Manga fans can read Takeru Hokazono's Kagurabachi chapter 86 on many Shueisha-affiliated services, including the MANGA Plus site, MANGA Plus app, Shonen Jump+ app, and the VIZ Media website.

However, these services only offer the first three and the latest three chapters for free, except the Shonen Jump+ app, which requires a subscription to access every chapter. Furthermore, readers must subscribe to MANGA Plus to read beyond the free chapters.

Kagurabachi chapter 85 recap

After chipping the Tobimune blade, Chihiro Rokuhira wonders whether it's enough to change Samura's mind. However, the blind swordsman fixes his blade using the Suzaku flames. Chihiro realizes that Samura won't heal his eyes, but will fix his katana because the swordsman doesn't want to see a new path where he lives.

Meanwhile, Samura fills the air around him with crow feathers, much like Chihiro's move against Hiruhiko at the theatre. Chihiro responds with the same attack, filling the space around him with Kuro. With black goldish and crow feathers swirling around, the space becomes thick with Spirit Energy, where only the two Enchanted Blade wielders can detect each other.

As Samura clashes blades against Chihiro, he asks the boy to put down his sword and let him bear the sins of the past. Samura knows the pain Chihiro is going through just by holding the Enchanted Blade. Thus, he wants the latter to let go of his past and let him handle it. Meanwhile, Iori approaches the space, traversing through the thick Spirit Energy.

On the other hand, Chihiro tells Samura that he won't ever forget his past, even if he were to die. Following this, the narrative focuses on the dual sentiments of Chihiro and Iori, as they both want to preserve the memories of their past. At this moment, Samura sees his late wife Inori's visage in front of him.

Inori reminds Samura of his promise to look after their daughter. Subsequently, Samura enters a symbolic state, where he finally opens the metaphorical door he has been desperately struggling to open.

He enters Iori's room and gently caresses the daughter. The chapter ends with Seiichi Samura opening his eyes after healing them with Suzaku flames. Then, the swordsman looks at his daughter and says she has grown up.

Given the recent developments in the narrative, Kagurabachi chapter 86 will likely show Samura's reactions and his conversation with Chihiro, who has shown him a new path; the swordsman has realized that he must survive for his daughter's sake.

This wouldn't have been possible if the Enten user hadn't cracked the Tobimune. Furthermore, the chapter may also show Iori's reactions after properly reuniting with her father.
