In Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Chapter 125, The story drifts back to Nobara Kugisaki’s childhood, to the village that never felt like home. Even as a kid, she bristled against its cramped rules and watchful eyes, keeping her distance from most of the locals. Then came Fumi—and a light-blue backpack that Nobara couldn’t stop staring at. A simple trade sealed it; from that moment, they were inseparable.
Nobara spent countless afternoons at Fumi’s place, mashing buttons on Super Smash Bros. while Fumi’s dad laughed from the couch. Those small, bright rituals became their refuge as the village’s whispers grew meaner, its smiles thinner. Their duo turned trio when Saori arrived—sunny, gentle, and immediately important. For a while, the world felt wider.
But the village closed in. Petty vandalism, snide comments, doors that wouldn’t open—until Saori’s family packed up and left. On the day the house went quiet, Nobara finally broke, tears slipping free in front of Fumi for the first time. That grief didn’t harden into hate; it forged resolve. Standing in the echo of Saori’s absence, Nobara made herself a promise: she would get out, no matter what, and never let a place like that decide who she gets to be.
