Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 16 ended on a cliffhanger, and while fans are awaiting the new chapter with bated breath, we have some unexpected news. The holiday season is here, so how can we expect Shonen Jump Magazine not to take a break? Readers will have to wait a bit longer: JJK Modulo Chapter 17, scheduled for release this weekend, has been pushed back to a new date.
What Is the New Release Date for JJK Modulo Chapter 17?
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17, which was once anticipated to be released on the final weekend of 2025, will formally debut on Viz Media and Manga Plus on January 4, 2026. For the first time, fans won’t be able to watch what occurs in the plot on a typical day. Fans’ hopes and anticipation for the upcoming chapter were raised by the suspenseful cliffhanger at the end of the seventeenth chapter.
Fans can easily take short breaks from any anime, particularly during the holiday season. This time is different, as the spin-off series has taken a pause after delivering one of the most intense cliffhangers to yet. The sixteenth chapter’s highlights were Mahoraga vs. Dabura and Tsurugi vs. Maru, and fans would like to witness the outcome of each battle.
The JJK Modulo Chapter 17 delay is affecting readers even more, especially those who are fully invested in the spin-off. Many fans who believed Modulo didn’t match the level of Jujutsu Kaisen have finally begun to see its true potential, with Chapter 16 showing it picking up pace and a noticeable increase in stakes.
Now, even though the next chapter will arrive a bit late, fans can use the time to craft their own theories on whether Dabura could end the ritual and save Yuka, or how Maru and Tsurugi’s fight will unfold.
