Kagurabachi: Every Enchanted Blade, Ranked

In serialization since 2023, Kagurabachi is already one of Shonen Jumpflagship titles, and it's sure to get even bigger after the anime releases in April 2027. At this point, it's perhaps the only series with real potential to beat Solo Leveling.

Years before the beginning of the story, Chihiro's father, Kunishige Rokuhira, forged six Enchanted Blades with Datenseki, a rare ore that amplifies the power of Spirit Energy in a safe way for practitioners to channel the power of the blades. But the knives were now stolen by a group of criminals, and Kunishige died trying to protect them. On a quest to avenge her father, Chihiro travels across Japan with a seventh, unknown knife called the Enten. So far, only five of the seven leaves have been introduced in the story. So let's check out each blade and its powers.

Kumeyuri

Currently wielded by Hiruhiko, this blade may still move up in the rankings as we don't fully understand its powers yet. It has the ability to create illusions and manipulate objects but doesn't seem quite as strong compared to the others. But there is still an unknown ability that can prove to be incredibly useful, powerful and convenient.

Tobimune

Tobimune is weaker than Kuregumo or Enten, but it has pretty handy unique abilities, like advanced mobility (similar to teleportation), stealth, and tracking practically anyone. After Samura's death, this blade remains without a contract. Despite being quite useful, this blade is also difficult to master, perhaps the hardest of them all, especially since it is forged for a more supporting role. Still, it shows so much potential that some believe this should be the strongest blade.

Kuregumo (Cloud Gouger)

Kuregumo was previously used by Ibuki Mikasa, and years later it was stolen by Genichi Sojo. Since Sojo's death, it has remained without a bearer (although Chihiro used it for a while). However, for a time, Sojo was unable to access the True Realm (albeit not fully). Even so, we could see how powerful the blade could become. It is incredibly versatile but lacks defensive abilities; still, in the hands of an experienced user, it has immense potential and is one of the most destructive blades among the seven.

Either

Either the blade used by Chihiro is the only one forged after the war (and maybe Chihiro's help had some effect on it). It is often considered the strongest blade due to its versatility, with both offensive and defensive moves, although Chihiro may not yet be skilled enough to make the most of it. Of course, fans keep reading to check out his growth. So far it seems pretty basic to some fans, but it shows huge potential (kunishige spent his last years protecting it after all).

Magatsumi

Often referred to as “Shin'uchi”, Magatsumi is openly the strongest among the Seven Blades, with overpowered abilities that allow the user to freeze targets, fire blasts, and perform powerful slashes. Additionally, Kodoku (Malediction) is a powerful move that aims to annihilate anyone through mass murder at the cost of the user's vitality. Currently, Yura can remotely access some of its power, but only a few abilities (no one could beat him if he got access to everything). It is the most destructive of them all, but it lacks defensive abilities.

Eighteen years ago, during the Seitei War, Kunishige Rokuhira was the most famous man in Japan. As a master swordsman, he forged six enchanted blades, each imbued with a special power that ensured the nation's victory. After the war, Kunishige retreated to the mountains with his son, Chihiro, who diligently began to learn the craft. Approaching his 15th birthday, the sensitive Chihiro decided to one day succeed his father. But his plans were derailed when he saw a group of powerful wizards kill his father and steal the holy knives. Three years after the incident, Chihiro lives on with hatred in her heart and an intense desire for revenge. Using the Enten, the seventh and final enchanted blade Kunishige created in secret, Chihiro cuts down miscreants associated with Hishaku – the organization he believes is responsible for his father's death. Chihiro has yet to unlock Enten's full potential or perfect his swordsmanship, but he will stop at nothing to retrieve the stolen katanas, avenge his father, and honor the legacy he left behind.
