Our new bad guy, and his nail polish.
Chihiro must restore the Soga Clan and bring peace and stability to Japan.
>>287270399He can mine my datenseki if you know what I mean.
Conclusion to this chapter>HIROTO SEXO
Goddamn that was a fast thread.
>>287270477>not even three hours to bump limit>not even four to getting off the boardIt really wasy, guess we were STARVING for more solid plot/lore.
>>287270474I hope he survives next chapter at leasttechnically we don't even know for sure he dies in this war aaaaaaaa let me have some hopium please
>>287270473I don't get it
>>287270526He'd be around in the kamunabi would he not? Hell, the sorcery bureau turning into the kamunabi kind of implies the soga clan fell, it was THEIR thing.
>>287270505the new lore was great, yes
Fuck it, I'll redump it, the schizo loves fucking it up anyway for second threads.
>>287270505I've been loving this arc so far, but this was without a doubt the biggest lore dump in a while.
>>287270576
>>287270599Love the documentary style here, an anime should use a proper filter.
>>287270576So is that guy in the middle/floating chair the emperor?
>>287270577Honestly, thx only ACTUALLY new piece of lore was the whole Mikaboshi family and their relationship with the sogas, but the presentation was phenomenal.
>>287270626And one of my favorite pages in a while.Holy shit it goes hard.
>>287270640japs don't declare new imperial families ever
>>287270654
>>287270649>only ACTUALLY new piece of loreYeah but it's pretty huge.
>>287270649True but it was huge, also like you said the presentation was phenomenal. The Islanders are badass.
>>287270673
>>287270654YAAAYbro please
>the whole point of the second half of the Kamunabi raid arc is how Akemura is actually sane and himself and did not get possessed or go insane> "Guys Akemura is possessed by a Mikaboshi!!!" Why are people so stupid
>>287270654amazing page
>>287270665Well these guys are kind of a breakaway state, they're Japs ethnically but haven't actually been part of Japan for 1000 years.
>>287270674I do agree, but it's not like the chapter was funo heavy instead it uses soldiers, experts and their theories, which is a very fun way to do them.I struggle to think of other authors doing these kind of infofumps.
>>287270693
>>287270399I stopped reading after part 1 ended so I could get a healthy stack of chapters before continuing, but I might have to pick it up again after seeing this character
>>287270714>>"Guys Akemura is possessed by a Mikaboshi!!!"Is anyone actually saying this? All I've seen is he's becoming like a Mikaboshi.
>>287270731
>>287270738It's been kind of a lull, introducing characters, but this chapter is moving the shit out of the plot in proper.
>>287270738Things are picking back up so you probably should.
>>287270745No. dunno why people like to go hunt for retarded theories on whatever random normalfag website then pretend like humans are thinking them up
>>287270760
>>287270738Yeah I was on the fence about a flashback arc until this chapter.
>>287270738You missed out on LA MADRE, anon, for shame.
>>287270760>They created their own civilization, aided by the Datenseki a force beyond our understandingI really want to see how Datenseki has been helping them live under the sea.
>>287270782
>>287270794She's still alive for now...
>>287270399>introducing villains with actual designsHow long is this arc going to be
>>287270806
>>287270806>Mikaboshi symbol looks similar to the Hishaku's emblem>Pine tree motifs surrounding the Islanders>New Islander big bad looks like TeacherTeacher is an Islander and founded the Hishaku confirmed.
>>287270825He's Akemura's Toji.
>>287270829If anyone finds out what this ship may be a reference for, pelase share.
>>287270825I now expect it's going to be the entire war so pretty long probably. If nips like it there's no reason why it can't be as long as 3 normal arcs or so.
>>287270825>Still no Ibuki or Lolibaba>War hasn't officially begun yet>Zero Enchanted Blades forged50 chapters left at least.
>>287270864FURNITURE DESIGNER POWER MOVE
>>287270864Did they all just crawl out of that hole and drop to the ground? Did the old man float out?
>>287270894
>>287270894Takeru would have been the greatest furniture designer in Nippon if he didn't pivot to being a mangaka.
>>287270913
>>287270894There's something really cheeky about how he's sitting on one side of it leaning on the armrest instead of in the middle.
>>287270934>Give us all your shit lolIslanders actually think they deserve to live.
>>287270934
>>287270967That's allDo islanders deserve to live? noWas akemura right? yesThese and many more questions will be answered in this arc.
>>287270654How will the anime butcher this?
Is it yaoi ?
>>287270913Truly an "oh no he's hot" moment, how is this design so good?
>>287270649well we know now the island is some sort of submarine (?) the mikaboshis ran to after being killed, that's a big reveal given we first believed they were from another dimension/atlantideans
>>287270992Actually, that's one of the things an anime won't butcher, at most it'll use a bit of tweening for the pictures but when they do these historical ukiyoe frames they get adapted 1:1.
>>287270399We still haven't seen a female islander, do they even exist or are they all gay
>>287270399>New bad guyBut OP, he's been here since chapter 1.
Old man Soga is so much cooler than the other Soga. This manga lacks the staple badass old man character in battle shounen
>>287271058No.
>>287271056>they are all gay>they have male breeding tech>fujos go wild because it enables the generic jump end but with shiba/hakuri depending on the ship
>>287271056Islanders reproduce through mitosis.
>>287271058doesn't look like him at all
>>287270864Is it not a magatama
>>287271068yes
>>287271058That's definitely not him and he's getting killed by Akemura in this flashback. He's the main antagonist of this flashback before Akemura does the genocide
what a second thread...
>>287270654KINO
High School spin off when?
>>287271121Yeah, he's hot enough to get killed by akemura.Or by his people in the coup.
>>287270399Did the islander peasants rape the royal family before killing them?
>>287271157>Some Islanders take Chiaki hostage after getting BTFO in the war to try and get a better peace deal>They accidentally kill her
>>287270654>read up this is basically a racist caricature masquerading as a historical pic/legend>absolutely trueIt's fucking funny.
>>287271192It was a different time.
>>287270399FUCK THE KING
>>287271213Alexei lives.
>>287271212YEAHSUPER DIFFERENTTHEY DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN LIKE 16 YEARS AGO
>>287271244Look if Islanders don't want to be portrayed as violent monsters maybe they should stop acting like violent monsters.
>>287271157>the hero, sasukehokazono....
>>287271256#notallislanders
>>287271265Come on anon, we both know you were the same.
In these threads Soga Akemura is a hero, end of story.
My hero is Yura.
>>287271192>It’s too late. I’ve already depicted the Mikaboshi as the basedjak yokai and the Soga as the chad samurai.
>>287270967Both of the Sogas have too good of designs to die here.
My HERO is ChiHERO.
>>287271341Kek
>>287271312i just think his love for sasuke and basing his mc on him is adorable, i'm not disagreeing
>>287270864>royals vs. commoners in dress
Akemura and the Hishaku better pump out propaganda that portrays Chihiro and his allies as sadistic terrorists.
>>287271341Oh god, it really is the ancient nip version of this
>>287271392The sogas are too hot to be slandered by propaganda.
>>287271389why are they dressed completely differently
>>287271389>but they were still humanWell....
>>287271417Because those are the islanders who deposed the mikaboshis, not the mikaboshi.Some kind of civil army I guess.
>>287271402Time is a flat circle.
>>287270399So what do you guys think, are the magatsumis bug themed powers ingrained into the blade or is akemura just using it that way because of personal reasons? On one hand the limited info we have of how the magatsumi works make it seem like it is just coming from akemura and the energy it gathers could be shaped in whatever way the user sees fit. On the other hand the guard of the magatsumi does fit the bug aesthetic so the bug mikaboshi powers could be ingrained.
>>287271447I think the Soga family is an offshoot of the Mikaboshi family and that's why the sword is like that, bug affinity.
>>287271402Someone should shop it.
>>287271447I think it's all ingrained in the blade, but Akemura is probably enhancing the bug/mikaboshi aspects. The question is why the hell would Kunishige forge a Mikaboshi like Enchanted Blade? Was that a required part of making it so powerful?
>>287271417like i said in the last thread with the amount of people on the island it feels more likely that not only the mikaboshi fled to the island but also all their supporters with actual mikaboshi clan acting as the royal family. We also don't know why the soga clan rebelled against them i hope we get some lore titbits later during this arc
>>287271389>>287271213wait a minute
>>287271447>>287271528You know this would make sense with the theory that there's some kind of sacrifice needed to make the sword get its powers.
>>287270654we need more ukiyo-e
>>287271593Tafuku's so fucking fat
>>287271389At this point, do we think the royals were actually deposed by the islanders, or did they just get killed off and the rest of the islanders gave up
>fanart go go
>>287270399Is every single islander confirmed already dead in the present time? We're not having a Last of the Mohicans thing are we?
>>287270705have yer shitty edit
>>287271389>the peace treaty was probably signed at irishima>the first time around, the islanders brought the furniture>second time around the Japanese didThe Japanese government got mogged furniture-wise here
>>287271649Yes.
>>287271621The latter, or the royals pretended to be overthrown while secretly preparing how to win the rematch after white peacing.
>>287271649I liked the old theory that some of them were Hishaku but that doesn't really work anymore.
>>287271528Maybe its based on some mikaboshi artifact or used something like that as inspiration, this would also fit well with my headcanon that the magatsumi was actually the first sword that got created as a prototype but with how dangerous, raw and unrefined its powers were (especially the lifesteal kill anything around you aura) it didn't get deployed until it was the clear the other swords weren't enough
>>287271650The Soga bloodline truly is one of heroes.
>>287271677That would be cool because it feels like a waste to have an arc about them and then the islanders are completely irrelevant again.
>>287271649Maybe there were some who weren't on the island, but Akemura killed 200,000 of them, which is a lot
>>287271649Teacher is the last of his people.
>>287271621A high-ranking islander got sick of the royals and also saw the tides shifting, so he betrayed the royals and sued for peace. But he went too far in rubbing it in Akemura's face...
>I USED TO RULE THE WORLD
>>287271649probably not all but every islander on the island for sure so like 99.9%. Could be that some troops were still on the mainland or got captured by the jap gov
>>287271677>the islanders were iredeemably evilCome on anon, akemura has to be bad for the series to work, if his genocide was 100% justified then the series loses his charm because chihiro can't debate him on a moral level.
>>287271758if they all basically have magic there could be some who infiltrated japan and will show up again later
Was Chiaki killed before or after Akemura annihilated the island?
>>287271782Chihiro was born in august.The war ended in october.Everything points to chiaki dying during his birth.
>>287271806Yup, she was killed by salty Islanders mad that her husbands swords lost them the war.
>>287271739i mean you don't even have to go to fiction for that, the third reich had an actual almost succesfull military coup in 1944, even blew up a bomb in hitlers bunker but he survived by sheer luck. Look up Staufenberg pretty interessting stuff
>>287271714No. That's the fucking point, they're a thing of the past. They're dead.
>>287271899God bless the great soga filter genes.
If the Islanders won the war they would have oppressed the fuck out of the Japanese and probably enslaved some of them and force them to work in the Datenseki mines, they had to go.
>>287271703im stealing this theory
>>287271755>first chiaki gets a flood of art>now this guythe fanartists are thirsty
>>287271928They filtered out Kunishige's mental retardation and prevented Chihiro from inheriting it.
>>287271714The whole story up to this point has been the aftermath of the Seitei war and living with the crimes commited by the EB forged by the MC. Would be awful writing to bring the Islanders back. They need to stay dead
>>287271962He's fairly handsome and will obviously be important tbqf
So why did Sojo have hallucinations?
>>287271979They will come back when akemura dies and the kodoku is dispelled>chihiro breaks magatsumi>finally peace>then the island rumbles>the mikaboshis are back>heian flashback into part 3
>>287271940i feel like this really depends on if they went to war for the datenseki or for revenge, in the leak thread one posted some interessting stuff about the myth the mikaboshi are based on. In it there was some stuff about sealing evil in some rocks that came from the sky
Kagurabachi's final arc will be a Second Seitei War.
>>287271995Mental illness, I hope we see Lil Sojo during this arc and the source of his trauma.
>>287272013>narutofag>reenactment of the biggest war in the settingOf course.
>>287270505>>287270526Wait, the dump thread is already gone? Do we have the Thai ver of those spreads? I just read the chapter wtf
>>287272002>He thinks Akemura will be defeated in Part 2
>>287272063Dump thread was fast as shit this week.
>>287272040probably was a witness for the first time the magatsumi was activated when they were still fighting on the main land. Although that doesn't explain why the corpses were strung up like a garland and the suits they were wearing also don't fit with islanders look
>>287272002horrible. Just move on to Yura vs Chihiro after Akemura is done with.
>>287272063Sorry, the thread went by in a flash, I'll dump the big pages since I did that last thread.
>>287272063the best spread
>>287272103cause shit finally started to move again
>>287272126
Chiaki's life was worth more than ever single Islanders life combined.
>>287271650Switched Mikaboshi for Mihara
>>287272153And kind of Aizen looking dude because why not.
Enter, the heir to the Soga clan, Prince Chihiro
>>287272118This. I trust Hokazono doesn't do anything stupid. Make Akemura a boss fight and then Chihiro vs Yura as a one-on-one fight. Let the Islanders stay in the past since Akemura pretty much fulfills the role as Mikaboshi ruling the country like in the Soga legend.
>>287272176Its time for a Soga to save Japan once again.
>>287272133What's that symbol on his back supposed to be?
Shiba did something
>>287272229The soga clan or the princess guard clan symbol.
>show up kill like 3 of the negotiators>bomb their ship too>have the gall to say give up your capital and most of your landIm starting to believe genocide was with in reason
>>287272153>posting the edit
>>287272249>want to be treated seriously>show you can nuke then if you want>your land or you dieNGL he had balls of steel there.
>>287272264Kys, here's the real version.
>>287272264did that old man rape shota sojo
>>287272249They killed 2 guards actually, the negotiator was fine.
>>287272249Took you long enough.
reminder that Tafuku WILL join Soga
>>287272103>>287272126>>287272133>>287272153Reasonable, I guess. Lot of lore and the start of the war. Also change of pace >>287272139. Thanks, spreads are really nice this week.
>>287272339Only because Hiyuki will, but after Bingo eats Tafuku and Akemura does nothing about it she'll defect back to the good guys.
>>287272288I can't see it...
>>287272343>Lot of lore and the start of the warThe irishima skirmish is TECHNICALLY not the war, it's the prelude.I'm guessing the war will start with a proper declaration from the islanders, maybe even naming their country properly after 60 chapters.
>>287272139I liked the slower pace, I hope we still get some slower chapters this arc and we get some slowdown chapters when we get back to the present.
#NoKings
>>287272367>Bingo eats TafukuTafuku would rape Bingo because he fights unarmed.
>>287272380It's still the start of the war, official declarations don't mean much as opposed to what's actually happening. the editor blurb is "silently it begins" btw
>>287272372Focus...
>>287272392There's still making the blades, the selection, there's a lot of stuff that is quite literally set up.But Hokazono has to show all the cool stuff, he can skim over, say, the SUZAKU from the painting.
>>287272403Delusional, Bingo would devour Tafuku with ease.
>>287272424>he canhe can't
>>287272372Samura...
>>287272395>AIEEEEEEEE SWORD SAINT-SAMA SHOW MERCY!!!!!!!!Pussies.
>>287272499>Azami, don't look....
>>287272424I expect the biggest focus to be in the early stages and the end when Magatsumi gets deployed. The middle part where the other EB are deployed and the Islanders get stalemated will be extremely short and where most of the skipping/summarization occurs.
>>287272521>the end when Magatsumi gets deployedI'm hoping the arc ends on Kunishige locking away the blades and Yura's wife being killed.
>>287272452Bingo would become immediately possessed
>>287270991Headcanon but how strong do you expect the strongest squad to be? Are they weaker or stronger than Kamunabi raid Natsuki?
>>287272521Oh come on, people want to see the action and the bearers in their prime the most.Kumeyuri uruha.Kuregumo ibuki.The female EB.That's the stuff people are excited about this arc.
>>287272684You can do that in a low amount of chapters to save more sword page time for the present day.
>>287272681Stronger than Kamunabi raid Natsuki, but still get their asses handed to them to show how serious of a threat the Islanders are.
>>287272720>save more sword page time for the present day.Showing the EBs off with their original wielders wouldn't really take away from that, it's not like we're gonna see any of them wielding their EBs again in the present.
>>287272745She didn't say that.
>>287272745She said this.
>>287272770Why are you lying?
>>287272684Hokazono is not going to show off the two EBs in detail when they have yet to be revealed in present. Ibuki, Samura and Kumeyuri Uruha will show off but they are a side plot to the main Soga-Kunishige/Islander plotline
Let's jsut accept this isn't a 1-2 volume flashback.Hell, we even need chiaki/kunishige stuff.
>>287270864Not sure about the ship, but those things floating rang a bell. I wonder if these have some religious meaning
>>287272800yeah it's a 3, maybe 4 volume
>>287270967>cocky bearded middle-aged samuraiAlways a 10/10 character, I hope he doesn't job right away
>>287272800It isn't and that's a good thing. I want this arc to be long.
>>287272810I'd say 4, maybe 5 if it's doing particularly well.
>>287272807I still think he's Kiri's dad/Itsuo's son.
>>287272831If he puts out a bonus chapter featuring Chihiro every now and again Takeru can make this arc as long as he wants and get away with it.
>>287272367Will we get loli Hiyuki?
>>287272392Not gonna lie, I want a fight now. Lore is cool and all but Kagurabachi main appeal has always been the cool swordfights and insane choregraphies.
This manga has been consistently great since chapter 100 for me. The only negative in this stretch is the awkward 4 day timeskip after the defeat.
>>287272948Next chapter is a fight, promised.
>>287272288Only now I noticed the atrophied legs
>>287272831i feel like 4-5 is a bit too long even a series as popular as magi really tanked during its flashback arc and that one was only 3 volumes long. Although kgb has the advantage of more characters from the main story appearing in it
>>287272853Well he looks like them, meaning Kiri could have this same sorcery. Doubt she'll ever use it though.
>>287272964more like next chapter is gonna be a slaugther/job fest
>>287273025I think it can afford it a bit because>the "main story" is barely 100 chapters long>promises beloved characters to be in>is delivering hot designs anywayBut of course if it tanks in sales it'll be cut short, or hokazono does it anyway because jump doesn't have anything else.
This is going to be our golden age arc
>>287273055My prediction is: 1 of the two Soga dead, one heavily injured, and the other two with lighter injuries.
>>287273177Old guy deadHiroto survivesShiba takes him and Mashiro and runs the fuck away
>>287273072>hokazono does it anyway because jump doesn't have anything else.As long as the anime doesn't end up being a total flop he's basically got free reign, meaning we will get a sex chapter.
>>287273253CSM's was a total flop and jump+ let it turn into THAT
>>287272909Potentially this arc if she's from a clan that got obliterated during the war.
Shota Tafuku soon.
>>287272956I didn't mind the four day timeskip, but I didn't like the Samura revival talk. That scene is currently in a limbo where I both hate it and don't, and it wont come to an end until we find out where Takeru is going with that.
>>287270934>this land was promised to us a millenia ago>>287270991>japanese mangaka makes japan the victim to justify war criminalHMMMMM
>>287273377>>japanese mangaka makes japan the victim to justify war criminalBased, Akemura did nothing wrong.
>>287273377>>this land was promised to us a millenia agoYou've tried this joke several times already and they still don't land.
>>287273405They've landed for me.
>>287273402Maybe he didn't in the end, if it somehow ends with the genocide being his answer to something like>we are faking the peace negotiations some people will throw a fucking shitfit and I'll laigh.
>>287270654>that bitch MikaboshiBack to Yomi with you, demon whore!
>>287272115I wonder if Takeru's plans involving Sojo changed at some point? Would be a bit disappointing if we never get his backstory even if it's not really needed.
>>287273377You're retarded and should kill yourself.People like you love drawing stupid real world parallels and dissecting stories in search of anything that barely supports their position. Is it that hard to just enjoy the manga without bringing kuso 3dpd world shit in?
>>287273487Beats the people drawing parallels between the soga emblem and the rising sun.AND painting the islanders STILL as victims.
>>287273487many have been agreeing with this post
>>287270864>>287270991>Six Islanders vs 4 Japanese fighters and a diplomatThey're fucked.
>>287273524>AND painting the islanders STILL as victims.It's funny that people are still trying to make excuses for them, the Islanders were pieces of shit who got their shit pushed in after they tried to bully Japan.
>>287273524>soga emblem and the rising sunwtf, that's not even a stretch, it's full on hallucination
>>287273553>b-but japan didn't need the datenseki and they did! it's totally justified!All this because they got genocided btw
>>287273443>>we are faking the peace negotiationsIt would be really funny if the Islanders were lying through their teeth and fully intended on making their own Enchanted Blades so they could reinvade Japan later.
>>287273610>sees the kodoku in her sleep
Azami my love...
>>287273635>'....Based...'>'Hm? What'd you say, Chiaki?'>'Nothing, go back to sleep.'She knew her husbands moralfaggotry would ruin everything if he found out what Akemura would do with Magatsumi.
>>287273681Kind of surprising he still hasn't appeared outside of the childhood flashback.
This is not a story of heroes.
>>287273789Probably not a combatant yet.
They covered Shiba’s ankles in the english version release :(
>>287270693I want to see an Islander control an army of cockroaches.
>>287273834>all of akemura's powers are based on different islander sorceries, but stupidly overpowered
>>287273827Good point actually, he may not switch from medic to fighter until part way into the war.
>>287273827Why not?
>>287273834i hope we get a locust magatsumi abillity thats just a swarm that devours anything in its path
>>287273832Censorship is brutal.
>>287273889That would actually be kino.
>>287273823And yet, a hero has come.
Interesting how Shiba is the only one who is currently famous. Kunishige is an unknown genius, Akemura is a prodigy held back by his age and Azami is still yet to become a combatant due to family pressure.
>>287273937I'm wondering where any potential future friction between Yura and Akemura can come from since they share the same endgame, maybe Akemura wanting to purge some of the Hishaku members for various reasons and Yura not being okay with his guys being killed?
>>287273937Yura should have happy ending, he's a victim.
>>287273984This is Shiba's arc.
>>287273984Well, he works for the bureau and his sorcery is as op as it gets (barring unknown restrictions)
>>287273984> Azami is still yet to become a combatant due to family pressure.Why do you think that? He could well be in bureau right now
>>287273988His happy ending will be him dying knowing Japan's going to be protected and another him won't be created.
>>287273985I feel he may not be super duper on board with the whole clan extermination, especially the innocent women and kids.
>>287273985>maybe Akemura wanting to purge some of the Hishaku members for various reasons and Yura not being okay with his guys being killed?Nah, definitely not that, Yura would have no problem if each one of them were judged after everything is done. Of course, knowing Akemura, he'd probably kill all of them regardless of their individual crimes because he's a retarded autistic faggot.
>>287274003>June instead of August, Chihiro's birth monthThey had one job.
>>287270399He looks like flat chrollo.
>>287274070>a retarded autistic faggot.proud nationalistic man with clear morals*
>>287274044after akemura gets beaten yura escapes and we get a flash forward to show how the world become peacefull, it ends with chihiro cutting an smiling yura down
>>287274070He could have just been grooming Yukisada here, but I think Yura does care about his guys somewhat. He's obviously not above using them and getting them killed to further his own agenda, but I imagine he'd avoid it if he can and try to keep them alive.
>>287274078To be fair, he's the earliest to get a full page after OP. That's great (it's a school calendar so it starts in april)
>>287274132>His last words are telling Chihiro "I won faggot.">Final scene is him reuniting with his wife in HeavenTotal Yura Victory.
>>287274137Yukisada, Toto and Worst Jeanist are probably the only ones that shouldn't get a death penalty.
>>287274132>it ends with chihiro cutting an smiling yura downThat would be a literal villain ending for Chihiro, no way any editor allows that.
>>287274125This line of reasoning is how the Hishaku members will survive Akemura's cleansing of Japan. They were just disadvantaged patriots doing what they had to and using the resources they had at their disposal to save Japan.
>>287274110What i have seen people comparing him to:>zodyl>dante>higuruma>eren>now chrollo
>>287274197They still have to pay for their crimes.
>>287274205And yet, he looks just like aizen, because of the hair.
>>287274187>That would be a literal villain ending for ChihiroYura's the leader of a terrorist organization responsible for the deaths of innocents including Chihiro's dad. Chihiro finishing him off even when it's not really necessary wouldn't be a villain ending as long as Chihiro doesn't turn into an amoral murderhobo.
>>287274065If he's okay with kodoku on the island I don't think he'll have a problem with that
>>287274225They'll give back to the community by helping Akemura kill common criminals and deal with Chihiro and his group of friends.
>>287274228>as long as Chihiro doesn't turn into an amoral murderhobo.He already is.The final chapter should be Chihiro being hanged for his crimes.
>>287274226Yeah i forgot to include aizen too
>>287274261>He already is.He's a moralfag murderhobo, even when Hiruhiko tried to force him to kill civilians who despised him he refused and instead let himself get fucked up.
>>287274285Whenever he kills a goon he's ruining a family, he deserves their hate. And btw, Japan's situation is all Kunishige's fault, not only because he created the swords and gave Magatsumi to Soga, he also decided to hide the other swords as if that'd somehow undo his sins. His daddy doesn't deserve to be avenged.
>>287274151>it's a school calendarWell I'm glad the children of Japan are getting their morals from upstanding figures such as Chihiro 'Kill all Yakuza' Rokuhira.
>>287274336It starts with One "fuck the government, monarchy NOW" piece.
>>287274332>Whenever he kills a goon he's ruining a familyNot Chihiro's fault those scumbags decided to hurt innocent people for a living instead of getting normal jobs.>Japan's situation is all Kunishige's fault*Japan's situation is all Chiaki's killers fault
>>287274390>*Japan's situation is all Chiaki's killers faultlol
>>287270796Its just a fabulous power source. You can do a lot of things with a fuckton of energy. They could have simply used it to create dome like forcefields around their island
>>287274402>have prediction bot>kill her>her whole clan diesAt this point I think the blood test was to see if chihiro was a soga, because they could breed him until he gets a girl with the sorcery.
>>287274402It literally is, her death is the cause of Akemura wiping out the Islanders, Kunishige locking away the blades, and the government becoming incompetent because they no longer have someone telling them all the bad shit that's gonna happen. She symbolized order and the bond between the government and the sorcery world, her death was an unmitigated disaster for Japan.
Chihiro seppuku in the last chapter.
>>287274488>they could breed him until he gets a girl with the sorcery.Chihiro's daughter will be Japans last hope.
>>287270796Maybe super barriers? Amplify... tree making sorceries too, for example.
Is Shiba 4chan?
>All these characters getting introduced just so they can turbojob to THE CHADGATSUMI
Will we see the Soga clan sorcery next chapter? And what's your prediction for the type of sorcery it will be?
Mihara clan soon.
>>287274620cool look from the thumbnail
>>287274643... we know their sorcery anon, there's a stupidly big chance they have no other but prediction (female)
>>287274631I doubt Akemura's going to kill anyone on Japans side, he willingly surrendered the moment he was done wiping out the island.
>>287274643Their sorcery is clairvoyance, female exclusive and only one Soga lady can have it at a time. But maybe the guys got their own thing going on.
>>287274668I always assumed when they saw how far he was gonna go they tried to stop him and he btfo'd them effortlessly.
>>287273789Azami is overall not THAT important to the narrativeParticularly next to Shiba who is just straight up the best sorcerer in the world as well as indirectly responsible for the blades. Azami is just their creepy friend in comparison>>287273827? he definitely is though. Considering he achieved such a high rank quickly chances is he is already a capable warrior, he just needed glory to rise up
>>287274652*Kagari clan soon.
>>287274240Island is different, remember that most civilians on japan were fed progaganda about the islanders. Yura might not have known until recently they were ultimately just normal people, so he didnt really care
>>287274706>Azami is overall not THAT important to the narrativeSure, but he's still one of Kunshige's BFFs, one of Chihiro's uncles, and is a fan favorite.
Childhood Hiyuki and Tafuku playing around...
>>287274747And more important, Hokazono likes him and likes having him fight, I'd be surprised if this arc doesn't have the>coins go bzzzzzzpart.
>>287274666>>287274689Surely there is a Isou and Storehouse situation with the Soga. I find it hard to believe all the male warriors are just plain swordsman.
>>287274741He clearly did know the truth about the island from all the Samura flashbacks and he's still saying he supports what Akemura did.
>>287274666>>287274689You guys forget that sorcery in kgrb isnt like in jjk. ANYONE can learn sorcery and can develop an distict technique. The same or similar technique is just very likely to appear in the same family, but even some irrelevant mcgee, if taught sorcery, will develop SOMETHING. No blades in the game yet so all these guys have a sorcery technique
>>287274706Azami was hyped up in the Kamunabi raid arc as the strongest Kamunabi higher up and he's been constantly placed alongside Shiba. Sure he's most likely weaker and of course less relevant but he's still a big deal.
>>287274753Anon Hiyuki might not have even been born yet and Tafuku is like 1 or 2 years old
>>287274805That was fairly recentl, only 3 years ago. By that point Yura was likely too far gone, and what CAN he do about it anyways. They are all dead alreadyI dont think Yura will be a-ok with wholesale extermination of entire clans including kids and shit. Yura's entire point is order and control, murdering little kids achieves nothing. Just groom them instead or soemthing
>>287274779Chiaki doesn't have two powers.
>>287274884>Just groom them instead or soemthing
>>287274864Azami is the strongest kamunabi and its not even closeBut Shiba isnt a kamunabi member, and Azami is not even close to Shiba who is more or less the strongest (baseline) sorcerer in the worldYes, hes an important character but not "reshaped the history of the entire country" level of important. Im sure he will have a role in the arc, but Shiba is clearly the main arc character abd by far the most influencial
>kgrb
What even is "the peak of sorcery"?
>>287274666In kagurabachi everyone gets a sorcery, same type of it is common in families but everyone taught basic sorcery will develop some kind of technique
>>287274904It could be that the women only have the potential to get the foresight sorcery whereas the men all have the potential to get their own different sorcery.
>>287274967You could already tell it's "him" with the jjk comparison, but as if that wasn't enough, he just had to leave his signature word
>>287274974Shiba.
>>287275016Please, he's had a bad week, the moment KGB has an interesting chapter all his shitposting about popularity implodes.AND no one used his shitpost thread, so even worse.
>>287275088He's raising her so Tafuku can see her panties without bowing
>>287274997Yeah I hope it's something like that cause if all the Soga swordsmen, including pre-Magatsumi Akemura, don't have sorcery it would be a bit boring.
>>287275154I only want them to have sorcery because we really could use more sorcery types, even if the kamunabi raid was partially to address that issue.
>>287270829>I'm sorry, but I will be leaving Tokyo.Smart of him to get out of dodge, I think the Islanders actually managed to reach Tokyo or at least Tokyos surrounding area before their advance was stopped.
Imagine if chiaki is still alive
>>287275227They got it.
>>287275266But she's a worm
>>287270693What chance the insect he's talking here is actually insect-shaped manifestation of spiritual energy? Just like the jellyfish summoned by Tenri before he exploded.
>>287275266She got better after some Islanders decapitated her.
>>287275154One of them using it should be enough to know which one akemura uses.Or Hokazono goes for the>the strongest clan despite lacking an innate sorcery >peerless swordsmanship and a perfect style
>>287275274I hope we see what life was like for the Japanese under Islander occupation, would vindicate Akemura a bit if they were barbaric.
>>287275295That's actually very likely, the sword stand, with the datenseki.Still weird it's all bugs.
>>287275305>akemura vs itsuo this arc
>>287275266she's imprisoned inside Tafuku's unholy sumo ring
>>287275109Tafuku's a eunuch, he wouldn't want to see that.
>>287275354>Itsuo wipes the floor with him
>>287275274Did they flee to Kyoto or something?
>Shiba wingman'd Kunishige>Shiba shilled Kunishigeheimer >Shiba was at the commencement of hostilities>Shiba failed to protect Kunishige, Chiaki, and let Akemura succumb to dark ambitions>Shiba groomed Chihiro into a cold blooded killer>Samura killed Chihiro under Shiba's protectionHoly shit what a fucking failure
>>287275455He introduced him to Uriteinstein too.
>>287275455>When Chihiro had an oppurtunity to get off the path he was on Shiba let him get back on it, even handing him the means to do soWhen Shiba dies, Kunishige and Chiaki are gonna beat the shit out of him in the afterlife.
>>287275391You and I both know that ain't happening. The previous chapter just had a 16 year old Akemura stated to already be strong enough to be the commander of the elite guard, which presumably includes the two Soga introduced in this chapter.
>>287275500>YOU LEFT HIM THE SWORD HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW They won't be able to talk to chiaki, btw, because, you know, hell.
>>287275523Nah, Itsuo'd win.
>>287275539Shiba will teleport Kunishige and him into Heaven.
>>287270654Ukima Soga? A true hero.
So the swordbearers being trusted allies will end up being propaganda right, we saw he basically picked Uruha at random
>>287275275Would Kunishige still love her if she was turned into a worm?
>>287275759Samura was probably a trusted ally and Uruha was his genius younger disciple brother.Ibuki, THAT was at random.
>>287275759>So the swordbearers being trusted allies will end up being propaganda rightIt was at least sorta true in Subaru and Akemura's cases. However yeah it seems like that was mostly propaganda, Akemura was probably the only bearer Kunishige knew before the Seitei War/buildup towards it.
>>287275809>>287275831I dont really know how you include Samura and Uruha unless Itsuo is one of the guards like Shiba and Misaka... maybe fought off some islanders and got some renown?
Soon.
>>287275899anon...
>>287275877Akemura may have befriended him.
>>287275928I forget the sorcery name but it seemed pretty cool, even if its just worse mei coatingI could see him rivaling Samura pretty easily with it. Doubt we have time for a swordbearer selection tournament now though
Tfw Akemura liked goldfish too?
>>287275877It's clear there was some swordsman invitation that happened which is why the Misaka brothers headed to Tokyo. If you read chapter 89, it's clear there was a selection and Kunishige with his Rokuhira eyes picked out the ones that suited his blades
>>287275963>Seitei War is interrupted with a tournament arcDare I say kino?
Do the male Soga have a sorcery?
I just 1 (one) swordfight on motorcycles from the Yankees
>>287270913>>287271389>outlives that assholeHe won
>>287276076We'll probably find out next week.
What's his deal
>>287276111Secretly molesting the female Soga clan members.
>>287276034More likely they'll showcase their swordsmanship and Kunishige with his eyes will pick out the ones best suited to his blades. This makes more sense because if Natsuki got his ass beat normally he wouldn't feel so butthurt
>>287276111He REALLY looks like a Bleach character (I guess every new character this chapter does but still)
>ww1 era battleshipHuh
You deserve to be raped
>>287270654By the way if this is foreshadowing Akemura vs Chihiro, this may mean Chihiro wielding both Enten and Kuregumo theory might be true.
>Iori makes a contract with Tobimune>NATSUKI, THIS BLADE SUITS YOUWhich will happen first when we get back to the present?
>>287276156IS THAT...
>>287276154>every new character this chapter doesNah, these >>287270864Are Naruto.
>>287276160Tech is all over the place.
>>287276202only the algae heads
>>287276156>How many areas of Japan do you want?
>>287276189Natsukibros...
>Entengumo >Natsukigumothe wait for this is gonna be hell
Has Chiaki given Kunishige her 'special thing' yet?
Kuguri will NEVER be a kino
>>287276284>>EntengumoWould be one hell of a comeback, went from being on top of the world when Enten was broken, to in the mud when we saw the plans for New Enten and New Kuregumo, to somewhere in the middle now.
>>287270967Are there other spirit-energy vehicles? How does that work
>>287276319>New the Enten and New the KuregumoFtfy
>>287276343
>>287276295You mean her special limited edition yaaaying Tafuku key chain? No, not yet.
>>287276156
>>287276365> special limited edition yaaaying Tafuku key chainI'd buy that for a dollar.
Red pill me on why Shokoko is a bad trannylation
>>287276386Yura needs to stop hanging around playgrounds.
Natsuki is simply not that important to get the new Kuregumo. It makes more sense for Chihiro to have both blades and with the illustration this chapter of the Rebel swordsman carrying two blades fighting the government controlled insect themed enemy, just makes it even more clear.
you should kill yourself
>>287276415Uruha....
What's a short sword?
Natsuki will get New Kuregumo, Chihiro will forge a brand new Enchanted Blade to duel wield with. He will also forge Kiri an Enchanted Odachi.
>>287276415Refined Datenseki that doesn't make you explode will obviously be a development later, so he could get one of those and fightfag along with Azami and Shiba.
>>287276479I'm a little surprised it hasn't happened yet. Would be a great way to help the non EB fighters get more screentime and keep up.
>>287276501>Azami can punch EVEN HARDER
>>287276556>Punch harder but it's kinoTakeru-sama...
Natsuki getting an EB or realizing his self worth isn't tied to one?
>>287276582The latter but then he immediately walks that revelation back the moment Chihiro offers him one.
>>287276589>The latter but then he immediately walks that revelation back the moment Chihiro offers him one.kino
Iori is useless BTW
>>287276615She will give birth to Ikura's baby
>>287276652*Chihiro's baby
>>287276671this
She'll give birth to MY baby...
Mikaboshi must be destroyed.
>>287276714Why does this have so much aura?
>>287276696You will never be Chihiro Rokuhira. You have no Enchanted Blade, you have no scar, you have no tragic backstory. You're a fat nerd twisted by delusions of grandeur into a crude mockery of Kunishige Rokurhira's perfection.
>>287276729No Soga, you are the Mikaboshi
>>287276729Akemura Bonaparte.
The only good Islander is a dead Islander.
Don't underestimate Natsuki.
In my dreams this is an 80 chapters long arc but you have to be realistic about these things so I’d be surprised and happy if it reaches 40
ChiHERO peacefully resting on QUEENkane's thighs...
>>287277264I think 50 chapters is a good and somewhat plausible middleground.
>>287277293It still plenty of time, yes. As long as it’s not shorter than Rakuzaichi it’s already a slight win after the breakneck pace and no pause in Part 1
>>287277269*CUTEori's thighs...
Hakuri is SHIT
>>287277335>it’s already a slight win after the breakneck pace and no pause in Part 1I hope now that Akemura's escaped containment Takeru starts to let the story breathe a little and slows the pacing down, we need some downtime in the present plot as well.
I hope now that Akemura's escaped containment Tafuku starts to let Char breathe a little and slows the pacing down

Surely the anime will be announced this year, right?
*NOW
>>287277446Hope not.
>>287277389>Chihiro just can't into blacksmithing >Gets tutored by Subaru
>>287277495I read that as 'Gets tortured by Subaru'.
>>287277495Need that
>>287270654How much incest is in the Soga Monogatari
>>287277535I'm expecting Chihiro to already have finished reforging Enten and Kuregumo when we get back to the present plot, but I hope I'm wrong.
>>287277572Please fucking no.
>>287277591I really want to be wrong, but the possibility is there. I'd like for Chihiro reforging the blades to be a process we witness instead of something that gets glossed over offscreen. Hopefully Takeru recognizes offscreening that would suck.
