| lol i was confused too when i first read about it like i keep trying to find some hidden message on it but nope |
| You could say that perhaps Gege plans to bring Nobara back which I honestly would like. |
 |
| Makes you feel bad when a woman dies without saying au revoir to her girl friends. As a male observer. |
| Showing the context behind her line of “there are only so many seats open in my life” back at some point in season 1. Showing what her life looked like before becoming a sorcerer, the lessons she’s learned since then, how she feels about the people currently in her life, showing why she is who she is and what her hopes were for the future/what she strived for, before she was killed. I could get the argument of the placement of that scene being right before she dies being odd, that’s not a rare occurrence but I do wish it happened sooner. There’s definitely reason for the backstory, and is deserved considering her being one of the main trio (or used to be). |
| It means it's final goodbye of Nobara and she won't be coming back. |
| Life flashing before the eyes. |
 |
| Don't care about her backstory that much myself but it's there to more or less make her death more complete. Getting further characterization, introspection, and understanding, so that it closes any lingering plot threads for said character. In Nobara's case, the life in her village is only breifly brought up. So you can think of the whole flashback as her death scene. Death scenes don't typically skip over all of the character drama/thoughts/feelings, right? It's the same concept here. |

No I am asking what relevance does her backstory do or what depth does her backstory add to her character because usually backstories do a lot for characters. For example you can start liking a villain just because of his backstory

Are we asking what is the point of a character's backstory if the character is going to die anyways? Or is this about the timing?
Because the first one should be pretty obvious while the second is what is actually questionable

it's the same as demon slayer and shit like that. character is about to die and the writer didn't bother developing the character organically beforehand so they cram a forced backstory/exposition on them at the very end and then kill them
| @ratliker63 They do explain Nobara's flashback and ideology before this. So it's not quite as egregious as Demon Slayer where it does virtually no character work beforehand. But yea the trope isn't that interesting to me... |
|
| I think it was just her life flashing before her eyes and remembering everything from her life that she lived because before she died she said to itadori: “tell everyone for me: life wasn’t so bad” so I think she was just remembering everything before she died. But ofc I could be wrong, this is just my thought on this. |

| The backstory just shows that her life in the village was trash, and people were creepy and awful, but she managed to find some good ones in Tokyo, before reflecting on her changed perspective on life before she died. Makes sense, as far as showing her journey and development of her feelings go. |
| JJK (and shounen in general) can't function without flashbacks, otherwise the entire show would consist of them staring at each other while they fight. |
 |
| It wants to get you emotionally invested, so you'll hopefully cry or feel sadder about her death. Did it work? For me it didn't, at least |
| Just an uninteresting backstory in a 6/10 battle shonen. |
| All these deaths would be so much more impactful if I cared about these characters at all. |
Tan_2 said: Her backstory felt like a filler addition that added nothing to her character, it wasn’t even memorable. The whole backstory can be summarized to “I grew up in a village, I had a friend, I moved to Tokyo, the end.” I’m not trying to hate but I seriously don’t see what it adds to her character and I find it hard to make a connection with anything that was happening in the jujutsu world. Really boring backstory in my opinion. Saying this with a Tanjiro pfp is wild |
Reply to Phantom_373
I think it was just showing her life flashing before her eyes I don’t think there was much meaning to it, although I could be wrong.
| @Phantom_373 It wasnt really from Nobara's persepctive. It was from her friend's persepective. Its mainly just showing Nobara's life from someone else's persective I think. |
 |
| Question is: why was her flashback told from someone else's perspective? Could've been better if we at least got her internal monologue. |
 |
| I think it's a life flashing before death, so it was used as a way to give her backstory before we never see her again. Nothing deeper than that. I'm not complaining after sitting trough pretty much every Demon Slayer villain go trough the same. |
| idk, it wasn't an interesting backstory, just a normal one. |
 |
| Just an anime trope of trying to cram character development into a character right before they die, instead of taking the time to plan and organically develop the character backstory into the overall narrative. Of course, you couldn't do that with Nobara because she was given little to no screentime in Season 2. This isn't really the fault of the studio, but the author. |
| They did it so we can appreciate nice mountain village. Shots from this village were beautiful to me. I was invested in this backstory and now I want to know more about those two other girls. I didn't believe she would die, I thought she would make Mahito's touch alive and we could see more about village etc later in the anime. I hope it won't be wasted and in the future episodes some part of plot will relate to this village. Maybe I feel this way because I like slice of life anime, this village reminded me of Non Non Biyori. |
