Summary
Jujutsu Kaisenis one of the best ongoing anime. It has an exceptional story, along with a great cast of characters. After its initial season, there was a great deal of hype surrounding the subsequent one. The second season of the anime isadapting the Shibuya arc, which many consider to be among the most well-written anime arcs.
The arc has many notable moments, which range from epic fights to harrowing deaths. Fans of the series are already aware of the fact that no one’s safety is guaranteed. But none of them expected that Kuchisaki Nobara would be one of the many to die inJujutsu Kaisen’sShibuya arc.
The Loss of a Promising Talent
Nobara was among the main characters inJujutsu Kaisen. She was introduced very early on in the story, and she made a strong first impression on the viewers. Nobara had moxie, which made her stand out from the rest of the female characters in the story. She knew when to be serious and when to switch to humor. This made her an incredibly entertaining character. Aside from her solid personality, Nobara was also a great fighter.
She took part in many dangerous missions, but the one where she had to fight the Cursed Womb Death Paintings stood out the most. She teamedup with Itadori Yujiand took down Choso and Eso in what was a breathtaking battle. Nobara and Yuji had to toil a lot to beat their enemies. Nobara, in particular, went as far as inflicting pain on herself to gain an edge in the fight.
Nobara’s Abilities
Nobara was a Grade 3 sorcerer, but her abilities were considerably better than those of a sorcerer in the same grade. Initially, Nobara’s physical abilities were lacking, and she was unable to fight for long periods of time. However, this changed after Maki and Panda trained her. The rigorous practice increased Nobara’s stamina, strength, and endurance. The improvement in her overall physical abilities helped in the Goodwill Event against Momo.
Aside from her ability to fight, Nobara was also extremely clever. In situations where most people would have had a breakdown, Nobara managed to stay calm and collected. When she and Yuji were poisoned by the Death Painting, it was Nobara who managed to use the situation to her advantage and turn the tide of the battle in their favor. She was fearless, as evidenced by her willingness to stabherself with her nails.
How Nobara Died
During the Shibuya arc, Nobara suffered many injuries at the hands of Shigemo. She was dominated by her opponent and would have been killed if it were not for Nanami’s timely intervention. Nobara then encountered Mahito’s clone, who thought he could take advantage of her naivety. But Nobara showed him the cost of underestimating her. She ruthlessly beat him, and the clone realized that he was not going to win. So, he decided to run back toward the station.
Nobara foolishly decided to give chase, but she wasn’t prepared for what was to come. At the same time, the real Mahito also started running toward his clone. They changed their places, but Nobara was unaware of it. This allowed Mahito to touch her and use his ability. Nobara realized that her life was at an end, and she couldn’t do anything about it.Before dying, she toldYuji to inform everyone that things weren’t that bad.
What This Means For The Story
Nobara’s death has left a sour taste in the mouths of many fans, which is understandable considering how loved she was. Nobara’s passing has created a massive hole that needs to be filled at all costs. The other female characters in the story are not on Nobara’s level, and neither do they have the same effect on the audience. Theobvious choice is Maki, but she is a senior and won’t be as good of a fit as Nobara. The other female characters have not been as significant, so they might not become one of the main characters in the story.
Clearly, Nobara is going to be a huge miss. Some fans will be hoping that she somehow makes a comeback later in the series. There are still many sorcerers in the series who have yet to make their debut. It is possible that one of them may have the power to heal Nobara, so she can become whole again. However, it all depends on whether the author has any plans for Nobara and wants her to play an important role in the story. If not, Gege Akutami could introduce new characters in the story, and they could fill the void created by Nobara.
