Who Is Genichi Sojo in Kagurabachi?
Many people are impressed with Sojo, Kagurabachi's very first villain. He is simple but ruthless, and he is the only one who has questioned Chihiro's perceptions and ideals about his late father, Kunishige Rokuhira.
Unlike others who believe Kunishige is a hero, Genichi Sojo disagrees. He is irritated that all of the literature he reads portrays Kunishige as the people's hero, even though he is the man who gave birth to enchanted blades designed to slaughter and kill people.
Sojo is a well-known weapons dealer in Japan, and those who work underground recognize him as one of the big fish.
He has the power to manipulate sorcerers and necromancers, making him one of Kamunabi's most wanted individuals for the past decade.
He has also previously wielded Kuregumo, also known as the Cloud Gouger, one of Kunishige's seven mystical swords. He used Kuregumo's skills against Chihiro but ultimately lost to him.
Worse, Sojo attempted to stabilize Datensaki but ultimately failed, resulting in his death. In other words, his desire to surpass Kunishige drove him insane, but he eventually became one of the series' best characters.
With this, fans are wondering about possible ways Sojo can return to the series once again.
Will Genichi Sojo Return in Kagurabachi? Theories Explored
As of writing, Genichi Sojo has yet to return in Kagurabachi, so speculations regarding his possible return will continue to circulate on online forums such as Reddit and X.
One Reddit user believes Sojo will return as a katana using the mechanism of Lifelong Contract. If this is the case, he may have imbued a portion of his soul with Cloud Gouger before his death.
Another theory proposes that Sojo imbued the fragment of Datensaki he was clutching when he died. If so, the Hishaku will most likely be able to create a new weapon from it, paving the way for Sojo to return.
Meanwhile, others think Sojo will reincarnate as the next wielder of the Cloud Gouger, which is currently in the hands of Chihiro.
There are numerous speculations online, but do you think Sojo will return in Kagurabachi? Let us know in the comments below!
