This article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen and Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.
Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the biggest shonen manga of all time now, having blown many other series out of the water with its insane sales and high popularity. With JJK being mostly targeted towards young boys, the series never really focused on romance, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any. In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, Gege confirms a popular ship is canon, and that is Yuta and Maki, two legendary sorcerers who ended up getting married after the events of Shinjuku Showdown and starting a family together within the Gojo Clan.
Jujutsu Kaisen Sequel Has Officially Set Up Tragic Main Character Deaths
JJK Modulo just started, but Gege has already set up the deaths of his main characters.
Gege is surely going to feature more canon couples in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, and one of them could be Yuji and Ozawa, a couple that was heavily hinted at.
Maki and Yuta Are Canon in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
- Gege Had Hinted At It During JJK’s One Shot
- Maki and Yuta Had Children and Grandchildren Together
Romance has never been really central in Jujutsu Kaisen. After all, a lot is always happening in the series, and there is rarely time to have characters interact with each other. However, with the big battle against Sukuna over, Gege has officially decided to drive the romance plot forward for some characters. At this moment, the only canon couple confirmed by Gege in Jujutsu Kaisen is YutaMaki. In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, JJK’s sequel, Gege confirmed that Yuta and Maki are indeed a couple. Yuta became the clan leader of the Gojo clan and married Maki. Then, they had at least one kid and two grandkids. These two grandkids, Yuka and Tsurugi, are the new protagonists.
Say Hello To Jujutsu Kaisen's New Gojo Satoru
Gojo died in JJK, but Gege just created a new Gojo in Modulo.
This relationship was hinted at far before Modulo started, as Yuta was confirmed to have grandkids during JJK’s one-shot. While his wife wasn’t confirmed back then, it was quite obvious due to the physical similarities between Tsurugi and Maki.
What Other Jujutsu Kaisen Couples Will Become Canon?
Yuji and Ozawa Are a Very Likely Couple
Gege confirming that Yuta and Maki were a couple is definitely great, but fans are eager to see who else ended up as a couple in Jujutsu Kaisen. The only other couple that has any kind of basis in JJK would be Yuji and Ozawa. In the JJK one-shot that dropped after the end of the manga, Gege showcased the two of them reuniting, and it was clear that the two of them were heading towards a relationship.
Whether that happened or not remains to be seen, but Gege is bound to shed light on what happened to Yuji after the conclusion of the story in JJK Modulo.
