Fans have been speculating about Nobara Kugisaki's fate ever since Mahito attacked her eye in the Shibuya Incident arc of Jujutsu Kaisen. The anime hinted that she was on the brink of death, but did not confirm whether she survived or not. This has left fans uncertain about what happened to her character.
Nobara Kugisaki was engaged in a battle with Mahito's clone during the Shibuya Incident Arc. The clone, realizing its weakness against Nobara, switched with another version of itself, allowing Mahito to deliver a fatal blow to Nobara. This turn of events led fans to believe that Nobara may have met her end.

Nobara Kugisaki will not be making a return in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. This is because she has not yet made an appearance in the manga after her defeat in the Shibuya Incident Arc.
After Nobara Kugisaki was defeated by Mahito, Arata Nitta came to her aid. He provided emergency treatment and revealed to Yuji Itadori that he had used his special technique on Nobara's wounds. By treating her relatively new wounds, his technique ensured that her chances of survival were not completely eliminated.

Despite this, he advised Yuji not to get his hopes up too high for Nobara, as her chances of survival were still slim. This event occurred in chapter 128 of the manga. Currently, Jujutsu Kaisen manga has published over 250 chapters, and Nobara Kugisaki has yet to make a comeback in the series.
Therefore, if MAPPA animation studio sticks to the original material while adapting the anime, it is unlikely that Nobara Kugisaki will make a return in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. However, there is a possibility that MAPPA could include some anime-original scenes as flashbacks for Nobara in the upcoming season. Nevertheless, this is purely speculation as there is no evidence to support this possibility.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is set to cover three story arcs from the manga. These include Itadori's Extermination Arc, Perfect Preparation Arc, and Culling Game Arc.
While the anime didn't specifically confirm adapting Itadori's Extermination Arc and Perfect Preparation Arc, it did confirm the adaptation of the Culling Game Arc. Considering the order of arcs, it makes sense for MAPPA to animate the remaining two arcs as well.

Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 may see special-grade Jujutsu sorcerer, Yuta Okkotsu, hunting down Yuji to eliminate him. However, since Yuji is the main character, he will probably escape death once more. Therefore, in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, we may learn how Yuta assists Yuji in evading his demise.
After that, the anime could move on to the notorious Culling Game. This would lead to various battles where fans can watch Yuji, Megumi, Yuta, and other characters face off against sorcerers and curses.
