Since the release of One Piece Chapter 1079 spoilers, fans are going crazy over the context of the chapter. They have stated that the chapter is the greatest one released so far this year, even though it has not been completely revealed yet. Fans are excited after knowing that the great Shanks has finally made an appearance. However, the attack that Shanks used to defeat Kid is revealed to be a hidden reference belonging to the Pirate King, which has made fans even more amazed.
In this article, we will discuss what Kamusari attack is and give you all the details about it. Spoiler alert, Shanks is the one who wields this powerful technique in One Piece Chapter 1079.
Spoilers for the chapter so far reveal that it will be focused on two parts: one continuing the events of Egghead Island at the beginning, and the other depicting the fight between Kid and Shanks. The first context for One Piece Chapter 1079 states that York will continue his plan to become a sky dragon, but at first, a flashback will occur explaining how he planned everything that has happened so far.
In this chapter, we will learn that York realizes that he has been betrayed by the World Government, and they plan to destroy him along with other Vegapunk, so he intends to hide Cipher Pol agents and Stella and have his own plan if someone goes to the south. One interesting thing that happens in the chapter is the appearance of Blackbeard’s ship near Egghead Island.
The chapter then changes perspective, and we see the scene of Elbaf Island with Kid approaching to fight the red-haired pirate. We know that the fleet led by the Red Haired Yonko consists of weak pirates, and they survive thanks to the Yonko’s flag.
Kamusari (神避かむさり Kamusari literally means “Godly Avoidance”) is a technique that makes the Pirate King hold his sword in his right hand, fill it with Haoshoku Haki, and then swing it horizontally. This technique creates a powerful Haki slash to attack his opponent. Kamusari was first seen used by Gol D Roger against Kozuki Oden, hitting his body with a dark energy burst like thunder, and strong enough to defeat his two swords defense, sending him back very far away.
The word Kamusari, which is used in Kojiki, refers to someone’s death. In VIZ manga and Funimation subs, it is called ‘Divine Departure.’
Shanks, known as the Red Hair (赤髪 Akagami), is the captain of the Red Hair Pirates, and also a member of the Yonko commanding the New World. He is a former legendary member of the Roger Pirates, who became the only group to conquer the Grand Line.
Shanks is a relatively tall man, muscular, dark-skinned, and at the peak of his youth. Among Yonko past and present, he stands out as the smallest, with the furthest proportion, while the others have various levels of inhuman proportions. His hair color is a deep-crimsonish shade that perfectly suits his nickname. What stands out is that, uniquely among all seen characters, even the ones with equivalent hair colors, Shanks’ hair is the only one filled with gray scales in black and white manga.
In conclusion, One Piece Chapter 1079 is going to be a treat for fans, where they will see Shanks in action for the first time in a while, performing the powerful Kamusari technique of the Pirate King. The chapter is set to release on March 27, 2023.
