Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 5 spoilers have finally arrived, and this week’s installment is more intense than ever.
Although the translations are still rough and some dialogue is missing, the early leaks already reveal brutal combat, disturbing philosophy, and a shocking cliffhanger that leaves fans desperate for the official release.
From Disguise to Duel: The Old Man Revealed – Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 5
The chapter picks up right after Chapter 4. The seemingly innocent child unmasks himself as an aged curse user. His skeletal face, reminiscent of Red Skull, symbolizes decay and corruption.
In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 5, the old man summons a grotesque Shikigami made of threads and needles, referred to in translations as “Maternal Spirit Intimidation.” The imagery is disturbing—looming shadows, piercing needles, and an aura of sickening control.
Tsurugi proves his status as a Grade 1 sorcerer with sharp swordsmanship. However, the veteran curse user’s experience gives him an edge; threads entangle Tsurugi’s ankle, nearly landing a fatal blow.
A Clash of Ideals: Hope vs Nihilism
Between blows, the battle turns philosophical. Tsurugi questions why the old man never used his powers for good. The response is chilling: “Sentimentality always rots into malice.”
This dialogue highlights the core conflict—human resilience and hope against inevitable decay. Modulo once again proves it is not just about flashy battles but also about deeper reflections on human nature.
Flashbacks and Lost Innocence – Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 5
A haunting flashback shows a child walking with his father under cherry blossoms, weighed down by school and societal expectations. The old man recalls his childhood with fondness, wishing he could stay a student forever.
His descent into monstrosity suggests his current form is not only driven by malice but also a tragic clinging to a corrupted past. Like many of Gege Akutami’s antagonists, he is both villain and victim.
Tsurugi’s Trump Card: Simple Domain
The tide shifts when Tsurugi unveils his Simple Domain, expanding in honeycomb patterns. Unlike Kusakabe’s defensive use, Tsurugi fuses the technique with swordplay, automatically deflecting attacks while striking back.
Yuuka then joins the fray with her Savage Claw Fist, shaking the battlefield with raw force. But just when hope rises, the real horror begins.
The True Terror: Puppets of Human Skin in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 5
Yuuka is suddenly impaled by a needle, followed by Tsurugi suffering multiple hits. The old man reveals his true technique—using human skin as material to create puppets stuffed with guardian spirits.
These grotesque shells allow him to deceive enemies and hide his real body. The concept is horrifying yet perfectly suited to the cursed world of Jujutsu Kaisen—life twisted into weapons of decay.
Cliffhanger: Maru Awakens
Just as Tsurugi and Yuuka near defeat, the battlefield shifts. Weapons, dirt, and debris begin to levitate. The source? Maru—still unconscious, but with the third eye on his forehead fully open.
This raises countless questions: Is this an unconscious awakening? A link to his twin Cross? Or the release of a hidden curse? Whatever the truth, Maru is now set as the key to the arc’s next stage.

Kid: Mama! Mama!!
Mother (tired, annoyed): Yes, yes. Just a moment, sorry.
Kid (crying): Mama—! Come here, Mama!!
Mother (snapping): Shut up!!
Mother (thinking to herself): I told them it was a work call… What are you doing…?
Kid (tearing up, lost): I don’t know…
[Scene shifts to a sorcerer collapsing with thud SFX]

Old man (charging in): Damn it! My prediction was off!!
Tsurugi (thinking, sweating): Tch…!! I wanted to quickly check Maru’s condition…
Narration Tsurugi (lower panel): Looking at it now… everything so far has gone just as I predicted. The only thing that was unexpected…

Tsurugi: Those arms… Did you ever once think of using them for the sake of others?
Old man: Such naïve words… are nothing but sentimentality. If you live long enough… that sentiment rots into malice.
Tsurugi: No matter how much you try, people will always kill each other. That’s the fate that can never be avoided.
Old man: But strangely enough… people still keep trying again and again. There are even fools who cling to empty ideals.

Flashback narration: Hand in hand, walking under the cherry blossoms. The numbers given to me at enrollment, used to identify myself. The outside world that defined me through grades and evaluations.
Old man: I loved being an elementary school student. I always wanted to stay as a child forever.
(SFX: ミキミキ… / Miki miki… — creaking, twisting sound)
⸻
Tsurugi: Nice. The more you talk like that… the easier it’ll be to cut you down.
Tsurugi: …That’s what I asked you earlier. But strangely enough… people keep regaining their awareness, and try again and again… That’s why—

The origin of this incident… was the rampage of an elderly jujutsu sorcerer suffering from cognitive decline…!?
Old man (walking away, recalling): I really loved being an elementary school kid. I always wanted to stay as a little kid forever.
Old man: What people can’t notice… is the difference between what they ‘can do’ and what they actually can’t.
Tsurugi: Now… …I understand your feelings.
Old man: Heh. Then let me teach you… …the trick to keeping your sanity intact.

“Simple Domain” “Ma-ai!!”
Old man: This brat… he knows simple domain? By replacing physical technique with cursed energy, he’s gained the ability to sense distance— a natural-born physical gift.
To apply cursed energy, and on top of that knows simple domain… Not bad at all.
SFX: ガチン ガチン (Gachin, gachin) — clash! clash!

Old man: Only within a Simple Domain can this technique be performed… Automatic counterattacks to anything that enters!!
Old man: I’ll do it!!
Tsurugi: Darker than night, blacker than darkness itself… Offer up that blemish as a sacrifice—

Mino: Did he get trapped—?!
Tsurugi-kun!!”
Good—!!
Tsurugi, keep pushing him until he’s neutralized!!
Go all out!!
Old man: Checkmate!!
Tsurugi: Too bad… I’ve been serious this whole time!!
Fang Twist!!

Yuuka: Need a hand?
Tsurugi: Tch. What kind of job is it if you’ve gotta step in and help? This is just another training ground drama.
Yuuka: Keep your eyes on the thread and the needle. Once you’ve seen through his transformations, there aren’t many variations. But be careful once you lose sight of them.
Old man: Heh—
Yuuka: His shikigami body doesn’t move much, but the little ones will get in your way.
Tsurugi: …Got it.
SFX:
ボウッ (Bō) — whoosh / burst of movement
ガチャッ (Gacha) — metallic click / weapon ready

Old man: “I see… You’re not the type to add up damage little by little. You’re the kind that piles it all on in one big blow!!”
Yuuka: Haa… haa…
Tsurugi: Yuuka?
Old man: Are you out of breath?
Page 17
SFX: ドチュ (Dochu – stab / thrust sound)
Tsurugi: Yuuka!!
SFX: ドサッ (Dosa – thud, body hitting the ground)
Old man: Heh… You underestimated my transformation skill.
Page 18
Old man: The essence of transformation… …is to use a human’s skin as material.
If you stuff a guardian spirit’s body inside, it can be used in all sorts of ways.
Tsurugi: …Haa. How boring.
Tsurugi: In the end, maybe there really is something to be gained… …through killing each other.
Old man: I’m still short a few counters for my abacus set. Guess I’ll have to find some more before heading home.

Old man: …Maru? …? What… is that?
SFX: パチ… (pachi… — faint flicker / spark of an eye opening)
Tsurugi: “…!!”
Editor Note: What on earth happened to Maru──!?
