Wow, is this a good arc? I didn't read the manga, but seriously guys... this arc is so no sense. Really, just people dying randomly. Too much power whitout any sense and so fast. Seams like a sort of ending, but we didn't see nothing but random things happen. Nanami's or Nobara's death are so empty.. I couldn't feel anything but confusion.. My only thought was "WTF are they doing? Why they are tring so hard to die? They could just wait, but no. Let's go to die so the fandom would cry". Worst deaths I can't even imagine. And if Nobara is still alive, thats even worst. Wow so so bad. Guys if you really like that, please go to read something really good and not just a bad fanfiction of Naruto...

There's no way Nobara just died like that?? Wtf, that was the most anticlimactic death. How are we supposed to be sad about the characters when we know very little about them and they don't give us enough time to be sad about it. I think Nobara's dead waas so meaningless. Why just kill her off like that? Honestly, that was the most disappointing way to die. Where tf is everyone else??

a whole lot of unnecessary questions regarding the general writing of the whole show at this point, but I'll ship it as me not understanding it because I really don't get the whole backstory thing.

Thought people were joking about it. Anyway, my whole take on this, is the other characters are being used as plot devices to help Itadori understand what a proper death should be. That doesn't make them well written or executed tho. Still lacks emotion imo.

And what's up with the all Dandy soundtrack in the background with Yuji vs. Mahito

I was already spoiled, but Nobara's death still hits like a TRUCK.. She was the reason I continued reading the manga up until the beginning of Shibuya Arc.

RIP

She didn't explode or turn into a pile of gore, so there is still a chance... right?

Seriously tho, I wonder what will be the final body count after this season.

Holy fuck, this is back-to-back emotional trauma. I couldn't breathe for the rest of the episode after mahito touched nobara. My mind just thinking "how is this actually happening?", "two main characters dying 2 episodes in a row by the same character."
That was such a gut-punch, hit even harder than nanami's death, which was also an emotional death. Nanami, at least I could see his death coming but nobara, it was legit a bait and switch. The first few mins gave her a win against mahito's double after nobara's disappointing performance against blonde this season. Then, that was all taken away by the fateful moment. The backstory pretty much sealed it.
Idk what to say, this is just too much to process especially binging this season. Though, I wonder why nobara just died like that instead of turning into a soul monster like mahito's usual kills. Either way, this is just nonstop emotional devastation.
Rip nobara, went out too early.

I guess I seriously understimated the show. This is looking more and more to be "Akama ga kill!" levels of annihilation in the 2nd season.
Her going out like that felt very bad. We haven't seen much character growth or increase in battle strength but I really liked Nobara. Her dying in face of such a powerful enemy might be logical but hurts after loosing our favourite ex-salaryman and all the goofy curses.

Nobara had upper hand in the fight with Mahito with her resonance technique and Itadori also took that advantage and punched so hard. I felt happy as if Nanami's revenge is being taken. Itadori was happy that Nobara is helping in the fight and felt happy that he is not alone and then the sad part again. I can't even take Nobara's death and Itadori witnessed two deaths in the same hour.

I'm now traumatised by the deaths and waiting on to see the revenge taken Itadori.

Well jjk became a slice of life for about 15 mins..then switched back to trauma. Nobara's death and backstory were adapted so well, to the point I actually had tears in my eyes in one of those scenes, whereas I didn't bat an eye and was pretty confused with it in the manga. That ominous sense of spaciousness after she fell is what sealed it for me. I felt chills tbh.
It actually adds a lot of depth to her character if you think about it (maybe in the long run? ), and you realize how lonely she felt in that village for her to have been so influenced by Saori.
I even served them tea!

The voice acting is on point, music is on point...nahh 'MAPPA!! What is there that you are not capable of??'

Two in a row? Are you fucking serious Gege? My heart can’t handle this.
- Nobara vs Mahito 2 was awesome! especially when she assisted Yuji, and he just went off with the martial arts.
- This whole part had some xenoblade ass music and I loved it
- That swap was just disrespectful.
- I actually cried watching Nobara cry when she lost friends, I can relate to her much more than I thought.
- Seriouslyyyy why did she have to die??? Poor Yuji’s heart can’t handle this anymore 😭
- I didn’t think I cared for Nobara but here I am sitting in my room bawling my eyes out…. At least she was happy in the end

Nobara is probably the most 'normal' sorcerer in Jujutsu high
Her backstory was not tragic and to be honest, her life was positive throughout. And it is for those very same reasons that her death is tragic. Her life truly was not bad at all. And the months she has spent with her friends in this new environment were fun whilst it lasted.

I never imagined her to ever beat Mahito but her resonance technique, though ultimately did not save her life, did enough damage for Yuji to deal a ton of punches to Mahito.

Another sweet backstory episode, focused on Kugisaki and I enjoyed it quite a lot. But the highlight was definitely the fights. Mahito very much getting hurt by her Hairpin technique, Itadori just pummeling him almost to death (very satisfying), Itadori and Kugisaki seeing each other again, and then her dying. Really sad and shocking but can’t wait to watch more.

BRO FUCK MAHITO. This mf is dropping relevant side characters like flies.

Rip Nobara. I'll say though that Nanami's death was much more impactful.

Itadori was handing Mahito his ass with those throat punches and swings. It was fire.

Her village was pretty shitty. Sadly she never got to meet both of them one last time.

The epitome of getting hit when you're already knocked down

Characters in anime tend to yell a lot, so more or less the effect can be lost. But that "KUGISAKI, RUN".... I felt that one.

This time Nobara-chan, huh? I mean I expected deaths but not this much and also not this likeable type of characters. Nice to see Saori was concerning about her too. Well done too, she was a good character with strong personality traits and her jutsu was very useful. I don't know what it's gonna happen with Yuuji state of mind now on...

@frequency15k It gets worse, don't worry. In the manga, the entire cast is getting raped by Sukuna for several chapters on end and in the most repetitive manner possible.

respectfully, they did nobara dirty with that. she was OP with that set up, and they dropped her that hard?
bit offensive she only used resonance once
she was such a perfect weapon, even if she was weak. >:0 used and abused for no reason. she went down standing still and pretty, her life has more value than that

We've not really had much of a look into the past of Nobara, so having that bit as she is hit by Mahito is something I guess, I didn't really remember this part in the manga tbh.

Very good episode, that's the way I like it... no script power, bye bye Nobara and if Mahito keeps this up he'll take all the mages with him hahaha.
Poor Itadori, he's taking psychological and physical damage one after another, I wouldn't blame him if he loses his mind.
Nobara was right, his village is weird and shitty.

PS: This arc was looking like what I've said several times before, a battle royal where a lot of characters are going to die and so far it's coming true

PS2: I like the detail that before dying the characters leave on good terms, I guess it's not to curse or something but other than that, they do it from the heart and not as an obligation... at least that's how I see it

While Yuuji was dealing with Mahito, Nobara dealt with Mahito’s clone. When Nobara dealt damage to Mahito, his clone ran towards the original, and Mahito touched Nobara.

Yuuji again had to witness one of his close friend falling. His mental health is deteriorating.
