Kagurabachi Launches New Arc for Manga's First Anniversary

As a seasoned gamer and manga enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Kagurabachi has managed to carve out a unique niche for itself among the plethora of manga series out there. Having followed its progression from its humble beginnings in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by how it has captivated the hearts and minds of fans across the globe.


Currently, Kagurabachi is reveling in the one-year anniversary of its manga’s publication and has introduced a fresh new storyline to mark the special occasion. The captivating series, Kagurabachi, was initially unveiled in the esteemed pages of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine back in September 2023. Despite its relatively recent debut, it seems as if Kagurabachi has been a fan favorite for much longer judging by the enthusiastic response from readers. In fact, even before the premiere of its inaugural chapter, Kagurabachi had already trended numerous times on various platforms. As we move forward, there’s no indication that its popularity is dwindling in any way.

Kagurabachi launched festivities for its manga’s first anniversary, coinciding perfectly as the latest chapter initiated a significant new storyline, known as the Sword Bearer Assassination Arc. This arc represents the third major narrative in the series (excluding the initial and Vs. Sojo arcs), where Chihiro will join forces with the Kamunabi to safeguard the original Enchanted Blade bearers in forthcoming installments.

Kagurabachi: What Is the Sword Bearer Assassination Arc?

In Chapter 47 of Kagurabachi, titled “The Sword Bearer Assassination Arc,” finds Chihiro Rokuhira facing a trial by the Kamunabi, with questions about his intentions regarding the Enchanted Blades at the forefront. Despite the ongoing interrogation, it’s evident that Chihiro remains resolute and is eager to confront them when the chance arises. Meanwhile, the Hishaku are becoming more active, aligning their goals with those of our protagonist for the time being.

The story begins with an assault on Yoji Uruha, a contractor for the Enchanted Blade Kumeyuri, whom he holds dear due to his affection for Chihiro’s father. He was given the enchanted blade 18 years ago but felt disheartened upon learning about Chihiro’s father’s demise and the theft of the Enchanted Blades. Shortly after this revelation, the Hishaku ambush his safe haven, prompting Chihiro and Hakuri to spring into action to safeguard him.

With the storyline intensifying, it’s become apparent that Chihiro and Kamunabi will clash against Hishaku’s enigmatic new sorcery weapons. They must safeguard the Sword Bearers, whose own magic abilities are suppressed while bound to an Enchanted Blade.
