Since Nobara Kugisaki injured her eye by Mahito during the Shibuya Incident, fans are speculating whether she will return in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. The chapter suggests that she may be on the brink of death, but does not confirm whether she survived.
This uncertainty leaves fans confused as to what will happen next with her character.
During the Shibuya Incident Arc, Nobara was faced with Mahito’s clone. The clone recognized Nobara’s power and transformed into another version of itself, allowing Mahito to deal a heavy blow to Nobara. This leads fans to believe that she may have met her end.
Nobara Kugisaki’s future in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
Nobara Kugisaki’s presence would not fit into Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, due to her absence from the manga after the Shibuya Incident Arc.
When Mahito harmed her, Arata Nitta quickly intervened to tend to her wounds. Using his unique technique on her wound, a glimmer of hope arose for her survival, albeit faint.
Even so, Arata advises Yuji Itadori not to be too optimistic because Nobara’s recovery prospects are still very bleak. This pivotal moment takes place within the pages of chapter 128, since then the manga has progressed over 250 chapters without any indication that Nobara will return.
Given MAPPA’s steadfast commitment to the manga’s story in their anime adaptation, the chances of Nobara appearing again in season 3 seem slim.
While there is a slight possibility that MAPPA may incorporate original anime scenes featuring Nobara into the flashbacks, there is currently no solid evidence to support this notion. Until any official announcement or hint materializes, such speculations remain unfounded.
