Kagurabachi, the popular manga series about a young swordsman named Chihiro Rokuhira seeking revenge with a cursed blade, has gained a massive fan following. Recently, an alternate version called Reversebachi has been circulating online, sparking curiosity among fans. But is it an official spin-off, or just a creative fan project?
What Is Reversebachi?
Reversebachi is a fan-made reimagining of Kagurabachi, where the characters’ personalities and designs are flipped. In this version, Chihiro is cheerful instead of brooding, with white hair instead of his usual dark locks. His mentor, Shiba, is depicted with black hair, creating a stark contrast to the original series.
The concept plays with the serious tone of Kagurabachi, turning it into a lighthearted parody. Fans enjoy the absurdity of seeing a revenge-driven protagonist transformed into a happy-go-lucky character. However, this alternate universe exists purely as a creative exerciseโnot an official storyline.
“It is so refreshing to see such a joyful protagonist for once,” one fan commented.
“ITS REVERSING TIME,” another fan joked.
Why Did Fans Create Reversebachi?
The idea of Reversebachi emerged during Kagurabachi’s break weeks, when fans needed something to keep the community engaged. Similar to other fandoms like Jujutsu Kaisen, where fans create absurd alternate versions during hiatuses, Reversebachi became a fun way to pass the time.
The parody doesnโt change the main story but exaggerates the differences for humor. Fans see it as a refreshing break from the dark themes of revenge and tragedy in the original manga.
“This fandom is insane lmfao,” a fan remarked about the creativity behind Reversebachi.
Will Reversebachi Ever Become Official?
No, Reversebachi is not an official spin-off. It remains a fan-driven project, with no plans from the original creators to adapt it. However, its popularity shows how deeply invested fans are in Kagurabachi. The playful twist keeps the community active and united, proving that even the darkest stories can inspire humor.
How Fans Are Reacting to Reversebachi
Responses have been mixed but mostly positive. Some fans love the contrast of a cheerful Chihiro, while others see it as a fun inside joke. Many appreciate the creativity, even if they know itโs not canon.
“Canโt wait to meet the Hershaku,” a fan teased, referencing another potential parody character.
The trend highlights how fandoms can expand a series’ universe beyond its original intent. While Reversebachi wonโt be part of the official lore, it remains a beloved fan creation.
