Jujutsu Kaisen Drops Heartbreaking Update About Yuji Itadori's Love Life

This article contains spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga.

Jujutsu Kaisen fans rejoiced after news of Yuji Itadori returning to Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo made rounds online. After countless theories about Yuji Itadori’s status in the JJK sequel, his appearance confirmed that the beloved protagonist still has a crucial role to fulfill amidst the growing tension between the Simurians and modern-day Jujutsu Sorcerers in Japan.

However, Yuji Itadori’s inclusion in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has fueled speculation about his personal life. While the JJK sequel confirmed Maki Zenin and Yuta Okkotsu’s marriage, the series also confirmed one thing about Yuji Itadori’s love life. Unfortunately, Yuji Itadori remains single, leaving fans wondering if he will ever have time for romance while holding the immense responsibility of being the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer at present.

The ending of Jujutsu Kaisen left many fans curious about Yuji Itadori’s personal life, particularly whether he would end up with Nobara Kugisaki or Yuko Ozawa. These female characters were the two closest to Yuji, but Jujutsu Kaisen never showed any of them entering into a romantic relationship with Yuji. Now, in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, fans are still wondering what happened to Yuji’s love life, especially since the sequel has confirmed other characters’ relationships.

Unfortunately, as much as fans would like to see Yuji Itadori holding hands with either Nobara or Yuko, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo confirms that Yuji Itadori is alone, and his current location is still unknown. He appears to be single, with no hint of romantic relationships with anyone. Decades have passed since the original JJK series, and the relationships he had with girls have ended up as nothing more than friendships.

Most likely, the female characters who were linked to Yuji Itadori are now old or dead, forcing Yuji to carry on without them and keeping his personal relationships from evolving further. Besides, Yuji holds immense power, and that power might put any of his potential partners in danger, making it nearly impossible for him to have a normal romantic life. Still, if Yuta and Maki managed to stay together for years, Yuji might find a way to experience love.

At the beginning of Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji Itadori was very vocal about his type, and these early statements set the stage for fan debates about whether Nobara or Yuko fit his ideal girl type. According to Yuji, he is attracted to tall girls like Jennifer Lawrence, which Aoi Todo and Megumi Fushiguro found both amusing and baffling, especially after the latter was asked by Nobara Kugisaki about Yuji’s preferences.

Yuko Ozawa fits one of Yuji’s stated preferences, being tall and strong-willed, but it’s unclear whether Yuji has considered Yuko romantically. The only thing certain is that Yuji likes Yuko, but whether it’s romantic or not is still up for debate. On the other hand, Yuko has an obvious crush on Yuji, but she has never confessed to him, let alone taken any steps to act on her feelings.

With Yuji focused on dealing with Sukuna while Yuko does her own thing, there’s little to no chance for romance to develop, since both are preoccupied with their own battles and responsibilities. The epilogue, on the other hand, only showed Yuji and Yuko’s reunion, leaving their relationship firmly in the realm of friendship while teasing fans about what could happen in the future.

Yuji Itadori Could Still Find Love in JJK Modulo

Yuji Itadori Deserves a Happy Ending

Dead Or Alive: Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Has Finally Confirmed Yuji Itadori's Status

As shown in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, the current Yuji Itadori still looks youthful after 68 years with little signs of aging. He may have grown taller, but he’s not the old Yuji Itadori fans expected to see appear in the JJK sequel. Unfortunately, as stated, Yuji still walks the streets of Japan alone, as if he exists in his own world, detached from any kind of relationships, including romance.

Still, Jujutsu Kaisen fans are not losing hope that Yuji Itadori might one day find love or reconnect with someone special, even after decades of solitude. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo could explore his personal life further, giving fans a long-awaited resolution to his solitary status. After all, Yuji Itadori deserves to have a happy ending after everything he has been through, making any potential romantic subplot all the more meaningful.

Who knows—perhaps Gege Akutami will unveil a major plot twist in JJK Modulo, showing that Yuji Itadori has been married for years and even has a child, revealing a side of his life fans never anticipated. However, that seems very unlikely for now.
