Yeah, I read the chapter just now. She will however will likely to only appear in the upcoming anime as a cameo character instead of the main character cause the upcoming anime will likely not be able to adapt to that chapter.

Five chapters aren't enough unless there's a sequel or something.

She did not come back in the main story in her alive state, so we do not know if she is alive or not.

Also, appart from the previous paragraph, I only said she might appear in anime again as cameo character as in we viewers are the only ones can "see" her like other dead characters like Gol D. Rogers from One piece, he died and we still see him from flashbacks. Having characters in an anime or Manga themselves do not really mean they are alive or not in the present. This might happen again in the upcoming anime, but with other formats like images or flashbacks of Nobara.

A dead character can even appear as a spirit or ghost, and they still die from that point, but they are still in the anime (as defined as animated, not story cause story is part of an anime) because we still see them whether they are already dead or not.

@ani2016 She's alive

In story as a main character in present, she will not continue on cause she died, so her story ended, but we do not know if she will come back alive, so there is hope she will continue on for the last 5 chapters.

Also, she might also still "appear" in anime again as "cameo character" through other formats besides her alive state like her images. I thought I saw her as an image/illusion to Yuji in one of the Culling game arc chapter.

Still though, she will be missed from the other characters as a main character.

@DemonDarknight She died there. She will never appear again in anime as an character.

I actually liked the Culling Game even though Gege made a few bad decision in it writing-wise (the army thing was a waste of a chapter). However, this last arc was a massive let-down in my eyes. Rushed and "in your face" without really captivating me. Coupled that with Gege being quoted every few months in interviews saying he doesn't like his characters or that he regrets what he drew or wrote... just end it and take some time off bud.

Finally. Became a plague after/at Shibuya Incident arc, and just went straight downhill from that point.

Hopefully a actually good fighting shounen takes it place (like choujin x, though its a seinen i think).

Its about time the mangakas started working out how they ended there series properly because its always rushed no matter how long the series as been ongoing for

gege finally put us out of our misery, let's see if this'll be as bad as mha or even worse.

Manga ending already?Crazy. I'm used to shounen milking itself into oblivion like One Piece or Naruto.

Probably, or two seasons left to adapt cause two previous seasons adapt half the story.

Jujutsu Kaisen went to shit post Shibuya arc, so I’m happy it’s ending.

Can’t wait for the shitstorm that will ensue when the ending drops though.

Yeah that's true those series are beating them. But when I mean generation, I meant to say series that debuted in a decade, at least what I heard before from a YouTube video. But someday in this generation, we will likely see a new series the next big one (as big as the ones we listed together and other ones like Frieren) where we will only find out in the future.

For now, we will continue seeing other big ones where most of them from this decade take on this generation to continue on Manga media.

I don't know if the anime will be better. But in terms of source material, dandadan it's the pinnacle of what entertainment fiction can achieve. Unparalleled, to this day I haven't found anything that I could say "is better than dandadan". When the author wrote this, God and Satan had their hands on his shoulders encouraging him to continue.
