Recap of Chapter 7: A gut-wrenching shift

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 7, titled “The Robbed,” was arguably the best chapter so far, and it’s easy to see why. The narrative picked up right after Masaki Takeda’s defeat, exploring Cross’s growing distrust of humanity while revealing new dimensions to his relationship with Yuka and Suduki.

The chapter’s most devastating twist came when Yuka Okkotsu learned she had a malignant brain tumor and only six months to live. This revelation instantly redefined her role in the story, grounding Modulo’s grand sci-fi and supernatural conflict in something intensely personal and human.

The heart-to-heart dialogue between Yuka and Cross about faith, mortality, and cultural misunderstanding was a masterstroke by Akutami, raw, philosophical, and incredibly moving.

Yet, this emotional scene was balanced with political tension. Cross’s speeches about humanity’s arrogance and the Simurians’ suffering hinted at deeper historical trauma between the two races.

His perspective paints a grim portrait of coexistence, one that may set the stage for conflict between humans and Simurians in upcoming chapters. And then came the biggest shock of all, Mahito’s apparent return.

In the final pages of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 7, fans witnessed what appeared to be Mahito reappearing or perhaps manifesting through another vessel. While it’s unclear if this is the original Mahito or a reincarnated fragment, his brief presence was enough to send chills down every reader’s spine.

Given the thematic focus of Modulo on identity, resentment, and rebirth, Mahito’s return feels symbolically perfect. He’s always represented humanity’s darkest impulses, and bringing him back during Yuka’s struggle with mortality could be Gege’s way of merging old horrors with new perspectives.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 8 will likely continue exploring the fragile relationship between humans and Simurians following the events of The Robbed. With Yuka’s diagnosis now out in the open (at least to Cross), readers can expect deeper emotional exchanges, possibly a scene where she finally tells Tsurugi about her condition.

Meanwhile, Cross’s cryptic comments about his people’s “man-made disaster” may finally be explained. Fans believe that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 8 could reveal how cursed energy influenced the Simurians’ past, blurring the line between alien science and spiritual corruption.

The biggest question remains: what will Mahito do next? Whether he exists as a hallucination, curse remnant, or spiritual echo, his presence will almost certainly disrupt the growing peace between both species.

Between Yuka’s tragic diagnosis, Cross’s philosophical rage, and Mahito’s sinister shadow looming once again, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 8 could mark the point where Modulo fully transitions from setup to conflict.
