Decades after the climactic events of the Shinjuku Showdown arc in Jujutsu Kaisen, one of the most intriguing revelations unfolds over 60 years into the future. In 2035, Panda's cursed corpse was placed in a Gojo family storage facility, an act of preservation that foreshadowed its discovery decades later.
By this time, Yuta Okkotsu had become the acting head of the Gojo family. Although the epilogue does not directly mention Yuta's life after the arc, subtle details confirm a significant development that Yuta and Maki Zenin got married and started a family.
In 2080, Yuta's grandchildren, a boy and a girl, stumbled upon Panda's storage. The doll-like cursed corpse still exhibited faint signs of life, occasionally moving, which fascinated the two. Their spirited personalities were strikingly opposite to Yuta's reserved nature but carried an unmistakable resemblance to both Yuta and Maki.
Their features and demeanor provided fans with a strong, albeit implicit, confirmation of their lineage. These grandchildren brought a lively and entertaining dynamic to the epilogue, offering a glimpse into the continuation of the Jujutsu world through the Okkotsu family.
