Kagurabachi Chapter 81 Spoilers: Kashima Killed Protecting Hakuri As Uruha Returns—Everything You Need To Know
As per the Kagurabachi Chapter 81 spoilers, the upcoming chapter will be titled Core Fighters. It begins with one of Kamunabi's leaders questioning the Barrierkeepers about the growing cases of employees succumbing to pine tree sorcery. The Barrierkeepers respond that they are still investigating the source of the sorcery. Although the Shinuchi Enchanted Blade remains unaffected, there is mounting concern that the Hishaku intend to destabilize the organization from within. The leadership identifies four critical elements that must be protected: the core barrier structure, the Shinuchi blade, the Sword Saint, and an undisclosed item. Hishaku's sorcery seeds and Kamunabi traitors revealed The Kagurabachi Chapter 81 spoilers then shift to Hakuri Sazanami as he roams the underground corridors of Kamunabi. He thinks about his lack of understanding of the identities of the intruders. He soon encounters Kashima, a squad captain and direct subordinate of Kudo. Kashima is surprised to see Hakuri without Kudo, prompting Hakuri to explain that Kudo sacrificed himself to protect him during the pine tree sorcery outbreak. Kashima then reveals that Hishaku embedded seeds within Kamunabi personnel that sprout pine tree sorcery upon their death. An urgent broadcast follows, stating that about 50 out of 500 personnel may be implanted with these deadly seeds. As a precaution, Kashima instructs others to maintain their distance from Hakuri in the Kagurabachi Chapter 81 spoilers. Soon after, the two agree to proceed together to secure the Shinuchi. However, Kudo suddenly appears, seemingly unharmed. While Hakuri is relieved, Kashima remains suspicious. Their disagreement is interrupted when a girl wielding twin daggers appears behind the supposed Kudo. Realizing the danger, Kashima takes a fatal hit to protect Hakuri, while the girl beheads everyone else. Kashima gets killed by Hishaku impostor as Uruha arrives Pine trees begin to sprout from their corpses, and Hakuri is hit away. He then sees 'Kudo' holding the dying Kashima hostage. It is revealed that this individual is not Kudo but someone imitating him. The imposter confirms Kudo died earlier in the Kagurabachi Chapter 81 spoilers. Alongside the dagger-wielding girl, the imposter mentions fulfilling a 'quota,' suggesting systematic infiltration. As Kashima urges Hakuri to flee, he dies in front of him. Meanwhile, the Barrierkeepers realize they are also under attack from infiltrating enemies, not just from the pine sorcery. Their information systems have been compromised, leading to confusion and urgency. Izaru calms them and directs the investigation. As Hakuri mourns Kashima's death and runs away in panic, Yoji Uruha suddenly reappears in the Kagurabachi Chapter 81 spoilers. He kills both the Hishaku and asks Hakuri to follow him.

Zico hails Ancelotti as ideal coach to revive Brazil's World Cup ambitions
KASHIMA, May 30 — Carlo Ancelotti's track record of getting the most out of Brazilian players makes him the best man to take the national team back to the top, football legend Zico told AFP. The Italian Ancelotti has vowed to make five-time World Cup winners Brazil champions again next year after becoming the first non-Brazilian to coach the side in six decades. He nurtured Brazilians such as Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid, helping to turn the 24-year-old from a figure of fun because of his inconsistent end product into one of the Spanish league's biggest stars. Zico is one of the best players ever to pull on Brazil's iconic yellow shirt and believes Ancelotti's understanding and experience make him the ideal man for the job. 'Ancelotti played with Brazilian players, he has been a champion coach with Brazilian players at several teams and he's always praised Brazilian players and put them in a position to help him,' Zico told AFP in Japan, where the 72-year-old is an adviser to J. League club Kashima Antlers. 'He has a great understanding, he loves football and his approach to football is very much in line with Brazilian thinking. 'So I think he can be successful for this reason, he can help Brazilian players thrive with his knowledge, his ability and his expertise.' At 65, Ancelotti has five Champions League titles under his belt and has managed the cream of Europe's clubs including Juventus, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. He is taking the reins of a national team for the first time and becomes Brazil's first foreign-born manager since 1965. Zico says Brazilian coaches are no longer in vogue around the world, pointing to declining numbers of his compatriots in former hotspots like Africa, Saudi Arabia and Japan. Qualifying in balance Zico, who has coached in several countries including Uzbekistan, Iraq and India, believes the Brazilian federation had little choice but to look overseas. 'Now is not a good time for Brazilian coaches, not just in Brazil but all over the world,' he said. 'Now, when it comes to the Brazil team, if you're going to bring someone in, bring the best. As I see it, Brazil brought the best. 'For me he's the best, so I don't see anything to complain about.' Brazil have yet to clinch their place at next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and are currently fourth in the South American qualifying table. Ancelotti is their fourth coach since Tite stepped down following the quarter-final loss to Croatia at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The Italian faces some tricky fixtures in World Cup qualifying, with games at Ecuador and Bolivia still to come. But Zico believes Brazil can be one of the main contenders for the trophy if they avoid the unthinkable and book their place in the tournament. 'I think Brazil have a chance if Ancelotti manages to do a good job in the short time he has,' he said. 'I think Brazil could become one of the contenders for the title. Why not? I don't see any team in the world today as favourites.' — AFP

Football: Marinos stun Antlers as bottom beat top in J1 classic
KYODO NEWS - 3 hours ago - 21:20 | Sports Bottom side Yokohama F Marinos stunned leaders Kashima Antlers 3-1 in the J-League first division on Sunday, the home team ending their record-worst seven-game losing run and 11-game winless streak. The only two "original 10" inaugural J-League members in 1993 who have never been relegated could not have had a more contrasting opening to this season, with Kashima flying high under new manager Toru Oniki while Marinos already parting ways with Steve Holland after a disastrous start and replacing him with Patrick Kisnorbo. But it was Kashima who came away empty-handed at Nissan Stadium, seeing their seven-game winning run come to an end and stay on 37 points as their lead at the top was narrowed to three points after second-placed Kashiwa Reysol drew 1-1 at Yokohama FC. "It feels great. I think it's down to all the players," Kisnorbo said at Nissan Stadium. "The last couple of weeks we've been building and building on our performances and today it shows that. But we can't stop now, we'll keep training hard and keep working." Marinos went in front after just four minutes as Kashima failed to clear the ball in the box, with left-back Katsuya Nagato arriving to strike the ball on a bounce to find the far bottom corner. Their dream start continued with Yan Matheus capping a flowing one-touch move from the left in the 13th minute. Takuya Kida's pass was laid off by Anderson Lopes and Riku Yamane to set up the Brazilian, who swept the ball into the left bottom corner. Lopes set up Marinos' third in the 27th minute after skipping past two challenges to feed compatriot Matheus, whose accurate curling effort from 20 meters out went in beyond a diving Kashima keeper Tomoki Hayakawa. Kashima got one back in the 36th minute in an unexpected manner when Ryotaro Araki passed inside the box to striker Leo Ceara, who was trying to get back up to his feet following a tangle and totally unaware as the ball bounced off him and looped into the net. The visitors failed to turn their dominance into chances after the break, however, and it was Marinos who had a golden opportunity in the 71st minute when Ren Kato had a shot saved at the near post, leaving an unmarked Lopes -- who was waiting for a tap-in -- furious. But it mattered little in the end as Marinos hung on to claim their first win since March 16, moving up to 11 points and eight points off safety. Elsewhere, Sanfrecce Hiroshima beat FC Tokyo 3-0 away for their fifth straight win to move up to 32 points, while 10-man Kyoto Sanga suffered a late 1-0 loss at Tokyo Verdy to remain on 31 points. Shimizu S-Pulse saw off Vissel Kobe 3-2, Fagiano Okayama drew 2-2 with Machida Zelvia and Albirex Niigata came from behind to beat Shonan Bellmare 2-1 to move up to 16 points, five points above Marinos. Kawasaki Frontale and Gamba Osaka drew 2-2.
