Chapter's title: Higuruma's Past

The entire Chapter Focuses on Higuruma's Past and his lawyer activities.

At the end of the chapter, there is something more like a stand appears.

 

[Khurram]

-The Stand looks like a dyed version of Sachiel from EVA. It's shaped like a scarecrow. It's carrying a balance on both ends and its eyes are sewn shut.

Gege's comment for the chapter:
I accidentally put the same page on both the left and right side. This isn't the first time, either.

I find this flashback kind of... Out of nowhere? We've literally just been introduced to this guy, it seems it'll be a while until the main cast meets him, so what's the point of showing us the guy's backstory right now? Making sure you don't forget to do it? Breaking with the trope of death by flashback?

Meh/10 spoilers. Can we actually proceed to the actual culling games' main story? I heard we cared about some Hana lady calling herself an angel, Yuta had gone to investigate something, and there was some red head who might or might not be dead

it seems it'll be a while until the main cast meets him

What makes you think that?

While i understand where you come from, i find this as a way to set this guy as one the bigger deals in the CG, to me, it feels better to put it in here rather than in the middle of a fight cutting the flow or doing the trope of showing it at the last moments before is defeated and not mattering anymore afterwards. I think it works because it shows what kind of perturbed people are taking part of this CG, and help to theorize what kind of interactions/conflicts this character can potentially have with the main cast or other characters, based on his background, mindset and what overall we know of him.

If anything it looks like Gege is setting up this arc as a multiperspective type one kinda like the Sussecion War arc from HxH, where it focus on the perspectives of every participants from the get go (atleast the major ones), to anticipate the clash of ideals that will happen later.

 

[Franz]

I have the impression that Gege has noticed that between deaths, injuries and mutilations he has practically halved the cast in Shibuya and now he is trying to insert other characters to flesh out the ranks.

 

[Riku]

I think he seems interesting. The law system in Japan is absolutely skewed, and considering that the core concept here is that curses form from negative energy of people, it is an insightful and interesting concept to make a frustrated judge manifest a curse/cursed power. Curious to see if he will be an enemy all the way thorough, or end up as an ally. I mean, his ideals seem to be "good". Could be an Lawful Evil type of antagonist.

Besides, we knew we'd eventually meet the contenders of the culling game. Now that they've collected re-enforcements to the group, is time to meet the opposition. Then we are ready clash.

 

[requiem46]

What makes you think that?

It'd be pretty weird to cut from Yuuji meets Hakari straight into Yuuji has tracked the lawyer and is about to fight him without showing us anything of the other characters that were highlighted as CG PARTICIPANTS!! Back in the day in twitter's promotion. The lawyer without flashback sounded like a civilian-gone-sorcerer-and-crazy minor arc antagonist. After this flashback background, I think he'll be just that, abd if it turns out to be minor... Why bother giving him this long flashback? A chapter is what we got for Yaga's background and death, for contrast

I think this flashback implies that he was already psychopathic enough before the CG, and with the CG he received a powerup, so he started killing civilians left and right (starting by everyone in that court that were part of the Justice System show). He seems to have a cursed spirit or shikigami bound to him that is a misrepresentation of Justice's symbol (the blind lady with the scales), so he's basically handling a curse out of all the feelings of injustice, which I guess could be big news... But he's basically killed off nothing but fodders, so I don't really see him as much of a big deal for the main cast

agree with you that we will probably have many points of view in thid arc. I just don't find this guy particularly interesting

I don't think it will be a minor character. After all, in the last chapter he had been indicated as one of the participants with the most points along with what appears to be an acquaintance of Sukuna....

Time to time, it was practically introduced by two chapters

I am surprised that the flashback takes up the whole chapter (with no lead-in at all), but it just tells me that Gege likes his character that much/sees enough potential in it.

As for the art, I miss what it looked like early on, but it's a lot about fatigue and time constraints now.

Also, the fan translation is out.

 

[animeangryfan4]

so I am getting HxH vibes in the art at last? I did nt udnerstand this chapter at all.
what a sigh

 

[Riku]

I already like this guy a lot. Great chapter!
