The Jujutsu Kaisen anime and manga are at an all-time high in terms of success as the series is going through a major arc and fans have never been more excited for it. While both anime and manga have been rowing through the stream of success, some moments were not appreciated by the fans in the manga series. One of them was the creator Gege Akutami did not justify the role of Kugisaki Nobara in the manga series. However, they have managed to provide some justice to the characters in the anime series.
MAPPA Studios, under the guidance of Gege Akutami, has incorporated several anime-original sequences to either correct or elevate the manga circumstances in Jujutsu Kaisen including the role of Kugisaki Nobara.

Kugisaki Nobara’s Character in Jujutsu Kaisen
Kugisaki Nobara is one of the main characters in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. She is a first-year student and grade 3 jujutsu sorcerer at Tokyo Jujutsu High, training under Satoru Gojo alongside Yuji and Megumi. Jujutsu High has classified Nobara as a grade 3 jujutsu sorcerer. This is largely owing to her status as a first-year student and her lack of experience working as a sorcerer. She had the potential to be a good sorcerer.
Nobara possesses a large supply of cursed energy and is skilled at harnessing it. Nobara’s nails are always filled with her cursed energy, allowing her to elevate them for convenient pounding. She can even utilize cursed tactics to increase the amount of cursed energy around them.
She demonstrated her power and ability, confirming that Nobara was the appropriate candidate to be nominated for a promotion to grade one. However, during the Shibuya arc in the Jujutsu Kaisen Manga, Nobara was deeply foreshadowed by Shigemo and fans were not happy with it.

Kugisaki Nobara’s Character Finally Got Justice in Jujutsu Kaisen Anime
Following her achievements in the Death Painting Arc, many fans expected Nobara to play an important role in the Shibuya Incident arc. However, despite being nominated for a promotion to grade one, Nobara failed to create an impression. The anime adaptation of Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shibuya Incident arc, on the other hand, has somewhat rehabilitated Nobara. In the most recent episode of the anime, Nobara went full throttle against Haruta Shigemo. In the manga, Nobara was unable to counter a hit to Shigemo. She was completely defeated before being rescued by Nanami.
Although the anime adaptation of Gege Akutami’s manga did not change the outcome of the battle, it did award Nobara with some justice by allowing her to hold her footing against Shigemo.
