Kagurabachi Chapter 30 Recap

The chapter opens with a flashback panel in which Shiba informs Chihiro that he will be going to the basement of Rakuzaichi first. Simultaneously, a brief explanation narrates how the Tou, also known as the four most powerful members of Sazanami, position themselves at the four corners of the Rakuzaichi stage.

Despite this, Kyora Sazanami gives them the task of guarding the basement instead, as it is the most probable location for Chihiro to enter. The focus of the chapter then shifts to the Tou, who are tasked with protecting the entrance to the Sazanami clan’s graveyard, Naginojoen.

The possibility of Chihiro discovering the secret emergency exit door in the storeroom is being discussed. Tou believes that, in addition to Hakuri’s intelligence, Chihiro may also uncover the door’s existence through his connection with the Enten.

Without warning, Soya Sazanami catches sight of Hakuri and immediately pursues him. Simultaneously, Shiba teleports behind the remaining three members of Tou and casually inquires about how to unlock the door. It is later revealed that Hakuri’s task is to divide and conquer the Tou.

Despite sticking to the original plan of running as fast as possible to reach the surface and reunite with Chihiro, Hakuri is met with a wooden wall blocking his exit path. This obstacle makes it impossible for him to return to Shiba and he must find another solution.

Hakuri is grateful for Chihiro’s kindness and is determined to return the favor. Therefore, he musters up the courage to face his fears and challenges Soya alone. At the same time, Chihiro impresses everyone with the deadly skills of the Cloud Gouger, while also recognizing a rival with a recognizable tattoo on their hand. The chapter concludes with Chihiro Rokuhira confronting a member of the Hishaku clan.

It is expected that in chapter 31 of Kagurabachi, the identity of the Hishaku member will be revealed and a thrilling battle between him and Chihiro will take place. There is a chance that Chihiro may be defeated in this battle, but it is uncertain if Hiyuki will step in to defend him.

Alternatively, the chapter may focus on Shiba’s epic showdown with the three Tou members. In simpler terms, readers can anticipate the chapter to finally display Shiba’s serious fighting skills.

In addition, Kagurabachi chapter 31 could also focus on the clash between Hakuri and Soya Sazanami. Despite Soya causing him nothing but pain throughout his life, Hakuri will not give up until he demonstrates his true abilities.
