For fans of the manga, is Nobara really dead? While Mahito continues to collect kill after kill of sorcerers unlike his other useless companions (Junpei, Mechamaru, Nanami) now we get to the point where Nobara is also one of his victims, but I wanted to ask after seeing the episode Nobara Is she really dead? because on the wiki status they say her fate is unknown, but we literally see Mahito blow her face up...

While it’s technically “unconfirmed” I’d say she’s dead. She hasn’t been hinted at being alive and hasn’t even been shown at all. Gege probably forgot about her or doesn’t know how to add her into the story so she’s probably dead

It's been 120 chapters since this moment and she still hasn't been shown again or even hinted at, it's safe to assume she's dead for real. People who believe otherwise are just Nobara fans on copium.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

I personally am not a coper nor a massive nobara fan, but as a Manga reader, I would say her status is alive, yet I see no reason of her return anytime soon. Most of the apparently weaker characters are left behind in shibuya, so I’d say Nobara won’t be returning in battle at any point.

Her status is unconfirmed. I think she's alive, not because I like Nobara and am on copium, but I think if she died it would've been far more gruesome

Even we don’t know after all these years. I guess it’s safe to assume she is. She’s only been mentioned like twice since then

Unconfirmed, but 3 years MIA with maybe one or two references to her from what I remember have me feeling like she’s dead. She’s cool and all, but relatively powerless compared to a lot of the cast, and we’re at a point where I find it hard to imagine her being useful. Unless for 3 years without reference or knowledge of the fact that she’s been in the lab just training the whole time.

I havent read the manga but why waste half an episode on backstory worldbuilding if you are going to let her die after ? Usually when they do this, the whole "let's waste one episode on wrapping her story because she's dying at the end of the episode", they don't really waste time worldbuilding. What's the purpose of the lady with the house who leaves the village ? What's the purpose of seeing her old friend at work during the incident ? Make her death feel tragic in 9 minutes ?

If she's really dead...it's lazy writing tbh.

I know its an horror anime but...you don't need to forcefeed tragedy when Itadori Yuji just killed thousands of people while not being able to control his body, then saw Nanami blow up in front of him, then saw Nobara die.

You can't really top the tragedy of the last hour of Itadori Yuji life.

In most anime’s that means they are dead, saying it without saying it

She's not confirmed, Megumi later on never stated with words that she's dead for sure just gave a face when Yuji asked about her. But I feel like she is dead personally. I had a slight hope in one later chapter in Shoko's office (?) but it's certainly not her.

I don’t get how she was so on guard during the fight and all of sudden she lets down all defenses, she easily could’ve dodged it, is this just me?

She hasn't been confirmed. We hear that Shoko can potentially heal her but nothing has been expanded since. I have my own theories for how she makes her return but yeah it is unknown if she is for sure dead or not. Gege said that one of the main cast (Itadori, Megumi, Nobara, and Gojo) will die by the end of the series and I always thought that it was too early to pronounce her officially dead mid series and after a lot has happened (If you know, you know). Really there are those that think she is actually dead and this that think she will return.

If that’s the case, that means she could potentially be alive. Since gege said “1” of the main cast would die.

From this comments I can see that her fate hasn´t been clearly stated. I hope Gege just finds a way to say if she´s alive or not. Even if she doesn´t appear anymore in the series, just end the suffering of not knowing.

Personally, I´d say she´s dead. Sadly.

She isn't dead and will come back by beating the shit out of Sukuna while doing resonance with the last finger that is left, just like she did it with Mahito's clone.

thank god she's dead.

stupid AF, annoying, tries to act like she owns the place, probably the weakest character fighting in Shibuya, runs back inside after getting her shit kicked in by a rando, thinks she can take down Mahito, get's lucky then becomes cocky real fast.

PS: Her backstory makes no sense, she seems to have had a completely normal childhood, where did her powers eve come from? What a PoS flashback that was, it felt like a Demon Slayer episode.

Either she is going to be crucial for the finale or Gege fumbled her worse than any other character in the history of anime. Her death was so stupid and makes no sense.

yeah and they showed that geto is still there somewhere, so maybe this is why nobara's status is unknown?

@sinkershel I think you forgot what anime you watching and what the mangaka style is, his death of characters are more abnormal than the apocalyptic anime govern by titan monster called shingeki

Oh bitter sweet memory I asked the same question after reading that chapter in the manga discussion, so HEAVY spoilers coming up, don't read if you don't want to be spoiled:


Up until the very recent manga chapter, we have no confirmation on her status whatsoever. After the Shibuya Arc Itadori asks what happened to Nobara, but before receiving an answer he cut off the question.

Then in another instance (somewhere in the Culling Game Arc) a new character seems to be joining Itadori and Co, and Itadori is saying: I should apologize to Nobara for saying this...

These instance are soooo vague that I can't stop believing that she is still alive..

@SteelingMax
The weakest are the assistants like Ijichi or Nitta. Then even Nobara could beat Mimiko and Hanako. She could beat Ui Ui. She could probably beat the grandma or the grandson if she fights 1 vs 1, because they wouldn't be able to use the possession technique if they are separated.

@thebrentinator24 she's been hinted at. She hasn't recovered atm and we don't know whether she makes it but most likely she's coming back. Trust the process
