There's no single "saddest" death in Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) as it's subjective, but Nanami's brutal end by Mahito (a poignant moment with Haibara's ghostly presence) and Junpei Yoshino's tragic transformation by Mahito (foreshadowing JJK's cruelty) are often cited for emotional impact, alongside Riko Amanai's sudden death (a pivotal moment for Geto) and Yuki Tsukumo's potential-filled sacrifice against Kenjaku.
