Despite Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 being scheduled for release on August 19, 2024, spoilers for the chapter have already been leaked. These spoilers suggest the possibility of Nobara’s return, adding an intriguing element to the chapter. While the majority of the chapter focuses on Megumi’s return and Yuji’s confrontation with Ryomen Sukuna, the climax is what truly captivates readers.
The final panel of the chapter revealed a finger in an enigmatic location. Although the significance of this finger was not explicitly shown in the chapter, it was alluded to in the music video of the series’ game opening theme song. Among the cryptic images featured in the video was a finger with Nobara’s distinctive nail, possibly hinting at her potential return in the next chapter.
Please note: This article includes possible spoilers from chapter 266 of Jujutsu Kaisen and reflects the author’s personal views.
Jujutsu Kaisen: The Possibility of Nobara’s Return Being Imminent According to the Fandom
The focus of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 266 was on the dialogue between Fushigoro and Itadori, and it marked Itadori’s comeback as he began to resist from within Sukuna’s body. The chapter concluded with a tense confrontation between Yuji and Sukuna, with the sorcerer having two of his fingers partially severed.
The focus of the chapter then changed to a mysterious place that resembled a clock tower, where Sukuna’s final finger was suspended by threads. This surprise detail left the entire fandom bewildered, as it hinted at the possible return of a sorcerer who was believed to have died during the Shibuya arc. This revelation raised the question of how such a scenario could be possible.
The enigmatic finger introduced in chapter 266 could possibly be identical to the one featured in the opening theme song, titled Avant, of the Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade game’s music video.
The music video for the mobile game contained ambiguous visuals of various kitchen tools and human body parts. Despite the obscurity of these images, there were a few intriguing details that stood out.
The music video at the 2:06 timestamp featured Kugisaki Nobara’s nail, a crucial element of her cursed technique, encircled by four eyes that are likely attributed to Ryomen Sukuna in his true form.
In the music video, at 2:07, a finger is seen hanging which could potentially be the same one from Chapter 266. It is possible that this is the same location where Nobara may reappear, as it is where Megumi and Itadori are currently battling the King of Curses and where Sukuna’s last finger was previously located.
By utilizing her Resonance cursed technique on this finger, she could weaken the King of Curses to a lethal state, allowing Itadori to deliver the final blow to Ryomen Sukuna and ultimately defeat the antagonist.
Until this point, Nobara’s return had only been a hopeful fantasy, but by disclosing crucial information in the most recent chapter, it could potentially bring about her actual return.
Final Thoughts
Despite airing almost two years ago, the music video has been a major point of contention among fans, who question how it could hold such a crucial clue to Nobara’s return. This detail may have been overlooked by some, but it is worth noting that Yuji’s recent domain expansion bears a striking resemblance to the opening song of the anime adaptation of the manga series, which was also referenced in a previous chapter.
Although there is no confirmation that Gege Akutami was involved in the production of Avant’s music video, it is highly unlikely that the details would align. Additionally, the reappearance of Nobara does not guarantee that she will cross paths with Yuji. It is possible that she is facing her final moments, making this a fitting conclusion for her character.
