Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has sparked much debate in the fandom as a so-called sequel to the original series' universe, raising questions about legacy characters like Toji Fushiguro. In its original Jujutsu Kaisen anime, inspired by the manga of Gege Akutami, a new system of modern sorcery was created, which is based on cursed energy, domains, and inherited techniques.

Toji Fushiguro turned out to be one of the strongest non-sorcerer fighters featured in the franchise because his Heavenly Restriction provided him with incredible physical powers at the cost of zero cursed power. Since the series became part of the online conversation, there has been an increasing number of questions about whether Toji features in this so-called follow-up.

Toji Fushiguro is not shown in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. No confirmed chapter, panel, or official content anywhere proves his appearance in the series. His involvement is reported and circulated based on the interpretations of fans and not canonized. According to the available information, Modulo does not have Toji in a living, resurrected, or summoned capacity.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo takes place in the year 2086, about a century after the main timeline of Jujutsu Kaisen. The story is said to be based on the descendants of the existing bloodlines, one of which is called Tsurugi Okkotsu. Tsurugi is alleged to have a Heavenly Restriction like Toji's: he is incredibly strong but does not produce cursed energy.

Nevertheless, it is worth noting that similarity in power structure does not coincide with the physical or spiritual backlash of Toji in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.

In the first series, Toji Fushiguro was killed in a fight with Satoru Gojo at the Hidden Inventory arc. Even after the Shibuya Incident, Ogami temporarily resurrected him through the seance method, but the resurrection was incomplete and temporary. His soul ultimately acted independently before his death was reaffirmed. Modulo has not introduced any ritual or mechanism that canonically restores Toji beyond that established event.

The association between Toji and Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo primarily arises from thematic parallels. Heavenly Restriction remains a rare but significant condition within the franchise’s power system.

Maki Zenin’s post-awakening state mirrored Toji’s physical dominance after the destruction of the Zenin clan. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo reportedly continues this motif through Tsurugi’s combat profile, but homage does not constitute character reappearance.


Toji Fushiguro and Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo

Within discussions of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, fans frequently describe Tsurugi Okkotsu as a “new Toji” due to shared traits. Both characters reportedly possess zero cursed energy yet demonstrate heightened sensory perception, superhuman reflexes, and advanced weapon proficiency.

This structural similarity has fueled speculation that Toji may return symbolically or spiritually. However, the series does not contain textual evidence of Toji’s direct involvement.

This lack is also supported by the timeline gap. Supposing that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is set in 2086, the original death of Toji, around 2006, would put him about 80 years before the beginning of the new story. Irrelevant to him, lacking a special mechanism of immortality or a reincarnation cycle, chronological continuity renders his appearance unlikely. The series seems to be organized according to generational advancement and not revival.

Also, Gege Akutami's storytelling patterns do not involve the repeated rediscovery of significant historical figures. The Shibuya Incident re-enactment was narratively contained and focused on emotional redemption rather than restitution. As discussed in the circulating summaries, the series focuses more on extraterrestrial antagonists and the extended evolution of jujutsu.

This thematic trend implies progressive growth rather than legacy revivals.

Notably, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has not yet been canonized as a sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen by either official serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump or a formal statement of Shueisha at the time it is being written. A lot of online content promoting is based on unofficial leaks, speculative discussion forums, and fan-provided summaries.

The series is a matter of online discussion and is not yet fully verified canon until verifiable publication data is obtained. As a result, the arguments as to Toji's involvement are not substantiated.


Finally, the appearance of Toji Fushiguro in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo cannot be found, according to all known and verifiable facts. Although thematic echoes via Heavenly restriction and generational reverberation might refer to his inheritance, there is no chapter or official resource that proves his physical, spiritual, or narrative reappearance.

The discussions on the series emphasize the lasting effects of the character of Toji, but fail to show his resurrection. The distinction between homage and canon presence remains vital for assessing the series' assertions.
