Jujutsu Kaisen Foreshadowed Nobara's Return Ages Ago With a Special Teaser Trailer

As a dedicated fan who has witnessed the rollercoaster of emotions that Jujutsu Kaisen has delivered, I can confidently say that Gege Akutami’s knack for shocking twists and turns is unparalleled. The revelation of Nobara Kugisaki’s survival after the Shibuya Incident was a testament to this very fact.


Gege Akutami, the mastermind behind “Jujutsu Kaisen”, isn’t hesitant to eliminate significant characters in his action-packed supernatural series. The Shibuya Incident Arc, during the anime adaptation’s second season, claimed lives of both heroes and villains. A key character, Nobara Kugisaki, suffered a gruesome attack from Mahito that left her face disfigured on one side. Just before the series ended, Akutami surprised fans by revealing that Nobara had miraculously survived Shibuya. In a previous promotional video, some attentive viewers speculated that Nobara’s return was hinted at.

A significant amount of time has elapsed in the shonen series since Nobara sustained a life-threatening wound. When Studio MAPPA finally releases the third season, it’s important to note that Kugisaki will likely not play a role in it because she was absent during the Culling Game Arc. During this storyline, Suguru Geto’s plans were set in motion, leading to numerous cursed energy users competing for supremacy and an equal number of curses wreaking havoc across Japan. As a result of the Shibuya Incident Arc, Yuji Itadori has become a marked man by Jujutsu Tech, and it’s been confirmed that his executioner is Yuta Okkotsu.

Nobara’s Return Was Broadcast

About nine months back, the music group Eve produced a video tribute for Jujutsu Kaisen, and it was jam-packed with original art by Gege Akutami from the series itself. Among the many captivating visuals, there’s one that has some of us speculating about Gojo potentially making a comeback – much like his female student did, hinting at a possible resurrection.

Friends, here’s some exciting news: Nobara is back!

Can you imagine the implications? …These developments were hinted at in the music video.

Next up, it seems, is Gojo. #JJK267

The manga “Jujutsu Kaisen” is nearing its conclusion, with just a handful of chapters remaining before it wraps up. Author Akutami has shown a knack for introducing unexpected twists, so fans should brace themselves for some significant surprises. With a probable ending in September, unless there are any brief pauses, readers have been busy guessing which characters will emerge victorious and which ones might meet their end battling Sukuna, the ruler of the curses. Despite Nobara’s return from the dead, it doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll escape unscathed in the final chapter.

Keep up with the pupils of Jujutsu Tech until the finale? Stay updated with Team Anime on ComicBook to catch the recent news about Yuji Itadori and his comrades who wield cursed energy.
