In the previous chapter, Shinuchi’s powers had a strong impact on Kyora Sazanami, causing him to lose control of his actions. By some unknown means, he and Chihiro and Hiyuki were transported to the auction room. There, the head of the Sazanami clan used Shinuchi’s powers to eliminate numerous spectators.

However, Hakuri and his companions came to the realization that Kyora’s Storehouse might not be able to withstand for much longer. As a result, Chihiro went back to the Storehouse in order to rescue the remaining prisoners.

Recap of Chapter 42: Kagurabachi

In the chapter entitled “Everything Begins,”Tafuku questions Hiyuki about her ability to eliminate Chihiro Rokuhira during their mission. The Flame-bone user explains that it is necessary in order to obtain the blades from him.

Tafuku is certain that Chihiro will never turn his blade against Hiyuki, leading him to question if the sorcerer is capable of eliminating someone with such unwavering determination. Hiyuki expresses regret for not killing Chihiro sooner, but promises Tafuku that she will not hesitate to do so in the future.

The Kamunabi sorcerers in the auction room watch as Kyora’s group slowly dwindles. They can’t help but wonder how the sorcerer is able to wield Shinuchi in his current dire state.

After witnessing the horrors of the Seitei war, one of the sorcerers reveals that what they saw of Shinuchi is just a glimpse of its true power. In an instant, Kyora’s preview and the giant screen vanish from the stage.

Chihiro becomes aware in the Storehouse that the subspace is collapsing at an alarming rate. Despite his efforts, Kyora struggles to resist the control of Shinuchi, the original swordsman.

Hiyuki advises Chihiro to take action and eliminate Kyora before it’s too late. Together, they rush towards Kyora, only to suddenly find themselves in the auction room alongside the sorcerer.

After that, Kyora Sazanami is seen showcasing Shinuchi’s abilities by creating a garden of deadly flowers that consume numerous onlookers. Shiba comes back to assist Hakuri and watches the event unfold. Hiyuki also joins them and proposes that they should take down the leader of the Sazanami clan.

Despite Hakuri’s concerns about the impact of Shinuchi’s corrosion on the Storehouse’s space, he believes it would be unwise to end Kyora’s life. The sorcerer speculates that doing so could potentially result in the subspace disintegrating and causing harm to the prisoners within.

Therefore, the sole solution is for an individual to enter and infuse Spirit Energy into each prisoner, allowing Hakuri to revive them. However, the sorcerer is hesitant as Kyora may only be able to endure for a brief moment before succumbing to the perilous task.

Nonetheless, Chihiro is determined to prevent any innocent lives from being claimed by the Enchanted Blade. Hakuri, having heard Chihiro’s determination, decides to send him on this mission. The chapter concludes with the Enten-user bravely diving to rescue Mr. Inazuma’s elder sister from a fatal fall.

What to expect in Kagurabachi chapter 43? (Speculative)

The most recent chapter has set the narrative up perfectly for Kagurabachi chapter 43. With Kyora struggling to maintain the Storehouse for even a brief moment, Chihiro must quickly infuse his Spirit Energy into each prisoner.

It is expected that in chapter 43 of Kagurabachi, Chihiro Rokuhira will showcase the use of Nishiki in order to give himself the necessary physical enhancement to complete his mission. Meanwhile, Kyora Sazanami’s actions are now being controlled by someone else.

There is a chance that in chapter 43 of Kagurabachi, we will see him being controlled by either the Shinuchi’s powers or the original sword saint. Regardless, readers can expect plenty of action in this upcoming chapter.
