Kagurabachireleased another incredible chapter that focused on Chihiro’s rescue of Char, who had been taken hostage by Sojo’s group. Previously, Shiba and Chihiro had invaded Sojo’s den, where they questioned a guard about Char’s location. The guard only told them about a shack that led to an underground storage room. to finish things quickly, Shiba and Chihiro decided to split up.
Before parting ways, Shiba remindedthe young hero thathe was in no condition to fight, so he should avoid engaging any sorcerers. As Chihiro started to poke around, he found an entrance that was guarded by several enemies. While he was still figuring out the best way to deal with the problem, a sorcerer appeared out of nowhere and attacked him. The noise made Shiba wonder if the enemy had already found Chihiro. It is quite clear that Chapter 15 is going to delve more into the fight between Chihiro and the sorcerers.
Chihiro Gets Pushed To The Edge
In the previous chapter, fans saw Chihiro being wounded yet again, which forced him to retreat. He took this time to think about his father, who had always been a positive figure in his life. Once again, the author showed his skill when it came to handling a dead parent. Instead of just using Kunishige Rokuhira to induce trauma,the mangaka usedhis memories to help Chihiro learn and evolve. While Chihiro was thinking about a plan, Char was being taken away by the doctors, who wanted to conduct more experiments on her. They also told her that there was no hope for her, which crushed the spirit of the young girl.
After ruminating for a while, Chihiro found the courage to face his enemies. His father played a crucial role in helping him understand the power of the enchanted sword. As Chihiro came back, the entire room was filled with goldfish. It was then revealed that he was using a new technique called Kuro Shred. From the looks of it, all the sorcerers in the room are in deep, deep trouble. Chihiro looks way more reassured, and it seems that he will definitely take down the enemies.The next chapter willbe extremely important for Chihiro. If Kuro Shred ends up being a lethal move, then it could prove to be extremely beneficial to the protagonist in his future fights.
Sojo’s Flashback Gives Fans A Better Idea of How He Joined the Underworld
Although there was almost no mention of Sojo in the previous chapter, there is a strong chance that he will be featured in the next one. He was last seen fighting the Kamunabi, who had managed to corner him. InKagurabachiChapter 15, fans might get an opportunity to see Sojo’s flashback. He has already cemented his reputation as one of the standout characters, but there are still many aspects of his life that remain unknown. His flashback will give fans a better idea of his true nature and how he joined the underworld. It might even reveal some of the other powers that Sojo possesses.
Depending on the author’s plans, it is possible that Sojo may either survive the onslaught or the Kamunabi will capture him. If he does make it out alive, there is a chance that it will be with the help of a new power. Sojo coulduse some kind of sorcery totake down the Kamunabi. Chihiro managed to figure out how to use his blade in a better fashion, so there is a possibility of Sojo doing the same. Many fans have speculated that he might be Chihiro’s long-term rival, so he could definitely achieve the same things as him.
Char’s Daring Rescue Attempt
Char is in bad condition, and if Chihiro doesn’t hurry, then she will be subjected to more gruesome experiments. Once he has taken care of the enemies in the room, Chihiro might not be in any condition to move, so the responsibility for Char’s rescue might fall on the shoulders of Shiba. There is no denying that Shiba is a talented sorcerer, and he has what it takes torescue the young girl. But the last time fans saw Shiba, he was being confronted by two scary-looking sorcerers. So, he has to defeat them first. Shiba did admit that he was in a conundrum about whether to fight the opponents or go back to Chihiro.
InKagurabachiChapter 15, there is a strong possibility that Shiba will head to Chihiro’s location and find the hero completely exhausted. So, he will not have to save Char, but Chihiro as well. Clearly, a lot is riding on Shiba, and whether he can reach Chihiro on time will make all the difference.
KagurabachiChapter 15 will be released on July 06, 2025. Fans can read the official translation on Viz Media.
