Kagurabachi Is The Future Face of Shonen Jump

Kagurabachi is shonen jump's rising manga, and as such I think it has the potential to become one of the most popular, well liked, and appreciated manga in Weekly Shonen Jump. In light of Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, and even One Piece ending in the foreseeable future, a new hero is becoming ever more important for the magazine.

Honestly kagurabaichi’s reputation going from a meme to being a new powerhouse with a surprisingly chill fanbase is so much fun.

[@Pengiun72]

I started reading Kagurabachi last week and I'm caught up to where the manga is currently and I can wholeheartedly recommend giving it a read. There are so many amazing qualities about the manga. The characters are great, lovable, and well written, especially Chihiro (despite his looks he's actually not a typical edgy, brooding MC). The artwork is absolutely fantastic, there's a reason why people say that Kagurabachi has cinematic paneling, it can truly look like something from a movie. I truly believe Hokazono is going to go down as one of the great mangakas of his time (and he's only 23 I think, which is crazy). The story is amazing and the current arc is actual peak. Definitely give it a read, I can't recommend it enough!

As someone who’s still salty about Martial Master Asumi getting canceled I’m glad 1 of the survivors of this new wave of manga is this one

[@BrokenRonin]

Martial Master Asumi was something that was never gonna be the most popular, but I really did hope that it was able to survive and exist under the radar at least.

[@Jcat901]

I also really liked martial master asumi and thought it would last longer than it did. Kill blue is still going strong though

[@CombatSportsNerd]

@@BrokenRonin it hurts but you’re right. M.M.A just isn’t as wildly popular concept and the series was probably a bit too grounded for a story that’s trying to make it in jump. Maybe we’ll get a SJ mixed martial arts series that makes it work in the future.

I picked this up before the memes. It caught my eye and I saw the potential and the direction it had within the first 2 chapters. My confirmation bias about this manga is through the roof. It even inspired me to make a KZbin channel about anime. Truly is the kagura to my bachi.

[@eser8167]

The memes started before the first chapter even released haha. I definitely picked it up because of them, and it just slowly became less and less ironic as it went on. By the time the Sojo vs Chihiro rematch happened, I was the most hyped reading a manga in years, and it was in like chapter 17. Can't wait for the manga to sell one bachillion copies.

Bachi gang rise up! This series has (to me at least) has been a day one banger. If you want to make the analogy that most manga can been seen as a tv show, kagurabachi is like a k drama/ movie.

[@barrydalton4743]

I’ve begun to read this series around the time the memes start coming around, and man I came in with low expectations and will say these manga is actually really entertaining. Some of the facial expressions at the start look weird at first but the art gets better as the it progresses and even early there’s still plenty of great panels, and even the MC is more than just a “edgy swordsman with a tragic backstory.” It’s a manga that really feels like it’s made with passion and care, and it’s giving me that feeling I had back when I was reading manga like Bleach when it was running. Right now it’s still in that “Honeymoon” phase where so far it’s so good, but the potential is there and if they keep this energy I can see it becoming a modern classic.

[@pantyosashu8137]

Morbius crashed and burned so Kagurabachi could actually be something worth a damn.

[@Leif776]

Soooo what your saying is... Enough time has passed?

[@ProjetoDeserto]

Bro, I don't know if you read it But the battle panels are simply crazy, they are fancy in a way that you can actually see how badass and stylish the protagonist and the art style is. I suggest giving it a chance, as someone who read and watch a lot of this culture in general, I'm bout to say Kagurabachi will be something highly hyped, in a jujutsu kaisen level past the years.

Other mangaka's styles do not translate well into eachother's art. The only time I've seen a mangaka make another's characters work in their style was Horikoshi drawing Goku. Who'd have thought that Goku wouldn't translate well to the One Piece art style though

[@dominicmallano5633]

According to jajanken the last 4 rankings of Kagurabachi in Japan are 17/20, 17/20, 16/20, and 17/20. One piece rarely ranks below 3 for comparison. Kagurabachi probably won’t be cancelled, but it needs a killer anime to be the face of jump. I think undead unluck is really good but since it’s anime was basically ignored, it’ll never be the face of jump.

[@smittypwnz]

As of now, Future 3 pillars of Jump One Piece, Sakamoto Days, Kagurabachi I think Sakamoto and Kagurabachi will get a huge boost in sales once they get anime. Though it will be hard to hit JJK levels, maybe just maybe one can match MHA at least its sales currently. I do hope we get a true major hit though, something more then Kagurabachi. I want a new adventure manga in Jump so bad along the lines of HxH, Toriko or One Piece. Also a solid sports series like Haikyuu could also sell like hot cakes lol

[@smittypwnz]

also Ruri Dragon is not in Weekly Shonen Jump any longer so it can't be the face of the magazine, it moved to a different magazine.

[@Subpar1O1]

I wouldn't call One Piece a future pillar because it currently is. It's pretty much the only one of the big three still running and it's going to end. Probably not SOON but in the near future. My bets are on Dandadan, Sakamoto and Undead Unluck for future pillars

[@smittypwnz]

@@Subpar1O1 I say future as in once MHA and JJK leave it will still be here. One Piece will be in the mag for at least 3 years probably more with Oda's breaks. Dandadan isn't in Weekly Shonen Jump (though I do love it) and Undead Unluck is great but it to is ending in a year or two but it does not sell that great for Weekly Shonen Jump standards especially for a series that long and an anime adaption. Sakamoto is really really popular without an anime, with it yeah it's going to blow up.

[@Subpar1O1]

​@@smittypwnzI'm shocked Sakamoto hasn't gotten an anime yet though. It really should be one of the most obvious picks for a good studio like Mappa or Trigger

It also doesn’t hurt to have a legit cool protagonist. I haven’t read a Jump comic in forever where the main protagonist is cooler then most of the side characters. His only rival are the villains lol. Jump is going to have to find it’s next flagships because a bunch of series are on their last arch’s. Kagarabachi is liter the only new one with flag ship potential.

[@spittaandretti2020]

Day 1 Bachibro, definitely worth a read, it starts off okay at the start, but imo once they introduce Sojo, that’s when the story takes off, the side characters are great too, so respectfully I disagree. Char is memorable and adorable with a interesting backstory, Hiyuki is interesting and could become a rival or eventual friend for Chihiro, Shiba is great & feels like a mentor or uncle to Chihiro, Kyora is another great villain, it’s overall a solid story I recommend.

Great video, as always I'm also glad that you gave akane and ruri a shout out in terms of their success but especially akane cus to me atlesst a Manga be it battle or not doesn't need to blow up off rip like kb to survive it just needs solid support and that's akane from the jp side and not much from the west side but I'm not against kb surviving and becoming the new face of sj but I am against people who support only battle shonen so to all yall explore read akane read diffrent genres outside of battle shonen and you'll be shocked on how much you've been missing out. Lastly I think people mainly support battle shonen the most is cus you don't see epic scale battles in ya life so I think that's why people support them the most cus why read a slice of life or a sport series when you can see that irl but cool fights with many diffrent power systems that gets the most attention and I cant blame it but again explore find new stories and one day you'll understand why I'm saying this.

Unironically, the manga is amazing for only 32 chapters, and the amount of stuff it has done is insane. The art and composition is stellar, and the story and the characters are interesting and have a lot of potential for development. At this point, my biggest fear about it would probably be that it ends too quick and the story wont be able to fully develop with its pretty high pace. It introduced its first pretty big villain - a holder of one enchanted blade of 6 - in its 8th chapter and the blade was retrieved and he seemingly died permanently in 18th chapter. Then another enchanted blade is being auctioned off right now and in only 31st chapter, the seemingly final villain who is responsible for Chihiro's father dying and the blades being taken from him has appeared. Its very early, like if AllForOne showed up during the tournament arc of MHA, or Sukuna fully incarnated during the goodwill event arc of JJK. Hopefully I'm wrong and we will be getting a more relaxed "break" arc after Rakuzaichi. I trust in Hokazono
