Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, the official sequel focusing on Yuji Itadori, is set 62 years after the original story and reveals the long-term consequences of the battle between Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna. Notably, the latest chapter 12 exposes a horrifying truth about Tokyo: the once-glorious capital has become a cursed wasteland known as the “Inhuman Makyo.”
Tokyo Transformed Into the “Inhuman Makyo”
Chapter 12 of JJK Modulo follows the Simurians as they try to integrate into Japanese society, but the main focus is when one of their members enters the area that used to be Tokyo. Within the sealed city limits, JJK fans finally witness the devastating aftermath of Ryomen Sukuna’s defeat.
The Japanese government’s decision to declare to the world that all Cursed Spirits originated from Tokyo was a move to isolate global panic over Cursed Energy. This turned the area into a deadly trap. Tokyo’s streets are now overrun with terrifying Cursed Spirits of varying power levels. The city, now called Inhuman Makyo, presents a chilling, pure horror setting unlike anything seen before.
While limiting the fallout from Sukuna’s destruction during the Shibuya Incident and Shinjuku Showdown arcs was necessary to preserve the world, it is tragic to see Japan’s capital’s fate. Cursed Spirits dominate the entire city, making it uninhabitable and posing a constant risk of “leaking” into other parts of Japan.
This horrifying scene is the clearest proof that Jujutsu Kaisen never intended to offer a completely happy ending, even if Yuji Itadori and his allies survive. Inhuman Makyo stands as an eternal monument, reminding everyone of the greatest crime in Japan’s history: the King of Curses.
Sukuna’s Historical Impact Will Last Generations
When Ryomen Sukuna was first resurrected inside Yuji Itadori’s body, the ancient sorcerer immediately revealed his desire to spread chaos across Japan. He fulfilled this during the Shibuya Incident, where his Domain Expansion crushed thousands.
However, according to Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo chapter 12, the Shibuya Disaster was only a glimpse of Sukuna’s overall impact. The widespread destruction from his battles with Yuji and allies devastated large parts of Tokyo, and after the final fight, the city was quarantined due to the overwhelming concentration of Cursed Spirits.
Historically, Japan has changed its capital twice (from Nara to Kyoto in 794, and Kyoto to Tokyo in 1868), each marking a major shift in the country’s history. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo suggests that Japan’s third capital change could be attributed to Sukuna. This highlights the immense influence the ancient villain had during the six months of his resurrection.
Today, Inhuman Makyo stands as a monument to Ryomen Sukuna’s crimes, a stark reminder of how dangerous a sorcerer can be. Unfortunately, with Sukuna’s last remaining finger still missing in the Modulo storyline, this likely isn’t the last the world will hear of the King of Curses. If he returns, the terror inside Tokyo could spread across all of Japan.
