<p>Akutami shared that he initially didn't want Nanami to die in the Shibuya Incident, but the story naturally moved in that direction to provide Yuji with motivation. "I didn't want Nanami to die at that point, but I was thinking that maybe there was no way around it, but Itadori burst in, and well, you know how it went. I originally felt that Nanami had surpassed the script, but when I put it into words like this, Nanami was the motivation and Itadori was the one who overcame the script."</p>

<p>Nanami's death was shocking, serving as a pivotal moment for Yuji, pushing him towards the grand finale of the Shibuya Incident and the arcs that follow. It marked the beginning of many significant deaths that would occur in the series, with more expected before Jujutsu Kaisen concludes.</p>
