RIP Nobara

JJK broke the common shonen troupe of the main trio surviving until the very end. It was a beautiful farewell.
I also just realized that the scene where the two Mahitos passed by each other to switch places was somewhat reminiscent of when Yuji and Nobara fought Eso & Kechizu.

"I've had a pretty good life."

Kugisaki's status is listed as Unknown on the wiki, so here's hoping the author is nice enough to bring her back at the end.







They got us good boys.

Females are bad written and not needed because they are NPCs in the Jujutsu Kaisen.

People got illusion over "Nobara or Maki" is good female characters, No. Good female characters does not exist in shounen, stop chasing a dream. This episode already shows it.

GG I guess. I hate mid-action death flag flashbacks, we went from a great fight to idk what. I ended up just skipping through it on principle. I guess this episode signaled what was coming. I went ahead and read manga spoilers, this is a drop, just like Akame Ga Kill. Crazy how one episode can completely change how good an anime is. Oh well. 🤷

Bummer of an episode.

Not because I was a huge Kugisaki fan, I liked her -- she was fine. Liked her backstory, didn't get much of her in the show to feel the sadness of the moment.

Felt cheap, never liked the torturing of a character by killing off their friends trope.

I just don't understand purpose of it, especially after Nanami.

What Mahito did to that trouble schoolboy was evil enough, that wasn't enough for him to be hated?

I loved how fresh and relatively surprising plot/story wise JJK has been, these last couple of episodes have been a disappointing turn in the lame Shounen cliches.

I must admit that the creator has big balls to kill his beloved characters, I saw many shounen where the protagonist has his two faithful friends who always accompany him on his adventures and never die, here the opposite happened, the last thing I saw where his best friend/brother died was in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
I don't remember another.

Well damn, killing one of the 3 main characters off was not something I saw coming. I liked Kugisaki's character. In my opinion, she didn't get enough screen time.

Nobara comes into play within the void as Itadori continues his stake against Mahito, with the double fighting against her, which her Resonance still is felt to the main body on its lingering afteraffects. Despite that, both Mahito and his double managed to stake their way across each other, which left Nobara in a state of confusion as to which body is the real thing.

As is with Nanami, Nobara's backstory was less subtle, but still worth mentioning that she is like the odd one out who likes to cause trouble being the unlikable girl in the village, and saving this Fumi girl whom Nobara invited herself to her place just to play Smash Bros. with her dad. Soon after meeting another outsider Saori, Nobara grew maturely, but the presence was out of way that soon, trash and graffiti smashed her home, only to move away, leading to Nobara leaving the village as well with her family dispute. The current Saori working at the Shibuya district and thinking about her all this while, and Nobara, thinking of the friends that she made along the way.

Nobara's message: Life wasn't so bad (after all). What a way to go out like this.

Well, if you're killing off two fan-favourite characters on the "good" side, then truly nothing is off the table.
Fair play to Gege.
But still, this hurts.
It feels like she never really reached her potential as a character.
(But hey, maybe she's not actually dead, right?...)

keep seeing comments saying that gege didn’t like nobara and only added her because his editor told him too ?

If that’s the case then he had more balls killing off a character he didn’t like then Naruto did with Sakura

That didn't just happen. I'll hold onto some hope since they didn't show the body, although Mahito's second hit (at a vital spot too) should be more effective. Maybe Kugisaki managed to do something with her cursed energy? Yeah, I'm just coping at this point. 😖

What a waste of time and a hot character, she did nothing, she accomplished nothing and just died.
@KanameYuuki 31 year old man calling a 17-year-old girl hot. Sorry JJK's plot is too complex for you to understand that maybe Nobara accomplished more than just "fight bad guy". Id respect your opinion if you didnt sound like a porn addicted loser.

acho super mega merda essa morte dela.
despedicio demais do potencial de um personagem.
mata assim sem mais nem menos foi muito broxa.
forçado demais.

I think her death is super shit.
too much of a waste of a character's potential.
Killing like that just like that was really stupid.

Fantastic episode. Much better animation quality. You can tell the staggering difference between ep17 (Jogo v Sukuna) + ep19 (this) vs the rest of the episodes. The fight sequence between Itadori and Mahito, not quite S1 level but satisfying enough to be called a real JJK episode, at least not as bad as most of S2 has been. Every punch and kick was traceable, not just a blind mash, you can see technique and detail to his fighting style. Mahito narrating his incapacitation is so much better than that stupid random female voice stepping in out of nowhere. There was one nature/stream scene in Nobara's pre-death life flash, stunning visually.

I love it when authors add in useless flashbacks right before a character dies, means I can just skip 5 minutes ahead and get to watching something better written that much faster. Why would anyone care what happens in those, the character is dead, any character growth they'd gain from the flash is pointless.
@Kaljalager I will never understand this, but anime seems to think that they're "deep" for doing it, even though it's very lazy writing. It's better to show these things through the character's actions in earlier seasons/episodes.

Then again, I was never a fan of Nobara anyways. Very little depth to her character, but JJK isn't known for its characterization anyways.
