You don't tell the player what they are, but just hype them to be this mysterious, important yet not plot-affecting easter egg that the players can look for, claim, or even destroy for fun.

Just like how in Fire Emblem there's a symbolic or physical form of the title that the player can interact with.

What if we did a re-read week every Sunday to resist the brainrot and maybe together find things we missed and/or things that can be read in a new way as we get more context.

Week 1: Chap 1-18 (Sojo Arc)
Week 2: Chap 19-44 (Rakuzaichi Arc)
Week 3: Chap 45-86 (Swordbearer Assassination Arc)
Week 4: Chap 87-112 (Kamunabi HQ Raid Arc)

As the Princess Soga with the prophecy sorcery, Chiaki knows what will happen in the future, but she's rather helpless to do anything about it. She knows that the Irishima delegation will be defeated and she even warned them about it, but they are all (except Shiba) got killed anyway.

She knows that there will be EB, and it will be sealed, and the sealing will unleash away all the other sorcery clans that should have been under the Soga clans' control, resulting in innocent victims like Yura and his family.

She might even know that Kunishige will be killed if he helps her escape the Mikaboshi.

She might even be able to see the face of teen Chihiro, 30-something years in the future, knowing that she will never be able to see him grow up.

Yet, she can't do anything about it.

Just like us, she's a mere reader in a story she doesn't get to write.

Under the bill, companies selling digital games released or resold after January 1, 2027, must provide at least 60 days' notice before terminating service. Furthermore, they must ensure that purchasers can continue to access the game—such as by providing an alternative version or a patch—and must offer refunds if doing so is not possible.

The bill applies to digitally sold games. However, it excludes games provided via subscription services, free-to-play games, and games that are inherently playable offline indefinitely. It also prohibits the continued sale or distribution of games that have become unusable due to service termination.

Akemura did a discrimination of the same type two times in span of like two chapters

First, this might sound like I'm defending Akemura, but hear me out.

We see from a flashback when Samura first met Akemura that Akemura started out as a hopecore optimist guy who thinks there will be peace after all the violence they both had to do. We also know that as the center of the Enchanted Blade Eternal Contract system, Akemura is the one Kunishige trusted the most. So Akemura must have started a good guy. The "coolest guy" even.

But then as we know it, someone changed Akemura, turning him into a mass murderer for our sake. The question will surely be answered as we read more into the history of the Seirei War, but I want to discuss it anyway: Akemura was changed due to his nature as a Soga.

Kagurabachi has not been subtle about its theme about children deciding what legacy meant for each of them. Chihiro with the Enchanted Blades, Hakuri with the Storehouse, Isou, and Rakuzaichi, and Iori with the hero status of Samura. We should not forgot that Akemura too, had one of the most violent legacy of all: be a Soga, the clan that genocided a whole ass people. And in that sense, so did Chiaki shared this legacy.

And I think this legacy finally come home to roost when Akemura met the people his ancestors drove down to the bottom of the sea. I can imagine that Akemura, while still an efficient cold-blooded warrior, didn’t mean to kill the children and noncombatant of the Mikaboshi at the beginning. But then upon learning that Akemura is a Soga, every Mikaboshi says that “he shares the same blood as the usurpers”, how every Soga “is indoctrinated with the same teachings”, and how “every member of that Soga clan who drowned Mikaboshi must be eradicated”.

Then imagine if even after the peace treaty this treatment continues, and not only toward Akemura, but also towards Chiaki. Akemura might be able to hold back his anger when it’s about himself, since as a warrior he did kill the Mikaboshi, but what if this treatment about how the Soga children should suffer the responsibility for the sins and legacy their ancestors did results in violent against Chiaki, and even resulting in her death?

Soga might accept that yes, the children SHOULD share the responsibility for the violent legacy their ancestors share, and that’s why he massacred all 200.000 Mikaboshi survivors, including, and especially the children.

So in the end, Akemura's radicalization is not simply a tale of cycle of violence and revenge, but also a tale of letting children start their own story, and not just painting and stereotyping them based on their father's legacy, maintaining the main theme of Kagurabachi since chapter 1.
