In this episode of the podcast, Roose dives into Chapter 105 of Kagurabachi, titled "Transformation." He begins by recalling the intense scene where a character is gasping, with flowers emerging from his body, signaling a significant moment involving the swordmaster. The swordmaster, a pivotal figure in the story, takes control in a dramatic fashion, showcasing his overwhelming power and presence as he moves from building to building. Roose highlights the mysterious nature of the Shinichi blade and the swordmaster’s unique ability to wield it, emphasizing that only the swordmaster himself can draw this enchanted weapon.
Roose reflects on the swordmaster’s transformation and the complex relationship between his body and the Shinichi’s power. He notes that the swordmaster’s nervous system is adapting to the blade’s influence, allowing him to wear it almost like a suit, which is both unsettling and impressive. The swordmaster’s return is marked by a cool, composed demeanor, contrasting with the chaos around him. Roose admires the swordmaster’s style and presence, pointing out how his appearance and actions command respect and awe from other characters, including those who once trusted him deeply. The episode also touches on the swordmaster’s mental fortitude and the reasons behind his survival and power.
Roose discusses how the swordmaster’s beliefs and innate gifts set him apart, making him a figure both feared and revered. The scholars in the story label him insane due to the scale of his malediction, but Roose suggests that this fear stems from both his immense power and his unyielding convictions. The swordmaster’s ability to hijack another’s body and remain lucid after 18 years in isolation further cements his status as a peerless warrior. As the chapter progresses, Roose notes the swordmaster’s confrontation with the city and the bleeding that follows his actions, hinting at a deeper conflict and the stakes involved.
He raises questions about the swordmaster’s brother and the sealing of the enchanted blades, which adds layers to the story’s intrigue. The appearance of a young character, possibly the swordmaster’s nephew, introduces new dynamics and potential plot developments. Roose expresses excitement and curiosity about how the swordmaster’s full power will manifest, especially considering his years of training and the untapped potential of his own body. Throughout the episode, Roose maintains an enthusiastic and engaged tone, sharing his thoughts and reactions candidly. He encourages listeners to follow the podcast as he plans to catch up on various manga series before diving into more video topics.
Roose’s passion for the series and his desire to keep the audience informed and entertained are evident, making this episode a compelling recap and analysis of a pivotal chapter in Kagurabachi.

Alright, what's going on guys, it's your boy Roose. Welcome back again to another episode on the podcast. We are reading Chapter 105 of Kagura Bachi. And if you're new here, please don't forget to follow the podcast and turn on notifications, okay? We're very close to 300 followers. Please, please, please click that follow button if you have not. Okay, let's get into this. Alright, so, let's see. Why is he gasping? I know flowers are coming out of his body. This is the last guy we had seen interacted with. I can't remember this guy's name anymore. I just had to read Bottle of Fire. He never drew it. Only the swordmaster himself can draw it. Of course. Oh yeah, the swordmaster said, let me take over.
That's what he said. Yet, all my senses are warning me. It's burning up. Even at this level of firepower. What the hell? The swordmaster. His appearance is prevalent. Building to building. I think he shot him off to the next building. Crash, crash, crash, crash. What? The feeling of my flames healing the Shinichi's enroachment on his body is suddenly gone. Even though his body is clearly connected to the Shinichi. In other words, excuse me, his connection to the Shinichi is no longer an abnormality. Chapter 105, title Transformation. So what was it doing? Was it healing him? Adapting his body so that the swordmaster can take over? This is the guy's personality. He's obviously drowning.
Whilst the swordmaster takes control. Twitch. The swordmaster. Has to be. Yep, he got up. The Shinichi's invasion is forcing his nervous system to accommodate its power culminating in a suit. No. No, that's what he's saying. He's saying a suit. I just ended up reading that. I didn't read that, sorry. Wielding the Shinichi enchanted blade in a suit? That's just wrong. Sheesh. It's unmistakable. His voice. His smell. Everything. There's no doubt in my mind. It's him. I thought a suit was kind of classy. I like the way he folded his clothes and put it down though. Okay, maybe he looks much more cooler like this then. Okay, he does. Man tapped the window and it broke apart.
The man Kunishige Rokihiro trusted above all others and entrusted with his greatest masterpiece. The swordmaster. Damn, he's back. And the sword came to him. Man's floating in air. Samura. Long time no see. Akemura. Your eyes. You healed them. You look cool. The swordmaster was in his right mind. We knew that. All of the swordbearers confronted him. He was in full possession of his senses. The war had simply changed his beliefs. Nonetheless, the scholars deemed him insane because there was no other way to explain the inordinate scale and force of the malediction. No ordinary human could have achieved such a feat.
So were they scared of him because of his beliefs or were they scared of him because of his power or were they scared of him because of both? I think that's what it was. It was both. But we knew only too well why we had been chosen to wield the shinichi. The mental fortitude derived from his innate gift and ironclad beliefs. The monumental power of the malediction. The fact that he survived 18 years in that space and remained perfectly lucid. And the way he hijacked Yura's body. All of these things are surprising but also reconcilable given what we know. Akemura Soga was peerless. Xing is grabbing it in case. We're close to where we started. It was already mostly evacuated and Shiba cleared out the rest.
You know, I was redesigned to die down there. When they imprisoned me after the malediction, I understood it's unfortunate but my existence and society's mainstream ethics are incompatible. But somebody had to venture where no one else dared. And the day I eradicated the enemy, I fulfilled my role and that was enough. Or so I thought. We needed a hero. He's facing the city. He's just flipped. That's his head looking outwards. Damn, what's going on? Everything is bleeding. As soon as he pulled out. Yuck. I have one question. I'm struggling to understand. Why did my brother seal away the enchanted blades? So that's the answer. Chihiro. Butterfly. Oh shhh. No, please don't tell me he dies. I know, please.
He's got a crow somewhere. Please don't let him die. That teleport, bro, please. Mr. Samura. How you've grown, Chihiro. What are they? Is that his brother's son? So that's his nephew. What the flip? This chapter was crazy. So much. Oh my gosh. He's finally out. I want to see if he's actually out fully. Because his body is somewhere else. But he's able to possess another person's body. But if this is what he's able to do. Imagine what he can do in his own body. That's been like literally. Like. Not harnessed. And just like worked on for the years of training. And the mentality that his body has. Oh man. This was Kagura Bachi. Okay. 105. Titled Transformation. I hope you guys enjoyed this. Okay.
Please don't forget to follow the podcast. It is very important that you do so. There'll be more videos. More anime stuff. More manga stuff. Especially. I'm trying to catch up to all my manga stuff. Before I get into like video topics. Because video topics take ages. So for the next month. I will be going through all the manga stuff. That I need to do. And catching up to them. Okay. If it's too far ahead. Maybe like. One Punch Man for example. And that's like 300. I'm only like chapter 90. I'll probably get to like 150. I'll make a note. Saying I'm going to reach like 200 or 150 chapters. And then carry on making podcast episode topic videos. Where I use the anime series to talk about. But yeah.
