Kagurabachi Chapter 38 Recap

The chapter Race opens with a flashback to a previous moment, in which Hakuri reveals to Chihiro that the figure on the podium is not his father, but a projected image from his mind. The true Kyora Sazanami is actually protecting his goods in the Storehouse.

After that, Hakuri registers Chihiro so that he can be sent into Kyora’s Storehouse. However, he suddenly realizes that he can retrieve the blade himself because Enten is indirectly registered, thanks to being imbued with Chihiro’s Spirit Energy.

Despite Chihiro’s reluctance, he urges Hakuri to refrain from retrieving the blade and instead suggests that he personally confront and defeat the clan head. He proposes that Hakuri takes over the management of the Storehouse after the eventual passing of its current manager, Kyora Sazanami.

Following this, the chapter shifts its focus to Chihiro’s clash with Kyora Sazanami. In this encounter, the main character expertly wields both Nishiki and Kuro: Shred techniques at the same time. Despite Chihiro’s impressive display, Kyora counteracts with strategic manipulation of the Storehouse’s terrain and weapons.

Kyora firmly believes that his presence in the Storehouse is enough to overcome any opponent, even someone wielding an Enchanted Blade. In addition to concealing numerous katanas, the man relentlessly hurls dozens of grenades at Chihiro. Hakuri is convinced that the Enten user will struggle to keep pace with sheer speed alone.

Despite Chihiro’s clever use of his Spirit Energy to cut down the grenades and Hakuri’s retrieval of them in the auction hall, the bombs still detonated in the auditorium and took out multiple spectators from the underworld. Despite this setback, Kyora remained undeterred as he still had plenty of weapons at his disposal, while Chihiro appeared exhausted from the effort.

In a sudden realization, he notices that Chihiro has been using his school of black goldfish to imbue the prisoners with his Spirit Energy, resulting in several empty prisons. This was all in an effort to aid Hakuri in rescuing the prisoners. Meanwhile, numerous attendees at the Rakuzaichi attempt to flee.

Despite being shouted at by Kyora Sazanami, the group is informed that the auction will continue according to the initial schedule. The chapter concludes with Kyora revealing that the next item up for bidding at the Rakuzaichi will be the powerful Shinuchi Enchanted Blade.

Based on the conclusion of the previous chapter, it is highly probable that chapter 39 of Kagurabachi will feature Kyora Sazanami navigating through the auction process for the Shinuchi Enchanted Blade. It is certain that he will have contingency plans in place to prevent Chihiro from obtaining the Enchanted Blade.

Despite Chihiro and Hakuri’s successful thwarting of the Sazanami head’s plans, he remains confident that the upcoming Shinuchi auction will be the key to his success. Furthermore, in Kagurabachi chapter 39, it is likely that the Kamunabi members will seize the opportunity to bid for Shinuchi. As a result, readers can anticipate a great deal of excitement and action in the upcoming chapter.
