In the first arc, when Enbos fights the pack of wolves, there was actually a subtle buildup to the moment his sword dramatically breaks. If you look carefully at the status screens, you can see the quality of his sword degrading over time.

As many of you are aware, I've been wrestling with the health and mana bar problem ever since the site updated. However, only now did I realise I could have done something like this all along:

In Chapter 48, I made a small retcon to continue the theme of interconnectedness and cause-and-effect. Originally, it was Ken, one of Takashi's sons, who broke the boulder that led to Mr Bonny's undead fate. However, I removed that part and made Chiyoko the one who broke the boulder as a result of tapping into the (Chapter 61).

I'll probably explain once he outright reveals what he is in the story.

Aside from my job, it's the second biggest reason I take so long to release a chapter, having almost quadrupled in length from the first arc.
