History[]
Past[]
In the past, Kagero was allied with the Kouzuki Family. After hearing Kouzuki Toki's prophecies about the downfall of Kurozumi Orochi and the opening of Wano Country's borders, Kagero became a priest and waited for 20 years for the Nine Red Scabbards' return.[1][3]
During the Timeskip[]
After 20 years, Kagero and his comrades witnessed Momonosuke's return, and they swore their loyalty to the Kouzuki Family and offered themselves as allies to stand against Orochi.[1]
Wano Country Saga[]
Wano Country Arc[]
Two days before the Raid on Onigashima, Kagero listened as Jibuemon discussed how to gather together without drawing too much attention.[5]
After invading Onigashima and donning a disguise, Kagero joined Kin'emon's Eastern forces. The group split up at a brothel, and Kagero continued to follow Kin'emon across the bridge. The group heard someone from inside the brothel and all jumped in the water to hide, except Chopper and Usopp who were riding in the Brachio Tank V.[4] After Luffy declared an all-out war on the Live Floor, Kagero and his allies abandoned their disguises and stood ready to fight the enemy crew.[6]
Anime and Manga Differences[]
In Episode 909, Kagero makes a different initial appearance, walking through the Flower Capital before overhearing a classroom. He approaches it and listens from outside as Sarahebi teaches the students that Kouzuki Oden and the Nine Red Scabbards were villains who were defeated by Orochi. Kagero becomes enraged but suppresses his emotions.[2]
In Episode 959, the Kouzuki Family's allies, including Kagero and Jibuemon, met in Kibi to discuss the raid, but the location of their meeting was not shown in the manga.[7]
Trivia[]
- His name and hidden, fiery spirit may be a reference to heat haze, (陽炎, Kagerō?), which creates an illusion from heated air.
