this how u know hokazono's good at writing tension

It def feels like it but it can't be, we haven't been introduced to any of the other sword bearers, we haven't seen Hakuri's potential blossom yet, there's just too much that hasn't come full circle or properly introduced for it to already begin to come to an end (ngl if it is coming to an end tho i'm kind of disappointed, there's so much more to tell)
