Since Nobara Kugisaki got her eye injured by Mahito during the Shibuya Incident, fans are speculating if she’ll make a comeback in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. The show hinted that she might be on the brink of death, but it didn’t confirm whether she survived or not.
This uncertainty has left fans puzzled about what’s next for her character.
In the Shibuya Incident Arc, Nobara was up against Mahito’s clone. The clone realized Nobara’s strength and switched with another version of itself, allowing Mahito to land a heavy blow on Nobara. This led fans to believe that she might have met her end.
Nobara Kugisaki’s Future in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
Nobara Kugisaki’s presence won’t grace Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, given her absence from the manga following the Shibuya Incident Arc.
When Mahito inflicted harm upon her, Arata Nitta swiftly intervened to tend to her wounds. Employing his unique technique on her injuries, there emerged a glimmer of hope for her survival, albeit faint.
Despite this, Arata advised Yuji Itadori not to cling too tightly to optimism, as Nobara’s prospects for recovery remained bleak. This pivotal moment unfolded within the pages of chapter 128, with the manga having since progressed well beyond 250 chapters without any sign of Nobara’s return.
Given MAPPA’s steadfast commitment to the manga’s narrative in their anime adaptation, the likelihood of Nobara’s reappearance in season 3 seems slim.
While there’s a slight chance that MAPPA could incorporate original anime scenes featuring Nobara in flashback sequences, there’s presently no substantiated evidence to support this notion. Until any official announcements or hints materialize, such speculation remains unsubstantiated.
