This article includes spoilers for the manga “Jujutsu Kaisen”. Reader discretion is advised.

As we have mentioned in previous articles, although the magazine Weekly Shonen Jump It is published every Monday in Japan, but since some people have access to copies that are sent in advance to certain stores in the country, this facilitates the proliferation of leaks (also known as 'leaks'). And that is precisely what unites us today, because Leaks for the next chapter of “Jujutsu Kaisen” have confirmed something that fans refused to believe.

As Ryomen Sukuna and Yuji Itadori continue their fight and are the protagonists of this next chapter, There was one detail that fans couldn't ignore and that became even more relevant than the fight itself: the confirmation of Nobara Kugisaki's death.

Yes, Nobara lost her life in the Shibuya Incident Arc and Megumi Fushiguro herself confirmed this fact shortly after, but for some reason, fans refused to believe this and were hopeful that “the ultimate Jujutsu Kaisen waifu” would return at some point.

But as the chapters progressed and slowly approached the final conclusion of the story, Nobara neither appeared nor was mentioned again, until now. In the chapter leaks we can see that Itadori remembers his deceased friends, including Choso, Satoru Gojo and Nobara Kugisaki herself. This is author Gege Akutami's confirmation that Nobara is definitely dead.

This has been a bucket of cold water for those who continued to insist that the author had plans to bring in Nobara Kugisaki by surprise to join Itadori in his fight against Sukuna. In fact, it's as if the author knew that there were fans who denied the character's death, and decided to dedicate this simple page to them in order to silence them completely. Although, of course, there was no shortage of comments:

• «It took years for them to finally accept his death.».
• «Everyone knew she had been dead for a long time, they just didn't want to accept it.».
• «I have a little “background” for you… from Yuji’s perspective, she’s dead. Megumi didn’t confirm it when asked. Obviously, she’s probably already disappeared, but she could still show up.».
• «Gege got another female character wrong, what's new?».
• «What's with Gege killing off undeveloped characters, especially someone who was supposed to be one of the protagonists?».
• «I have to accept it, no matter how hard I try not to, she's officially gone and it's Megumi's fault.».
• «Thank god I stopped watching after season 2. Nobara, Nanami, Gojo, etc. But they killed them and captured Gojo».
• «LISTEN! LISTEN! This is just Yuji's consciousness, it doesn't confirm his death. This was just to prepare for Nobara and Gege's return, ensuring that we remember her.».
• «I've been denying it for FOUR years and Gege Akutami confirms it this way».
• «No, Gege is really savage. Made them think she was alive but she's actually gone, lmaoo».
• «I wish Gege had told us directly what happened. What was the point of saying she was stable if she was dead the whole time?».
• «My love for her may have made me delirious, but my heart was loyal, she was just in a coma.».
• «This is also a confirmation that either Megumi or Yuji will also die at some point, if Gege isn't lying about the "either everyone survives or all but one dies" statement.».
• «I can't believe I waited 4 years to get confirmation».
• «They said she would be the best girl in Shounen Jump».
• «Mahito literally only failed one person, who he wasn't allowed to transform, and that was the guy who cut off his arm before that could happen 100%.».
