Nobara Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2

Is Nobara Dead in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Anything is possible right?

Nobara Kugisaki is one of the core cast members of Jujutsu Kaisen, wielding her Cursed Tools, sheā€™s no slouch in battle and one of the most interesting of the animeā€™s cast. Sadly, in Season 2 we see her dealt a fatal blow, but is Nobara really dead?

Yes, it does appear that Nobara is dead in Jujutsu Kaisen. During the Shibuya Incident Arc she had her face transfigured and exploded by Mahito, collapsing to the ground and never getting up.

While we see this scene in Season 2 of the anime it is never confirmed that she is truly dead so fans have remained optimistic for a long time that sheā€™s just recovering somewhere at the Jujutsu Sorcerer academy, but sadly that seems unlikely.

Is Nobara Kugisaki Dead in the Jujutsu Kaisen Manga?

In the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, Nobara is alive, and survived the Shibuya Incident, only losing an eye from Mahito’s attack. Confirmation of this went viral on social media as spoilers arrived ahead of Chapter 267.

This is the outcome fans have been begging for since her last appearance in the manga many years ago. All signs pointed to her being dead, but at the last moment it seems Gege changed his mind, and she has received her time to shine as the series concludes its final Arc.

There are still a few chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen left so it is possible that she will not survive the whole story, but the main thing fans need to know is that she did not die in Shibuya, and is confirmed to be alive as of Chapter 267.

Jujutsu Kaisenā€™s anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll white the manga can be read on the Viz Media website. The series’ manga run is expected to conclude in late September, 2024.
