The Jujutsu Kaisen sequel, titled Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo by Gege Akutami, is nearing its conclusion, providing satisfying answers about the fate of its characters. Although it ended earlier than expected, Modulo impressed fans by thoroughly addressing the deep-rooted corruption within the jujutsu society, something even Gojo Satoru couldn’t accomplish in his lifetime.
Dabura, A Power Rivaling Sukuna and the Burden of Strength
In the latest developments, the appearance of Dabura, the strongest of the Simurian clan, shocked the fan community. With power on par with the Cursed King Sukuna, Dabura faces a tragic fate similar to Gojo’s. Though he wields immense power, he remains shackled by corrupt rulers.
While Gojo was constrained by the rigid structure of the jujutsu elite, Dabura is controlled by his clan’s elders through a curse placed on his sister. This dirty tactic exploits his strength for their selfish gain.
A Moment of Revenge for Gojo Satoru
Fans will recall that during the Hidden Inventory arc, Gojo expressed a deep desire to purge the rotten upper ranks. Yet, even at his sacrifice, he never fulfilled this wish. Instead, the elite blamed him for the Shibuya Incident’s chaos as soon as he was sealed.
That’s why Dabura’s actions in Modulo bring immense satisfaction to viewers. After receiving the Black Rope from Itadori Yuji, Dabura successfully lifted the curse on his sister. Immediately, he swept away the corrupt rulers in a swift purge and declared himself the new leader of the Deskunte clan.
The Strange Similarity Between Gojo and Dabura
Interestingly, right after overthrowing the old regime, Dabura resigned, admitting his lack of political knowledge. This detail perfectly reflects why Gojo Satoru never chose an extreme path to change the system. Gojo understood that while eliminating corrupt leaders is easy, running a society requires a sustainable political structure that he alone couldn’t manage.
Still, seeing Dabura carry out this bloody purge gives fans a glimpse of what might have happened if “Master Gojo” truly rebelled. Modulo delivers a more just ending for the jujutsu world, where those who abused power finally face consequences.
