Recently, the fandom of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is excited as we have gotten to witness an anime promotional video that managed to capture the attention. It is so well-made that this move has once again proved why this franchise continues to dominate in the modern shonen genre. The video was part of the final manga volume released on May 1. Additionally, this promotional video is not just part of a celebration, but it feels more like a statement by the creator.
Even if it did not have a long runtime, the video managed to capture a powerful peek of what could happen in the near future in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. This new PV has been directed by Shun Miyakawa, and the animation is handled by none other than MAPPA Studio. Fans are over the top to see this animation studio working on this project because they believe that only MAPPA can flawlessly work on anything created by Gege Akutami.
The trailer itself is more than just an advertisement for the manga because now fans really want to watch Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo as an animated series. One major highlight of this spin-off manga is how it is set 68 years after the Culling Games had taken place. Gege Akutami managed to deliver a sequel that reimagined the future of the juutsu society, which was more than nostalgia bait.
This promotional video also managed to reflect the beauty of this story. It does not have the usually cruise-heavy streets we have seen in the original story. We have new threats known as the Simurians, who are an alien race that is very capable of wielding a power that is incredibly similar to the cursed energy fans know of.
This concept alone had initially caught the attention of the manga readers, and now, looking at it being animated in the trailer makes fans have a refreshing feeling. Overall, the video was only 30 seconds long, but the visuals are something fans will talk about for a long time. MAPPA Studio is known to be top in the industry, and this particular PV is seen as proof.
Talking about the animation, it was incredibly fluid with dramatic lighting and dynamic camera moments. Everything came together in a very tight manner that ended up creating a sense that the story is much bigger than the short runtime. What truly ended up standing out about this Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo PV is how it captured its emotion.
A teaser for something bigger?
While the PV is technically a promotional video for the manga’s final volume, it inevitably raises one big question: Will Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo get a full anime adaptation? For now, there is no official confirmation. Although looking at the effort put into this short trailer feels more than just a simple promotion.
Because it was worked on by a high-profile staff, polished animation, and strong storytelling hints all point toward the possibility of future plans. However, the main series is still currently adapting major arcs, so for Modulo to happen, it might take years. Even so, this Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo PV acts as a compelling proof of concept, showing that the story can work beautifully in animated form.
The PV is a perfect send-off for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo
In the end, the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo PV managed to capture the attention of fans as it was intended to do. It celebrates the end of this spin-off series while also teasing a potential for the future of this franchise, which has left fans wanting more.
Interestingly, in a matter of a few seconds, because of MAPPA Studio’s team, the video managed to capture the essence of this show. If this trailer was any indication of the future of this franchise, we get one clear message that the future of Jujutsu Kaisen is far from being over. In fact, it might just be entering its most ambitious phase yet.
