Following the stunning events of the previous installment, fans of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo have been eagerly awaiting the publication of Chapter 18. The next action-packed chapter of the manga has been postponed, so it appears that everyone will have to wait a little longer. The good news is that JJK Modulo Chapter 18 has a fixed publication date, which we have disclosed below.
What Is the New Release Date of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18?
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18 will be released on January 18, 2026, at 11:00 am ET. While some of you might think this is a sudden delay, it is basically a scheduled one-week break the magazine takes during the Christmas and New Year period.
What Happened in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17?
We witnessed the fierce conflict between Mahoraga and Dabura in the final few chapters. Indeed, it is undoubtedly one of Modulo’s greatest continuing conflicts. But it’s time for Tsurugi and Maru’s clash to be highlighted. In Chapter 17, we witness Maru winning the battle against Tsurugi. Additionally, neither Maru nor Tsurugi have been holding back, so don’t consider it a friendly conflict. Maru’s enormous power almost destroys Tsurugi in Chapter 17.
Almost on the brink of defeat, Tsurugi thinks about how his father disappeared after the birth of Yuka. Additionally, this brief flashback shows another appearance of Yuji, who says something like “That doesn’t concern me” to Tsurugi’s father.
However, Yuji’s conversation wasn’t the main topic of discussion in JJK Modulo Chapter 17; rather, it was something that occurred immediately thereafter. It seems that Tsurugi saw a shadow appear in front of him when he was buried beneath the rock pile. Indeed, it was none other than the Queen of Curses, Rika. Tsurugi was wearing Yuta’s ring when Rika came, and it appeared that Rika disliked being called. But since she took Tsurugi’s call, the boy survived.
Rika offered to help Tsurugi through a Binding Vow, and once Tsurugi said, “I accept,” we saw one of the strongest Jujutsu Kaisen characters taking form. Tsurugi’s immense physical strength merged with Rika’s deadly Cursed energy. And in this new form, Tsurugi sent Maru flying with a single punch.
