After Yuka entered the battlefield to fight against Dabura, fans are waiting for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 16. Currently, it is one of the most anticipated installments because now fans are invested in knowing how this fight is going to unfold. Moreover, we still do not know what the fate of Cross is. Moreover, we also knew that Tsuguri and Maru were about to fight, and Gege had not addressed this either.
Right now, there are many different subplots that fans want to see being covered in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 16. The fandom has been talking about how the creator has reintroduced Mahoraga in this spin-off, and no one expected him to make a comeback. It is like he is a desperate last stand against Dabura, and fans are actively bracing themselves for a chapter that could dramatically alter the trajectory of the Modulo storyline.
According to official sources, it is confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 16 is going to be released on December 21, 2025. Fans around the world can read this series digitally on platforms like Manga Plus and Viz Media. With how the story is set up, it seems like Chapter 16 promises intense combat, emotional fallout, and potentially game-changing consequences.
Recap of Chapter 15

This chapter showed us that Yuka's health has deteriorated, and her vision is pretty much gone. While going towards the battle site, she has a flashback where she remembers her time with her brother Tusugri. That is when we see a heartbreaking moment where Yuka ends up mistaking Mino for Tsuguri, and looking at her state, he can feel nothing but sorry.
The story delivered its biggest twist yet when she entered the fight: the summoning of Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga. Not only did this confirm Yuka’s connection to the Ten Shadows Technique, but it also reframed the Dabura fight as something far more catastrophic than a simple duel.
Mahoraga’s arrival instantly escalated the conflict from a personal sacrifice to a battle with potentially world-altering consequences. The final panels showed Mahoraga entering combat against Dabura, setting the stage for an adaptation-based clash unlike anything Modulo has shown so far.
What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 16? (Speculative)

Based on fan theories and speculations, there are a few ways Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 16 might go:
- Fight against Dabura versus Mahoraga: Without cutting away from the battlefield. Dabura is widely believed to maintain the upper hand for much of the chapter, reinforcing his status as a long-term threat rather than a one-off antagonist.
- Yuka reaches her limits: One of the most heartbreaking aspects expected in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 16 is the toll this battle takes on Yuka herself. Yuka’s cursed energy is likely to diminish rapidly, potentially causing her to lose control of the summon. If this happens, it would create a powerful emotional contrast: Mahoraga, designed only for destruction, chooses to return to Yuka instead of finishing Dabura.
- Unresolved plot might get addressed: While some fans believe this fight could end decisively in Chapter 16, others argue that Dabura losing here would prematurely end the story’s momentum. With unresolved plot threads involving Ui Ui, Mahito, and the growing ideological split between humans and Simurians, it’s more likely that Chapter 16 serves as a turning point rather than a conclusion.
In the end, one thing is certain that Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 16 will be interesting as Gege has been delivering some of his best works. It will deliver spectacle, heartbreak, and debate in equal measure, and it is exactly what fans have come to expect from this brutal and unpredictable series.
