The Coolest Villain You Haven't Heard Of

The creation of Genichi Sojo still stands as one of the best characters in Kagurabachi thus far, and in this video I wanted to talk about how Takeru Hokazono pulled this impressive feat off.

Kagurabachi Lives Up To The Hype:

[noahjackson]

BR is currently putting his life savings into Kagurabachi stocks

[Termina_production-.]

Kagurabachi is a manga that most people started reading as a meme, and then actually started to see it had a good story

[aboringotakuwhoisntnamedkyle]

Sojo was such a good villain so early that i thought kagurabachi was getting cancelled

[dragneel]

Sojo kinda reminds me of Zabuza in a way. Both were incredible antagonists for the brief time they were present, they were also incredible introductory villains who help to reinforce the combat and abilities in their series, and both changed the perspectives and ideologies of their protagonists.

Finally bruh been tryna tell mfs the hype was warranted

[Sougin_]

I was so moved by Sojo man, and seeing Takeru isn’t done with showing his impact on Chihiro’s character gives me great faith in the series. W analysis

[chrisg]

Kagurabachi is just so underrated. The panels we get are incredible to look at.

With the reveal that happened today… SOJO’S LEGACY LIVES ON !

[Sappysappster]

When I often talk to my friends about writing stuff I always mention how particular I am about characterization when it comes to making characters; as I believe that's more important than anything else you can do as a writer

Be it a hero, villain, or that one guy that sells cabbages good characterization can make someone with even a few MINUTES worth of screentime be so interesting and compelling

Sojo is just proof of my philosophy tbh Hokazono really impressed me

[jeremiahbennett]

Kagurabachi is going to be the next big shounen, all it needs is for the current arc to pan out in an interesting way, and it's reputation is basically secured, and the most recent chapter was great too.

[mrman]

No fan-service, a likeable cast, incredible action, fast paced with no filler so far, and a simple but moving story.

Battle Shonen isn’t my favorite genre in manga, just for my own tastes. But if this series keeps up its momentum I can see this series becoming a story still talked about a decade from now in the shonen manga community.

Everything Sojo said about Kunishige and the enchanted blades being true, and Chihiro's denial of his perspective makes me believe Kunishige, by the time we learn more about the war will be established as a morally grey character. He knows about the repercussions of the enchanted blades' existence but he had to choose what were the lesser of 2 evils(making super powerful blades of destruction that may escape his grasp and hurt innocent people or not). Not about Sojo but just a thought

[thunder_]

It's Sojover he's confirmed dead.

[YPixel]

I really love Sojo, as he was such a charismatic, lovable and fun character. He was also a bad guy with basically no redeeming qualities, and I appriciate Takeru's writing even more for not sending him out with a sob story. Im very sure we will later on see what his trauma was supposed to represent, and while I have many theories for it, I have no idea if Im corret. I really love how in depth you go into Sojo and his part of the story, and Im happy you made the video!

[justincarter]

This manga hit a very rare medium where im fully satisfied with shojo’s end but i also would very much be down for watching these two run it a couple more times

[gentlepeeps]

sojo is just so popular every time i look at the kagurabachi reddit after a chapter there is still shojo love thinking he lives

[LilShiro]

Sojo is like zabuza to me he’s literally the perfect 1st big bad for series i know will be peak i cant wait for the auction to start😩.

[Tairakrakan]

Kagurabachi is actualy becoming the masterpiece😂

[cyborgcuttlefish]

there’s something so interesting about how the main philosophical conflict between the antagonist and protagonist is “death of the author”. Kunishige’s swords are an art open to interpretation and as such, there’s no true “meaning” as to the purpose of the swords. there’s obviously an objective meaning and purpose but at the end of the day, everyone has their own ideas. i feel like that’s such an intriguing conflict to establish

[bacongod]

its not even crazy to say sojo is the best first villain i seen in Animanga in a long time
