The new era of Jujutsu Sorcery has plunged into chaos with the arrival of the Simurian aliens. While Usami and the Jujutsu High elders try to navigate a path of peaceful coexistence, the Okkotsu siblings are thrust into a high stakes investigation. Chapter 2 ended with a shocking cliffhanger, as Tsurugi mistook Maru’s hostile twin, Cross, for his newfound ally. The fate of Earth hangs in the balance as a new conflict is about to begin.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo 2 Recap: A World of “Deterrence”
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 2, “Deterrence” delved into the complex politics of first contact. The chapter began with a flashback to a meeting between Japan’s acting minister, Usami and the Simurian diplomats. The meeting revealed that the Simurian aliens are not invaders but refugees and their leader is a “Sukuna level threat” capable of destroying the country with ease. This power imbalance forces the humans to pursue a path of reconciliation, with Usami entrusting the mission to the next generation.
We also saw the Okkotsu siblings, Tsurugi and Yuka, driven by the desire to become as strong as their grandparents, Yuta and Maki. They successfully investigated the alien spaceship but the chapter ended on a tense note: Tsurugi, who believed he was meeting his friend Maru, was instead confronted by his cold and hostile twin brother, Cross.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo 3 Predictions & Theories: Twin Fates and a Broader War
With Tsurugi’s encounter with Cross at the end of the last chapter, the narrative is now perfectly poised to explore the true complexities of the aliens and their intentions. Chapter 3 will likely jump into this confrontation and reveal the true motives behind the Simurian presence.
Tsurugi vs. Cross: Tsurugi, who is naturally distrustful, will be caught completely off guard by Cross’s hostility. The chapter will likely open with a confrontation, where Tsurugi’s confusion turns to suspicion, possibly leading to a tense, but ultimately non lethal, clash. This will be Tsurugi’s first direct encounter with the alien’s true nature and it may serve to fuel his “Maki like” conviction.
The Simurian Civil War: Maru’s conversation with his twin brother revealed a split within the alien race: some want to coexist, while others believe in conflict. Cross’s presence on Earth and his hostile behavior suggest that the hardliners are already taking action. The chapter might reveal the true intentions of Cross and his faction, showing that the real war is not between humans and aliens but between two factions of Simurians.
A Maki/Yuta Parallel: The chapter could also draw a parallel between the Okkotsu siblings and their grandparents. Yuta, who was known for his calm demeanor and ability to build trust, is reflected in Yuka’s belief in peaceful coexistence. In contrast, Tsurugi, who shares Maki’s Heavenly Restriction and aggressive fighting style, will likely be at odds with the diplomatic approach. This internal conflict between the siblings will mirror their own dynamic and their path to greatness.
How will Tsurugi’s clash with Cross affect the future of diplomacy? Will this lead to an all out war or a chance at a new kind of peace? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
