This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 267.

The anime “Jujutsu Kaisen” is approaching its finale, and viewers are captivated by the intense battle between Yuji Itadori and Sukuna. Initially a massive assault, this fight has progressed with the diminishing number of sorcerers involved, leaving only Yuji to suggest that the conclusion of this epic duel is imminent.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t contain my excitement as the author has made it clear that we’re nearing the endgame of Jujutsu Kaisen, with just five chapters remaining! This means the epic showdown between Yuji and Sukuna is about to reach its climax soon. In chapter 267, our hero Yuji received a significant boost, a clear sign that Sukuna’s reign may be coming to an end. The aid came from none other than Kugisaki Nobara, a character fans know as the main heroine of JJK and one of the series’ most crucial figures.

Nobara’s Death In Jujutsu Kaisen Came In The Shibuya Incident Arc

Killed By Mahito
Saved By Nitta

In the captivating world of Jujutsu Kaisen, I, a formidable sorceress named Nobara, was unveiled as a powerhouse. Though Megumi and Yuji often stole the spotlight, it was common knowledge that my abilities were on par with theirs. At the outset, I played a crucial role in the storyline, and it seemed like an illustrious future awaited me.

Hey Itadori, tell everyone it wasn’t so bad! – Nobara

In the heat of our battle with Mahito, I got the raw end of the deal – he basically turned a big chunk of my face into nothingness using his Idle Transfiguration trick. To say I was close to death would be an understatement, and seeing me like that left Yuji utterly devastated. If not for Todo’s quick thinking, I fear Yuji might have met the same fate in Shibuya himself. What made things intriguing, though, was that my demise wasn’t confirmed in JJK. When I took that hit, it was clear that my chances of survival were slim to none, but there was still a glimmer of hope. Later on, after the chaos in Shibuya settled, Yuji asked Megumi about my status and got no answer. Even though Mahito’s actions suggested I had perished, there was no definitive confirmation, and fans like us were convinced that I would make a comeback – and play a crucial role in the storyline at some point down the line.

Lately, it seemed as though Nobara had perished when Yuji encountered a quick succession of deceased individuals in his recollections. This moment was significant because readers were just starting to come to terms with her absence, thinking she would not reappear. However, the author took an unexpected turn and reintroduced her into the narrative.

How Nobara Survived Her Death

Nobara Kugisaki Finally Woke Up And Joined The Battle

Jujutsu Kaisen: How Did Nobara Survive, Explained

In chapter 267 of JJK, Nobara Kugisaki makes a thrilling comeback during the intense battle against Sukuna. While Yuji was giving his all in combat, Sukuna was trying to retaliate by reopening his domain and annihilating Yuji, effectively ending the fight. But right before Sukuna could activate his domain, Nobara stepped in to aid Yuji with her Resonance technique. Fans were surprised to learn that the finger they saw in the previous chapter actually belonged to Sukuna. Contrary to initial assumptions, it was not Sukuna’s finger that Rika consumed but rather a finger belonging to Yuji.

The last finger, you weren’t able to retrieve it, were you? – Yuta

Because Yuji’s body housed Sukuna, he became akin to a cursed artifact, brimming with Sukuna’s power. This fact made it possible for Yuta to acquire one of Sukuna’s abilities by consuming a piece of Yuji. Meanwhile, Nobara was using her Resonance technique to strike Sukuna’s real finger, which was confined in a sacred location, causing significant harm to Sukuna’s spirit. Given that Yuji is continuously performing Soul Dismantle on Sukuna, it seems likely that the King of Curses won’t last much longer. As the story unfolds, viewers are eagerly anticipating the resolution of this battle and how Yuji and Nobara will manage the menace posed by the King of Curses. The tension is building, and fans can hardly wait to see how everything turns out!

Fans might wonder how Nobara managed to survive given that Idle Transfiguration cannot be healed from because it disrupts one’s soul. The only way to heal a disrupted soul is by understanding its boundaries, which allows for regeneration. However, this was not an option for Nobara as she couldn’t do it herself. Fortunately, Nitta intervened with his technique to ensure her survival, and ever since then, Nobara has been in a coma or undergoing intensive treatment.

The primary motive behind not revealing anything about Nobara to Yuji appears to be keeping her as a potential game-changer. Similarly, Todo’s cursed technique was concealed from Yuji for similar reasons. At the time when Yuji inquired about Megumi’s status, Nobara seemed to be inactive. However, it’s now apparent that she has regained consciousness and is prepared for another fight. Despite taking a lethal hit, Nobara has survived, which means her mental faculties are undamaged, and she will continue to live. The eye patch on the left side of her face indicates that she hasn’t fully recovered from the physical harm, but she’s very much alive.

Nobara’s Return Vs Sukuna In The Final Battle

Nobara Will Combine With Yuji To Defeat Sukuna

In the latest developments of Jujutsu Kaisen, Nobara has become instrumental in the fight against Ryomen Sukuna. Despite Yuji being destined to vanquish the King of Curses, he cannot do so alone. Yuji’s survival thus far can be attributed to the assistance he’s received, without which he would have perished much earlier. The climax seems to be approaching with Nobara at the forefront, hinting at a resemblance to how Yuji and Nobara teamed up to defeat Eso and Kechizu previously. This time, they are facing their toughest adversary yet, and it seems that their combined abilities will once again prove crucial as they fight together against the greatest of all time.

Yuji is about to unleash his potent black flashes infused with Soul Damage abilities, while Nobara plans to deploy her Resonance skill targeting Sukuna’s spirit. This will make Sukuna’s control over Megumi increasingly tenuous, enabling him to join the battle more actively. In essence, Sukuna’s downfall is imminent and we might witness it in the upcoming one or two chapters.
