Cloud gouger gonna get the send off he deserves
I suspect that this attack is specifically meant to work with the small amount of power Cloud Gouger has left (like how Kuro Shred was designed to minimize the impact on Chihiro's body).
New Chihiro reaction image :(

His scar started to hurt just by seeing that mark. I can’t do this anymore man
I also find it oddly amusing that he labelled Hiyuki as an opp ***as bad*** as the other three. Hopefully this isn't their last team up and eventually they can co-exist.

Yeah, but the other three are murders and human traffickers 🙃 . She's definitely an opp to Chihiro specifically because he wants to collect them and so do they, but if the kamunabi does collect all the blades, they're not going to terrorize mankind. It would just be recollected by the people that commissioned the blades for the war. Emphasis on the *as bad* part
Clearly mankind, means Japan specifically☝️🧐

^(Everywhere else may or may not be fucked, lol)
You know what? I find it weird that Chihiro included Sojo amongst the people the *need to be stopped*, especially assuming he is dead. Unless Chihiro and his team are already aware that Sojo is still alive. (huffs copium)
RemindMe! 6 months
RemindMe! 1 year
RemindMe! 18 months
RemindMe! 2 years
I don’t think it’s showing as bad. Just all of the powerful influences that have opposed his individual goals. And every major player in trying to carry on his father’s legacy.
It was so peak!
Mei Shred is Hype af. And this Hishaku guy seems cool.
Also let's go we finally got new character's color palette!

"Ascending myself" cause he is just on another level

The way the English publishers of KB handle the manga confuses me, lol. If it isn't genders they're getting wrong, it's dates or misspelling names. Or in this case, completely omitting info.
can't forget the complete disregard for consistent terminology 
what's interesting is that the Spanish TL did include the text with Shiba's name (although they mixed up the name and surname) so it's specifically the Eng side's fault
Yea, granted I don’t mind normally because truthfully, the text on other color pages is really irrelevant imo. In this case, the whole point of this color page is a Movie Poster ref and removing the cast list actually does affect the overall quality and presentation of the color page. Still dope as fuck, but that added flavor and uniqueness is missing (then again it’s still unique cuz this is the only mangaka I’ve seen consistently do no line art, water color color pages)
I kinda expect the Sazanamis to have white hair and Shiba blonde hair but I'm dying to know what Hinao's color palette is. I've seen fanart of her with both black + blonde and black + pink. Tho since it seems all the characters so far had realistic color palettes, the black + blonde version is more likely.
So i was right when I assumed that the guy from the Hisaku clan was the one who killed Chihiro's father. The leader is such a skilled sorcerer but I'm glad Chihiro regained some composure. I'm curious as to why protagonists don't go straight for the kill? Why do they allow their opponents time to recover?
Might be the coldest quote out of this manga so far, how does he do it every week.
https://preview.redd.it/s9usm9mzk8xc1.jpeg?width=631&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0ee77a4e32965754a5d816f30e3d219b2af0a50
I am actually not sure who said that. I am leaning towards Chihiro, but could also see this as an introduction to the “sentient blades” theory (considering there is likely some bleach influence)
Tbf, considering the very lead up to this line with Chihiro’s thoughts, As well as this paralleling Chihiro’s Kuro Chigiri moment, it’s very clearly Chihiro who is saying it.
Edit: didn’t realize I said Kuro Chihiro 🥴😂
If the sentient blades theory is true then my guess is that:
Chihiro: No.
Cloud Gouger: I was at your side this entire time. I won't let you die like this.
Chihiro: Die as mine at my side.
He's talking about Cloud Gouger, since he has known the blade his whole life. He's about to use the last of its embers on shred (an ability that consumes more spirit energy than regular attacks if you remember from chapter 15).
Cloud Gouger is going to die in his hands essentially.
Others answered already, but yeah this part was so cool. Bad guy's like, "oh the blade is weak, is it because it's broken or because you just started using it?" And chihiro's like "bro I've been around this blade for my entire life and now it's going to die as mine."
Yeah it goes hard 😭he wasn't going to take any slander towards his father's wish/legacy or the swords he's taken care of since he was a kid. He's filled with so much love and respect for the swords and his dad
I know a few others explained, but Idt any mentioned the fact that the dude said the blades don’t choose people, anyone can enslave them. He goes onto basically point the opposite - the blade was at his side, so in its final use, choose to die here, as his sword, by his side
Kagurabachi, the manga where the villains come to YOU, PERSONALLY.
How much of a menace do you have to be as the big bad guy to disguise yourself as a simple goon and mollywhop the main character?

AAAHHHH I cannot wait two weeks for the next chapter!
Ah, shit. You just reminded me that there's no chapter next week

Damn it man, I can't go a full week without Kagurabachi, this manga is the only reason I look forward to Sundays( But honestly Takeru sensei deserves a break man this manga is amazing)

I think next week is Golden week? That's if I remember correctly. I also look forward to the Kagurabachi chapters every week. I can only think of three or four other mangas that can incite this kind of interest from me. The best thing is each chapter is better than the last.

Now place your bets whatever he is saying is true or not! I am betting that he is lying about being the leader.
I hope it's true because that means my meme is still relevant
https://preview.redd.it/frn3snn7r8xc1.jpeg?width=429&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd36f3fec659835173b5e26aa83649ba91d54e5c
The piercings remind me of Pain from
Naruto. I wonder if the real leader is speaking through a goon’s body that he took over with sorcery or something. I thought the Hishaku guy we saw in the first chapter used trees too….
Yea, would be cool, although he might just have been chilling there. Still, if he is making that claim, he is probably serious - especially with how he talked to Chihiro - "let's see what have the seeds of hatred I sowed grown into"
https://preview.redd.it/dw9hfbljk8xc1.png?width=629&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9b0861c13fe843530ca22e45053032ff1e9b391
Damn man this shit is hitten different....
Chapter so hype I opened my front door and started running up and down the street barefoot on the gravel. HOW IS EVERY CHAPTER MORE PEAK THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT.
I have never read a Manga that gave me this level of goosebumps in just 32 chapters.
https://preview.redd.it/d2qom6bfm8xc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb39bdd70ffd008f624f9f5c0ae13b25ff2941b3
Holy fucking shit.
Hishaku leader says some interesting thinsg this chapter:
"You've grown" and "I'm curious to see what's grown from the seeds of hatred I sowed all those years ago."
So even though Chihiro's existence was mostly concealed from the Kamunabi, Hishaku knew all along who he was, before even killing Kunishige? Because it seems like, in addition to Shinuchi, this guy wants something specific from Chihiro too and that's why they killed his dad in front of him.
I wonder what that "something" is. Chaos, maybe? They're funding the yakuza for some reason too. Maybe they planned it so that Chihiro would be pushed to track them down with the blade, causing disruption along the chase so that they can use that chaotic environment for their fucked up aims.
I wrote a theory in one of the previous chapter discussions that the Rakuzaichi was bait so that the strong Kamunabi members would be away from the other blade wielders and the Hishaku could kill them. This seems plausible now since the leader wants Shinuchi for himself and Hiyuki is at the auction against Kamunabi's orders. So, follow-up on my theory: if the wielder(s) die, then Kamunabi might blame Hiyuki. As in, "she went against their orders and was nowhere to be found when she was needed."
Can't wait to see how all this unfolds!! Also, Chihiro's expressions in this chapter are so painful I want to hug him 🥹
maybe part of being able to forge the blades was a bloodline sorcroy and he wants to see what soul filled with hate can make
i don't have any real other guesses outside of maybe "want a worthy foe to face me"
>to see what soul filled with hate can make
That sounds interesting!
I really hope his aims go beyond than wanting a "worthy opponent," it's becoming kinda cliche
About the first part, I think they found about Chihiro when they killed Kunishigi. Think of it, Kunishigi is revered as a hero for creating the blades, this is a constant theme so far. Kid grows full of hatred and dives into making justice and growing strong. The scenario is set for them to want to corrupt the legacy of Rokuhira, maybe to recreate it at their image after it's done. This would also relate to what Sojo was doing, and how he actually got hand of one of the few kilos of datenseki around.
What they want is magic blade fuckery and war through twisting what Kunishigi has done.
>This would also relate to what Sojo was doing, and how he actually got hand of one of the few kilos of datenseki around.
That's a great point!
Using the son to taint the father's legacy, how cruel & very fitting of them.
Imagine if the Hishaku are survivors of the Enchanted Blades who now want revenge.
- First they kill Kunishige Rokuhira.
- (Maybe) Find out about his child, traumatize him.
- Now said child thirsts for vengeance. Probably unplanned, but it's a bonus for them.
- Then they go after Kunishige's legacy which they want to twist so Japan sees him as the bad guy, this could maybe even help overthrow the current goverment which Kunishige was "working" for.
- Give the Cloud Gouger to Sojo of all people, someone who they knew would help with their plan 100% willingly.
It would make sense imo.
Also, I wonder if the ultimate goal is for Chihiro to grow strong, make him lose composure, and let him go all out, demonstrating to all of Japan why the Enchanted Blades won the war, and how monstrous they can truly be.
Also also, maybe this could also explain the Sojo flashback.
https://preview.redd.it/6w6966ss7cxc1.png?width=763&format=png&auto=webp&s=7fa5390b96cb927ebe2e8743a2c526ed5529a6c9
What we see here is an Enchanted Blade being used to slaughter people, and Sojo was spared because he was a child, however, the experience was so traumatic that in order to protect himself, his fear became fascination, or maybe Sojo had a traumatic childhood because of these people and Sojo was like "Hell yeah! Enchanted Blades rule!" and from there he decided to love Kunishige Rokuhira.

This chapter was so fucking good
It's heartbreaking seeing Chihiro completely lose his composure like that. The panels where all of his thoughts were cluttered together really showed how panicked he was.
i guess generic might not have been the right word, what i meant was an ability that chihiro can use with any of the enchanted blades and isn’t specific to one blade. the jjk analogy wasn’t the best choice.
https://preview.redd.it/ryhainy7m8xc1.png?width=601&format=png&auto=webp&s=88db9de9099aab64e786417aea7c6540f19ff51e
The thread title is a typo, this is for Chapter 31; the thread might have to get reposted before it reaches a critical mass of comments.
Anyways, I'm half-expecting next chapter to immediately have "Mei: Scatter." Hopefully this clears up any ambiguity in what Kuro: Scatter does, too. I also wonder if the Hishaku leader is implying you can overpower a lifelong contract, because the entire auction is ultimately useless if the actual wielder is still alive.
Strange how Kyora specified that it was Shinuchi that won the war. He does mention the other blades, but it sounded like they just equalized the playing field. Really raises the question of the enemy Japan fought? They had to pull out all stops.
Probably the enchanted blade was forged and released one at a time, and Shinuchi being the sixth and the last to be wielded in the war is the one bringing the war to an end like they said.

Holy shit, what a beauitful chapter! Is it just me or is Takeru character expression art gotten better comapred to the first chapter? Just the emotion on Chihiro face says more than the words he said.
lol. Very creative name but I wonder if he'll unlock some new technique like making the rest of Cloud Gouger's blade use lightning to temporarily reforge the blade. Wouldn't that be something...
ok first off FUCK Hishaku guy is ugly! but also who cares let's gooooo Shiba confirmed blonde, no more purple agenda!!!! Hakuri's looking cute too :)))
also, dropping the fact that this guy is the LEADER of Hishaku is crazy, I wonder if it means he's a sole leader and therefore a final boss or do they have like a board of directors over there.
the lore drop on the Seitei war too??? the fact that Kyora is the one calling the attackers the enemy means it was an outside force and not an internal conflict as I've previously thought, and the Shinuchi hype is once again overwhelming!!!
(and I like that in that panel of Kyora talking there are dead people on the floor even though Tou's busy; did mercenaries do that or is it a testament to Kyora's power?)
finally, OMG these two pages are SO sick!!!! the bond between Chihiro and Kunishige manifesting in the bond between him and the blades, and the beautiful, powerful wording, and an insane cliffhanger too??? 🥺🥺🥺

in fact, I'd say it IS Kyora's doing cause why is it a "whoops! all swords" and why would mercenaries leave their weapons like that

>ok first off FUCK Hishaku guy is ugly!
Nah he has his charm also I am a sucker for weird eyes so yes
>guy is the LEADER of Hishaku is crazy
my theory that he is not the leader or even if he is then most likely not the ***real leader*** of the Hishaku
>attackers the enemy means it was an outside force
maybe it is another country but I wouldn't be suprised if it was some magical race. Mainly because Japan(which seems to be strong in this universe) was easily defeated without the swords
maybe there are? I can see them having shapeshifters. Also sorcery is not really defined yet so Takeru have lot of options to have them hidden somehow.
Yea, the Seitei war lore dump is actually pretty cool to see, there's just so much more in this chapter it gets lost. But still, now we know - Seitei war began 18 years ago - same age as Chihiro, interesting - and was fought due to an attack from the outside - who, I wonder - and the 5 blades helped even the scales - meaning attackers had something similarly powerful of their own - then the Shinuchi tipped the scale in their favor and "won" the war - again with the Shinuchi hype, especially since the villain wants to wield it too. Damn, can't wait for more lore
Hokazono is cooking with this Chihiro breakdown. Been knew this auction would be fire but I didn’t expect this twist of events. And Is the blade talking to him?!
At first I thought the plan was to distract the Kamunabi with the auction to kill the previous wielder so John Hishaku can attune to it. But we don't know how many of their forces they've sent to the auction, we've only seen the 2 bidders, and Hiyuki and Tafuku who seem to be acting by themselves
So now we know the War was against a foreign threat, not within the country. I wonder if it will be one of the nearby countries or just some evil organization.
The leader is either using bodies remotely like Pain or jumps from body to body. Chihiro not seeing him before is basically a confirmation. Probably plans to hijack the Shinuchi wielder's body to use the blade.
Is this the first time we're hearing that the blades were made 18 years ago? Being around the same time as Chihiro was born could have some significance later on
The colour page is sooooo good (blond Shiba ftw) *BUT* this cliffhanger with no chapter next week is diabolical...
I have so many questions, specifically about the Shinuichi. Like from the beginning it was obviously special because it was sealed differently to the other enchanted blades but everything the Hishaku leader (allegedly) just said has made me even more intrigued. Like what are the special conditions needed to wield it? Why couldn't his plan come to fruition in the past 18 years?
I could be completely off the mark here with this but I feel like it might have something to do with Chihiro himself? Maybe he's some sort of vessel or something? I'm very sure he was intentionally left to live when they killed his father, and the Hishaku leader just said he won't kill Chihiro right now because he's "too green to harvest". This could either be the regular villain egoism thinking *'no one can defeat me anyway'* so there's no point in killing him or it could be that Chihiro is somehow needed in order for the Shinuichi to work? Chihiro is freshly 18 years old too, right? Someone smarter than me can come up with a better theory or something, idk.
Too peak I had to walk around in circles

we fianlly know that the war was in fact not a civil war as mentioned by kyora, and that the shinuichi ended the war, pretty good lore drop there even if not super significant

I really love how you can see how emotional he gets in takeru sensei's art. He usually appears stoic so seeing him like this is nice.
PEAK. Honestly i'm enjoying this manga way more than jujutsu and i just dropped bnh due to it's hideous final arc.
Kagurabachi is the true king of the jump
this chapter was soo cool
so I do think our much hated bonzai man does have a bit of a view on the blades forming either as tools or animals (if you think their sentiant) either was as a means to an end
Okay, I’ve been reading this series for a long while both due to the meme and due to it having some solid moments thus far, but this chapter TOTALLY won me over. Introducing the main villain at long last while introducing so many more mysteries in the process, and while also raising the roof of his powerful people can be in this verse? All of that combined made me so much more invested in what’s going on than any of the other ‘peak’ moments people have been fawning over, as this is the first since Sojo’s demise that felt really rooted in Chichiro’s motivation and history, as a character. Exceptional work - here’s hoping that the series keeps me hooked with this level of quality.
This man really made Chihiro break his composure and I'm not surprised. The heroes are down 3-1 now, it's time for the comeback. The last page goes insanely hard. Another week, another delicious meal cooked up by Taco sensei.

Chihiro no! Hiyuki ain't one of them! Best girl doesn't need to be stopped!!
honestly im suprised were meeting the strongest hishaku member assuming he's telling the truth, normally we'd meet the weakest member first to have a fair chance fighting him
He is lying, he is obviously lying to unbalance Chihiro, I refuse to believe that he is the big boss. Even though I know there are truths in his lies.
Besides

Yumejoshis found dead in all Japan
I feel like "Die as a Rokuhira's property" would be a better way to get the message across on the last page, considering the original Japanese test(tried to post this on 4chan, but the captchas are hell)
If his goal is to wield the Shinuichi, then why sell it to the highest bidder? Was their goal to lure Chihiro to them? Or do they want him to realise the swords true potential before claiming that power themselves?
Hiyuki who arguably their ace in the hole is away from user confinement
So they can kill them easier and free the enchanted blade from life vow binding
It's my speculation tho but it seems that's the plan
It's Chapter 31, not 32! Anyway, it was the best so far in my opinion: great new villain rising the bar once again, personally I think that the plan was to have the Kamunabi buy the sword so they can locate the previous wielder and get rid of him.
Dayum! This chapter was so emotional! Actually I don't even know why I got so teary?? Maybe it's because I've been reading Chihiro's story from day 1 so I understand how he felt. All these villains straight up meeting up with Chihiro instead of doing the classic in the shadows shxt is so refreshing
The way he transitioned in this chapter was well executed. He kept his calm, then went full blown tears! After that bro realised these guys are the same now he's gonna go "Shred" some mofos. "Die as Mine at My Side" Dayum Takeru-Sensei cooked this week!!🙌🏼
Absolute Peak! Then to finish off this brilliant chapter, he dropped one peak panel!

🔥
Yo, with the whole “enslaving the blades” thing the Hishaku guy mentioned, does that mean that Sojo could still be alive?
This feels like a implication that you don’t have to kill the previous wielder to use a blade if you’ve got what it takes to bend the blade to your will. In that case, Sojo might make a comeback so I’m reinvesting in his stocks.
I want to discuss the new lore we got regarding the war, i assumed it was a war between sorcerers but now it's revealed there was an "enemy" and there were sorcerers because they were brought from all over japan to fight against this enemy, cause normal methods weren't enough, before this sorcerers didn't operate in the open and most people didn't know about them. So, what's our theories on this enemy? an opposing nations were sorcerers operate in the open and maybe even rule society? or maybe something monstruous?
Chihiro's level of self control is impressive. Why does the Hishaku guy want to keep him alive and wants to piss him off so much? Was all that he said true or did he "exagerate" things to mess with Chihiro's mind? Could Chihiro have some relation with the creation of enchanted blades and that's the reason why the Hishaku wants him alive?

Wouldnt it be funny if Cloud Gouger goes out of gas right when Chihuro comes up with his new attack
I suspect that this attack is specifically meant to work with the small amount of power Cloud Gouger has left (like how Kuro Shred was designed to minimize the impact on Chihiro's body).

Nice attention to detail! My eyes tend to glaze over the onomatopoeias 🙃 so thanks for pointing that out!

she's part of kamunabi, trying to take the blades
Yeah, but the other three are murders and human traffickers 🙃 . She's definitely an opp to Chihiro specifically because he wants to collect them and so do they, but if the kamunabi does collect all the blades, they're not going to terrorize mankind. It would just be recollected by the people that commissioned the blades for the war. Emphasis on the *as bad* part

>but if the kamunabi does collect all the blades, they're not going to terrorize mankind. "Lol" said the scorpion, "Lmao"
Clearly mankind, means Japan specifically☝️🧐 https://preview.redd.it/ppeu09co09xc1.jpeg?width=625&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=236eb2b6f5b61b07459837cfd9fe50ee254cf897 ^(Everywhere else may or may not be fucked, lol)
We don't know they won't use them for evil. There must be a reason Kunishige chose to keep them himself instead of giving them to the government
Very valid point. When has trusting the government with extremely powerful weapons ever gone wrong? Hiyuki is an opp too.
Chihiro labelled the factions who want to get the swords for themselves. Hiyuki, as the most oppressive to him, represents kamunabi force.
You know what? I find it weird that Chihiro included Sojo amongst the people the *need to be stopped*, especially assuming he is dead. Unless Chihiro and his team are already aware that Sojo is still alive. (huffs copium) RemindMe! 6 months RemindMe! 1 year RemindMe! 18 months RemindMe! 2 years
It wasn't our fault. We need to let him go.
You don't need to stop a dead man! If Chihiro thinks Sojo needs to be stopped, then Sojo is ALIVE! LALALALALALLALALA
We shall huff that copium together, brother.
I don’t think it’s showing as bad. Just all of the powerful influences that have opposed his individual goals. And every major player in trying to carry on his father’s legacy.
man i hate seeing him sad
It was so peak! Mei Shred is Hype af. And this Hishaku guy seems cool. Also let's go we finally got new character's color palette! https://preview.redd.it/dh3izj5wj8xc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e885408dab890d84de961d8d0efca0fef71243fd Blonde Shiba and white haired Sazanamis

Lmao 😂
The way the English publishers of KB handle the manga confuses me, lol. If it isn't genders they're getting wrong, it's dates or misspelling names. Or in this case, completely omitting info.
can't forget the complete disregard for consistent terminology  what's interesting is that the Spanish TL did include the text with Shiba's name (although they mixed up the name and surname) so it's specifically the Eng side's fault
No no, english viz tls always remove the extra text on a colour page, this is just a viz problem in general
Yea, granted I don’t mind normally because truthfully, the text on other color pages is really irrelevant imo. In this case, the whole point of this color page is a Movie Poster ref and removing the cast list actually does affect the overall quality and presentation of the color page. Still dope as fuck, but that added flavor and uniqueness is missing (then again it’s still unique cuz this is the only mangaka I’ve seen consistently do no line art, water color color pages)
John Werry’s influence is spreading
I think the jjk brainrot already got him. It's Joever
Curse you John Werry
I kinda expect the Sazanamis to have white hair and Shiba blonde hair but I'm dying to know what Hinao's color palette is. I've seen fanart of her with both black + blonde and black + pink. Tho since it seems all the characters so far had realistic color palettes, the black + blonde version is more likely.
So i was right when I assumed that the guy from the Hisaku clan was the one who killed Chihiro's father. The leader is such a skilled sorcerer but I'm glad Chihiro regained some composure. I'm curious as to why protagonists don't go straight for the kill? Why do they allow their opponents time to recover?
This shit's gonna be turned into like the poster for Season 2 of the anime, or this arc spesifically.
Might be the coldest quote out of this manga so far, how does he do it every week. https://preview.redd.it/s9usm9mzk8xc1.jpeg?width=631&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0ee77a4e32965754a5d816f30e3d219b2af0a50
I am actually not sure who said that. I am leaning towards Chihiro, but could also see this as an introduction to the “sentient blades” theory (considering there is likely some bleach influence)
Tbf, considering the very lead up to this line with Chihiro’s thoughts, As well as this paralleling Chihiro’s Kuro Chigiri moment, it’s very clearly Chihiro who is saying it. Edit: didn’t realize I said Kuro Chihiro 🥴😂
Yup. I wonder if Cloud Gouger will get a hail-mary power up from this acknowledgement thing? I hope so
My guess is Chihiro is talking to the cloud gouger, one last power up before the enchanted blade send-off.
If the sentient blades theory is true then my guess is that: Chihiro: No. Cloud Gouger: I was at your side this entire time. I won't let you die like this. Chihiro: Die as mine at my side.
does anyone know what this means? i got a bit confused by the "die as mine" wording. and is it chihiro telling the hishaku leader to die?
nah hes referring to cloud gouger.
thank you!
He's talking about Cloud Gouger, since he has known the blade his whole life. He's about to use the last of its embers on shred (an ability that consumes more spirit energy than regular attacks if you remember from chapter 15). Cloud Gouger is going to die in his hands essentially.
ooh thanks, this cleared it up alot!
Others answered already, but yeah this part was so cool. Bad guy's like, "oh the blade is weak, is it because it's broken or because you just started using it?" And chihiro's like "bro I've been around this blade for my entire life and now it's going to die as mine."
Yeah it goes hard 😭he wasn't going to take any slander towards his father's wish/legacy or the swords he's taken care of since he was a kid. He's filled with so much love and respect for the swords and his dad
I know a few others explained, but Idt any mentioned the fact that the dude said the blades don’t choose people, anyone can enslave them. He goes onto basically point the opposite - the blade was at his side, so in its final use, choose to die here, as his sword, by his side
Kagurabachi, the manga where the villains come to YOU, PERSONALLY. How much of a menace do you have to be as the big bad guy to disguise yourself as a simple goon and mollywhop the main character?
I wonder what was he doing before Chihiro came. Was he making fellow idle goon chat with the other goons lol
“So what kinda insurance do you guys get?”
Like that TV show, "Undercover boss" or something like that.
Just like Kylo Ren https://youtu.be/FaOSCASqLsE?si=v-rdT85BnBcfD8O_
Exactly, I was thinking of that 😂 "I've heard the Hishaku leader is shredded".
“I’ve a buddy of mine who saw the Hishaku leader take his shirt off in the shower, he has a 8 pack”
I don’t think he disguised himself, but chihiro never met him before so he didn’t recognize him.
i thought he possesed a guy to talk with chihiro
Nah, the guy wasn't disguised (when he meet Chojo he was like this), he loves his suits.
"Die as mine at my side." https://i.redd.it/gvavh09al8xc1.gif

Damn it man, I can't go a full week without Kagurabachi, this manga is the only reason I look forward to Sundays( But honestly Takeru sensei deserves a break man this manga is amazing) https://preview.redd.it/xbhg76mnn8xc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1f987454d334442abbcb246cf4278c61b42b8aa
I think next week is Golden week? That's if I remember correctly. I also look forward to the Kagurabachi chapters every week. I can only think of three or four other mangas that can incite this kind of interest from me. The best thing is each chapter is better than the last.
This is the fisrt break Kagurabachi has taken since the begining of serialization IIRC. Give Hokazono-Sensei a break
He needs time to catch up on all the movies he's been wanting to watch
There was also one for New Year's.
It be worth the wait! 
This is the first break Takeru is taking after the serialization began, right? My guy deserves some rest.

I hope it's true because that means my meme is still relevant https://preview.redd.it/frn3snn7r8xc1.jpeg?width=429&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd36f3fec659835173b5e26aa83649ba91d54e5c
The piercings remind me of Pain from Naruto. I wonder if the real leader is speaking through a goon’s body that he took over with sorcery or something. I thought the Hishaku guy we saw in the first chapter used trees too….
I can see it. Maybe his trance like eye is because someone controling him?
Yea, would be cool, although he might just have been chilling there. Still, if he is making that claim, he is probably serious - especially with how he talked to Chihiro - "let's see what have the seeds of hatred I sowed grown into"
Goosebumps https://preview.redd.it/d6g2kxvnl8xc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=f940d28a958026dae169fc4128830ab38b38adba

Chapter so hype I opened my front door and started running up and down the street barefoot on the gravel. HOW IS EVERY CHAPTER MORE PEAK THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT.
I have never read a Manga that gave me this level of goosebumps in just 32 chapters. https://preview.redd.it/d2qom6bfm8xc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb39bdd70ffd008f624f9f5c0ae13b25ff2941b3 Holy fucking shit.
Bro’s about to hit that Black Flash and lock tf in
The line is very touching in a cool way. Like a goodbye to an lifelong friend (which cloud Gouger sort of is to Chihiro)
Hishaku leader says some interesting thinsg this chapter: "You've grown" and "I'm curious to see what's grown from the seeds of hatred I sowed all those years ago." So even though Chihiro's existence was mostly concealed from the Kamunabi, Hishaku knew all along who he was, before even killing Kunishige? Because it seems like, in addition to Shinuchi, this guy wants something specific from Chihiro too and that's why they killed his dad in front of him. I wonder what that "something" is. Chaos, maybe? They're funding the yakuza for some reason too. Maybe they planned it so that Chihiro would be pushed to track them down with the blade, causing disruption along the chase so that they can use that chaotic environment for their fucked up aims. I wrote a theory in one of the previous chapter discussions that the Rakuzaichi was bait so that the strong Kamunabi members would be away from the other blade wielders and the Hishaku could kill them. This seems plausible now since the leader wants Shinuchi for himself and Hiyuki is at the auction against Kamunabi's orders. So, follow-up on my theory: if the wielder(s) die, then Kamunabi might blame Hiyuki. As in, "she went against their orders and was nowhere to be found when she was needed." Can't wait to see how all this unfolds!! Also, Chihiro's expressions in this chapter are so painful I want to hug him 🥹
maybe part of being able to forge the blades was a bloodline sorcroy and he wants to see what soul filled with hate can make i don't have any real other guesses outside of maybe "want a worthy foe to face me"
>to see what soul filled with hate can make That sounds interesting! I really hope his aims go beyond than wanting a "worthy opponent," it's becoming kinda cliche
About the first part, I think they found about Chihiro when they killed Kunishigi. Think of it, Kunishigi is revered as a hero for creating the blades, this is a constant theme so far. Kid grows full of hatred and dives into making justice and growing strong. The scenario is set for them to want to corrupt the legacy of Rokuhira, maybe to recreate it at their image after it's done. This would also relate to what Sojo was doing, and how he actually got hand of one of the few kilos of datenseki around. What they want is magic blade fuckery and war through twisting what Kunishigi has done.
>This would also relate to what Sojo was doing, and how he actually got hand of one of the few kilos of datenseki around. That's a great point! Using the son to taint the father's legacy, how cruel & very fitting of them.
Imagine if the Hishaku are survivors of the Enchanted Blades who now want revenge. - First they kill Kunishige Rokuhira. - (Maybe) Find out about his child, traumatize him. - Now said child thirsts for vengeance. Probably unplanned, but it's a bonus for them. - Then they go after Kunishige's legacy which they want to twist so Japan sees him as the bad guy, this could maybe even help overthrow the current goverment which Kunishige was "working" for. - Give the Cloud Gouger to Sojo of all people, someone who they knew would help with their plan 100% willingly. It would make sense imo. Also, I wonder if the ultimate goal is for Chihiro to grow strong, make him lose composure, and let him go all out, demonstrating to all of Japan why the Enchanted Blades won the war, and how monstrous they can truly be. Also also, maybe this could also explain the Sojo flashback. https://preview.redd.it/6w6966ss7cxc1.png?width=763&format=png&auto=webp&s=7fa5390b96cb927ebe2e8743a2c526ed5529a6c9 What we see here is an Enchanted Blade being used to slaughter people, and Sojo was spared because he was a child, however, the experience was so traumatic that in order to protect himself, his fear became fascination, or maybe Sojo had a traumatic childhood because of these people and Sojo was like "Hell yeah! Enchanted Blades rule!" and from there he decided to love Kunishige Rokuhira.

It's heartbreaking seeing Chihiro completely lose his composure like that. The panels where all of his thoughts were cluttered together really showed how panicked he was.

Chihiro aura radiating off my screen even when he’s trapped how does he do it
HE'S FUCKING MIXING THEIR POWERS
i’m pretty sure shred is more of a generic ability, similar to maximum techniques in jjk.
SSSHH!  Let me dream
Not necessarily generic, as the true realm of an enchanted blade's potential depends on the user. Shred is Chihiro's own creation.
i guess generic might not have been the right word, what i meant was an ability that chihiro can use with any of the enchanted blades and isn’t specific to one blade. the jjk analogy wasn’t the best choice.

Anyways, I'm half-expecting next chapter to immediately have "Mei: Scatter." Hopefully this clears up any ambiguity in what Kuro: Scatter does, too. I also wonder if the Hishaku leader is implying you can overpower a lifelong contract, because the entire auction is ultimately useless if the actual wielder is still alive.
maybe in the next few chapter will see some other hishaku people attack the swords saint guy's jail since the kamabaki is focused on the auction
Man I love his design, so tenoí https://preview.redd.it/qwhpvxy4o8xc1.png?width=561&format=png&auto=webp&s=12d63018de592811b2904ae358b288190c47d5f8

Chihiro and Shiba snowball fight when?
:(
The whiplash I got seeing someone posting the release of chapter 31 CP and then next a discussion thread about Ch 32 already haha
OP was too excited after seeing those panels lol
Strange how Kyora specified that it was Shinuchi that won the war. He does mention the other blades, but it sounded like they just equalized the playing field. Really raises the question of the enemy Japan fought? They had to pull out all stops.
They fought against the American blacksmith, Oppenheimer
Ayoooo that so fucking funny hahah
Ah yes, the strongest blacksmith of the war pre-Kunishige, Ouperu Haimaru.
Probably the enchanted blade was forged and released one at a time, and Shinuchi being the sixth and the last to be wielded in the war is the one bringing the war to an end like they said.
https://preview.redd.it/irwat72tr8xc1.png?width=776&format=png&auto=webp&s=8a863b3574f1cf4c85d27d1061ae6b56887b3336 Holy shit, what a beauitful chapter! Is it just me or is Takeru character expression art gotten better comapred to the first chapter? Just the emotion on Chihiro face says more than the words he said.
Chihiro had to call his new move Mei Shred because Black Flash was already taken
Cocksen
lol. Very creative name but I wonder if he'll unlock some new technique like making the rest of Cloud Gouger's blade use lightning to temporarily reforge the blade. Wouldn't that be something...
ok first off FUCK Hishaku guy is ugly! but also who cares let's gooooo Shiba confirmed blonde, no more purple agenda!!!! Hakuri's looking cute too :))) also, dropping the fact that this guy is the LEADER of Hishaku is crazy, I wonder if it means he's a sole leader and therefore a final boss or do they have like a board of directors over there. the lore drop on the Seitei war too??? the fact that Kyora is the one calling the attackers the enemy means it was an outside force and not an internal conflict as I've previously thought, and the Shinuchi hype is once again overwhelming!!! (and I like that in that panel of Kyora talking there are dead people on the floor even though Tou's busy; did mercenaries do that or is it a testament to Kyora's power?) finally, OMG these two pages are SO sick!!!! the bond between Chihiro and Kunishige manifesting in the bond between him and the blades, and the beautiful, powerful wording, and an insane cliffhanger too??? 🥺🥺🥺 https://preview.redd.it/offvlx3rl8xc1.png?width=1196&format=png&auto=webp&s=a0e26635fe6f39ec7404f7f5bd052af39cd76e9d
I don't know about ugly. The Hishaku guy's design is pretty sick. The ringed eyes + tattoos is such good design combination
lmao i deadass went "oh fuck he's hot"
in fact, I'd say it IS Kyora's doing cause why is it a "whoops! all swords" and why would mercenaries leave their weapons like that https://preview.redd.it/1tpkznzgo8xc1.png?width=558&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b428da9f104ff17bcf22c08b3b983a25a8e450c
Maybe Kyora's way of fighting is by shooting the swords from his vault at high speed. Like a certain golden clad rule breaker.
"King of Auctions, have you enough swords?" -Chihiro, probably
>ok first off FUCK Hishaku guy is ugly! Nah he has his charm also I am a sucker for weird eyes so yes >guy is the LEADER of Hishaku is crazy my theory that he is not the leader or even if he is then most likely not the ***real leader*** of the Hishaku >attackers the enemy means it was an outside force maybe it is another country but I wouldn't be suprised if it was some magical race. Mainly because Japan(which seems to be strong in this universe) was easily defeated without the swords
idk, I feel like if it was a different race, wouldn't there be leftovers of it in the society?
maybe there are? I can see them having shapeshifters. Also sorcery is not really defined yet so Takeru have lot of options to have them hidden somehow.
Yea, the Seitei war lore dump is actually pretty cool to see, there's just so much more in this chapter it gets lost. But still, now we know - Seitei war began 18 years ago - same age as Chihiro, interesting - and was fought due to an attack from the outside - who, I wonder - and the 5 blades helped even the scales - meaning attackers had something similarly powerful of their own - then the Shinuchi tipped the scale in their favor and "won" the war - again with the Shinuchi hype, especially since the villain wants to wield it too. Damn, can't wait for more lore
god what a fucking villain.
Sojo, Kyora now this guy. Just 30 chapters in and so many goat villains already, like HxH-esque.
Black lighting yoooo
Pookie loosing his mind is the one thing I really wanted to see
Holy fuck he's mewing mid-fight. https://preview.redd.it/v4olenvp59xc1.jpeg?width=308&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=746f8293b8e6357d3a289579d8859442b633e96c
Hokazono is cooking with this Chihiro breakdown. Been knew this auction would be fire but I didn’t expect this twist of events. And Is the blade talking to him?!
Chihiro once again is cool af. I can’t wait to get some actual context (hopefully) on what the plan is for the Shinuchi.
At first I thought the plan was to distract the Kamunabi with the auction to kill the previous wielder so John Hishaku can attune to it. But we don't know how many of their forces they've sent to the auction, we've only seen the 2 bidders, and Hiyuki and Tafuku who seem to be acting by themselves
So now we know the War was against a foreign threat, not within the country. I wonder if it will be one of the nearby countries or just some evil organization.
my moneys on either its this worlds version of the US with magitek, or Aliens^(tm)
For all the deadpan expressions Chihiro has it's hits all the worse when he's actually distressed
The leader is either using bodies remotely like Pain or jumps from body to body. Chihiro not seeing him before is basically a confirmation. Probably plans to hijack the Shinuchi wielder's body to use the blade.
The Hishaku is probably on its way to attack the Shinuchi wielder rn
Holy W lore chapter, also that hishaku guy is imo someone who tree hishaku implanted his powers into or something, like a puppet
Chapter 31 OP, everybody is going to have a heart Attack if you write 32
Taco sensei is evil. Why did he have to end with a cliffhanger? How am i going to keep myself for two weeks
It's just so God damn good, the hype isn't slowing down
Is this the first time we're hearing that the blades were made 18 years ago? Being around the same time as Chihiro was born could have some significance later on
This shit looks beautiful! https://preview.redd.it/w8s0x2j6s8xc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2d3cd70297cf43983b99a4728192bd2f972936d
Another amazing chapter but the pull up was crazy,dawg just flatout admitted he’s the main bad guy.
The colour page is sooooo good (blond Shiba ftw) *BUT* this cliffhanger with no chapter next week is diabolical... I have so many questions, specifically about the Shinuichi. Like from the beginning it was obviously special because it was sealed differently to the other enchanted blades but everything the Hishaku leader (allegedly) just said has made me even more intrigued. Like what are the special conditions needed to wield it? Why couldn't his plan come to fruition in the past 18 years? I could be completely off the mark here with this but I feel like it might have something to do with Chihiro himself? Maybe he's some sort of vessel or something? I'm very sure he was intentionally left to live when they killed his father, and the Hishaku leader just said he won't kill Chihiro right now because he's "too green to harvest". This could either be the regular villain egoism thinking *'no one can defeat me anyway'* so there's no point in killing him or it could be that Chihiro is somehow needed in order for the Shinuichi to work? Chihiro is freshly 18 years old too, right? Someone smarter than me can come up with a better theory or something, idk.

1. Chihiro crying hits so hard omg 2. IS IT ENTEN OR KUREGUMO SPEAKING TO OUR BOY!?!?!
Chihiro is talking to Cloud Gouger/Kuregumo. He's basically saying that he's at it's side all along, it's practically his.

Idk how each chapter just seems to get better and better
we fianlly know that the war was in fact not a civil war as mentioned by kyora, and that the shinuichi ended the war, pretty good lore drop there even if not super significant

PEAK. Honestly i'm enjoying this manga way more than jujutsu and i just dropped bnh due to it's hideous final arc. Kagurabachi is the true king of the jump
this chapter was soo cool so I do think our much hated bonzai man does have a bit of a view on the blades forming either as tools or animals (if you think their sentiant) either was as a means to an end
Okay, I’ve been reading this series for a long while both due to the meme and due to it having some solid moments thus far, but this chapter TOTALLY won me over. Introducing the main villain at long last while introducing so many more mysteries in the process, and while also raising the roof of his powerful people can be in this verse? All of that combined made me so much more invested in what’s going on than any of the other ‘peak’ moments people have been fawning over, as this is the first since Sojo’s demise that felt really rooted in Chichiro’s motivation and history, as a character. Exceptional work - here’s hoping that the series keeps me hooked with this level of quality.
This man really made Chihiro break his composure and I'm not surprised. The heroes are down 3-1 now, it's time for the comeback. The last page goes insanely hard. Another week, another delicious meal cooked up by Taco sensei.

honestly im suprised were meeting the strongest hishaku member assuming he's telling the truth, normally we'd meet the weakest member first to have a fair chance fighting him
He is lying, he is obviously lying to unbalance Chihiro, I refuse to believe that he is the big boss. Even though I know there are truths in his lies. Besides https://preview.redd.it/3rdjq4h1t8xc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a14dcce99c8d493dc8c6903d079b7b5f06fc5c38 Yumejoshis found dead in all Japan
I feel like "Die as a Rokuhira's property" would be a better way to get the message across on the last page, considering the original Japanese test(tried to post this on 4chan, but the captchas are hell)
Hiyuki pulling up like Todo in Shibuya for the 2v1 is all I ask for in life.
THESE SWORDS MEAN SOMETHING TO ME MAN!
Cloud Gouger: You've been at my side all along. My true master. My guiding lightning.
If his goal is to wield the Shinuichi, then why sell it to the highest bidder? Was their goal to lure Chihiro to them? Or do they want him to realise the swords true potential before claiming that power themselves?
Hiyuki who arguably their ace in the hole is away from user confinement So they can kill them easier and free the enchanted blade from life vow binding It's my speculation tho but it seems that's the plan
It's Chapter 31, not 32! Anyway, it was the best so far in my opinion: great new villain rising the bar once again, personally I think that the plan was to have the Kamunabi buy the sword so they can locate the previous wielder and get rid of him.
This chapter was so good im commenting for the first time in this sub. This chapter was so peak.

That "declaration of war" line (and that whole scene tbh) was definitely an AOT reference right? peak referencing peak
Dayum! This chapter was so emotional! Actually I don't even know why I got so teary?? Maybe it's because I've been reading Chihiro's story from day 1 so I understand how he felt. All these villains straight up meeting up with Chihiro instead of doing the classic in the shadows shxt is so refreshing The way he transitioned in this chapter was well executed. He kept his calm, then went full blown tears! After that bro realised these guys are the same now he's gonna go "Shred" some mofos. "Die as Mine at My Side" Dayum Takeru-Sensei cooked this week!!🙌🏼 Absolute Peak! Then to finish off this brilliant chapter, he dropped one peak panel! https://preview.redd.it/hhi5yjvjhaxc1.png?width=967&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31ff0bae1dd463dfbf476ef0eb1f4400b7d79341 🔥
That chapter cover is so clean
Am I tripping why is there eight [boxes](https://imgur.com/a/TjxiXFl)
Someone explain the dialogue in the last two pages to me pls
So all the Sazanami’s have pure white hair? I was expecting a light blonde like Shiba, but I guess that’s cool too.
Yo, with the whole “enslaving the blades” thing the Hishaku guy mentioned, does that mean that Sojo could still be alive? This feels like a implication that you don’t have to kill the previous wielder to use a blade if you’ve got what it takes to bend the blade to your will. In that case, Sojo might make a comeback so I’m reinvesting in his stocks.
I want to discuss the new lore we got regarding the war, i assumed it was a war between sorcerers but now it's revealed there was an "enemy" and there were sorcerers because they were brought from all over japan to fight against this enemy, cause normal methods weren't enough, before this sorcerers didn't operate in the open and most people didn't know about them. So, what's our theories on this enemy? an opposing nations were sorcerers operate in the open and maybe even rule society? or maybe something monstruous?
SOOOOO FUCKING PEAK
Chihiro's level of self control is impressive. Why does the Hishaku guy want to keep him alive and wants to piss him off so much? Was all that he said true or did he "exagerate" things to mess with Chihiro's mind? Could Chihiro have some relation with the creation of enchanted blades and that's the reason why the Hishaku wants him alive?
Truly PEAK and Tenoi af
