“Samurai 8” Chapter 8 is now picking up pace following the slow drip feed of information in the previous releases. With Maru finally meeting his fated princess, the story is currently hurtling towards the bond-building between both main characters.
“Samurai 8” Chapter 8 will likely have Maru, Daruma, Princess Ann, Hayataro, and Hagamichi return to the presence of Princess Un and Princess Sa. It’s unclear what this interaction will breed for the plot and the relationship of each of these characters, but the calm nature of everyone involved suggests it’s going to be a diplomatic one.
“Samurai 8” Chapter 8 might also explore the consequences that will befall on Ann after she lost her Locker Ball. Of course, without her losing it, Maru wouldn’t have evolved to the warrior that he is now – though there’s still a lot of green in him than anything else.
It’s for this reason that “Samurai 8” Chapter 8 is expected to expand the training of Maru, especially since the Trinity is now complete. Daruma previously said that a samurai’s strength lies in three things: the warrior himself, an animal key holder, and a princess to act as a motivation to push through limitations.
In “Samurai 8” Chapter 8, it’s possible that Daruma will be officially tasked to oversee the training of Maru, while Ann also continues her princess tutelage as well. In the meantime, the major antagonist of the series has now been revealed, with a villain named Ata poised to retrieve out titular hero-in-training.
Not much is known about these antagonists only that they may also be after the Pandora’s Box and the keys needed to open the container. But right now, their main concern is acquiring this “eight child,” which is assumed to be Maru. As mentioned earlier, author Masashi Kishimoto is picking up the story’s pace, and it won’t be long until a significant battle erupts between both forces. As for the release date of “Samurai 8” Chapter 8, it’s been slated for release on June 30.
