The title of Kagurabachi chapter 52 has been revealed as “Just the Two of Us.”The chapter kicks off with a flashback where Chihiro converses with Hiyuki, sharing what they know about Hishaku – that they have taken form four years ago.

After defeating Kunishige Rokuhira, the wielder of the Cloud Gouger, and seizing the Enchanted Blades, the Hishaku vanished into obscurity. Even with all their ingenuity, the Kamunabi struggled to track their movements, leaving Hiyuki concerned that they were at a disadvantage.

The narrative returns to Chihiro, who activates Nishiki against Hirohiko. As shown in the Kagurabachi chapter 52 spoilers, Chihiro Rokuhira vows to strip away the Hishaku’s freedom and uncover their schemes, members, and motivations.

Hirohiko, meanwhile, is excited to see Chihiro fighting at full strength. He perceives an uncanny similarity between them, revealing that he learned the art of murder at the tender age of three, in contrast to his peers who were not like him. Until Chihiro’s arrival, he had not encountered anyone worthy of being called his equal.

Nonetheless, Hirohiko expresses a desire for camaraderie with Chihiro, a notion that prompts anger in the Enten user, who firmly rejects being associated with the sorcerer’s vile actions.

Hirohiko then instructs the assassins to proceed with their orders, scattering his origami papers and vanishing from the scene. Utilizing this diversion, the Anti-Enten special force launches an assault on Rokuhira with lethal intent.

Meanwhile, Hirohiko enters a theater, where the announcer signals the start of the Battle of Sanoshima stage play. He contemplates leaving the Uruha and the inhabitants of the Senkutsuji temple to the assassins, choosing instead to enjoy the performance and engage in discourse about the play with a spectator nearby.

In a parallel occurrence, Chihiro unleashes the might of his Enten Enchanted Blade against the onslaught from Datenseki users. Hirohiko is well aware of the powers granted by a Datenseki stone but understands that timing is crucial for effective utilization.

Chihiro speculates whether Hirohiko is manipulating the origami papers to orchestrate a diversion. However, given the aggressive aura surrounding the Anti-Enten squad, he doubts the likelihood of this being true.

The spoilers from Kagurabachi chapter 52 then present an astonishing moment where the play’s announcer introduces the villain. To everyone’s horror, Chihiro Rokuhira crashes onto the stage, accompanied by the corpses of several assassins, prompting a mass panic as the audience flees the venue.

Amidst the chaos, Hirohiko discerns that a significant flaw of Datenseki is their single-use nature. In contrast, an Enchanted Blade gains strength over time, indicating that a one-time stone cannot fully grasp its potential.

Thus, Hirohiko remains composed at the sight of the unharmed Chihiro, recognizing that defeating someone with three years of Enchanted Blade experience won’t be straightforward. Nevertheless, he believes he has seized the advantage.

As more audience members flee in panic, Hirohiko asserts that he is not perceived as a “human”by regular people. Chihiro retorts that it is Hirohiko who has transformed him into such. The chapter concludes with Hirohiko claiming that only he can truly understand Chihiro, a sentiment that the Enten-user dismisses outright.
