Beware Spoilers - Crazy theory on magatsumi or i went too far
Lets talk about this pannel
After Yura lost, Soga then magically swap places with him and baam, from water to wine, yura now is soga.
But lets talk about after this.
Why did Soga said "I'll give you your body back"?
This is what ingrigues me the most.
If he doesnt plan on settling down after winning the bout against chihiro and samura, why say that?
Instead, he decides to take over everything and keep going until shokoko lineage all dead.
What if, Soga is long gone, since the war?
Whos talking is magatsumi instead.
That phrase was directed to soga, not yura.
Its the sword talking to him, whos somehow controlled by the sword, but not mind controlled to inhibit talking.
The body the magatsumi speaks of is yura body, cause his original body locked up for years was no use for combat anymore, since i believe it should be weak as hell with atrophied muscles (if that was his original body, right)
In the short flashback we had of a young soga, he was afraid of killing people.
well, being afraid didnt stopped him killing 200k later on
But, samura said chihiro would "cure" him of his curse, and i think magatsumi is it.
Why is soga able to float?
Because the body is "empty", may have soga conciousness but doesnt have body control. A shell with memories. The same way the shinuchi floats in some pannels.
Floating Soga = Floating magatsumi
Chihiro with a dieing cloud gouger said "keep it together" and it seems to have understood him and then made a last attack, sacrificing itselft, almost like they show conciousness.
If you saw Naruto, imagine what im speaking like when Kyubi takes over, its still naruto body but hes not controlling it. The same way when sasuke opened a hole in his heart, the fox just healed him back to normal with pure hate powers (?)
Now after the fight, naruto doesnt take the body back, its still kyubi, but as the reason for the rage is gone (the fight), she would not be angrylike as how we see when he loses control.
The events in the war that "broke" Soga, changing his belief, is when the true realm of the sword takes over the body, turning his eyes shady black because a sword still needs a body to wield it.
And thats when soga snapped and then mass murder as we know.
Damn im eager for the next chapters....
What do you guys think?
