Hishaku is the central antagonist group of Kagurabachi and also one of the biggest mysteries related to the series. Led by Yura, this organization has been wreaking havoc by hiding the Six Enchanted blades from the protagonist. While their powers might be solely focused on utilizing Spirit Energy, the symbol of this organization might also indicate an underlying power that the series has yet to showcase.

The sign of this organization is a two-moon junction with one extending to the finger. The connection between these two moons might hint at the connection between the members of Hishaku (specifically a connection related to their sorcery). The symbol might be the result of a ritual every member has to undergo to receive their powers and these powers could be shared between the members of Hishaku.

Kagurabachi: Exploring the truth of Hishaku's symbol

The Hishaku is a group of top-class sorcerers from Kagurabachi that killed Kunishige Rokuhira, the forger of the Enchanted Blades, and stole 6 of them three years ago. While the series hasn't given any specific answer, the organization didn't take all 7 blades, and three years after the incident, the protagonist, Chihiro, emerged with the seventh blade, Enten, to avenge his father.

Even though Hishaku was introduced in the first chapter of Kagurabachi, their identity and strength are still shrouded in mystery, especially their leader Yura (also the series' central antagonist). Another mystery related to this organization might be its symbol present on every member's hand. Surprisingly, this symbol might be the answer to the strength of this organization.

As the organization is still a mystery, it is impossible to tell whether its members have been sorcerers from the start. So, the symbol might be a sign of a ritual that made members capable of manipulating their Spirit Energy (thus becoming sorcerers). Not only this, the shape of Hishaku's symbol might also hold some key secrets to the members' true powers that are yet to be showcased.

Hishaku's symbol represents two moons connected through their backs, forming a two-moon junction, as one of them extends into every member's finger. The 'connection' between moons might hint at the connection between every member of the organization. This connection might be spiritual given how everyone is adept at manipulating their Spirit Energy.

Moreover, this 'spiritual connection' might extend to every member sharing their sorcery techniques. A key giveaway is the 'Tree Generation' techniques that numerous members of Hishaku, including its leader Yura, could use. So, the two-moon junction symbol of Hisaku might be more than just a sign and might have a lore that would showcase the organization's true strength.

Analysis and final thoughts

Yura, being the leader of this organization, might be the one giving everyone their powers. as the source. However, as everything regarding him, and Hishaku, is still a big question mark, it is advised to wait for more answers once the official source confirms them. However, this theory could be taken as a good speculation of the true powers of Hishaku.
