If Samura was supposedly in contact with Yura 3 years ago…

Kunishige died 3 years ago in the story, and Samura knew that he went into hiding.

… What if Samura knew where Kunishige lived, and gave his location away to the Hishaku, who then murdered him?

If Samura seemingly considers the master swordsman (the wielder of Magatsumi) as a monster who should be killed to the point of allying with Hishaku, then logically he SHOULD also hold Kunishige accountable as the one who actually forged all those swords.

Also. If this is true, then I ACTUALLY CALLED IT.

Yes. I called this.

During an older post where I theorized on the swordbearers and their attitudes towards Kunishige (at this point, we had just got Uruha’s introductory chapter), I used their eyes as a point of theorizing.

The swordbearers with the most intact eyes (IE Uruha and possibly the girl) are the most devoted and loyal to Kunishige, while those with damaged eyes are the ones least loyal to him, but also the most self-aware of the destruction they caused in the Seitei War.

So, using that idea, I speculated that Samura, being literally blind, was the guiltiest of the swordbearers, and that he might even sacrifice his life to the Hishaku as a way of repenting for his sins.

And now, lo and behold. Samura has been revealed to be a rat who potentially helped orchestrate Kunishige’s assassination and has potentially even killed Uruha, all the while showing very clear regret over what he and the other swordbearers did, with that guilt potentially BEING the driving motivation for him betraying Kunishige.
