The initial dynamic between Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara is undoubtedly captivating. Fans have witnessed this trio interacting in the early episodes of the series. Eventually, they formed a strong bond during intense battles. Although initially, Yuji and Megumi did not get along well, over time they developed a deeper connection. Megumi began to place his trust in Yuji, and the feeling was mutual.
Similarly, Nobara was not very keen on getting to know Yuji at first, but eventually, she also started to appreciate his presence, leading to a beloved trio that shounen fans enjoy watching. By the middle of season 1, viewers could clearly see they had become close friends. They trained together, fought together, and supported each other in battles.
This trio of Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara has created a perfect anime group, and each character has received significant attention. However, as the story progresses, the focus gradually shifts towards Yuji. Being the main character, he naturally attracts more attention, although the narrative still involves the other characters. Meanwhile, the overall dynamics of this trio remain a fundamental source of conflict in the story.
Nobara’s Demise
Nobara had to face an incredibly harsh fate during the Shibuya incident, even though she was not heavily involved in the main events. While Nobara had her role to play, it was clear that a character like her needed to have a more prominent presence. The Shibuya incident was essentially her final battle.
Fortunately, by the end of her arc, she received a larger role, but few fans are aware that this would be her last appearance. Nobara faced Mahito in battle and was also up against a formidable opponent like Yuji. Tragically, she quickly became a victim of the unfolding narrative.
Since then, she has not appeared again, and Jujutsu Kaisen has not completed its story. The complete removal of a main character like Nobara erases all the emotional investment that fans had for her, as well as all the potential she brought to the story.
What’s worse is that Nobara could still be alive. Many fans would love to see her return, and it’s certain that they would be thrilled if she did. However, one must consider the reality that Jujutsu Kaisen seems to be approaching its conclusion. The author has confirmed that the series will end in 2024, implying that even if Nobara were to return, she would likely be outside the main narrative for over a year. There will be no role for her, nor any character development that she could showcase in the story.
Overall, Nobara’s journey appears to have come to an end, as the author has indicated that the narrative will conclude in 2024. In summary, she has become one of the most notable characters, transitioning into a somewhat ordinary character.
Megumi Fushiguro’s Role
While Megumi has received much more attention than Nobara, his story also has its own complexities. Megumi plays a crucial role during the Shibuya incident and later in the Culling Game. However, by the end of the arc, he is overtaken by Sukuna, and fans have seen little of him since.
It’s been quite some time since Megumi vanished from the storyline, and like Nobara, he might not play an active role even if he returns at the end of the series. Megumi is always recognized as a character with great potential, but here he seems to have little time to realize it. All of this indicates that his presence is mostly irrelevant to the information fans have known about him over the years.
In summary, the trio of Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara rarely act together, especially as the series progresses, leading to the realization that it’s becoming a less frequent occurrence. Looking back, this is a dynamic that the author may have failed to capitalize on.
