Does Nobara Kugisaki’s Eye Injury in Jujutsu Kaisen Have an Explanation?

Gege Akutami’s popular manga series Jujutsu Kaisen is reaching its end, with only four chapters remaining. The most recent chapter, 267, has fans excited as one of the most anticipated characters, Nobara Kugisaki, finally makes her much-awaited comeback.

Fans have been eagerly anticipating updates on her condition, and the most recent chapter has finally provided answers. However, in chapter 267, Nobara’s return brings about an unexpected twist – she now sports an eyepatch over her left eye.

Fans have been intrigued by this, prompting them to ask the crucial question: Does Nobara Kugisaki suffer the loss of an eye? In this article, we will explore the explanation behind her left eye, her comeback in the series, and her potential involvement in the ultimate showdown against Sukuna.

Nobara’s Fate in Jujutsu Kaisen

Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen have been eagerly anticipating updates on Nobara Kugisaki’s condition following her confrontation with Mahito in the Shibuya Incident Arc. In that encounter, Mahito utilized his cursed technique, Idle Transfiguration, to touch her face and cause her head to explode.

As Nobara’s fate remained unconfirmed by mangaka Gege Akutami and she was noticeably absent from the narrative afterwards, fans were left to speculate about her situation.

Despite being featured alongside other deceased characters like Choso, Nanami, Junpei, and Yuji’s grandpa (with Gojo also present) in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 265, many fans were left worried that Nobara may have met the same fate at the hands of Mahito.

In a surprising turn of events, the mangaka brings Nobara back to life in chapter 267. However, her reappearance is accompanied by a significant change – she now sports an eyepatch over her left eye, leaving readers wondering if Nobara Kugisaki has lost her eye.

The mystery surrounding Nobara’s left eye has left fans eagerly anticipating an answer. This can be traced back to the moment when Mahito touched her face in Shibuya. His hand made contact with the top left side of her face, including her left eye. As a result of Mahito’s technique, her face exploded and her left eye was shown to have been blown off.

Despite losing her left eye to Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration, Nobara’s life was fortunately saved thanks to Arata Nitta’s quick intervention and technique. This allowed her to receive timely treatment for her injury.

Despite only appearing in the final stretch of the series, Jujutsu Kaisen fans are ecstatic to witness the return of their beloved character, Nobara Kugisaki. This inevitably sparks the question: Will Nobara join forces in the battle against Sukuna? The answer is a resounding yes.

Akutami sensei’s reintroduction of her during one of the most thrilling moments left fans feeling ecstatic. Her comeback evoked memories of her previous fight against Mahito, where she helped Yuji by employing her Resonance Cursed Technique on Mahito’s doppelganger.

In chapter 267, Principal Gakuganji and Utahime are revealed to have Sukuna’s last finger in a separate location from the main battlefield, where Yuji and the group are currently engaged in a battle against Sukuna. Nobara joins the fight against Sukuna at this location, less than half an hour after waking up, providing support to Yuji just as she did during their previous encounter with Mahito.

Despite not being physically present in the final showdown, Nobara’s influential cursed technique plays a vital role. She utilizes her Resonance to target Sukuna’s remaining finger, redirecting its impact towards his main body engaged in battle with Yuji.

This maneuver grants Yuji the crucial upper hand necessary to deliver the ultimate, conclusive strike against the King of Curses, as Nobara’s skill disables Sukuna’s ability to utilize his domain and Reverse Cursed Technique.
