Chapter 19 Of Samurai 8: Hachimary Dan showed us what we already had been noticing for many chapters, Hachimaru needs to be trained as it seems like he has been deviating bit. He participated in the tournament which he mentions as battle royale and taking place which seems like a room with hilts. Meanwhile the two thieves are being monitored by samurai to ensure if they are trustworthy. The thieves are released from their cuffs but after being reminded by Daruma that the ship is his hilt and he can eliminate them if needed. It didn’t take any longer for the thief to determine that he can easily defeat Hachimaru in the battle. The match between Ryu and Samurai begins. While Hachimaru still tries to monitor his moves, Ryu gets a scored in a point based match in which a blow on any part of the body counts as a score. Ryu leading with 30 scores Hachimaru still trying hard to hit him but even after all in vain. After making so many efforts and being constantly teased by Kotsuga, claiming that Ann should be the next Samurai, the idea of throwing a blade hits him. By hitting Ryu with the help of blade, Samurai scored a point along with a severe injury. Despite of being hit several times by the opponent, it can be said that Hachimaru cannot be underestimated. With some improvements he can be great fighter. It will be very amusing to see how he manage to achieve that. While we still have many days to wait for the next chapter let’s discuss some good points of this week’s chapter.
Although Kotsuga has been quite annoying, he is quite right about the incompetence of Hachimaru. Even though he defeated Ata, he still needs extensive training to be a great Samurai. Hachimaru’s battle with Ryu has been a good opportunity for him to learn from it.
Samurai 8: Hachimaru’s Den has followed the theme of Shounen of never giving up. Despite of getting hit again and again our Samurai didn’t give up and kept fighting. He used different styles but managed to score against Ryu.
Samurai 8: Hachimaru Den chapter 19 has to go a long way to become a great warrior to fulfill his wish of defeating his enemies. Since there is still sometime until the tournament, Hachimaru can manage to get the victory.
