Jujutsu Kaisen has left fans reeling, YET AGAIN, with its latest episode that saw the untimely demise of one of its best characters, Nobara Kugisaki. The second season, renowned for its mortifying twists, has once again traumatized its fanbase by bidding farewell to a beloved member of the cast.

Nobara met her untimely end while duking it out with Mahito in Shibuya. The episode thoughtfully threw in some flashbacks of Nobara's childhood, just in case anyone missed the memo on how attached we should be to her character.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Nobara's character – a grade-three sorcerer who consistently proved her worth time and time again, but apparently not enough to dodge a cruel game of death tag.

The witty sorcerer stood out as one of the most compelling women characters in contemporary anime, particularly in the context of Jujutsu Kaisen. Her journey throughout the series solidified her as a memorable and impactful figure, contributing to the emotional depth and narrative richness of the show.

From the outset, Nobara's strength of character was evident. In a world where conformity often prevails, she defies societal expectations and stands by her convictions.

Nobara's strength extends beyond her physical abilities.

Despite being classified as a grade three sorcerer, she consistently challenges more formidable opponents through determination and clever tactics.

Coming through as a ray of light when yuji's at his lowest & assuring him that he is not alone in this then proceed to pummel the shit outta mahito which was only possible cuz of nobara's resonance had me in tears & the biggest grin on my face appeard seeing this finally adapted. pic.twitter.com/0UCRgl2rfw

But hey, who needs those skills when you can just touch someone's eye and blow a hole through their skull?

Furthermore, Nobara's dynamic interactions with her peers, particularly her playful banter with Yuji Itadori and the camaraderie she shares with Maki Zenin, revealed endearing facets to her personality.

But above all, Nobara transcends conventional portrayals of women in the genre. Her platonic relationships showcased a refreshing dynamic based on mutual respect and camaraderie rather than the stereotypically drab romantic undertones.

The mentality & the fucking guts alone required to take action after seeing what shibuya has been through & the high probability of death waiting at the end of it all is what makes Nobara's char so cool to me & I love her for that.

The added menace & sass is just cherry on top♥️ pic.twitter.com/QRNbVb93XM

Nobara’s commitment to her beliefs, demonstrated by her memorable "limited seats in my life" spiel, was truly heartrending and her death, much like Nanami Kento's, is a testament to the series' willingness to take bold narrative risks and inject genuine stakes into the storyline.

Nobara’s character design and narrative arc exemplify a progressive approach to storytelling, where women are not confined to outdated roles but emerge as powerful and complex individuals, making her a standout figure in the evolving realm of anime.

For now, as Jujutsu Kaisen steamrolls through our mental health every week, verdict’s still out on the next fresh hell the anime has in store for us before the season comes to a close.
