| Here's the thing, the shonen discourse about the treatment of female characters is not a favourite topic to discuss with anime fans. People always like to bring up 'Sakura' during these discussions, please try to not bring her into discussions. In 2020, people praised Nobara for being a great female character since she showed a lot of potential, but it feels like she was underutilized in this arc. I hoped that she would get some badass fight with Haruto but in the end, she got interrupted by Nanami who comes and obliterates Haruto which is meant to display a mismatch of power between Nanami and Nobara which is kind of upsetting, to be honest. I know this is certainly a high expectation, but let's hope Nobara will be given an active role instead of being put on sidelines in otherwise what is supposed to be the 'peak of Jujutsu kaisen's story' |
| Pretty sure she will still have her time to shine. |

| After watching JJK S1 I started reading the JJK manga. And only after getting caught up with JJK did I read (and finished) Naruto. I haven't watched the Naruto anime yet. I really liked the character of Nobara....but only after completing Naruto did I realize how under-developed Nobara is in comparison to Sakura. Sakura is considered useless by many....but not by me. Alongside Naruto, her character was developed over 700 chapters. Across those 700 chapters, Sakura matured, struggled with "inner Sakura", got frustrated over not being able to keep up with Naruto's and Sasuke's growth as ninjas, came to terms with it, realized her own potential as a medic ninja, became Tsunade's apprentice and later her successor, matured to understand Naruto better as well as his motivation and devotion to bringing Sasuke back to Konoha and finally received closure for her unrequited love for Sasuke. And thus, in my opinion, Sakura is a significantly more developed character than Nobara...but then, Gege's writing cannot be compared to Kishimoto's....there's a reason Naruto is a classic....and that isn't all attributable to nostalgia. |

don't worry, she's yet to get her mind blowing moment this season, you'll love it
| @Snack_pack yup it's gonna be an eye-popping moment for sure |
Tbh there’s no hope broski Gege doesn’t like females in his manga, even if he does have a decent female character he kills her off he probably thinks of maki as a male hence why she lasted this long Mod Edit: Removed Manga spoilers. |

| Tbh I give black clover grief but when u actually think about it tabata actually uses his female cast to their full potential giving them development and battles etc where’s other series the mainstream ones kinda shits on em hori from my hero is another like Gege, hori would create crazy cool female type character only for him to shit on her after look at what he did to miroko she’s lost god damn all her limbs and well star she doesn’t have the main cast plot amour to survive a frontal battle against the big bad also I stared reading dandandan I think the author doesn’t females pretty decent better than most tbh dandandan lowkey the goat best series ever I might be bias |
|
| I'm pretty sure Gege only added her orignally bc his editors told him to. |
| I don't know, never really found her character to be anything substantial, enjoyable or interesting to be honest. I also generally don't like the main four and think the side characters have more potential than them to be anywhere close to fun or interesting to watch. She's always just... kind of existed and there are times she is forgettable too, even from early on besides maybe the final couple episodes of season 1. |
| yep, she was one of the few characters i gave a shit about in s1 but damn they massacred my girl, never let gege cook again. couldn't care less about any of the remaining females ever since. |

| Females in JJK is garbage and useless as any other shounen. JJK Manga readers know this. |

| Bad timing but she is useless. Mod Edit: Removed Manga spoilers |

| Feel like Nobara was an after though from gege just to include a female lead and fit into shonen troupe. She's incredibly weak compared to her peers and has no connection to any villains or jujutsu society at all. Maki was obviously the female star of JJK from the start. Nobara was always just there |
| I think its good she got shelfed |
| There's no room for that. Don't you see how fast the pacing is ? It's not like black clover, mha, naruto, bleach, One piece.. etc This season 2 is really fast comparing to that season 1. And watch how important people die in the anime, she will maybe be in this list too. Who knows ( beside mangas readers and spoilers . btw fuk u spoilers, i see you on other platform. childish behaviour. ) |

Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Neo: What truth? Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. |
Gege is male bro, look it up, google it up, YouTube it up Mod Edit: Removed quote containing manga spoilers |

| I never cared much about Nobara. She's not a bad character but doesn't feel that interesting. I don't know. |
| I would've said manga readers already know this, but to be fair, at this point of the arc when I was reading the manga I didn't realize this because I was so caught up in the whole ordeal and it flew over my head that Nobara was NOT getting as much as she should've as part of the main trio. At this point where I'm at in the manga, I'm more than aware of this, but also watching the anime it's so painfully obvious that she's getting the short end of the stick. Nobody better be praising JJK for how it handles its female characters anymore. This series fell off a cliff and keeps on falling. |

| @bucciest But Maki is one of the best characters of the series with more development than most? And she is a woman |

| @manelist1 Really now? Out of the entire cast of women and girls, only one arguably had potential that wasn't completely wasted... JJK can and should do better. I'm not going to be thankful for less than the bare minimum. EDIT: I like the female characters in this series, so this issue annoys me even more. |
