Nobara Kugisaki 's controversial appearance in the final battle against Sukuna in the Jujutsu Kaisen brought an unexpected revelation. After suffering a fatal blow in his fight against Mahito , Nobara was absent for four years.
The few mentions of the character during this period suggested her death rather than a return. However, Gege Akutami , the series' creator, saved Nobara as a final trump card against Sukuna. Resonance technique was shown to be powerful enough to cause severe damage to the enemy when hitting any part of their body.
In the clash, Nobara hits Sukuna, further aggravating his already weakened condition. This paves the way for Yuji and Megumi to finish off the villain, with Yuji delivering the final blow while the newly saved Megumi offers support. After the battle, Nobara receives a letter from Satoru Gojo , who reveals that he has found her mother. Interestingly, Akutami introduces Nobara's mother only in the epilogue, indicating deliberate planning to end the story in an impactful way.
Nobara meets her mother in the epilogue of Jujutsu Kaisen
The 16-page highlights Nobara , Yuko , Panda , and Uraume, dedicating four pages to each. Nobara reacts with irritation upon hearing about her mother, showing indifference towards the irresponsible figure she hasn't seen in years. Still, out of respect for Gojo's last wish, she decides to organize the meeting. Raised by her maternal grandmother, who possessed a certain cursed energy, Nobara managed to facilitate the meeting.
A complex and conflict-filled relationship
In the epilogue, Nobara's mother admits to having been a talentless sorceress. Nobara, however, counters that the real problem was not her lack of skill as a sorceress, but as a mother. Apparently, the woman continues to lead a disorderly life, taking advantage of rich, young men.
In an unusual moment, Nobara decides to bring her grandmother to the meeting. To her mother's dismay, the grandmother appears with a stern expression, ready to confront her daughter for her irresponsibility. Although reconciliation between mother and daughter is impossible, the meeting offers emotional closure for Nobara, ending a troubled relationship with a touch of comic relief in the epilogue of Jujutsu Kaisen .
