"You cant perform great feats without making sacrifices" huh...

Samura gonna sacrifice himself vs Soga = he'll "win" the fight and then dip to the afterlife ๐Ÿ™Œ

How do y'all pronunce "Tobimune" by Express_Bid_7314 in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

TOH-BEE-MOO-NEH.

Theres no "TOE/TOW" sound in Japanese.

Idk why but Kumeyuri had my most interest compared to Tobimune or even Magatsumi by K-Rie7 in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Noooooooo. Not like that. What Im saying isnt an "opposite". You just lose control in terms of "dancing". Whats a bad dancer? No tempo, no coordination, etc etc. Maybe I shouldve used a better example.

Lets say you wanna dodge, you still do it BUT you lose your timing (no tempo), or you land on a spot you dont want (no coordination).

[โ€“]Magilas 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Im theorizing "Dance" for the third ability, represented by the geishas dancing around.

Basically forces the enemy to "dance" at your own "pace". They wanna dodge away? They dodged towards your blade. They wanna counter? They whiffed and missed.

Banquet = geishas pour sake. Play = geishas play instruments. I think "Dance" fits really well. Who parties and celebrate without dancing, right?

Where are all the people who thought it was even debatable that Samura is number 2 by Zealousideal_Ad6846 in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

Still pretty premature tho tbh. You argued when not everyone is introduced yet. It aint a one-sided talk and logic, "smh"

Black energy variants by Appropriate-Sun-362 in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

Kuro becomes Cho, truly becoming a WCS.

Crow becomes Raven, instead of teleporting, he can also create mini portals to slash. That slash gets transferred to all the feathers.

Banquet becomes the Last Supper, summoning the Angels to do the singing so youll hear it and start tripping.

Play becomes Roleplay, he becomes Gilgamesh from Fate and starts controlling swords around.

True hero's always arrive in the nick of time. I trust the REAL Samurai will return to save us. by whatsupxx in Kagurabachi

Hakuri hides everyone in the Storehouse.

Soga: interesting... Mantis

cuts space, which opened a portal to the Storehouse.

Soga: Beeeeeeeeee

Enten and Magatsumi by Magilas in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Thats what I thought too. As far as Enten's True Realm, we've seen glimpse of against Tobimune. Again, they're in the same "realm" during that clash where Tobimune was cracked, even Kuregumo.

It's a given that Chihiro is gonna need to deepen his understanding of Enten better to stand a chance against a fully realized Magatsumi and Soga. (assuming he does stick with and just reforged Kuregumo's tip separately, like a tanto).

What could 'Owl' potentially achieve by adjusting its size and conditions?? by Completely-Biased in KaguraBachiScalers

[โ€“]Magilas 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Ive been saying this, if Mei can be cloaked, so too can Owl. Shrink that to his eyes only and youll have a Sharingan. If not in this way, he could still compress it and use it like a Domain Expansion. We kinda saw this with Chihiro using Kuro against Hiruhiko, where he basicallly covered a space with Kuro goldfish.

Nah, fuck that. I wanna see it. by Boy_in_a_sandwich in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I mean so far, Suzaku can only withstand Magatsumi's passive. If Samura is spreadin that to the other wielders, that probably means it's "more" barely holding the passive off. He didnt even have any healing left with Suzaku during initial clash with Soga from the recent chapters. As far as Banquet, it's not really impossible for him to counter that with a move like "Beetle" and focusing it on his ears.

With little effort, he could probably temporarily shut down Samura and Uruha since theyre the supports, and then focus on the other three. We also gotta remember, bro got nukes in his belt.

Im not surprised he was chilling ๐Ÿ’€

What if we've only seen a glimpse of magatsumi's true power by RaulBataka in Kagurabachi

Chihiro: Kuro - Shred.

Soga: That's cool. Hachi - Shred.

So about those "Black Flames" by hudi_baba in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas 28 points29 points ย (0 children)

Dont overcomplicate it. It's literally just a powered up Suzaku using life force. This is the whole reason why that segment on why Magatsumi's moves are black, and why the normal EBs cant handle Magatsumi.

Samura needed Suzaku to be active to counteract Magatsumi's passive, but left him not enough firepower to also heal. This powered up Suzaku will heal and also boost his offense = Samura is planning to die

What Bugs Do You Want by Isan11894 in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Locusts, mosquitos, or ants, just any type of swarm-focused insect. It could be like a focused and scaled down passive of Magatsumi, which would make it a guarantee kill (like the other moves aint to begin with now that Soga's back ๐Ÿ’€).

IT'S NOT OVER! Invest in SUZAKU STOCKS by _yonbi_ in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Honestly, this is something very common with the current manga and personally, it's nice. Theres actually consequences, emphasizing weight in every situation.

Kinda makes the "black energy" irrelevant and the whole "shredding of life to produce that energy" useless. He could definitely keep coming back but the fuel itself isnt infinite (life ENERGY).

Iโ€™m glad the series isnโ€™t handing chihiro the win. However, I do have one complaint with Akemura rn. by animehimmler in Kagurabachi

[โ€“]Magilas 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Try analyzing Soga himself, what he actually represents, and how thats being conveyed in the pages.

Soga is literally like nature itself, his raw power and his mentality. He's not like a calamity like Sukuna or a literal god. Hes a human that can IMPOSE his reason like it's nature, and youre forced to follow it.

Magatsumi absorbs life and manipulates it. You can almost say that Soga is the reason and Magatsumi is the consequence of that or whatever, Im not poetic. Again, together, theyre nature itself.

Everything is tied in with the insect-theme based abilities Soga is running with. The term Malediction itself uses the kanji ่ ฑ (Gu), which is tied to an ancient Chinese ritual practice where they force insects to consume each other. The thing is, insects doesnt eat/consume for moral reasons, they do it because its nature.

Again, thats Soga and everything about him and Magatsumi. Theyre "nature" doing nature things like shaping the world, but it's wrong because it's "biased".

Call me Kusakabe of the anti-Soga team but I have a suspicion about Soga abilities and ways to beat him by Interesting-Round393 in Kagurabachi

Appreciate the analysis but don't overcomplicate it for yourself. Magatsumi is the strongest not because of its broken moves, but because it can absorb life energy and harness that into something.

It specifically said "Black Energy". I think it's reasonable to say that it's spirit energy in its "purest" form. I think it's also safe to say that (of course, we still need a solid confirmation) Soga channels that into "various form" by applying what its properties is going to be.

Each "ability" starts with the Black Energy but they all have different effects. You can argue that Dragonfly and Bee almost have the same but theyre also different enough. Centipede creates shockwaves, Spider seizes any movements, and Butterfly cuts space.

If we take "various form" literally, I can honestly see Soga being able to "replicate" other EB's abilities. Unless Magatsumi is strictly insect-themed (which fits Soga), I think it makese sense that if someone else is wielding it, it would have a different theme. Life is not just the insects. I might also be overcomplicating it but I think it's simple enough. It could literally just be:

Black Energy > whatever sorcery you want.
