In episode 19 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, fans were shocked by the unexpected death of Nobara Kugisaki, a beloved character in the series. The apparent loss of the character has left many fans in mourning, with some even contemplating giving up on the series after the consecutive deaths of Kento Nanami and Nobara. In an effort to lift spirits, some fans have taken to creating an unexpected crossover between the anime and the popular game Fortnite, recreating the moment of Nobara's demise.
Fans create an unexpected collab between Jujutsu Kaisen and Fortnite in the event of Nobara's death
In episode 19 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, the series said goodbye to one of its main characters, Nobara Kugisaki. She met her end at the hands of the Cursed Spirit Mahito, who used his Idle Transfiguration technique to cause half of her face to blow up, leading her to collapse on the floor and appear dead.
This devastating event followed the tragic demise of Kento Nanami, causing a wave of grief among Jujutsu Kaisen fans. Despite the sadness, some fans attempted to lighten the mood by recreating Nobara's death in the popular game Fortnite.
Shortly after the start of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, Epic Games revealed an exciting collaboration with the popular anime in Fortnite. Playable skins of beloved characters like Satoru Gojo, Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori, and Nobara Kugisaki were introduced, much to the delight of fans.

Following the tragic death of Nobara, a video clip quickly spread across social media showing a Fortnite player using Nobara's skin engaging in a shootout with enemies. As the enemies fought back, the clip transitioned to Nobara's death scene in the anime, where she collapsed from Mahito's attack.
This kind of reaction is not uncommon among fans, who often look for ways to stay positive after the death of a beloved character. The Shibuya Incident arc of Jujutsu Kaisen has been particularly difficult for viewers, as the situation continues to worsen for the protagonists with each passing episode.
Does Nobara Kugisaki return to the Jujutsu Kaisen manga?
Despite her apparent demise in the manga, fans are holding out hope for Nobara's eventual return to the story. Although her fate was left uncertain, with a slim chance of survival mentioned, there has been no official confirmation of her passing. So far, Nobara has not made any appearances in the manga following her supposed death at the hands of Mahito. Nonetheless, her fans continue to hold onto hope for her comeback.
Final thoughts
The death of Nobara Kugisaki in the anime was undeniably one of the most shocking moments of the series. Her passing left an indelible mark on the story and served as a significant turning point in Yuji Itadori's life. Having witnessed both Nobara and Nanami's deaths at the hands of Mahito, it had a profound impact on Yuji and the overall direction of the narrative.
Editor's P/S
As a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I was devastated by the death of Nobara Kugisaki. She was one of my favorite characters, and her death was both unexpected and heartbreaking. I was so invested in her story, and I was looking forward to seeing her grow and develop as a character. Her death has left a huge void in the series, and I'm not sure how the show will move on without her.
However, I'm also grateful for the opportunity to have experienced Nobara's character. She was a complex and well-developed character, and her death has had a profound impact on the story. I'm sure that her legacy will continue to live on in the series, and I'm excited to see how her death affects the characters and the plot going forward.
