Interesting chapter, but I guess making armor was more logical than Shigure making weapons for them and then training them with those weapons.
Seems as if Yomi is having some serious breakdowns, but I don't think the weapon and non-weapon users like each other anyway. Not sure if that was actually mentioned a while ago or if I'm just making it up. It's kind of obvious they don't trust each other at the moment.

the weapon team and the unarmed team had always had a bitter rivalry that is border on hatred.
Anyway, awesome chapter. I kept rereading just to look at Shigure.
That shot with Apachai and Kagerou is priceless (the "they will be your training partner" page)

Gotta love these Shigure heavy chapters.
Didn't much like the part on how Kenichi kept thinking that she was making weapons even after he was told that she wasn't. It's like he seems to have been dumbed down a bit lately.

It's because Rimi left YOMI. She was the glue that held them together.
I wonder if we'll see the other weapons team disciples next chapter.

I am going to make a prediction:
...No one from the alience is going to die this arc.
That is all.

I picked a good chapter to miss out on.

Fanservice! Who knew forging steel was so hot?
Also, guest staring Rachel's nipple. I am digging that guy's kodachi, for two reason now

Brilliant deduction. I can't see any fault with the reasoning.
We shall see. I think it's likely.
A better question is whether or not Shigure will introduce us to more weapon user masters that we haven't seen before or if all the master calibur fighting will be done by Ryozanpaku's masters.

That is a good question I hope that there are more.

Freya's father isn't senile like he leads everyone to believe it's possible he might show up again and get involved.

ya Freya's grandfather is in the super master class too. He could take on Yami bases on his own without any apparent effort, and I want to see more of him. He is funny.
Although I am itching to see more of Ma Kensei. A character with so much potential, being so underutilized.
Edit: there used to be a discussion on mangafox forum on who will fight Kushinada, Akisame (similar style) or Kensei (the only one who nearly matched her speed, short of the Elder himself) or Shigure (closed the gap in skill and speed by extremely keen survival instincts).
I just realize that that could play out as an even more exaggerated version of the competition for the swordlady fight. Akisame (just out of stubborness and playful competition) and Ma (out of his ero spirit) engaged in a friendly duel to decide who will fight Kushinada. They fought to a standstill and both tired out, and so the one finally fighting will be Shigure
I hope so badly that this scenario will play out eventually.

Kisara- tekken for her shins
Takeda- some kind of glove
I'm not sure what Sieg. Will get that one will be interesting...

I hope it's some kind of modern armor that's not too intrusive. Renka and Miu will of course be getting something skimpy that we'll all be complaining about. Well not because of Renka though...Renka could spend the rest of the series naked and I would be happy.

Their armor should be directly modeled after Shigure's.
For reference (don't open when anyone is looking :<):

I want to see Kensei's Wife because he is scared of her so I want to see why.

I wonder if The Valkyries will make a mager apperance in this arc because it deals with weapons.
