Reader Version
In this episode, Roos dives into chapter 96 of the manga Kagurabachi, titled "Three Vs One." He notes that the story has progressed to around chapter 112, but the podcast is catching up gradually. The chapter centers on a tense confrontation involving Chihiro and his allies, who are trying to prevent an enemy from killing the sword master. The stakes are high because if the sword master dies, the eternal contracts will also kill the other sword bearers, making it imperative to stop the attacker at all costs.
The episode highlights the appearance of powerful characters such as Yura, the leader of the Heshaku, and the revelation that the enemy is using Shinichi’s powers, which are linked to a centipede like ability. This power is formidable, capable of overwhelming sorcerers who rely on conventional weapons. Roos explains how the centipede’s attack has a specific weakness, a gap behind the wielder, allowing some characters to use themselves as bait to protect others. The battle is intense, with the defenders cut off from reinforcements due to a force field that repels even powerful enchanted blades.
Roos also discusses the unique sorcery involving enchanted coins, which regulate electrical currents in the body to relieve pain or enhance physical abilities. This technique, adapted from a family lineage, has been weaponized for combat by one of the characters. Despite the apparent physical damage the user suffers, his true strength lies in his fists, making him a dangerous opponent even with injuries. The fight showcases a blend of physical prowess and sorcery, adding depth to the combat scenes. Throughout the episode, Roos maintains an enthusiastic and engaged tone, expressing his enjoyment of the series and eagerness to continue reading.
He speculates on the ongoing battle’s duration and looks forward to catching up with the latest chapters soon. Roos also encourages listeners to follow the podcast and support its growth, aiming for monetization through increased watch time. Overall, this episode provides a detailed and passionate summary of Kagurabachi chapter 96, emphasizing the strategic elements of the fight and the unique powers at play. Roos’s commentary balances factual recounting of the plot with his personal excitement and anticipation for future developments in the manga.

Very good. This is your boy Roos. Welcome back again to another episode in the podcast. We are reading chapter 96 of Kagurabachi. Okay, if you're new here, don't forget to follow the podcast and turn on notifications so that you're updated on everything anime. Urgency is the title. I haven't been doing Kagurabachi in a while. I think there's about 112 is the latest chapter so far. But we aren't that far. Someone's Shiba Inu Kiichi headquarters. But we can get by with such minimal security for the other sword bearers. If they kill the sword master, the eternal contracts will kill the other sword bearers too. We need to stop them no matter what. This presence. Mr. Sumura. Chihiro, you did it.
The two of them are nearby and they're together. They'll be here soon. He's going to use the Shinichi's powers. He intends to kill the sword master. In any case, we can't let him move freely. What the hell? I think they meant let him move freely. But why? They'll arrive soon. Until then, we hold him off here. So that was Shinichi's power. This is where Chihiro's centipede came from. In that case. Did they disappear? Mr. Azami. Yeah, I got it. Natsuki. I know. I'm not dumb. Coin. You know that's how the coin goes. The noise of it. Sorcery. A coin. Are we gambling? I like it. That's Yura. The Heshaku's leader. He was also at the Rakuzachi. I'm not surprised, but it's nothing that risky.
The man behind Rokihiro's death. Damn. Three of them. Is this guy cooked? And he's injured. Tobimune and Enten. I sense the presence of both enchanted blades above. But why aren't they coming to us right away? With the Tobimune's powers, they should be able to teleport right to us. Mr. Ichiki. Did you contact them? I can't get through. What? Is it the force field? He did something to it. Amidst the confusion, my comrades did good work. Now, we are cut off from the outside. This guy was a betrayer before. In the last chapter, he betrayed them. Did they modify it to prevent the Enten and Tobimune from entering? Two enchanted blades. Is that possible? No.
The original settings repel all sorcerers who aren't Kaminabi. To apply that to the Enten and the Tobimune, they'd have to focus its entire capacity against two blades. Even if it worked, it wouldn't take long for Sumura and company to break through. A few minutes at most. Everything hinges on a few minutes. Centipede. The sorcerers here are pretty much defenseless. You know this. With the Shinichi's powers, a few minutes is plenty of time. Oh, wow. Centipede sent two of them back. Don't tell me he sent the third one back too. To wreak total obliteration. You witnessed it at the Rakuzachi. Sorcerers bearing conventional weapons have no hope of even buying time. Oh, this is the only guy that is on his feet.
He's the one that's very strong with his fists. His physicality is that top tier. He resisted Centipede? No. Centipede attacks all around. But there's a gap where its force is weaker. Behind the wielder. Just now, only the pillar behind him survived. And, like cloud gouges me, there's a recovery period for Centipede. Iruhuha and Natsuki understood instantly. They used themselves as bait to lure Centipede and allow me to take shelter behind Yura. Chihiro and Sumura still haven't arrived. Something must be keeping them. It doesn't matter. My job is the same. Buying time. He's faster somehow. Could it be a physical augmentation spell like Uruha's? But... Dragonfly. Splat. Did his fingers get crushed? Or split?
What the hell? Splat. Don't bother. Without the Enchanted Blades, you don't stand a chance. What happened? Are these magically enchanted coins? I think I understood this spell. Basically, whatever the coins represent is maybe the boosting power of ability to cast spell that he's capable of doing for himself. The different ionization characteristics of two different metals produce a faint electrical current. Simply tape them to the affected area for amazing results. It regulates the electrical currents within the body to relieve muscle tension and pain. The technique was popularized by a certain local doctor.
Rumor has it he was able to utilize the intrinsic electrical current in coins to cure even serious illnesses. The true secret was sorcery passed down through the Azami lineage over generations. Until a certain hot blooded only son of the family adapted the sorcery for combat. How dare you bastardize our heritage, you stupid brat. Get out. On the one hand, the power could be used to accelerate the user's blood circulation, enhancing physical performance. On the other, it could intensely stimulate the muscle fibers of an opponent. Damn. So he was bluffing when he pretended that he was unarmed. Sorcery is his true strength. But also, look at his arm. Is that all he can do?
Like, it's taken chunks of muscle from his arm. He can't heal from this, can he? Don't worry. Actually, my real strength is my fists. Right in the chest. I think it might be the left side, maybe where the heart is. Splat. With a broken arm. You good with this? Chilling out here with us for so long? This guy's going crazy. Okay, this guy, he's tapped. And I really like that. We're just going to move on to 97. I want to see if I can get to 100. Because this fight is seeming like it's going to be going on for a minute or two. Very, very interesting. And hey, I like Kagurabachi. We're moving forward. We'll catch up to 112 most likely next week, latest. Unless I just go on a crazy, crazy binge of manga.
And yeah, we're there. One thing I would really love, though, is if we could stream on the Spotify. But don't worry about it. Maybe it'll come sooner or later. For now, make sure to hit the follow button, okay? And stick with the goal of helping us reach 2,000 watch time hours per month so that we can get monetized. That's the goal. So let's get into this. I'm out. Peace.
