Recap of Kagurabachi Chapter 52

The chapter opens with a flashback where Hiyuki converses with Chihiro, explaining how the Kamunabi have struggled to apprehend the Hishaku due to their secretive agenda. Chihiro expresses his desire to disrupt their plans and unveil the Hishaku’s true objectives.

Returning to the present, Chihiro resumes his struggle against Hirohiko and the Datenseki users. The Enten user covers himself with Nishiki, prepping for battle, while Hirohiko looks on, finding amusement in Chihiro’s newfound seriousness.

The Hishaku sorcerer initiates a dialogue with Chihiro, revealing that they are the same age. He further shares that he learned about killing at the tender age of three, lamenting a lack of like-minded individuals in his life, yet believing that Chihiro’s bloodlust suggests a potential friendship.

Chihiro’s anger rises at Hirohiko’s implications, as he refuses to be equated with the sorcerer’s heinous actions. The chapter then shows Hirohiko utilizing his sorcery skills to create a diversion and escape, orchestrating a fight between Chihiro and the Datenseki users while he enjoys himself at a theater.

Despite his musings on the potential of a Datenseki stone, Hirohiko recognizes that an inexperienced user can’t capitalize on its full power. Consequently, he enlists three of the best rogue assassins to face Chihiro.

Even with their lack of coordination, Hirohiko employs his Origami sorcery to direct their movements, but Chihiro swiftly overpowers them. As the play’s announcer introduces the villain, Chihiro drops onto the stage alongside the defeated Datenseki sorcerers.

The spectacle of blood horrifies the audience, prompting their hasty exit. Hirohiko reflects on underestimating someone with three years of experience wielding an Enchanted Blade, yet he believes he maintains enough weapons for leverage.

Hirohiko later tells Chihiro that he appears as a monster to ordinary people, prompting Chihiro to counter that it’s Hirohiko who has made him this way. The chapter concludes with Hirohiko claiming that only he can truly comprehend Chihiro.

Speculations for Kagurabachi Chapter 53

Kagurabachi chapter 53 will probably delve deeper into Chihiro Rokuhira’s ongoing conflict with Hirohiko. The latter has kicked off his psychological games, attempting to frame Chihiro as a villain.

Hirohiko seems intent on demonstrating that Chihiro cannot claim to be on a righteous path while stained with blood. Fans are left wondering if Hirohiko will successfully undermine Chihiro’s mental state. Alternatively, chapter 53 may pivot to follow Samura’s confrontation with the assassins.
