In the current chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, chapter 251, fans are left wondering what happened to Nobara Kugisaki. Her apparent death in the Shibuya Incident Arc shocked readers to their core. She was a popular character.
But is it the end for Nobara, or is there a chance she’ll come back? Here’s everything you need to know.
What happened in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 251
One of the strongest Jujutsu sorcerers alive, Yuta Okkotsu, faces the King of Curses, Sukuna, in a full-blown fight in Chapter 251. In the first pages of the chapter, as Yuta was utilizing the Cleave technique on the powerful villain, he mentioned that Sukuna had most likely eaten his last finger in the time between Gojo Satoru’s return and this chapter.
This apparent confirmation erased the last logical reason for Nobara’s return to the storyline and fans accepted the reality that she would not appear in the manga or anime again. Even though this is a devastating update, many are not shocked because Mangaka Gege Akutami is known for killing popular characters in the manga.
Also, the manga’s plotline has advanced so far without Nobara that her return may confuse things and cause the storyline to lose its logic.
