In Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 63, following their brutal battle with the Death Painting Wombs, Yuji Itadori checks on Nobara Kugisaki, who, though injured and scarred, insists she’s fine. She jokes about needing Shoko Ieiri’s healing and quickly notices Yuji’s troubled demeanor. When Yuji asks if it’s her first time killing a person instead of exorcising a curse, Nobara answers coolly, affirming that jujutsu sorcerers must follow their own moral compass, even if it means taking a life.
Despite understanding the necessity of their actions, Yuji admits he’s unsettled by Eso’s grief for his brother, a moment that makes both sorcerers reflect on their roles and the cost of survival in their world.
Back at the bridge, the two find Megumi unconscious but safe. After he awakens, relieved and grateful to see them alive, they scold him for scaring them. Megumi then reveals he recovered a Sukuna finger that needs sealing. When Yuji casually offers to consume it, both Megumi and Nobara protest, uncertain how many cursed objects Yuji’s body can endure. The trio then prepares for their next move, bound even tighter by their shared trials and hard choices.
