The Jujutsu Kaisen universe continues to expand with its follow-up series, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, and it’s already making waves by introducing a potential successor to Gojo Satoru. Maru, a character whose sheer power and presence are sparking heated debates across the fandom.
While Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo explores new clans like the Simurian and dives deeper into cursed techniques, it’s Maru (full name: Marulu Val Vol Yelvori) who’s drawing the most attention. A mysterious alien from the Simurian race, Maru exhibits an aura of invincibility and charisma reminiscent of Gojo, earning him the nickname “the next Gojo Satoru” from excited fans.
Maru’s Powers Rival Gojo’s Legendary Techniques
Gojo Satoru has long been considered the pinnacle of power in the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise, mastering the Six Eyes and Limitless Cursed Techniques. Yet, with the arrival of Modulo, that title is now under scrutiny.
Chapters 6 and 7 introduce Maru’s mysterious third eye, a source of immense cursed energy that activates during combat and throws even experienced sorcerers into disarray. His cursed technique still unnamed can distort natural laws, giving him a definitive edge in battle.
In a notable fight against Takeda, Maru’s power overwhelmed his opponent with psychological chaos and untraceable movements. Takeda, a seasoned sorcerer, admitted Maru’s abilities were unlike anything he had ever encountered. The implication? Maru may already be beyond the scope of a typical Grade 1 sorcerer, inching toward Special Grade status.
A Potential Successor or Rival?
What sets Maru apart isn’t just raw strength. His alien origin adds a layer of unpredictability, while his calm demeanor and hope for coexistence with humanity position him as a potential peacemaker or devastating force.
Some fans have even speculated that Maru could one day face off against major characters like Yuji Itadori or even Ryomen Sukuna. Others believe his true purpose might be to unite conflicting factions, offering a new path forward in the cursed world.
While it remains to be seen how Maru’s full potential will unfold, one thing is clear: Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has raised the bar, and Gojo Satoru may finally have a rival worthy of his legend.
