The recent leaks from chapter 267 have provided confirmation that Nobara is indeed alive. This news may come as a relief to devoted fans of Jujutsu Kaisen who had been grieving her death. However, considering the track record of author Gege Akutami, it is likely that the remaining five chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen will be filled with even more tragedy.
Itadori, Fushiguro, and Nobara will always be remembered as one of the greatest anime trios to have ever graced the screen. With that in mind, many fans are wondering if Gege will reunite them one final time. Let us delve into the possibilities while also examining the current state of the manga.
Why is the Trio Separated?
Despite the challenging circumstances, Itadori continues to fight in the latest installments of Jujutsu Kaisen. But, interestingly, Nobara and Fushiguro are absent. For those who may be struggling to follow the plot, we’ll explain it in simpler terms.
Nobara’s Whereabouts
During the Shibuya arc in season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen, amidst the rampage of special grade curses, the majority of jujutsu sorcerers were engaged in exorcising them. Nobara was also among those actively working towards this goal.
During the confrontation between Mahito and Nobara, Mahito made the decision to end her life in front of Itadori. This was his attempt to push Itadori deeper into despair, as well as a precaution against Nobara’s dangerous abilities. Anyone who underestimates Nobara is gravely mistaken.
The clone of Mahito enticed Nobara to come closer to Yuuji, then switched places with the original Mahito and used idle transfiguration on Nobara’s face.
Despite appearing to have died, there was still a glimmer of hope as she was rescued in time. However, following the event, she has never made an appearance in JJK.
Is Megumi Still Alive?
In the 212th chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, within the culling game arc, the puzzle pieces finally fall into place as we uncover the reason for Sukuna’s fascination with Megumi, specifically his physical form.
When Megumi witnessed his sister being possessed by a reincarnated sorcerer, he was left in a vulnerable state. Seizing this opportunity, Sukuna deceived Itadori into temporarily relinquishing control and used this chance to sever one of Itadori’s fingers and forcefully feed it to Megumi. As a result, Sukuna gained full control over Megumi.
Sukuna selected Megumi because he recognized his inherent potential. With the ten shadows technique and Mahogara on his side, Sukuna was confident that he would emerge victorious against Gojo. This is the reason behind Sukuna’s decision to choose Megumi.
The Ray of Hope
In chapter 266, we witnessed Megumi’s use of his ten shadows technique when Sukuna was brought into Yuuji’s domain. This serves as a reminder that Megumi’s soul is still intact and has not succumbed to Sukuna.
Despite the recent leaks of the latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, it has been confirmed that Nobara is still alive and well. While the reasons for her survival have not been revealed, it is likely that she will remain unharmed until the end as she is currently far from the ongoing events. Let us hope that she remains safe until she can reunite with her comrades.
What are the odds?
Gege has undoubtedly evoked strong emotions from fans, with many of our beloved characters meeting their end and recent chapters showing Sukuna’s overwhelming power. With only five chapters left until the manga’s conclusion, it begs the question of how Gege will be able to redeem himself.
If Jujutsu Kaisen follows the typical manga ending with the protagonist or his ideals prevailing, then reuniting our beloved trio would be the most positive outcome for the series, especially given the current dire circumstances portrayed in the manga.
Ever since Yuuji expanded his domain, circumstances have been favoring him for some time. There are indications that Fushiguro is starting to awaken, and Nobara has miraculously returned and is aiding Itadori in his battle. Some may even speculate that Itadori could emerge victorious in his domain, but it is best not to jinx it prematurely.
For the time being, all we can do as fans is patiently await Gege’s masterpiece. Before Jujutsu Kaisen concludes, let’s savor these final moments by revisiting some of the greatest scenes and rereading the manga.
