Jujutsu Kaisen Shibuya Incident was intense, with major characters getting seriously hurt or dying. The creator, Geje Akutami, doesn’t shy away from killing characters in the story.
Some important characters, Nobara and Nanami died in recent anime episodes, impacting Yuji’s character development in the series. Nobara’s fate is uncertain after her apparent death while fighting Mahito.
In the anime, Nobara’s death in the Shibuya Incident is shown. After doing justice to Nobara’s departure, the latest episode even pays tribute to Nanami’s death with an added anime-original scene.
Jujutsu Kaisen Anime Honors Nanami With A Special Scene
In the latest episode of the anime, Nobara died at the hands of Yuji. Before her death, the series depicted the demise of Yuji’s mentor, Nanami, in episode 18, which left fans in tears.
Now, with Nobara’s death in the latest episode, Jujutsu Kaisen also included an anime-original scene. In this scene, Nanami was shown, serving as a tribute to his death.
A fan (@biyuuji) noticed this and shared it on Twitter/X, providing the scene from the recent episodes of Nanami’s death and the post-death scene from the anime.

The user observed that Nanami’s death scene was exactly the same: the same line said by Nanami and the same angle at the airport. This scene added honor to his death, prompting Yuji to confront curses like Mahito on his own.
After Nobara’s death in the episode, Yuji became even sadder, blaming himself for the deaths of his comrades and the events that occurred in Shibuya.
In the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, when characters die, it’s usually made clear what happened to them. However, noone knows what happened to Nobara yet. In the latest manga chapters, there’s been no information about her fate. Some fans think she might come back, and here’s why:
Will Nobara Comeback in Jujutsu Kaisen?
In the latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen anime, a Jujutsu Sorcerer named Arata Nitta arrived with Todo Aoi. Unlike most sorcerers, he can heal injuries using his cursed technique, but he can’t bring people back to life. What he did for Nobara was freeze her body and injuries using his technique. This means her body is stuck in the moments just after she died.
This gives hope that someone with the power of Reverse Cursed Techniques, like Okkotsu Yuta or Shoko Ieiri, could heal her and maybe even bring her back to life. However, we don’t know if any other sorcerers reached her in time. So, there’s still uncertainty about what will happen to Nobara.
