'Jujutsu Kaisen' reveals the unexpected return of one of the most popular characters, revolutionizing the final battle
A decisive moment that few readers could have imagined.
‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ is going all out in the final stretch, Gege Akutami is wasting no time in the last chapters of one of the most outstanding manga of Shonen Jump, and his 267th chapter has completely revolutionized the final battle to the point where it is supposed to be over. The reason? The return of a character we thought was dead, who had practically confirmed in the previous chapter that she wouldn’t be coming back, but to everyone’s surprise Gege Akutami did it again. Nobara Kugisaki was the key to what seemed to be the end of the battle against Sukuna, the King of Curses.
The last time Nobara appeared in the manga was in chapter 124, where he seemed to have died at the hands of Mahito, but now, four years later and in the last part of the series, she reappears and in the most spectacular way possible. A strategy has been devised to damage Sukuna before the last finger is consumed, and the weapon is her cursed Straw Doll technique, in which the application of Resonance causes enormous damage to Sukuna. This technique deals damage no matter where the target is, and the value of the item taken also has a direct effect on that damage, so since it is one of his fingers, the effect is huge.
Itadori and Nobara, the key to the outcome of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’
The moment Resonance is applied, Yuji Itadori realizes that his friend Nobara is still alive, prompting tears of joy and the decision to give everything to end the greatest danger Planet Earth has ever known. A thunderous final moment, with Sukuna completely blocked and Itadori using his Black Flash to literally shatter his chest and back, causing him to explode and, pending what happens in the next chapter, put an end to one of the longest and most intense battles in manga history.
A protagonist who had a great moment of glory in a series that made it difficult for her from the beginning, not giving her the protagonism and progressive growth usual in a shonen manga, but making her arrive at the final moment in the best possible way. Will Sukuna be able to recover? With Gege Akutami, nothing should be ruled out, but between Nobara’s ability and Itadori’s Black Flash hitting directly at her soul, it won’t be easy for her to recover from this.
