ANIME Flash Tattoo – JUJUTSU KAISEN- Kugisaki Nobara – FACIAL TATTOO

Nobara Kugisaki (Japanese: 釘崎 野薔薇, Hepburn: Kugisaki Nobara) is a fictional character in the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen 

Nobara Kugisaki’s name was meant by creator Gege Akutami to be “thorny”, with the kanji characters for no (野) and bara (薔薇) meaning “wild” and “rose”, respectively, while the character used to denote kugi (釘) in her last name means “nail” or “peg”, in order to demonstrate the two sides of her personality being rebellious and refined.

Nobara possesses a high pain tolerance, tactical intellect, and precise understanding of the Jujutsu arts.^[2] Her innate Cursed Technique, the Straw Doll Technique, has two primary abilities: Resonance, which allows her to use a straw doll in conjunction with a piece of her opponent to inflict long-range damage by striking a nail into the effigy with a Curse Energy-imbued hammer, transferring and amplifying the impact to the actual target’s body; and Hairpin, which detonates embedded nails remotely using Cursed Energy to directly kill her opponent.^[10] Her abilities are based on the ushi no toki mairi, a traditional method of inflicting curses.^[8] Nobara is also highly adept at using her hammer to fire nails at opponents, causing both physical and Cursed Energy damage to her target.^[11] In addition to her standard abilities, she has demonstrated the use of Cursed Energy Manipulation—Black Flash, which creates a spatial distortion when Cursed Energy is applied within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit. It is later revealed that Nobara’s grandmother is a sorcerer possessing the same abilities and raised Nobara due to a strained relationship with her mother.
