Fans create an unexpected collab between Jujutsu Kaisen and Fortnite in the event of Nobara's death

Episode 19 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 bid farewell to one of the series's main characters, Nobara Kugisaki. She met her untimely end at the hands of the Cursed Spirit Mahito after being hit in the face with his Idle Transfiguration technique. It caused half of her face to blow up, leading her to collapse on the floor, seemingly dead as a result of the attack.

Furthermore, her death came right after the tragic demise of Kento Nanami, which caused an immense amount of grief in the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom. While most fans were mourning the loss of their favorite characters, some fans tried to lighten up the situation by recreating the moment of Nobara's death in the popular game Fortnite.

Shortly after Jujutsu Kaisen started airing its second season, Epic Games announced a collaboration with the popular anime in Fortnite. Characters such as Satoru Gojo, Megumi Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori, and Nobara Kugisaki were all available in the game as playable skins. Fans were delighted to get the chance to play the game as their favorite characters.

Shortly after the airing of Nobara's death, a video clip went viral on social media, where a player using Nobara's skin on Fortnite could be seen engaging some enemies in a shootout. As the enemy fired back at the player, the clip transitioned to Nobara's death in the anime, where she collapsed from Mahito's attack.

This instance is not uncommon in fandom, as fans often try to remain as positive as they can in the event of their favorite character's death. The Shibuya Incident arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, in particular, has taken a toll on its viewers, as things look worse for the protagonists with each passing episode.
