On Tuesday, February 18, 2025, the official X account (@Kagurabachi_X) for Takeru Hokazono's manga revealed the cover image for Kagurabachi Volume 6. The illustration showcases the former wielder of the Kumeyuri Enchanted Blade, Yoji Uruha, at the top, the Tobiume user, Seiichi Samura at the bottom, and Chihiro Rokuhira and Hiruhiko at the center.

The illustration centers around the concept of twin dynamics between Uruha and Samura, and Chihiro and Hiruhiko. Yet, more than Chihiro and Hiruhiko, Uruha and Samura's dynamic gets the most focus in Kagurabachi Volume 6. Interestingly, the latest cover seems slightly cluttered than the previous ones.

However, the illustration hides a few intriguing details that are easy to miss out. At first glance, the cover gives the impression that Uruha is a heroic figure. However, if the cover is flipped on its head, Seiichi Samura is portrayed as the cover's primary figure.

In other words, the cover dexterously plays with their dynamic and hints at a marvelous twist in the manga. Likewise, Chihiro and Hiruhiko's inclusion in the cover lends the visual a nice twist, extending the dynamic concept to the next level.
