After the events of the three arcs: Itadori’s Extermination Arc, Perfect Preparation Arc, and Culling Game Arc, fans are left with lingering hopes for the survival of Nobara in Jujutsu Kaisen. The prolonged situation has left many wondering if she is truly dead or if there is a chance for her return.
The fandom is divided on the matter, with some believing that Nobara is a main character and the author would not simply let her fate be sealed without a plan. Meanwhile, others argue that it might be too late for her to come back.
Currently, Jujutsu Kaisen is heading towards the conclusion of the Shinjuku Showdown Arc. In the battle against Sukuna, most of the powerful characters have already been taken down. It remains uncertain what the sorcerers will do next to counter Sukuna’s overwhelming strength.
If Nobara were to return now, the current situation would also be drastically different. She wouldn’t be strong enough to fight Sukuna, and if she tried, she would likely face a harsh reality. However, the author could still bring her back with significant impact, similar to how Todo made his comeback earlier in this arc.
One fan expressed: “I want her to return more because her situation hasn’t been resolved for a long time. If she dies or can’t fight back, it will just be a loss for us because we’ve already accepted the worst-case scenario regarding her condition.”
Yet, there are also opposing viewpoints. As one commenter noted: “At this point, bringing her back seems to hold little value. The battle phase has passed while the groundwork is being laid for the final showdown with Goyuta.”
“I genuinely believe that Nobara won’t return because she hasn’t been rated highly in terms of potential compared to Yuji or Megumi.” Another user commented.
It’s possible that Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 263 will reveal whether Nobara can come back or not. Therefore, stay tuned for the chapter release on June 30, 2024.
