This article contains spoilers from the JJK and JJK Modulo manga.
Without a doubt, Yuta and Maki had a solid run in Jujutsu Kaisen from the moment they entered Jujutsu High, joined Gojo Satoru’s cause, and became established sorcerers. Their tandem is one of the best, which makes it difficult to deny their obvious chemistry. While Jujutsu Kaisen robbed Maki and Yuta of an on-screen romantic payoff, surviving Sukuna’s reign of terror together made up for it.
Not to mention, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, which has been released as a direct sequel to JJK, has surprisingly confirmed Yuta and Maki’s romantic relationship, much to the delight of the YutaMaki shippers. Unfortunately, the author of JJK pulled a bitter twist by killing Yuta and Maki in the first chapter, almost as if he was daring readers to keep believing in their happy ending.
Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo Sequel: Everything You Need To Know
Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo is coming out this week, and fans are hyped.
Yuta and Maki End Up Together in JJK
Yuta and Maki Grow Old Together
- Yuta and Maki fell in love.
- Yuta and Maki built a family.
For many fans, seeing Yuta and Maki as an official couple in Jujutsu Kaisen is a dream come true. After all, they barely survived the fight against Sukuna, especially Yuta, who unethically used Gojo Satoru’s deceased body with Kenjaku’s forbidden technique to keep on fighting. It’s a miracle that Yuta and Maki survived, so becoming a couple at the end of JJK is a huge treat for the fans.
Moving forward, JJK Modulo Chapter 1 has revealed that Yuta and Maki got married off-screen, and they eventually grew old together. Despite their differences, with Maki being the hot-headed one and Yuta being the cool one, their romance blossomed as expected by the fans. If only this time of their lives were shown in an extra or bonus chapter, fans may have been able to see how their romance unfolded between JJK and JJK Modulo.
I won’t let anyone else suffer because of me.—Yuta Okkotsu
It's never too late for Gege to reveal key details about Yuta and Maki’s family life. So far, we’re certain that Yuta and Maki built a family like any ordinary married couple does and had grandchildren, namely Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu, but details surrounding their child, Iori Okkotsu, are still limited. Of course, fans are expecting Gege to drop crucial information later on, which would shed more light on Yuta and Maki’s relationship before the events of JJK Modulo.
Yuta and Maki Died in JJK Modulo
They Were Survived by Yuka and Tsurugi
- Yuta and Maki's bodies declined over time.
- Yuta and Maki are now in heaven.
In just one chapter of JJK Modulo, Gege Akutami made fans happy and sad with the ending of Yuta and Maki’s story. Things happened so fast that fans had to accept their marriage and deaths at the same time without prior notice. Maki was the first one to go, living long enough to die of old age. Yuta later followed as his strength weakened after Maki’s passing.
In other words, Yuta and Maki had a bittersweet ending. While they lived their married life to the fullest, death still separated them in the end. Worse, JJK Modulo never showed any core memory of their marriage, from the time they agreed to be together to the moment Yuta mourned Maki’s death. The details are still lacking, but that’s to be expected considering JJK Modulo will only be a short manga series.
I plan to become a grade one sorcerer to stick it to my family and crush them from within.—Maki Zenin
Meanwhile, Yuta and Maki’s grandchildren, Yuka and Tsurugi, are making waves in the Jujutsu world as their perfect successors. While Yuka is the current user of the Ten Shadows technique of the Zenin family, Tsurugi, as per Yuta’s request, has Rika by his side. With these power upgrades, Yuka and Tsurugi have become two of the strongest next-generation sorcerers in JJK Modulo.
Yuta and Maki Are Parents to Iori Okkotsu
Iori Okkotsu Is Still Missing
- Yuta and Maki have a son.
- Iori Okkotsu's whereabouts are unknown.
Iori Okkotsu is the latest addition to the Gojo and Zenin Clans, being the son of Yuta and Maki in JJK Modulo. As of writing, not much is known about Iori, despite his crucial role as Yuka and Tsurugi’s father.
Just like Yuji Itadori, Iori’s whereabouts are unknown, and it’s unsure what’s keeping him away from the battlefield even after his children are left with no choice but to fight Dabura and Maru.
In addition, Iori’s relationship with Yuta and Maki is still shrouded in mystery. What we know is that Iori resembles Yuta, but he lacks the power level to justify the comparison beyond appearance.
Yuta and Maki Are Returning in JJK Season 3
While JJK Modulo is ongoing, fans can look forward to seeing Yuta and Maki in action in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. The third season is expected to raise the stakes higher, with Kenjaku orchestrating the Culling Game, where new and ancient sorcerers can fight to the death as much as they like.
JJK Season 3 is shaping up to be the best season for Yuta and Maki, as they participate in intense fights with the most potential to break the internet. Hence, fans should tune in once JJK Season 3 begins, as every episode guarantees a visual spectacle.
