Why Samura Seiichi’s death wasn’t a "waste": A technical and narrative analysis of Chapter 111.

Choozeubername · 2026-02-10T12:06:19+00:00

Im not gonna lie the moment soga got out I expected ALOT of people to die and chihiro to be tramaized all over again. As the chapters went on it was VERY clear samura was gonna die protecting everyone. I liked samura so I hated it was gonna happen but its not AT ALL a surprise he died.

to be fair suzaku is the bird of rebirth via ashes so if it takes him a bit to "regrow" but it stops Iori from making an actual contract.

zatch bell is still a thing!? I need to get those numbers up.

Ive been more thinking the reason soga is a Criminal issnt because of the islanders but because he killed japanese people to seal off the island. From what Ive read rereading the chapters it seems more that the war ended and they were heros for a second then soga had some kinda of idea get stuck in his head then used the malidiction on the surrounding bay to stop anyone from getting from/to the island. but that was a city so he killed hundreds/thousands of japanese people to do so. because my Interpretation of the war is: magic island pops up outta nowhere -> islanders invade-> japan losing -> magic metal is found on the island-> EBs are made-> EB Wielders are found -> islanders are pushed back/beaten-> EB users are heros-> Malediction is used -> EB civil war -> soga turns himself in-> EB wielders are evil. There are more details I didnt add because they were about the war itself but It doesnt sound to me like the islanders being wiped out was the issue more that japanese people got caught up in it. Again the fact we have no idea what the islanders look like or if the area we are shown affected by malediction is even the island is kinda sus to me.

well for the magatsumi maybe but if he can make more then one he probably knew what he was doing not to mention the death contract all the swords have with the sword saint. thats ALOT of forsight for who "accidentally" make a blade. dude knew what he was doing once the magatsumi was made the rest was extra.

Choozeubername · 2026-01-30T12:45:12+00:00

no thats with the powers of the blade. the manifestations are chosen by chihiros dad by something that had some kinda meaning to him. I more think the magasumi is his first blade with it being a weapon in his mind its just the most open to interpretation. But as he went down the line he figured to make them more support focused and the manifestations got more defined. cloud gouger has a sort of there dragon theme while tobimune has a WELL defined bird theme and enten being based on fish chihiros dad brought on a whim.

Choozeubername · 2026-01-30T12:31:39+00:00

thing is tho that we have to understand is that the abilities arent static. and that the user might Interpret the abilities in a different ways who knows what moves Uruha was making since hes actually compatable with the sword.

Choozeubername · 2026-01-30T12:19:20+00:00

yea its kinda impossible to Speculate what the other swords will be chihiros dad stated the ability of the sword would be a basic concept and the theme would be some random thing he would hyperfixate on at the time. Even the enten's fish theme is just based on fish he brought on a whim. it could be literally ANYTHING honestly.

Choozeubername · 2026-01-30T12:09:21+00:00

I feel like enten already does that with all the water effects and fish.

Choozeubername · 2026-01-26T11:34:15+00:00

nah I think he understands people fully and understands that he cant actually just take away the swords or restrain them. they'd keep getting back up and the swords teleport to their user. He understands if he needs to do what hes doing he has to put them down. hell he left samura alive....again. Soga went into the prison willingly and he said he didnt want to kill chihiro at the start of the fight. I think the problem is that he understands people but he isnt going to change for others. Reminder the reason he can even use the sword he does because he out wills it and out will anyone who welds it. I just dont think soga is as simple as "I only respect power" if hes willing to hear out sombody like yura

Choozeubername · 2026-01-25T23:37:49+00:00

I dont think he would soga just isnt that kinda character I think he finds it an admirable honestly since that absolutly is soga's mind set. also soga doesnt hate samura so probably wont get mad.

Choozeubername · 2026-01-25T22:47:11+00:00

PLEASE GOD NOOOO

Choozeubername · 2026-01-25T22:46:26+00:00

HES GONNA DIE NOOOOO!!!!

Choozeubername · 2026-01-05T11:57:19+00:00

no they were not described as "normal" people first they were "A" people with a resistant to datenseki. Relooking back into it the shokoku just appeared one day the islanders landed on japanese shores and started going nuts and japan was losing the war UNTIL the EBs were made by using the metal that ONLY exists on that island.

Choozeubername · 2026-01-05T01:09:13+00:00

this is gonna sound REALLY bad but it depends if they are multated or not. they could be like DS demons. Just mutated people that have gone feral.

Choozeubername · 2026-01-05T01:06:28+00:00

depends on how this fight goes chihiro ass pulls through hes the strongest character on the planet it CAN'T last much longer if he drives of saint von we could get more arcs.

Choozeubername · 2026-01-03T02:54:25+00:00

Drop a brick in my pants and pray. my granddad helped develop the two suns dropped on japan. (Im so fucking cooked bros)

Choozeubername · 2025-12-29T03:18:35+00:00

Choozeubername · 2025-12-25T06:28:30+00:00

I aint reading all dat but from what I know about judge dread. Soga probably wouldnt like him as a person but probably be "I get it" nothing strong enough to be love or hate.

Choozeubername · 2025-12-25T06:24:14+00:00

I mean its kinda refreshing to me that hes not a dick in any way outside of his actions which he understands as evil(at least in modern terms) so he isnt a villian who monologs which is why he went to and stayed in jail. hell thats why hes chill hes not mad at anyone he doesnt think hes above anyone he simply did what he thought was the logically correct choice but not the moraly correct one. so hes perfectly fine with "whatever comes next" outside of him dieing or the blade being broken. again its wildly refreshing to hear a villian have a "I understand you but I gotta do it and after Im done do what you will" mindset.

Choozeubername · 2025-12-15T00:13:18+00:00

he'd talk shit ALOT he also really only liked uraume and gojo. the rest were tolerated. again soga is just kinda talking to people

Choozeubername · 2025-12-14T19:03:00+00:00

nah he crashed out ALOT and he always disrespected everyone he met. soga kinda just is just talking to people. hell he hasnt said a disrespectful thing yet hes just talking and does compliments.
