Despite their divergent paths, Kagurabachi and One Piece share a common home in Shonen Jump. Both series, beloved by manga enthusiasts worldwide, have been nurtured by the team at Shueisha. Now, with the release of a new Kagurabachi chapter, a second connection between the two titles emerges—swordsmanship style.
In the latest chapter, Kagurabachi delves into Chihiro’s most significant battle yet. The swordsman goes on a quest to reclaim the legendary swords stolen from his father during his murder.
As Chihiro infiltrates an auction selling one of the blades, he surprises onlookers by revealing he has claimed a second missing blade for himself, adopting Zoro’s iconic two-sword style.
