Kami-Kaze has been a manga I’ve read extremely inconsistently these past ten years, therefore, the story is a bit hard for me to follow or keep track of. Luckily, the heavy political themes aren’t the only details of the story to grasp, leaving me some elements to tether myself to. Besides the politics of the story, its heart can be found in the combat scenes of which there is an alarming abundance. Even more fortuitously, there is a lot to be gleaned from combat scenes and how the combatants interact, fight, or compose themselves.
Besides all of that, I’ve discerned that there are no characters in Kami-Kaze which can escape being elevated to a higher purpose (or plane). Even the most ordinary of the cast from the start have a broader purpose and a rope steeped in blood and tied around their wrists. Misao is pushing the idea that the Kegai no Tami are going against their very nature of harmony by allowing themselves to be influenced by the wills of the Eighty-Eight Beasts. It begins with breaking the chain. There must be a change.
