A brief recap of Kagurabachi chapter 8

The chapter titled Norisaku Madoka - I Will Change kicked off with Azami assuring Chihiro about their plan and advising him to take care of himself and Char. Meanwhile, Shiba speculated that since the Kamunabi was aiding them, Sojo's lackeys wouldn't show up. Yet he advised everyone to lay low for the time being.

Additionally, the chapter revealed that the Daruma-sorcerer's name was Norisaku Madoka. His painful past was also shown when his own family rejected him because of his associations with Sojo. However, Shiba's advice changed his mind, and he vowed to live a different life.

As such, the sorcerer called his sister and begged her forgiveness. When Madoka told his sister that he couldn't reach their mother via telephone, she asked him to meet her the next day. However, upon reaching the designated place, he discovered her brutally stabbed.

Before he could react, Sojo's blade pierced him from behind. The malicious mafia boss had killed Madoka's family because of his failure to do the job for him. After killing the Daruma sorcerer, Sojo went on to kill another sorcerer, from whom he discovered the whereabouts of Chihiro.

Chapter 8 then saw Sojo infiltrating Chihiro's hideout and jumping straight into the action. Unsheathing his blade, he straightaway went for Hinao. However, Chihiro's quick reflexes timely blocked the attack and saved her life. The mafia boss emphatically exclaimed that he had come to have a duel with the wielder of an enchanted blade.

Anger fueled inside Chihiro when he laid his eyes upon the Cloud Gouger. The chapter ended with him unsheathing his blade, Enten, to face Genichi Sojo, despite knowing his limitations.


What to expect in Kagurabachi chapter 9

Undoubtedly, Kagurabachi chapter 9 promises a delightful showdown between Genichi Sojo and Chihiro Rokuhira. The chapter is likely to display Sojo's true strength as a sorcerer and the abilities of the Cloud Gouger blade.

As for Chihiro, it remains to be seen how he can confront someone stronger than him. Considering the fact that Azami once mentioned that Chihiro wasn't ready to face Sojo at his present strength, it's likely that he will lose the battle.

However, fans can expect Shiba to intervene and use his teleportation sorcery to escape with everyone in Kagurabachi chapter 9. That said, it's not known whether he can use it to escape with more than one person. Nonetheless, fans can expect another fascinating chapter from Takeru Hokazono next week.
