The picture has revealed the color schemes for Shiba, Hiyuki, and the Sazanami family in an interesting way. The illustration depicts Shiba with blonde hair, Hiyuki with dark black hair, and the Sazanami family, including Hakuri, with white hair.

The color page highlights the current Rakuzaichi arc of the Kagurabachi manga.

Kagurabachi Manga’s Latest Color Page Reveals Hair Colors for Shiba, Hiyuki, and the Sazanami Family

On Thursday, April 25, 2024, the colored illustration for Kagurabachi manga’s release in Weekly Shonen Jump 22–23 was accidentally revealed prior to its intended publication date of Monday, April 29, 2024, at 12 AM JST. It had previously been announced that the manga would receive consecutive center-color pages in issues 22–23 and 24 of the magazine.

In contrast to the earlier color pages that solely focused on the protagonist, Chihiro Rokuhira, the most recent artwork showcases a variety of characters, including Shiba, Hiyuki, Hakuri, the Tou, and Kyora Sazanami, head of the Sazanami clan.

The new colored illustration is significant as it also showcases the official color schemes for the other significant characters, such as Shiba who has blonde hair and Hiyuki Kagari who has dark hair, in addition to Chihiro Rokuhira.

Apart from them, the Sazanami family members are also depicted in the illustration, all of whom have white hair and gray eyes. Additionally, the colored poster features Kyora Sazanami dressed in a dark suit with a golden tie.

Additionally, the display of his magical abilities is depicted in black streaks. In contrast, Shiba is dressed in an off-white shirt, while Hiyuki Kagari is wearing a black jacket. The illustration also unveils that Togo Shiba’s complete name is Shiba Togo. This implies that Shiba is not his given name, but rather a title.

In addition to the color schemes, the most recent center color page for Kagurabachi manga bears a striking resemblance to an old-fashioned Japanese movie poster. Certain fans have even drawn comparisons between the poster and the Japanese version of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

Based on the fact that Takeru Hokazono, the author, is a huge fan of both the John Wick franchise and Tarantino’s films, it is possible that the movie poster drew inspiration from these sources. Furthermore, the recently released illustration could potentially be used as the official poster for the ongoing Rakuzaichi arc in the manga.

The recent release of the color page for Kagurabachi manga has fulfilled the long-standing desires of fans by revealing the official colors for all characters, with the exception of Chihiro Rokuhira and Genichi Sojo.

Despite the lack of color schemes for Hinao and Char in the latest illustration, fans can anticipate their reveal in the near future. The decision to focus on Rakuzaichi as the main theme in the illustration explains their absence, as they play a secondary role in this arc.
