Kagurabachi is presently showcasing its third story arc, which features a character that bears a striking resemblance to a renowned Jujutsu Kaisen antagonist.
The ongoing Sword Bearer Assassination Arc in the Kagurabachi manga kicks off with Chihiro’s desire to become part of the Kamunabi. Moreover, Hakuri’s newly awakened Storehouse proves to be exceptionally advantageous, as Chihiro aims to connect with former wielders of the Enchanted Blade to facilitate the transfer of these blades away from the Hishaku.
This narrative introduces Hiruhiko, a pivotal figure among the Hishaku sorcerers. He is characterized as a sadistic and battle-thirsty villain who relishes the excitement of combat and bloodshed. In Chapter 52 of Kagurabachi, more about Hiruhiko is unveiled, particularly in relation to his interaction with Chihiro, which echoes the dynamics found between Yuji and Mahito in Jujutsu Kaisen.
The chapter concludes with Hiruhiko asserting that he alone can comprehend Chihiro, much to the latter’s irritation. In Jujutsu Kaisen, Mahito frequently discusses the similarities he shares with Yuji.

A notable translator for JJK commented, “Kagurabachi バチ52本誌 aso okay I see JP fans mentioning it too—I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the parallel between Hiruhiko and Mahito with the whole similar faces and casually talking to normies in the theater and cinema. They appreciate some human culture too…!”
Fans have certainly observed the likeness between JJK’s notorious villain and the newcomer in Kagurabachi. One user
“I’m excited about Hiruhiko!! And I hope that everyone views him as his own character and not merely as Mahito’s reincarnation lol,” expressed another fan.
“I genuinely appreciate how Hiruhiko challenges Chihiro. He seeks to reveal how alike they truly are, while Chihiro stubbornly refuses to accept this comparison. It strongly mirrors the Yuji and Mahito dynamic,” a third user shared.
