Bets on whether 102 is gonna be a talky talk chapter or fighty fighting.
I honestly think its mostly gonna be talking, with the action coming in the final pages. And the real good shit is coming from 103.

why the fuck would you make a thread this early
>>283888819
probably going to get blueballed with other scenes and only get back to chihiro next chapter
>>
>>283888819
probably half and half chihiro and samura discuss with farmer, maybe even get into how the pinky promise works and if samura broke it or not. Then see what kamunabi hq is up to now that el tio is free.

>>283889276
I think its gonna be mostly talking because like >>283888858 said, we'll get other scenes. Like Azami being recovered or Uruha/Natsuki or whatever. Probably a page of Akemura. So check in on the crew plus Chihiro/Samura talking with Yura maybe with a few panels of attacks interspersed, and then we end on some shit that will start the real fight between the three Blades.

Not necessarily. He may very well have been just some guy whose family got caught up in the islander invasion. You put that together with his admission of being in absolute awe of the swordnukes and the context of how sorcery was hidden away behind the scenes until the invasion and it makes sense of his actions. The guy is probably just a nationalist disastisfied with the current order and wants someone to step up and be king.

Threads used to be active when we got early leaks, is everyone that busy shitposting on wsj?

>>283894490
>He may very well have been just some guy whose family got caught up in the islander invasion.
This is probably more likely, yeah. The destruction in that flashback panel has no flower shit going on, so its not from Shinuchi. Yura was definitely there that day on the island, but I don't think he was an islander.
Plus, if he was an islander, why would he give a shit about setting up a regime of order to protect Japan? Him being an islander makes zero sense with what we now know about him.

>>283894546
Last few chapters seems to indicate he holds a grudge towards the government/kamunabi for not being able to properly protect its nation and its people. Now, whether he was victim of the islanders or one of the many criminal clans or gangs is still up in the air.
>>
>>283894644
>This wide shot's so cool
I love how you can see Chihiro trying to get into Mukade's blindspot even in that wideshot.
>>
>>283894694
Thats a fair point.
I've been holding on to the theory that Hiyuki has some Enkotsu related destruction in her past that the Kamunabi came to clean up, and they took her in. Which is why she is loyal to the Kamunabi and believes the government has to control and regulate supernormal powers like the Blades and Enkotsu. They are the ones who know what to do with them, and how to use them for the country's benefit.
That could sorta be Yura's backstory - but without the Kamunabi coming to clean things up and help him. Big disaster happens, and that turned Yura into an extremist who believes the government has to control supernormal powers - and USE them to enact order and peace. But the Kamunabi is corrupt, the sorcerers are thugs, sorcerer clans are cuntish cunts, so he puts it all on his back.
The islanders and the Kodoku just showed him the way to get shit done, not necessarily put him on this path.

I dig the idea.
>>
>>283892842
Why can't this faggot take pics properly?
>>
>>283894754
>The islanders and the Kodoku just showed him the way to get shit done
More than that, they showed him it COULD be done and yet after the war it was decided the swords were too dangerous and had to be kept hidden. From his pov it might look as if a glimmer of hope for the nation finally appeared and the kamunabi chose not to pursue it like a bunch of cowards.
>>
>>283894832
>, they showed him it COULD be done
I know people hate comparisons to JJK, but this gives me Geto flashbacks. When Gojo called his plan impossible, but Geto said that it was possible for Gojo.
I like that kind of story beat where that glimmer of hope or what should be some aspiring trait is twisted for some fucked up shit.
>>
>>283894546
A lot of Islander theories seem to be getting btfo, maybe we won't actually get any in the cast?
>>
>>283894925
I've been pretty much of that mindset since we learned that Akemura genocided them.
I can see some islanders being around, but they would be the ones who deserted the war, who came over during the 1.5 year period before the war, taken prisoner by the Japanese. Aka, those who were not on the island at the end of the war.
So I wouldn't entirely rule it out, really. Like a handful of them might still be around. I still kinda think that Chihiro's mysterious mom might be one. Especially since no one knew about Chihiro's existence, which meant that she was in hiding even before the war ended. So Chihiro could be the last islander.
I dunno.

But doesnt that mean Soga is part islander too? Why would he hate his kinfolk by blood so much?

>But doesnt that mean Soga is part islander too?
I have zero idea how that was your takeaway from my post. I'm not sure what I said indicated that at all.
>>
>>283895093
Am I getting mixed up here? He's Kunishige's brother in law isn't he? If that is through Chihiro's mother and his mother is an islander wouldn't Soga also need to be part islander as well?
>>
>>283895132
I don't think the brother in law thing was meant to be literal
>>
>>283892936
Hokazono's boner for chihiro is boundless and I'm ok with it.
>>
>>283895093
>>283895139
wasn't Soga and Kunishige brother-in-laws? that's why Kunishige trusted Shinuchi to Soga.
>>
>>283895139
I don't think it makes sense if it wasn't literal unless the term can be used more like 'brother in arms' in Japanese.
>>
>>283895139
What, you think it's just an imagined connection Soga adopted due to their proxy connection through Magatsumi?
That is plausible but I don't think it's likely, Kunishige was stated to have trusted Soga the most, that implies a preexisting relationship.
>>
>>283895031
Soga wanted to genocide the islanders, and doesn't seem to like the sword otherwise.
>>
>>283895132
Ohhhh, Shit, yeah. You're right. I completely forgot about that revelation.
My bad, bud.
Yeah, then I guess Chihiro's mom wouldn't be an islander.

>>283895139
It is. 義兄さんNiisan is how you refer to a brother in law.
>>
>>283895139
Anon, he calls him 義兄さん
There are no two ways around it, either kunishige fucked his older sister or he fucked kunishige's younger sister.

>300 meter wide Murakade
You're not being subtle here with trying to mog JJK (Sukuna DE range), Hokazono.

>>283895263
*Mukade
>>
>>283895216
I would be a bit sad if we didn't actually get an islander POV in the story when they are so crucial to the plot but it is possible. From my reading while I wouldn't say the story is close to end it feels like the past arcs have been amassing the relevant cast going forward and none of them are islanders . . . and on the other hand in the past anons in this thread theorized that the manga might actually cycle through guest characters in each arc as opposed to maintaining a cast that would follow from arc to arc, so who knows.
>>
>>283895263
And that's the lite version btw.
Soga's mukade can probably do a city/island wide version.
>>
>>283895277
It'll do an AoT and pull a timeskip where it's a small resistance of island survivor who fucking hate kunishige.
>>
>>283895228
>or he fucked kunishige's younger sister.
I've never seen that suggested but that's kind of interesting. Chihiro has or had an aunt out there through which Kunishige and Soga met while his own mother is still an unknown entity. In that case it would still be possible for his mother to be an islander, wouldn't it?

Personally I kinda hope it's the pink bearer, just because Chihiro having to confront his deadbeat mom sounds kind of interesting to me but I'm not sure it actually works with the timeline.
>>
>>283895279
No, thats roughly the same as Akemura's Mukade. We have Samura thinking that this is about on par with Akemura's Mukuade during the war.
Akemura right now might be stronger, but at the very least, Yura is using Shinuchi on the level of Akemura was 18 years ago.
>>
>>283895277
It'll probably be revealed that many of the Hishaku are islanders. Just feels odd to not have them in the story at this point despite them being the only foreign/outside force that threatened the mainland in the war.
>>
>>283895303
Akemura is the kensei for a reason, Yura is borrowing Magatsumi's powers and maybe he'll come close enough to the original's powers due to no more mental fuckery, but he won't come close to the kensei's swordsmanship which seems to be the actual difference in strength between him and the rest. Yura isn't a great swordsman either, he's just a physical freak.
>>
>>283895306
So Yura found and groomed surviving islander children to become his disposable footsoldiers? It kind of fits considering how he was fine with Hiruhiko becoming contracted to Kumeyuri despite not having yet killed the Swordsaint, an action which would kill Hiruhiko in turn.
>>
>>283892953
So did hokazono fail to color his eyes or is the mental corruption broken?
>>
>>283895306
I thought so too but now it seems Yura isn't an islander but simply a victim of a broken nation. If that is the case then all the Hishaku are probably from a similar background.
It would explain the loyalty, like with Yukisada. If his immortality is anything like Char, he and his family might have been subjected to trafficking by some of the many sorcerer clans. If Yura saved him from something like that it'd explain the complete faith he has in him.
>>
>>283895306
Then he'd be giving them datenseki.
Hiruhiko's paper sorcery would have raped chihiro considering the islander feats during the war.
>>
>>283895306
I want Pine Tree to either be an islander or Chinese. I think it would be cool to have a non-Japanese/islander character in the story as well as more world-building about the state of the world outside this alternate timeline Japan.
>>
why is yura suddenly using iwps when he previously didn't seem to be a trained swordsman at all
>>
>>283895365
Datenseki isnt stable and is more of a suicide booster b4 it consumes you so it would make sense that none of the hishaku want to touch that ghetto shit until they figure out how to use that material like kunishige did.
>>
>>283895368
I won't lie I think the worldbuilding would absolutely fall apart if Hokazono expanded any focus beyond Japan and the little island nation that got BTFO by the swords.
>>
>>283895387
IF they were islanders, they'd have immunity.
>>
>>283895368
His queue haircut is literally chinese so it's likely that he's probably foreign to japan
>>
>>283895378
Anon, he isn't using iai, he CAN'T draw it, the pose he's doing is barely opening the blade.
>>
>>283895405
Yeah, so them not using raw datenseki strongly suggests they aren't islanders then. If that's the case then I guess we won't get any islander characters (if any) without a timeskip first.
>>
I still hope we can see Yura's sorcery first, we know he's supposed to be super fucking good and well read, but I wonder what he can do.
>>
>>283895063
He's too rational and flexible with his plans to be doing this out of a mere irrational obsession. He clearly sees magatsumi as a tool and not an object of faith.
>>
>>283893129
Its kino when used sparcely. But every Chihiro pose is like that now. Its should be 50/50 to make it interesting
>>
>>283895213
nobody likes Magatsumi . . . she tries so hard . . .
>>
>>283895515
Maybe because chihiro's
>THE SWORDS WEREN'T MADE FOR MURDER
falls apart when she ENTERS and starts making flower zombies.
>>
>>283895358
Yuri says this chapter the SS let go of the corruption to test Yura out
>>
>>283895549
So far Enten is being wielded in a manner that honors Kunishige's vision of creating a blade that promotes good in the world. Kuregumo got a little redemption arc in the Rakuzaichi arc before expiring, last used in the service of freeing innocents. Tobimune was being wielded by a suicidal schizo who seems to have turned a new leaf due to Chihiro's influence so Tobimune now can also said to have been redeemed.

I wonder if the same will happen with Magatsumi or if it really just is the evil bitch genocide sword.
>>
>>283895551
I hope he takes over to talk to Chihiro for a bit.
>>
>>283895609
Magatsumi's known skills are
>flower rape
>300m area wide force field
>spider seems to be able to stop you and probably hang your corpse going by sojo's flashback
>drafonfly flat out murders what it hits
>true realm is an 18 year old island wide rape dungeon
>>
>>283895303
>Akemura right now might be stronger, but at the very least, Yura is using Shinuchi on the level of Akemura was 18 years ago.
We have a trend where the swords seem to have gotten more powerful over time.

>When we observed Samura peak vs Samura present it's highlighted he's somehow even stronger than before
>Sojo only had 2 weeks to get used to date Cloud Gouger and he mogged an elite team of glowies with a bit of inspiration
>Hiruhiko took a few days to push himself to the limit with that building wide psychokinesis and illusion that seemed to be far beyond anything Uruha pulled with it
>A sliver of Magatsumi's power brought an entire stadium down in Kyora's mentally resistant hands

Meanwhile Enten is the odd one out with a much more limited scope of power that can be explained by it being from an entirely new batch not linked to the original life contract sorcery. When we use chihiro as our baseline it makes it look like the swords are just that goddamned OP but when take a step back you really have to wonder how the fuck did they have a guy who could blot out the sun for days and instant teleport wherever he wanted and still be on the losing side when you got 4 more comparable swordnukes alongside that one. There's some sort of mass accumulation fuckery going on and Kunishige's just the kinda guy to accidentally build that shit.
>>
>>283895636
What on earth was Kunishige thinking when he was making that thing?

Personally I think I could buy Magatsumi being the one sword to never get 'redeemed' and to simply get ended. All it's applications save for Spider are inherently offensive. Even Kuregumo wasn't so singularly oriented towards offense as both Kou and Yui could be used for defense and concealment. Magatsumi was even boxed up differently from the rest. I thought I might get a different impression of the sword the more we saw of it but unlike Kuregumo, Kumeyuri or Tobimune my impression hasn't changed much. Really does seem to be the evil bitch genocide sword.
>>
>>283895734
maybe he genuinely was trying to make an evil murder sword and regretted it later
>>
>>283895657
In fairness we have never seen Kuregumo or Kumeyuri being wielded by their original wielders at their peak. But your theory is interesting. There was an old theory I remember seeing in these threads about the sword's power, I will go look for it.
>>
>>283895734
>I'm so tired of this war
>sigh
>civilian slicer 9000 it is
It's supposed to have more powers, but we've only seen the bug rape ones.
>>
>>283895344
Duh? I don't see how thats relevant at all. I'm clearly just responding to the notion that Yura's Mukade is the lite-version of Akemura's, and not saying that Yura is the equivalent of Akemura in every way.
>>
>>283895303
>Akemura right now might be stronger
Almost certainly the case, considering that Samura somehow managed to upgrade Suzaku over the years without even touching the sword, Kensei is almost certainly even more in touch with the Magatsumi now than ever.
>>
>>283895636
>>300m area wide force field
Shockwave, not force field.
>>
Right now Hokazono is making three characters to do wrong things just so he could push the plot the way he likes and not let Yura get killed instantly.
Samura suddenly got shakes cause of eyes.
Kensei is just going against own beliefs, doing nothing.
Suddenly retarded citizens weren't evacuated in a whole hour to make Shiba busy now.
Each one of them has realistic means to deal with Yura but instead got either dumb nerf or was forced to deal with a new dumb situation.
>>
>>283895734
My theory is that he went
>the purpose of this sword is to end the war
but he didn't know that his brother in law thought that ending the war meant killing everyone from the other side.
>>
>>283895758
>>283895657
OK found it
https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/279046670/#q279073848
>the swords don't actually amplify the user's own power
>the swords are being used to tap into some stronger being's power instead
So following from what we are seeing now maybe that tether gets stronger over time and Kunishige really made something extremely bad when he welded those swords, that 'mass accumulation fuckery' you mentioned.

From what little we know I think it actually kind of makes sense, we do know there are yokai in their world. But I don't really like it because Hokazono said it would be a story about humans fighting humans, not monsters. But on the other hand the datenseki came from a meteorite, it's name meaning 'drops from heaven' so . . . I dunno.
>>
>>283895897
One day, we'll learn what his sorcery actually does.
>>
>>283892903
Glad it’s confirmed that Shiba can teleport w/o using a hang sign
>>
>>283895734
>What on earth was Kunishige thinking when he was making that thing?
We know that Kunishige didn't design the powers or choose what powers the Blades had.
Considering it was the last Blade to be handed out, and so presumably the last one to be forged. And thus, forged towards the latter stages of the war. I would hazard that Kunishige felt that desperation to stop the carnage and bloodshed, and so his desire for the Blades to have war-tuned utility/combat powers swinged way more for combat lethality than utility. And the datenseki responded to that, resulting in the hyperlethal powers for Shinuchi.
>>
>>283895949
Does it make sense for it to be the last one considering they had to make the life contracts for it? I'd imagine they were embedded when they first made the swords.
>>
>>283895968
Yeah, that is a weird little thing about the Blades. We know that Shinuchi was the final Blade deployed, but the Blades all have life contracts tied in to Shinuchi.
I kinda think that the Blades initially did not have life contracts. And its only after seeing just how immense their powers were, that the life contracts were spun up.
So its with Shinuchi's creation that the life contracts were implemented, and thats why Shinuchi is the core Blade for the contracts.
And it would explain why the life contracts had to be prepared on the rush and quickly, instead of over the year or so the Blades were being forged and handed out.
>>
>>283896003
Or kunishige knew it was evil and didn't find a proper user until his wife fucked his brains out and told him to give a sword to her cute brother.
>>
>>283896016
Or that. lmao
