Kagurabachi chapter 87 recap

Ad

Picking up the events from the previous issue, the chapter kicks off with a Kamunabi sorcerer investigating the Hishaku at the Headquarters' Information Storage. Interestingly, nothing substantial about their origin, sorcery, and familial ties is found. It's almost as if they are phantoms.

Elsewhere, Azami wonders about Hishaku's plans after defeating the Samurai-masked sorcerer. As per the chapter, the Hishaku must reach the Threat Elimination Grounds to go further down. Azami feels it's perplexing that the remaining Hishaku sorcerers are yet to arrive.

At this moment, he senses something strange. Meanwhile, Uruha and Hakuri face a group of assassins hired by Hishaku. The ex-Kumeyuri user is disgusted by Hishaku's cowardly move of sending reinforcements rather than taking action themselves. He knows the Hishaku will arrive at the end to take the spoils.

Yet, Uruha is in no mood to lose a second time. Elsewhere, the remaining Hishaku members wait for Yura at a lounge. The Hishaku leader arrives and talks to a Kamunabi staff member at a desk. Yura asks him to show the way to the restroom. However, the elderly man doesn't listen.

When Yura asks him why he didn't run away, when other Kamunabi sorcerers did, the man states that he wanted to see the criminals responsible for Kunishige Rokuhira's death. He imagined them to be some rare monsters. However, he is disappointed to see a bunch of rowdy thugs, who are only good at sneaking around.

At this moment, Yura proposes to toss a coin; if he wins, the Kamunabi staff will show him the way, and if he loses, the man gets to take his life. Even though it's an ideal opportunity to get his name carved into history books, the man decides not to negotiate. At this moment, something unusual occurs.

Yura flips the coin, and the man instinctively calls tails. Suddenly, he comes to his senses and wonders what's wrong. Yura wins the toss and states the Gods must be truly on his side. For a moment, Yura's eyes darken, similar to the Sword Saint's eyes, when he is consumed by the Shinuchi's powers.

Nevertheless, the Hishaku leader asks the elderly Kamunabi staff if he is convinced about his ability. The man doesn't say anything, but only sweats. Meanwhile, in the restroom, a young Hishaku sorcerer asks Yura if he is not nervous. Yura states he is indeed, and it's only natural since they are putting their lives on the line.

That said, he feels that nervousness is preceded by victory. Also, Yura reminds the boy that he is the strongest fighter in Hishaku. Elsewhere, a Barrier Keeper faces difficulty in maintaining the Core Barrier. Izaru, one of the Kamunabi higher-ups, sees the sorcerer struggling. After he demonstrates his sorcery, the Barrier Keeper regains control over the barriers.

In the meantime, the Hishaku sneaks into the room where Hakuri and Uruha are via teleportation skills. Uruha assures Hakuri not to worry, as they aren't "unarmed." Since Uruha is no longer bound to an Enchanted Blade, he has regained his original sorcery. The chapter ends with Yoji Uruha ready to fight against the Hishaku with his sorcery.

Considering how the latest chapter ended, Kagurabachi chapter 88 will likely show Uruha's original sorcery. However, it remains to be seen how he can deal with five Hishaku sorcerers.

On the other hand, Kagurabachi chapter 88 may also tease the abilities of the newly introduced Hishaku sorcerers. Besides that, the chapter may shift the focus to Chihiro and Samura, who are on their way to Tokyo.
