Before we learn how Nobara rewrote her fate and came back from the dead, here's a quick recap of the events that left her in such a terminal state. Similar to other Jujutsu High wizards, Nobara was also present during the Shibuya incident. In his desperate attempt to bring home a huge victory for the Wizards' team by defeating Mahito, Nobara was outwitted by him.

Mahito persuaded her by switching places with his clone, and he gave Nobara a fatal blow to the face with his cursed transformation technique. It was a clean hit that cracked half of Nobara's face and caused her to lose her left eye. As a result, Nobara collapsed to the ground and it seemed Nobara ran out of time and luck.
