How could Nobara match Yuji and Megumi

This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen's Final Arc.

Summary

• Nobara is the least developed character in JJK, lacking the attention given to Yuji as a protagonist.

• Nobara still has a lot of potential and could catch Yuji and Megumi with polished techniques.

• Nobara's growth and chance to shine in JJK's future may depend on potential spin-offs or spin-offs from the manga's conclusion.

From the very beginning Jujutsu Kaisenfans could tell that Nobara was going to be extremely important. After all, she was part of the main three in the story, who, as usual in shonen series, drove the plot forward more than anyone else. That said, Nobara being a woman certainly made fans wonder if the author would be able to accommodate her or not. In Shonen series, female characters are often sidelined and not given as much attention as the other main characters. Even the main female characters are often treated below average. Unfortunately, Jujutsu Kaisen he did just that.

It has to be said that Nobara is one of the worst written female characters in Shonen history and the author failed to do her character justice, especially after cutting her out of most of the story and only bringing her back for about three. chapters before the end. That said, Nobara still has a lot of potential, and if JJK were ever to continue, fans could see her catch up to the other two, assuming the writer actually puts some effort into fixing everything that's wrong with her progression.

Yuji Itadori, Nobara and Megumi's progress in JJK

• Yuji Itadori was given the most attention as the protagonist

• Nobara was the least known character

Jujutsu Kaisen is definitely a fantastic story and while it has many flaws, it still has a lot of incredibly interesting elements that fans have come to love over the years. From exciting battles to cathartic scenes, JJK has many things to proudly display. But the progression of the main characters, especially the next generation ones like Yuji and Megumi, was definitely not his highlight. It's safe to say that Yuji was handled far better than the other two characters, but that's to be expected considering he's the main character. However, even in the case of this main character, the author definitely did not succeed as he could have. The vast majority of Yuji's growth came in the last few chapters of the manga, which just goes to show how rushed this development was.

As for Megumi, fans know that even though he carried a lot of potential, something he was known for JJK community, he could never really live up to it. Megumi hadn't even completed his domain and the vast majority of his power remained unexplored. In the Shibuya Incident arc, Megumi took over Sukun's body and from that point until the very end of the story, Megumi remained under Sukun's control only to be freed at the end. As such, Megumi's progress was also greatly halted.

Nobara's case was the worst of the three. While the other two got some moments here and there in the story, Nobara was only focused on the beginning. Fans were very hopeful to see how Nobara's character progressed in the early parts of the story. However, as JJK continued, it became increasingly clear that she wasn't going to be that important.

In fact, she was assumed to be dead in the Shibuya incident arc, and the author never focused on her in the story from that point until the very end. Nobara returned only a few chapters before the story closed, dealt one blow to Sukun and called it a day. While her return was certainly not out of the question, given that there were always hints of her eventual return, the timing was completely off and fans definitely didn't appreciate it.

How Nobara can catch up with others

It goes without saying that Nobara is pretty powerful right now. Of course, she's not as strong as Yuji, or even Yuta, but she certainly has a lot of potential. Gojo once said that the next generation will not stop at Special Grade.

Of course, they didn't even make it to the special grade, which is another sign of poor writing, but at least they still have that potential.

A lot of what happens to Nobara's character depends on how the story develops from here on out. The manga is officially over, but that doesn't mean it is JJK sometimes he gets another side story. It is quite common for authors to often write side stories following the conclusion of the main stories, and JJK is no different in this regard. Of course, Gege wants to draw a different story, but the possibility of a JJK one-off or a spin-off miniseries shouldn't be ruled out. If that happens and it focuses on the events after the wizards graduate, then it's safe to say that Nobara will have his chance to shine. Fans were able to see her get all the attention she truly deserves, especially after enduring a very difficult time in the original series.

As for how Nobara can catch up to the other two, that can only be done by perfecting her technique. The straw doll technique is very powerful, and the biggest advantage of this technique is that it targets the enemies' souls directly. Nobara is one of the hardest soul hitters in JJK, probably second only to Yuji. This makes her a huge threat to the vast majority of fighters in the story, and fans know that she could very well continue to improve this technique of hers and develop it significantly.

If Nobara manages to acquire the basic skills that are required to be a high-level witch, such as domain amplification, reverse curse technique, and other anti-domain techniques, along with barrier techniques, then fans can expect her to achieve very high level. level. In addition, fans could also see the extension of the Nobara domain. If she ever manages to get a domain extension, then she could certainly be among the elite. Nobara's sure hit technique would hit the enemy's soul directly and in many ways it could be similar to Yuji's Soul Dismantle that he used on Sukuna. Fans have to remember how much damage Yuji did with the sukuna and Nobara could do something similar with her abilities which just proves that she would be very high level if the author really wanted to illustrate her power in the many battles that could come in the future of JJK.

Will Nobara ever get another chance to shine?

The growth of Nobara Kugisaki depends on the future of JJK

Whether or not Nobara ever gets a chance to shine depends largely on what happens JJK. As things stand, there is no confirmation that the story will continue in any way shape or form. However, fans can't hold out hope as writers more often than not tend to write one-offs, spin-offs, or other side stories one way or another. In the event that this actually happens, fans will enjoy seeing Nobara progress significantly in the future.

Epilogue Jujutsu Kaisen was released with its final volume. The final volume of JJK is published in Japan on December 25, 2024. The English version of the volume will be published sometime in 2025.
