Where is Megumi? The Heartbreaking Truth About the Ten Shadows User in JJK Modulo Finally Leaks!

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 25: Release Date, Spoilers, and the Mystery of Megumi Fushiguro’s Fate

Mumbai, 06 March 2026, Friday. The global anime community is currently in a state of absolute shock as the first wave of leaks for Jujutsu Kaisen Module Chapter 25 has hit social media, signaling the end of an era.

While the world already knew the spin-off was wrapping up this weekend on March 8, the specific details regarding Megumi Fushiguro’s fate and Yuji Itadori’s controversial new role have sparked a massive firestorm among fans. According to the latest trade buzz and early leaks circulating on Reddit, the series is concluding its “super climax” by revealing that Megumi may have passed away off-screen, allegedly after a pathetic encounter with a Grade 2 curse.

Meanwhile, Yuji Itadori is reportedly planning to become a “benevolent cursed object,” effectively choosing a symbiotic existence that mirrors his old enemy, Sukuna.

The context here is massive. Gege Akutami and artist Yuji Iwasaki launched Modulo in September 2025 as a short-term sequel set 68 years after the Culling Game. It introduced us to space-traveling aliens called Simurians and a world where the very definition of “cursed energy” was under threat. For months, fans have been debating whether this spin-off was a necessary fix for the original Jujutsu Kaisen ending or just a quick cash grab. But with Chapter 25 acting as the official finale, the conversation has shifted toward the legacy of the original trio.

Is Gege Akutami finally satisfied with how he treated his characters, or is he just trolling the Megumi Fushiguro fandom one last time?

For years, Megumi was the secondary protagonist, the genius of the Ten Shadows. To have him mentioned in the finale as someone who “died to a Grade 2 curse” feels like a slap in the face to some, while others see it as a poetic end for a man who never wanted the spotlight. Are we watching the growth of a franchise that finally understands closure, or are we just witnessing a rushed exit to make room for the next project?

The Narrative Timeline of the Final Climax

According to reports from Popverse and early leaks on Jujutsu Kaisen subreddits, the finale picks up immediately after Maru’s world-changing decision to eradicate cursed energy. The timeline of events in Chapter 25 focuses heavily on the aftermath of the ritual. We see a heartwarming but brief reunion between Yuji and Panda at the Gojo Clan storage space. But the real “tear-jerker” is Yuji’s conversation with Nobara, where he admits he still sees himself as a “cog” in the grand machine of jujutsu.

The leaks suggest that Yuji doesn’t want a normal death. Instead, he intends to spend his remaining time teaching barrier techniques and finding a way to transform into a cursed object. He wants to be consumed by a future vessel, not to take them over like Sukuna did, but to live in a symbiotic relationship. This choice has divided the internet. Some call it a “heartwarming” evolution of his character, while others find it depressing that Yuji still doesn’t value his own life.

Megumi’s Status and the Simurian Conflict

The biggest disappointment for many is the lack of a proper send-off for Megumi Fushiguro. While Chapter 25 confirms that he has passed away, the details are kept vague. This has led to a “fan war” on Twitter, where users are accusing the writers of neglecting one of the series’ most iconic figures. However, the fight between Dabura and Mahoraga—which many expected to see in full glory—was reportedly interrupted by Maru’s soul manipulation, leaving some battle-hungry fans feeling unsatisfied.

As per our early trade estimates, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo will wrap up with exactly 25 chapters, filling a total of three volumes. The third and final volume is scheduled to release on August 1, 2026. While this spin-off was always meant to be “short and intensely compact,” the impact it has had on the lore is permanent. It has effectively closed the loop on Suguru Geto’s dream by removing the source of conflict—cursed energy itself.

What Happens After the Final Page?

The final page of the manga reportedly asks readers to “look forward to the next work by Akutami-sensei and Iwasaki-sensei”. This has led to speculation about whether they will work together again on a new series or if Jujutsu Kaisen is finally done for good. There are also rumors of a new light novel in the works that might flesh out the years between the original series and Modulo.

For now, the story of Yuji, Maru, and the new generation of sorcerers ends here. The finale officially drops on March 8, 2026, at 8:30 PM IST on Manga Plus and VIZ Media. Whether you love the ending or hate the pacing, there is no denying that Modulo has been one of the most talked-about manga events of the year.

I’ve seen a lot of manga endings, but this one feels particularly personal. Gege has a way of hurting his fans while giving them exactly what the story needs. Turning Yuji into a “benevolent cursed object” is such a genius, albeit tragic, way to bring the series full circle. It’s bad news for those who wanted a happy, retired Yuji, but it’s great news for the lore. The Megumi news? Yeah, that’s just Gege being Gege. He loves the chaos!

My Take

Question for you: Do you think Yuji choosing to become a cursed object is a “heroic” sacrifice, or is he just unable to let go of his past trauma?
