Jujutsu Kaisen delivered one of the most impactful and emotional moments in anime history. In episode 42 of the second season, Nanami Kento , one of the most beloved characters, met her end in a brutal way.
Burned alive by the cursed spirit Jogo and finished by Mahito's transfiguration, his death was as unexpected as it was symbolic, cementing the anime as an emotional masterpiece.
Nanami's sacrifice was not in vain. He gave his life to save Megumi and other young jujutsu sorcerers. His final scene was a perfect ending to his character arc, showcasing his personal growth and turning the moment into an unforgettable classic. From the beginning, Nanami stood out for her aversion to overwork, preferring to follow strict schedules and escape exhaustion. However, in the Shibuya Incident , he set aside his preferences to embrace selfless heroism.
In her final moments, Nanami imagined the paradise beach in Malaysia where she planned to retire. Although even in the face of unbearable pain, he accepted his fate with serenity, finding peace in his fantasy. The harrowing phrase, “I've done enough, haven't I?”, said by him, reflects the weight of his choices and his evolution as a character. Despite having already done more than necessary, Nanami continued to fight for the greater good.
Finally, Nanami's death was a respectful farewell and full of symbolism. He proved to be a true hero, willing to do anything to protect others. Although he is gone, his trajectory will live on as one of the most exciting in Jujutsu Kaisen .
