All right. I've had enough time to recollect my feelings and thoughts so let's do this. First things first, I'm not sure why people are made about Nobara being brought back and saying "DoSeNt mAkE SeNsE GeGe tRaSh wRiTiNg". Now, I'll admit, I was one of the people that thought that there was no way she was still even alive or would ever come back again. However, her return makes perfect sense. People over here asking how the hell she survived the fodder named Mahito. Besides the fact that Mahito is a fraud and fodder, we've seen a lot of characters survive worse than what Nobara went through.

And might I add, that it was never confirmed either that she was even dead. She was never dead in the first place so IDK why people are angry. Put into consideration the fact that as well that it's only been like 2-ish month's since Shibuya in JJK time. And I mean, given her injury, it makes perfect sense as well. It's been years for us, sure. But for the characters themselves, like a couple of weeks lol.

That out of the way, I want to point of the blatant hypocrisy coming from a lot of JJK fans after this chapter. Say for example, this was any other series like Fairy Tail or Black Clover, JJK fans would be complaining and crying about how "DoSeNt mAkE SeNsE tRaSh wRiTiNg". Me personally, I could care less about revivals in shounen especially, because it's a generic troupe they use a lot of the time.

I'll agree though, that the fact that Gege took THIS long to bring back Nobara, ya know, FIVE FUCKING CHAPTERS BEFORE THE SERIES ENDS LONG, is kinda stupid. Maybe instead of wasting time with useless and boring fights like the Miguel one, etc... we could've gotten a Nobara return WAYYYYY back.

All in all, Nobara's return makes sense. No discussion needed. Now if Gege actually pulls something out of his ass and brings back Mechamaru and Nanamin... yeah I can't defend him no longer then.

I didn’t think you were capable of going that far… Nobara copers 🥲

I really thought she was dead lmao it's weird to bring her back so late, but the buildup the entire chapter was great. Can we please check up on Gege’s mental health? His glorious king is going to die next chapter.

Ladies and gentlemen, We're officially so back. We've never been so back before.

They executed their plan perfectly. Sukuna got bluffed hard. That last finger cost Sukuna more than he asked for.

Nobara-chan!!!!!!

I've seen some people questioning why Gege brought Nobara back after "so long," but what people need to remember is that it's only been a couple months in-universe. Sure, it's been a few years and nearly 150 chapters since we the readers last saw Nobara, but Shibuya took place on Halloween, and this is Christmas Eve. So she's technically only been gone for 2 months.

But wow, it really happened. I had made peace long ago that Nobara was dead, but holy shit, the copers actually won. They were annoying as fuck, literally chapter after chapter "Nobara is coming back, she's making her return, this is the chapter," and the delusion finally paid off lol. Crazy that she "died" in chapter 125, fucked off for almost 150 chapters, and shows up with 5 chapters left to deliver a significant blow to help in finishing off Sukuna.

Personally, I'm iffy on this and would have liked it if Gege stood on business in keeping her dead like it was implied a few times, but it is what it is. Still a hype chapter all things considered.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Nobara came back the exact way I thought she would........40 CHAPTERS LATER THAN SHE SHOULD HAVE COME BACK!
I get Gege's wrapping it up but why would you wait until the final 5 chapters to bring back your main female character?

Well it's hype af and really good that she is back but as much as I love JJK, I still feel like Gege could have done a better job in handling Nobara's character. Like why did it take her this long to come back lol?

On a side note, I loved that callback to chapter 4, when Nobara was introduced. That was nice and plus Yuji was in tears. And Nobara looks really great in that eyepatch. Suits her perfectly imo.

And we still don't know anything about Hakari vs Uraume. Like what happened to their fight and who won?

Though I do hope there is more to Nobara’s return than just “she finally woke up”.

Personally I really hope she’s actually a cursed corpse so that Panda’s entire storyline hasn’t been for nothing and completely forgotten since Kashimo showed up and absolutely demolished him back in 186.

Amazing, I wasn't expecting that, I even said so last chapter that I didn't believe Nobara would be back. What now lmao

Still, 4 more chapters for the end, kinda bummed about it a lot of plot points were dropped, but happy it'll finally end. This fight stretched far too long, its been entertaining but tiresome.

I am so glad I stopped taking this manga seriously over a year ago. Otherwise I would be baffled that "Somehow, Nobara returned".
I also expect a good explanation because if there isnt one then this is even worse than Bakugo reviving just because the fanbase wouldn't stop bitching.

Now that's one thing, the other is how funny it is that Resonance is somehow able to do major damage to Sukuna, considering all that it did to Mahito was some cough and blood back in Shibuya.

Anyways, 4 more to go. I am glad this is almost over because at this point a 6/10 is a bit generous in my book.

I would like to formally apologize to Nobara Kugisaki and her faithful believers for my unfortunate words, declaring it was clear she was dead and that there was no way she would come back. Gege Akutami lied to me and I believed him, and for that I am truly sorry.
I'm so glad you're back and rocking a cool eyepatch girl. (Now I only wish she was in the Culling Game 'cause she would've been great there but oh well. Can we talk about how good she looks in Gege's current artstyle tho?)
Now Gojo's coming back next right? Right?

everyone bitching and moaning at the fact nobara is back are the same losers that wouldn’t bat an eye if gojo returned. it was inevitable, the most certain comeback within the series by far hell todo practically solidified her status. each appearance has meant something during shinjuku showdown and everyone has had some sort of trump card this was just the best moment for her to shine.
an entrance thats befitting to her absolute masterclass gege has done everything possible on setting up her return and now readers wanna act dumb.

I remember writing in one of the previous chapters that how this author could even go and revive Nobara just to make her the nth character who fought against Sukuna in this arc, but deep down I still had faith that he cares about his series and would not do this, though turns out he doesn’t give a fuck. I mean if this is his way to sUrPRisE people and convince everyone this comeback had the making of past, god knows how many chapters, then this is the dumbest thing I’ve read this whole year.

And people make fun of series like fairy tail. Now can’t wait to see Nanami and Mechamaru returning next chapter and providing their overdue contributions in this never ending “this is the climax, for sure” arc.

What a nothing plot twist.

- Gege gives her a dramatic death with a last minute backstory.
- A side character then says she's most likely dead, but could also be alive (a completely nothing statement).
- Don't have any characters mention her for 100+ chapters except for a ridiculous conversation between Yuji and Megumi where they don't say anything substantial and just look sad at each other.
- Reveal that she woke up 30 minutes before the 'killing' blow and was essential to finishing Sukuna off.

It's not even a plot twist, they are just finally giving us crucial information at the very last minute for shock value. Gege, what a man you are.

even as a nobara fan, this doesn't do anything for me anymore, should've just committed to the death at this point. crazy to think about how little time has moved in the last couple hundred chapters though like bru, that decision is the reason why this manga has felt so stagnant for forever now.

i dunno why gege the genius didn't bring her back sooner give her fights flesh her character out more like how he did to yuji and megumi, atp shounen jump should not add female mc to their stories cuz they don't know how to use them, i know gege will prob explain why she's been MIA but adding her back now this late in the game is a dumb move by far

So Gege
- killed her off
- gave us one conversation about her from which only an idiot wouldnt assume that she was dead
- brought her back at the very end of the final battle
And I thought that Bakugo fake out death was ass
What a shame that a fucking "heavy hitter" didnt show up in this fight, but I guess Nobara is better plot device for that one eyed cat

@Pakumen- It actually affected Mahito's soul though, there's only a few characters that can actually do it, and Nobara's technique is one of those, it didn't do more damage because he neutralized her quickly, but Mahito states Nobara is also his natural enemy. So, considering Sukuna's frail state in Megumi's body of course it would hurt him a lot.

Even if I'm kinda iffy on the fact there's only a few chapters left and almost no room for developing her character, I think, in her case, it mostly works because she always was a complete person. Since the beginning, we knew the reason why she killed curses, plus, the narrative doesn't really questions her ideals at all, we mostly see how Megumi and Itadori change her, but her ideals in of itself stay the same. For me, she's more of a representation of what happens when Jujutsu Sorcerers are dehumanized, I feel like, symbolically, she's sort of an extension of Haibara, but now, for our main characters. So, when she returns, is actually a result of Yuji finally finding value in life and breaking the vicious cycle Jujutsu society imposes, which is thematically interesting even if I wished Gege looked at her more as an actual character than a plot device/symbol to further emphasize the story's themes. However, all in all, I think it works. Now that the manga is almost over, it's clear to me this was always his intention, so at the end of the day it comes more to what I wish he would have done Vs. what he intended to do in the first place. So, in my opinion, it not only works thematically but also is in line with what he presented until now, which makes me kind of love this decision.

I don't know if it's actually genius or absolutely idiotic to bring back the character who has been dead for years only for manga to end 4 chapters later.

Oh and she looks exactly like memers drawn her, come on where is half-face scar Gege

I am not mad, just... dunno dissapointed? Many people could tell it's fakeout but what was the point lying to Yuji about her being dead?? What the point bringing her back NOW when the manga is basically over?!
