Kagurabachi chapter 86 recap

The chapter kicks off with Chihiro Rokuhira on the verge of losing consciousness, having used the Enten for too long. With blurred vision, the Enten user looks at the silhouette in front and wonders whether it's Iori. Chihiro also thinks that his efforts might not have been enough to convince Samura.
As he is about to fall from overexertion, Samura appears and catches him. The Tobimune user tells Chihiro that he was able to wear him down. Moreover, he acknowledges that Chihiro wouldn't release his grip on the sword, even if he died. Chihiro replies that it's because of the memories associated with his father.
At this moment, Samura asks him if he truly intends to use the Enten to break the Shinuchi. While Chihiro knows that he still has ways to go, he vows to get there. Acknowledging Chihiro's resolve, Samura says it's only the start. He knows Chihiro can do it with Enten. Moreover, Samura finds out that Chihiro's refined swordsmanship has come from his daughter, Iori.

Following that, the chapter illustrates a heartwarming reunion between a father and a daughter. Iori's eyes well up as she punches Samura in the gut and then hugs him tightly. Seeing their reunion moves Chihiro, who finally shows a hint of a smile. Meanwhile, Rou informs Samura about the Hishaku's infiltration of the Kamunabi HQ.
A series of questions pop into Samura's mind as he wonders if the Hishaku are trying to kill the Sword Saint without an Enchanted Blade. He speculates whether the Hishaku intended to subvert him from the beginning. Chihiro breaks his reverie and suggests they must go soon. Yet this time, he doesn't want to carry the burden alone.
Since the Tobimune Enchanted Blade was originally crafted for support, Chihiro wants to team up with Samura and deal with the other Enchanted Blades and Hishaku together. The Tobimune user feels he has truly been defeated by everyone. Following this, the chapter showcases a breathtaking panel featuring a scene from the Seitei War, with the Enchanted Blade wielders going after the Sword Saint.

A panel later, the chapter switches to the lowest level of the Kamunabi HQ, where the Sword Saint is confined within four pillars. Apparently, the pillars surrounding the Sword Saint are life support. They provide the prisoners inside the barrier with minimal nourishment, only to keep them alive. For 18 years, the Sword Saint has sat in complete stillness.
At this moment, he suddenly gets up and says the time is nigh. Elsewhere, the Shinuchi's seals appear slightly peeled off. The chapter ends with Samura and Chihiro preparing to head to Kamunabi HQ.
