Kagurabachi Chapter 124: Shiba Steals the Show as the Traitor Is Revealed
“Yep, knew this guy was a traitor. I called it.”

やっぱこいつ裏切り者やったか 俺はわかってた

— @user-lawrencium

On Kagurabachi Chapter 124, Japanese readers agreed Shiba completely runs away with the flashback arc and the betrayal finally drops. The thread praised how the pace jumps the moment Shiba appears, swooned over his "I'll take responsibility" line, joked about him casually one-handing a 40kg crate, and weighed up Hiroto, Hayami, and the Sushi Chef. By the end someone is already smug that they saw the traitor coming.

Japanese fan reactions (excerpted from 46)

  • Honestly, looking at Kagurabachi as a whole, the pace suddenly picks up the second Shiba shows up. The man is just efficient.

    やっぱ全体的に見てカグラバチって柴さん出てくると急にテンポ上がるからホンマ有能

  • He can skip travel and whole scene cuts, so the story literally moves faster just because Shiba is there.

    移動とか場面のカットのスキップができるから まじで柴さんが出るだけで物語が早くなる

  • "I'll take the responsibility" is way too cool. I'm in love, what is this.

    責任はもらう、はカッコ良すぎるだろ。惚れるわこんなん。

  • The way he says it is so slick. Everything about it is just too good.

    言い方オシャレやし、もう全部が良すぎる

  • Personally I cracked up at Shiba casually one-handing a thing that, container included, probably weighs around 40kg. By real-world standards that's absurd strength.

    個人的には柴さんが恐らく容器合わせて40kgくらいありそうな物体を当然のように片手で軽く持ってるの笑ってしまった 現実基準で考えたらとてつもない力だ

  • Maybe he's using sorcery to make it lighter? Could also just be raw monster strength though lol

    妖術使って軽くしてるんじゃね？ただの怪力の可能性も十分あるけど笑

  • Forgot it was just a bomb lol. So he's basically a Machamp then.

    @unmo_62ただの爆弾だったの忘れてた笑　じゃあただのカイリキーだね

  • The cyclops Sushi Chef is a reasonable dude too.

    サイクロプス寿司屋も話がわかるやつだな

  • I love the Sushi Chef's "this is garbage."

    寿司屋の「クソだ」が好き

  • Kagurabachi has a lot of great character contrasts: people who get it and put conviction over reality, versus people who get it but put reality over conviction.

    カグラバチは話が分かって現実よりも信念を優先する奴と話は分かっても信念より現実を優先するってキャラの対比が多くて良い

  • I don't think present-day Kannabi is corrupt, it feels more like a difference in approach to achieving peace.

    現代の神奈備は腐っているのではなく、平和実現のための方向性の違いな気がする

  • Flashback-arc Kannabi brass: "Nothing we can do against Shiba, and honestly we get where he's coming from, let's just leave him be."

  • That sideburns guy from Kannabi called Kunishige arrogant in the present, but a guy who could only stall by relying on sacrifices has no business badmouthing the man who forged the weapons of the heroes who saved the nation.

    なんか神奈備のモミアゲが現代で国重のこと傲慢とか言ってたけど、炎骨頼りの生贄時間稼ぎしか出来なかったクセに救国の英雄達の武器を拵えた国重の事を悪く言えんだろ本来

    — @終末のワサビ5 likes

  • Hayami, Hiroto, the flashback arc has so many good characters. Giyu, you on the other hand are a no.

    速水やヒロトと過去編良いキャラ多いな 義勇貴様はダメだ

    — @クヤシックス9 likes

  • Readers are on Kunishige's side so we just don't like it, but it's the safe play, can't really blame him. That said, still don't like him.

    読者は国重寄りだから快く思えないだけで、安牌やから責められん それはそれとして好きじゃない

    — @山田太郎-tv5jee9 likes

  • I really wanted to see more of Hiroto in action.

    ヒロトの活躍もっと見たかったな

    — @あかしし5 likes

  • Can't wait for the day someone beats the upper brass to a pulp.

    いつ上層部ボコボコにしてくれるのか楽しみだ

    — @ひざ7070 likes

  • Random thought, but Chihiro might not be Kunishige's kid, he could be Mikaboshi's.

    ふと思ったんだけどちひろって国重の子供じゃなくみかぼしの子供の可能性ありそう

    — @クヤシックス5 likes

  • Then the whole "eyes inherited from his father" thing falls apart, and Urushiba sensing Rokuhira in Chihiro's eyes would look dumb.

    それじゃ父譲りの目の意味がなくなっちゃうじゃん ちひろの目を見て六平さんを感じた漆羽がバカみたいになるし

  • Sparing him just because he's a useful messenger was the enemy's biggest blunder. With an ability like his you have to take him out first no matter what. They figured he couldn't do anything, then he starts building some insane stuff, lol.

    メッセンジャーとして有能だからって、〇さなかったのが敵の最大の失敗だな。こんな能力持ち、何をおいても始末しないと手が付けられないだろう。 どうせ何も出来ないとタカをくくってたら、とんでもねぇ代物が作られ始めるの草生える。

  • The last page of the chapter, with Hasumi taking five panels just to look shocked, slowly got funnier and funnier.
