On April 30, 2026, Shonen Jump released a 31-second promotional video to celebrate volume 3 of the spin-off manga Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, released on May 1 in Japan. Created by MAPPA, the clip shows the alien twins Maru and Cross, the diabolical Dabura, and the descendants of Maki Zenin and Yuta Okkotsu: Tsurugi and Yuka. There is no confirmation of an animated series, but the material generates expectations among fans.
MAPPA and the spin-off animation 🎬
MAPPA used its main studio to produce this 31-second preview, applying digital animation techniques similar to those of the main series. The video focuses on combat sequences between Maru and Cross against Dabura, with a visual style that maintains the dark aesthetic of the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. The decision to release this material without announcing a series suggests that the studio is testing public reception before committing to a full project. Volume 3 of the manga includes chapters that expand the story of Tsurugi and Yuka.
The preview that raises more questions than answers 🤔
MAPPA gives us 31 seconds of footage and then says: thanks, come back soon. The promotional video is so brief that it barely gives you time to identify the characters before it ends. It's like when your friend shows you a picture of their pet but pulls it away quickly and you only see a blurry smudge. At least we know the alien twins exist and that Dabura is still as evil as ever. For more details, we'll have to wait for volume 3 or for someone to upload the video in slow motion.
