Kagurabachi Is The Future Face of Shonen Jump 

"Are you kagurabachi because you're the peakest, or are you the peakest bacause you're kagurabachi ?"

“Hokazono has the sauce” is the best explanation I could give for why this manga is excelling.

Been a day one kagurabachi fan, only up from here

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

DAY 1 KAGURAPEAKI INVESTER

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!

Once again, it's CRAZY that this manga has the potential to be great after being memed to heck

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

A little over a month later, and the recommendation for Volume 3 comes from Kishimoto. Debate quality all you want, this series has the motion to put itself on the map with a member of the big 3 putting the spotlight on it so early on.

As a day one Bachibro I hope that many future manga can follow our example and secure their spots into wsj with us.

I love this series. I can’t wait to see more of it in the future. Hokazono is really talented especially considering he just started drawing manga in pandemic

I like how many people agree that an anime for the series ain't a question of if it will happen but when it will

Kagura bachi deserved all the hype ngl

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 RU-vid channel about anime. Truly is the kagura to my bachi.

After reading the first 30 chapters it's clear that the hate for this series is so forced. Like sure you can think it's mid there but it's not bad and it's usually jjk fans hating.

kagurabachi and sakamoto days need so much more content to be made on them so people can see two mangakas with real cinema for paneling

Broken Ronin isn't just on the Kagurabachi hype train. He's the goddamn conductor.

The paneling on the latest chap had me geeking.

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.

Also the editing is GAS in this video

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.

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

Rakuzaichi arc is goated, js

This truly is our Kagurabachi

MY GOAT CHIHIRO ROKUHIRA!!!

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.

That Goku face at the start is hideous wtf 😭😭

Ive never read anything other than the big, iconic shonen manga. Then I pickedup first chapter of kagurabachi on manga+ app thinking hey a dude with a sword, thats cool. And then I was like sheesh, are all manga of this quality? Have I dropped the ball by restricting myself to one piece, berserk, jjk, hxh, bleach, etc?

I agree. The memes can only get eyes on your manga, it is up to the quality of the product itself to keep the readers around.

Wait seriously? This meme manga is actually selling like crazy?

As long as Disney Plus doesn't get the anime. The Disney Death sentence is real

Day one fan here, chapter one was legit good

Bro, the panel of shiba teleporting soya into the sky was one of the best action sequences I’ve seen in a while. Also, this paneling and writing style gives me mass effect, kotor vibes with the whole cinematic thing he’s got going on!

To be honest, while it started as a meme, author cooked. Story isn't game changing, but the fights are paced and choreographed expertly.

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.

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.

IM A DAY ONE KAGURABACHI FAN AND BEEN GLAZING AND READING SINCE BEFORE CHAPTER ONE

Might sound crazy but I’d love Warner Bros animate Kagurabachi. Strong Batman influence

12:33 Hiyuki's dorky spaghetti eating face is the best thing since sliced bread

I LOVE KAGURABACCHHHHHHIIIIIII IM GOING TO CRYYYYYYYYYYYYY WE NEED TO RAISE AWARENESS

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

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

I genuinely love this manga. I reread certain chapters every chance I get. My favorites so far are Chihiro and Hiyuki. Looking forward to seeing Hiyuki cook in the next chapter.

Phantom Seer and Red Hood were robbed

This manga along with Sakamoto Days, Gachiakuta, Kaiju no.8, and Dandadan, are just so good it scratches that itch in my brain.

Enough time has passed…

Coming back after recent talks and WE'VE OFFICIALLY WON🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 SHUEISHA SAID THAT THEY WANT US TO CARRY THE NEXT GENERATION

The future, for sure! Kagurabachi is that good and Hokazono shows that every week.

Glad I kept reading it and didn't drop it after 2 chapters like most people 😭🙏

Crazy that 4 of the series in the thumbnail are in their final arcs

14:16 Dont do my girl Hiyuki like that

I have supported Kagurabachi since day 1, and I will support it till the end.

Finally read Kagurabachi a week ago on a whim, just cuz I was curious about the source of the memes. Came away like, "wtf, why is this actually hella good?"

Like Sojou said " that's why Kagurabachi is Meaningful" ⚡🤺

I like anime but I’ve never read a manga, till kagurabachi, it’s actually pretty good, if I ever get into more manga it will be the reason why

Hakuri masterclass was amazing

i wasnt even aware of the memes i just saw a dude w blood on his katana and now im heavily invested in this peak right here

People are SLEEPING on Wild Strawberry and Astro Baby

i can already tell kagurabachi is going to be the jujutsu kaisen of the 2020s

I know you’ve been branching out to other series but another full potential jjk vid would hit rn, hell you can do a full potential vid for other series

Been a fan since day one and stayed committed to the series even after the memes died off

0:15 goku looks so weird in this frame bro

Goku with Luffys face is terrifying.

The title is crazy, but im sure when it come outs, it will be hype anime.

it really does look like enough time has passed

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.

Proud to say I’ve been a day 1 fan

I've Read it and still, I'm not see why people like it, maybe it's not for me. I have been mostly staying with Dandadan, Sakamoto days , One piece and JJK.

I really want to start kagura bachi

I LOVE THIS MANGA SO MUCH!!! ooh i hope that we get an anime.

I rmb catching the manga on one of the apps and i just got hooked on day one. The graphic design was brilliant and told a thousand words with his stance alone. That pain, that anger, the things he had faced was all visible in that picture.

I read the first chapter and thought it had amazing potential but then i was bummed it became the new morbius

I saw this initially and thought it looked too generic, but I'll give it try now.

Imagine in a few year talking about kagurabachi as a masterpiece of shonen manga all of this possible because of memes Attention, i am not saying it's will, we don't know the future, but just IMAGINE

I really hope Kagurabachi pops off so you can get the recognition you deserve for sticking with it after most abandoned it when the memes died down

my problem is that it getting memed on took the spotlight off of other potentially brilliant mangas such as mamayuyu that recently got cancelled. There was so much potential in it, but got overshadowed by kagurabachi with their similarly timed debuts.

I honestly think the memes will return, but with completely different meanings

AMAZING VIDEO

Rakuzaichi arc has been complete peak so far, it keeps getting better every single chapter, the pacing is also very well done, the art keeps improving and the story telling is very engaging. Hokazono’s paneling has me genuinely tweaking from how good it is.

being a day one september 2023 fan. the word “meme” makes me want to pull out my hair

kb might be the next jjk of shonen jump

Future: Dandandan, clear #1 manga right now. It's amazing. Kagurabachi is also good.

I don't understand the hate for this manga. It has great fights, lore and mc isn't annoying. Sure it's not Sakamoto days but it earn it's place as a contender.

So happy somebody is giving this series the respect it deserves.

not really a fan of how the MC is so kinda overpowered ish he is but thinking about this series as just John Wick really helps me see how much differeny this series is

I remember when u said this on the honored ones and now we have a full video. TOUGH

The way he draws fights remind me of kubo

the man, the myth, the legend, hokazono

and Sakamoto Days. Before Kagurabachi becomes "the next big thing", I think Sakamoto is the next in line to jump into the limelight. With those two series in the magazine, we've got some solid battle manga to inherit the seats of the series that are on their way out.

the first thing that came to mind is, why is chainsaw man not in the thumbnail

4:48 huh??... It has 200,000 copies in circulation? And thats unprecedented? This just sounds like it has to be a lie.

Europe particularly France is the biggest market and voice outside of Japan not America

Day 1 bachi bros sound off🗣️

Now I wonder what you think of Nue's Exorcist

Kagurabachi will probably end before one piece.

No Sakamoto?

Man something you need to understand is that those sales come from Japan and that manga are cancelled not because of quality or lack of it but because it didn't sell or didn't have good reception on the tocs

Been a bachibro since day 2 (i got busy)

Love how this series started as a meme but actually managed to gather a loyal audience by delivering

Marvel and DC went dark in the mid 80s. After The Dark Knight Returns and The Watchman books came out. The tone of both companies went dark for a decade. Spawn is the best example of what both companies were.
