Kagurabachi - Ch. 70 - Iai White Purity Style

[scapegoat079]

ok that elevator standoff is actually complete fire
it ending with MC taking the time to watch somebody else and copy it is pretty silly though
As if he could spare the in a straight forward strength match like that

i think it's a little corny too, and to just break it down to "observation skills" also seems to undersell it.
I feel like it might be a translation issue though.
Like to me it comes off as pure intuition. Intuition he's developed over 15-18 years just living near swords, understanding the philosophy guiding the utility of katana, and hanging around his dad's friends who left their own impressions. I figure vision is the conduit, but it's the intuition and experience that's the real move.

Still have no idea how in those nanoseconds he must've had to process iori's iai, he completed his understanding of it.
Definitely feels like the author is rushing his growth unnecessarily.

lets go! pls let that be the end of hiruhiko, his sword got broke and everything

i like that chihiros biggest strength is his observation skills

that happens to be my least favorite aspect so far.
It's cool, but I feel like it removes depth and makes him feel gimmicky.
Already I think this manga shows a lot more than it tells. It should keep that habit with character exposition
