Kagurabachi chapter 13 recap
Chapter 13, titled Elite, started with Genichi Sojo observing the Kamunabi members, wishing he could face Shiba and Azami to test his blade better. One of the elite members then took charge and created an aerial battle platform made of stones to prevent collateral damage.
The chapter saw several flashback scenes featuring Chihiro Rokuhira, where he informed the squad about the Enchanted Blade, Cloud Gouger's three abilities, i.e., Water, Ice, and Lightning. He also warned them about the move "Charge" and chalked out a foolproof plan to prevent Sojo from using it.
Following Chihiro's suggestion, the Kamunabi squad members attacked Sojo in succession so he wouldn't have the opportunity to demonstrate the Charge. As an alternative, the mafia boss combined Water and Lightning to create a devastating area-of-effect move.
However, that was exactly what the Kamunabi had anticipated. Since the Lightning had a ten-second cooldown period, the elite squad took Sojo's combo attack head-on and countered using their respective techniques. In other words, they followed Chihiro's advice to outsmart and defeat Sojo.
Besides Sojo vs. Kamunabi, the chapter also saw Chihiro finding Char's actual location from the defeated guard. According to the intel he gathered, the little girl was kept in a lab beneath the hideout. However, several powerful sorcerers guarded the lab.
Chihiro then remembered his father's words about the Enchanted Blades, including how they have the potential to break their theoretical limits based on their users. The chapter ended with a double-spread page featuring Sojo and Chihiro.
What to expect in Kagurabachi chapter 14
Considering how the latest issue ended, Kagurabachi chapter 14 will likely show Sojo fighting back against Kamunabi sorcerers. Towards the end of chapter 13, it was revealed that the Datenseki, or the source material of an Enchanted Blade, has a certain characteristic that allows the blade to transform based on its wielder.
In other words, a user's determination, innate potential, and many other factors can unlock its hidden power. As such, there's a huge possibility that Sojo's Cloud Gouger may transcend its limits and allow its wielder to demonstrate the killer move, Charge and Lightning, without any cooldown.
Kagurabachi chapter 14 may also show Chihiro Rokuhira fighting against several sorcerers in the lab to rescue Char. As a result, the protagonist may also get a power-up.
