The Jujutsu Kaisen the cast is widely popular. This is not a surprise, like the original Jujutsu Kaisen the manga is one of the most successful series ever and fans have grown attached to the characters over the years.

“Life wasn't so bad!” — Nobara

While Modulo's focus is certainly next generation, Gege keeps surprising readers. lately Nobara Kugisaki made a great comeback. Nobara Kugisaki was part of the main trio Jujutsu Kaisen series, alongside Yuji and Megumi. She certainly wasn't a character many expected to return. after all after 68 years she should be 80 years old.

As he confirmed Jujutsu Kaisen module Chapter 13, Nobara is alive and good She was seen again as the search for Yuji continues. In the chapter, Nobara was asked about Yuji's whereabouts, to which she said that she hadn't seen him since the last funeral.

WITH Nobara's returnmany fans are wondering how much he will be involved in the story. Gege may have more in store for her, but she's unlikely to be a central character. Nobara is too old to fight and the new generation has focused.

She can be seen in brief instances here and there, but fans shouldn't expect her to play a major role. At least fans are hoping that Gege will take a close-up photo of her since she was only seen from a distance in the last chapter of the manga.

Nobara is one of the few characters that Gege brought back to JJK Modulo. The first characters that fans saw in the manga sequel were Yuta and Makiand of course it makes sense. The new protagonists are, after all, their grandchildren. Unfortunately, they were only seen briefly before their deaths were announced.

Yet, Jujutsu Kaisen module fans enjoyed the return of old characters. The return of Yuji and Nobara has lit up the fandom and there is definitely potential for more returns. With Yuji and Nobara back, it only makes sense for Gege to complete the trio again by showing off Megumi in Modulo.

“My name is Nobara Kugisaki. Be happy guys, I'm a female in your group.” — Nobara

Megumi can return for a brief momentif he is still alive. Apart from him, the fans are also looking forward to it The return of Sukuna, whose finger was once again brought back into the storybut whether or not Gege will take that path again remains to be seen.
