heights of power with just their physical strength.. In Jujutsu Kaisen, only two characters have ever held the full Heavenly Ban.
- Toji Fushiguro: The first character fans saw with full Heavenly Ban was Megumi's father Toji who abandoned the genin clan due to their treatment of him. Known to have been born with a special body, Toji Fushiguro went on to become a fearsome mage assassin, and with this power, he nearly took down Gojo Satoru until he awoke. Touji's physical gifts were such that even Gozo could not compete with him before the awakening of his Cursed Technique Reversal.
- Maki Janine: The second to meet the second Heavenly Banned personal fans is Genin Maki. Unlike Touji, who was born with a full heavenly ban, Maki had some amount of cursed energy for a long time in the story, though it was a negligible amount. However, things changed for him shortly before the Calling Game arc. Considering that the jujutsu world views the twins as a single being, it was necessary to go through with Maki's cursed energy and Mai's to completely restrict both. As long as Mai held the cursed energy and the marks remained on Mai's body, she remained weak. With her sister's death, all of her cursed energy disappeared, and she reached the same level as Toji Fushiguro, completely destroying the genin clan.
As seen in Maki's fight against Sukuna, Heavenly Banned individuals with no cursed energy are overpowered. King of Curses Sukuna couldn't sense Maki coming because he didn't have the power to sense. They have certain hits from multiple domains and his senses are heightened to supernatural levels. The Heavenly Banned Ones have great abilities, and they have a body of steel, no resistance like the others, evident from Maki taking two full black flashes from a full-powered Tsukuna to eliminate them.
Tsurugi Okkotsu has fully awakened his heavenly ban
Rika drained Tsurugi's remaining cursed energy
Previously, only Toji and Maki were completely banned from heaven when jujutsu came into the world. but now, A third character with Heavenly Ban appeared, and that was none other than Tsurugi OkkotsuMaki and Yuuta's own grandson.
before Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 20, Tsurugi summons the powers of Rika, a special category cursed spirit previously possessed by Yuuta, to aid him in his battle against Maru. likewise, Rika took Tsurugi's body, and they became a powerful hybrid-like creature. With Rika's power, Tsurugi was able to push back Maru with ease in battle and even produce feats of incredible strength.
What a pain, you looked just like her. But I promised to help Yuta. Just say, “I accept.” – Rika to Tsurugi
Recently, in the new Jujutsu Kaisen chapter, Rika finally unfused with Tsurugi, and with him, she drained all of her remaining cursed energy.. Now, it can be said that Tsurugi has completed his heavenly ban and has become another person without any curse energy.
Tsurugi fulfilling his heavenly ban has been a point of contention in the story thus far. This is especially so because Toji Fushiguro was born with this condition, while Maki had a twin that held him back from his full potential. Meanwhile, Tsurugi had a little curse energy on him, but there was no obvious way to remove it from himself. But now, Gage has revealed the true explanation of how Tsurugi was able to attain this state, thanks to Rika.
Tsurugi should be comparable in strength to Maki and Toji
-
Tsurugi connects with Maki's Split Soul Katana
-
Tsurugi still needs to gain more experience
Now that Tsurugi Okkotsu has achieved his fully realized Heavenly Ban, it can be said that, in terms of probability, He is in the same league as Toji Fushiguro and Maki Genin.
Tsurugi, after all, was already an experienced fighter who had been trained by Maki while growing up. He also has a technique not previously used by Toji or Maki, and that is. Simple domain. Of course, in all those years, it's possible that Maki learned this sometime after the Sukuna War and passed it on to him.
Take the rest of the Simurians and leave Earth.—Surugi to Maru
Tsurugi also went on to acquire Maki's most prized weapon, the JJK Modulo Split Soul Katana in Chapter 20.. Apparently in the story, the Split Soul Katana was a weapon that Mai replicated before she died through her creation technique, and is stored within the rest of her soul. This weapon is one of the most powerful in JJK, as it allows direct damage to the soul of whoever pierces it, ignoring all physical defenses.
The whereabouts of this sword had not been known until now, but it was now confirmed that it was stored within Rika's armory, ready to be used and handed to Tsurugi at the right time. As Yuka inherits her grandfather, Yuta Okkotsu's ring, Tsurugi also receives her own inheritance from her beloved grandmother, Maki..
It goes without saying that Tsurugi Okkotsu is now very powerful, with his newly acquired Heavenly Ban. However, he still lacks the experience that Maki and Toji have. Maki had gone through many tough battles and trained hard during the Calling Game and Shinjuku Showdown, especially when fighting against Tsukuna. Toji also fought several top tiers such as Gozo and Geto and destroyed them. By the end of Modulo, Tsurugi might actually be on the same level as them and eventually, even surpass them..
