Who killed Nobara?

In Jujutsu Kaisen, Nobara Kugisaki is not confirmed to be dead as of the most recent chapters. However, she is severely injured during the Shibuya Incident, which leads to speculation about her fate.

What Happened to Nobara?

During the Shibuya Incident arc, Nobara faces off against Mahito, a cursed spirit, and Hana Kurusu. Mahito uses his Idle Transfiguration technique to severely injure Nobara, causing significant damage to her body. She is left in a state where her injuries are so grave that she appears to be on the verge of death. However, the full extent of her condition hasn't been confirmed as death, as she has not been shown to fully die on screen.

Key Details about Nobara's Fate:

  • Nobara's Injury: In her battle with Mahito, Nobara sustains serious injuries, including a crushed skull and severe wounds to her body. At one point, it appears that her head was disfigured, but it's unclear whether she's alive or dead. Her injuries are so severe that the possibility of her being dead is heavily implied, but it's left somewhat ambiguous.

  • Current Status: As of the latest chapters (in the manga), Nobara's status remains uncertain. While many fans believe she could be dead, there has been no definitive confirmation yet. There are still hints in the storyline that Nobara could be revived or that she could still be alive, though in a very weakened state.

Who Was Responsible for Nobara's Injury?

  • Mahito: It was Mahito who inflicted the injury on Nobara during the battle. He used his Idle Transfiguration ability to distort Nobara's body, causing irreparable damage.

  • Hana Kurusu: While Hana does not kill Nobara, she does have an important role in the events leading up to Nobara's injury.

Could Nobara Come Back?

There are some theories about Nobara’s possible return to the story:

  • Cursed Techniques: There are characters in Jujutsu Kaisen who can manipulate or heal injuries using cursed techniques. For instance, Yuta Okkotsu, with his Reversed Cursed Technique, could potentially heal Nobara. However, this remains speculative, and the outcome of Nobara's fate is still unresolved in the current plot.

Conclusion:

As of now, Nobara is not officially dead, though her condition is dire. Mahito is the one who caused the injuries that put her in such a state. The fans are eagerly waiting for the manga to reveal more about her fate and whether she will return or be confirmed as deceased.
