Things to remember in that scene 1) It has only been a few days since the injury occurred, Megumi has only seen her on the verge of death and still barely hanging on. 2) He thinks she is going to die, and doesn't think her prognosis is good. 3) With the above, he doesn't want to give Yuji false hope when he himself does not believe she will make it. Yuji interprets all that as her being dead even though it's not necessarily true, that's how the scene always came across to me Until it is explicitly said in text she is dead, she isn't out.

Nobara popping up again and being all like "gently caress you, you pulled this poo poo on us too." would be amazing. Especially since there's a missing Sukuna finger so she could come in clutch.. That said, Gege could still just drop it entirely and I would be disappointed.

Asuron posted:The reason he hasn’t brought her back yet is likely for some big reveal or cathartic moment.It hasn’t even been that long (in story and out) since she’s been out of the game, just chill. Nobara hasn’t been in this series for like two years. The tankobon with her getting hosed up was released in January of 2021. It’s been about 100 chapters since she has shown up. So while it’s been like two weeks or something in the manga, it’s a pretty long time out here.

Dunno man, I’ve been exposed to so many works of fiction where this is common, I really am not bothered by it?it’s fairly common I’ve found. It’s not uncommon for characters fates like in One Piece for example, to go unknown for really long periods of time and then show up later for big moments. Maybe my tolerance of it is just skewed because of it, but two years in a manga really doesn’t feel like a big deal to me.

Not really an equivalent comparison when wano started up two months after jjk’s first chapter, it would be like sanji sitting out for 400 chapters straight

Nobara's brain exploded so I expect she's just not in there even if she's alive.

Plus loads of side character who we just don't see for large gaps of time such as Shanks or Blackbeard. Feels pretty equivalent? We also have other works like Hunter x Hunter where the main character has been completely sidelined and many characters are offscreen for long periods of time before reappearing. Those are just a few examples off the top of my head. Like I said, it's not uncommon in fictional works for stuff like this to happen and for it to happen over a long period of time.

I'm guessing she was going to come back but then Gege realized he had to end the manga soon due to health issues, so now she's in limbo

The issue people had was with that it has been a long time since she appeared. I’m addressing that and I even gave examples of moments where a characters fate was unknown for long periods of time. Don’t know why you are trying for a gotcha moment even though that was pretty clear.

I don’t think you can really compare Nobara’s absence to Sanji or whoever cause JJK and One Piece are in different parts of their story. We’re in the final arc and Nobara’s nowhere to be seen. There’s set up for a super rad reveal with her cursed tech and sukuna’s last finger but it still sucks that she’d have such a tiny sliver of screentime compared to literally everyone else.

I think it would be less annoying if they didn't half rear end it. Either she is coming back or all the pussyfooting around giving actual stated confirmation sucks. I think all the annoyance is that the plot beats are super unsubtle so poo poo like 'megumi says nothing but Yuji assumes' feels like it is dragging it out. Even if they were keeping her survival a secret It'd be more impactful if Megumi lied instead so at least people are surprised.

Did I miss a panel or something? IIRC the last time we actually see her, it's just like half of her face, and eye, exploding. I was always confused why people assumed she died just because it just looked to me like the skin on her face had exploded off which is pretty survivable all things considered.

It's also possible that using RCT to heal the burn out is having a side effect. Anyway agreed, I don't think Gojo has got this. Sukuna is just better at Jujutsu even if he does not have as strong a technique.

Could also be that Sukuna has been adapting to the six eyes with Mahoraga, meaning that Gojo can’t use the eyes to minimise his cursed energy usage. Whatever has happened, Sukuna has found a way to sue the adaptation power without the summon which means Gojo is almost certainly done here

It's possible he has been hiding the Wheel somehow the whole fight.

gojo should be able to see the dharmachakra unless hiding it in your shadow renders it undetectable or something. But he also shouldn't have any idea that using Makora this way is possible since it's stated that no previous user has ever exorcised Makora.
