In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 267 spoilers, Nobara’s eyepatch serves as a significant piece of evidence indicating her survival of Mahito’s attack during the Shibuya Incident arc. Fans were overjoyed at the character’s return, and the eyepatch stands as a reminder of the struggles she faced in Shibuya and the lasting effects of that battle.
Even the most dedicated Jujutsu Kaisen fans have considered the possibility of the character’s return, as shown through various fan art depicting her with an eyepatch. This serves as a reminder of the impact Mahito had on Nobara, leading to her losing her eye and forcing many to contemplate its significance.
Please be aware that this article includes spoilers for the series.
Explaining the origin of Nobara’s eyepatch in Jujutsu Kaisen
The origin of Nobara’s eyepatch dates back to the Shibuya Incident arc, when she assisted Yuji Itadori in his fight against Mahito. During the intense battle, Mahito used his Idle Transfiguration technique on Nobara’s left eye, causing many to believe that she had been killed and resulting in the loss of part of her face.
Despite the widespread belief that the young sorcerer had perished, there were some fans who speculated that she may still be alive and playing a role in the story. These theories suggested that she may have been in hiding, using her Cursed Technique to harm Ryomen Sukuna by manipulating his finger. Fan art even depicted her with an eyepatch.
Fans were one step ahead of the author, Gege Akutami, when he unveiled the character’s new look in the leaked chapter 267. The eyepatch was reintroduced, revealing the reason for Nobara’s change in appearance. Despite losing her left eye, it was a small sacrifice compared to the potential of losing her life in the battle against Mahito.
Final Thoughts
Despite assumptions from even her biggest fans that she was dead, Nobara’s return has undoubtedly been one of the most unexpected moments in recent Jujutsu Kaisen memory. However, this event may have divisive consequences for the story going forward, as Gege Akutami has a tendency to handle character deaths in a particular manner.
Despite receiving praise for his willingness to kill off popular characters in his manga, Akutami’s decision to bring back Nobara feels like a cop-out. Furthermore, her absence for almost two entire arcs leaves her character feeling underdeveloped and does a disservice to her. This is in contrast to the bold move of killing off Satoru Gojo, which gained much attention and admiration.
Despite generating a lot of hype among the JJK community upon her return, some argue that at this stage, she could have potentially made a bigger impact if she had remained deceased. Nevertheless, this is open to interpretation.
