The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen left fans in shock with the brutal fate of Nobara Kugisaki during the Shibuya Incident Arc. Since then, the question remains: Is Nobara alive in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3?

In the final stretch of Shibuya, Mahito tricks the sorcerers by switching places with his clone. In this way, he directly strikes Nobara with the Idle Transfiguration Technique. The scene is intense, marked by memories of the past and a brief farewell, leading many to believe in his definitive death.
However, the anime intentionally keeps the situation ambiguous. Immediately after the attack, Arata Nitta states that Nobara may still be alive, albeit with minimal chances. Later, in the third season, Yuji Itadori questions Megumi Fushiguro about her condition, but the answer remains undefined.
On the other hand, those who follow the manga know the truth. Nobara survives, but remains out of combat for the entire third season. Her recovery only happens later, confirming that the character is still alive in the manga's universe.
Meanwhile, her absence reinforces the darker tone of the anime's current phase. Still, fans can rest assured: Nobara Kugisaki's story hasn't ended definitively and she should return in future seasons.
