Yesterday, the new episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 aired. While fans are still grappling with the emotional aftermath of Kento Nanami’s recent demise, they are also faced with the heartbreaking farewell of Nobara Kugisaki. This painful moment has left viewers struggling to process their feelings.
Nonetheless, Nobara’s departure is set to be one of the most memorable highlights of Jujutsu Kaisen. For those who have read the manga, the unfortunate news was already known, but witnessing it again in the anime still evokes a profound sense of sorrow.
According to the latest developments in episode 19 of the anime, Kento Nanami’s warning emphasized that only a Grade 1 sorcerer could contend with Mahito in battle, as Nobara charged into the fray against this formidable opponent. After an initial attack, Mahito’s copy was destroyed simultaneously with Yuji Itadori’s copy.
In a tense moment in the train station, as Mahito’s copy lunged toward Yuji and was instantly killed, Mahito exploited Nobara’s distraction to approach her.
In a precarious situation, Nobara began to see her life flash before her eyes. She reminisced about her hometown and her two friends, Saori and Fumi. During this reflection, she realized that she had formed strong bonds with many people. Nobara apologized to Fumi for not being able to preserve their memories and for not being able to meet again in the future.
She turned to Yuji and expressed her wish that her life would not end here. Mahito had used his cursed technique to manipulate Nobara’s appearance, leading to a devastating loss of her identity while Yuji could do nothing but watch.
In the original manga, there is still no clear indication of what has happened to Nobara Kugisaki. This means that it remains uncertain whether she has died or will somehow survive.
Some fans believe that this is one of the biggest mysteries within the series, and it is certain that the author Gege Akutami will utilize this cliffhanger at some point in the future.
Now, the name Nobara Kugisaki has quickly become a trending topic on social media, just moments after the latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 concluded:
– I am really pleased with how Nobara’s final moments were portrayed; at least, that aligns with my opinion. Overall, it was a fantastic episode.
– It’s disappointing that Nobara’s character may never have the chance to meet again, especially considering how deeply her demise affects me.
– To me, Nobara’s techniques have always been the most outstanding in Jujutsu Kaisen. I certainly don’t understand the author’s intentions with this development.
– Nobara should not have to endure such hardships. Gege, you should definitely bring her back if you don’t want to upset us.
– Whatever happens next, if Nobara asks Megumi not to inform Yuji about her survival, it’s because Yuji doesn’t know that she has sacrificed herself for him.
– Please note that it is evident Nobara has inflicted considerable damage on Mahito, and I even find it hard to see her as my natural enemy.
