The brief
Ibuki Misaka is printed as Samura’s equal in the Seitei War. That is not a fandom ranking. It is why Cloud Gouger’s original bearer matters when recaps start the sword with Sojo. Samura kept Tobimune because Kunishige thought someone should keep other people alive. Ibuki put Cloud Gouger down.
After the treaty, Malediction, confiscation, hideout. Samura ends in Sanso logic and a temple. Ibuki ends in a Hishaku murder. The equals do not share a retirement. Natsuki is the family that kept training. Iori is the family Samura tried to unhook from the job.
What equality costs
When Chihiro copies Iai, he is copying Samura’s school, not Ibuki’s weather. When Chihiro spends leftover Cloud Gouger charges, he is spending Ibuki’s opened contract. The wartime pair sits under both later rooms. See wartime two and bearers.
