JJK Episode 43 Recap
In Episode 43 of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled “Right and Wrong, Part 2,” Nobara utilized resonance against Mahito’s doppelgänger, causing injuries to both the duplicate and the original. Realizing she was in combat with a copy, Nobara momentarily lowered her guard while pursuing the double into a station.
Inside the station, the authentic and fake Mahito swiftly converged and executed a rapid switch. The real Mahito touched Nobara’s face, resulting in the explosion of her left eye. A flashback provided insights into Nobara’s past life in her village with her friends Fumi and Saori, offering context to her strong desire to escape to Tokyo.
In her final moments, Nobara requested Yuji to reassure everyone that her life had been fulfilling and not as bleak as it might appear. Yuji, witnessing Nobara’s collapse to the ground, was horrified as she succumbed to her fatal injuries.

Yuji’s fury towards Mahito has intensified, fueled by the villain’s reprehensible acts, including the distressing deaths of Junpei and Nanami. This anger has propelled Yuji into a merciless assault on the curse over the last few episodes. However, with the profound connection he shared with Nobara as one of his closest friends, the grief stemming from her death might surpass his previous emotions, urging him into an even more intense battle. Nevertheless, this devastating loss could potentially leave him shattered, making him susceptible to Mahito’s control. In such a scenario, someone else might have to step in, introducing the possibility of disappointment for viewers.
Amidst the reported production challenges at Studio MAPPA, the quality of the upcoming episodes in the season remains uncertain. However, recent episodes have showcased exceptional animation, instilling optimism in fans for exciting moments ahead. If Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode #20 maintains the high standards of the series’ most gripping battles, it holds the promise of being another outstanding addition to the Shibuya Incident arc.
