Kagurabachi chapter 16 recap
Chapter 16 starts with Chihiro returning from Sojo's base with Char after rescuing the little girl from the research lab. However, he was panting and grimacing with every step, and given Nishiki's power, it put a huge stress on his body.
Following that, Char noticed Chihiro's wounded left hand and asked him to give her his hand. The little girl then focused on the protagonist's hands with extreme concentration.
A flashback featuring Char's mother revealed that the Kyonagi Clan's special regenerative powers lie in their thoughts and emotions. If one were to think that their pain was gone, it would become a reality.
As such, Char demonstrated her emotive powers to heal Chihiro's pain. A few panels later, Shiba returned to Sojo's base, following his off-screening against the Mafia Boss' guards. He, Chihiro, and Char, all three, then sensed something was wrong.
As such, the dark-haired protagonist asked Shiba to take care of Char while he unsheathed his Enchanted Blade, Enten, to face off against a familiar opponent. Following this, the chapter returned to Sojo's battle against Kamunabi and saw him unlocking the true realm of Cloud Gouger.
Instead of charging Mei, he cloaked himself with lightning and obliterated every Kamunabi elite Squad member. With renewed strength, the Mafia Boss returned to his base to face off against Chihiro Rokuhira.
He realized Kunishige's son had also deepened his understanding of the Enchanted Blade. While he had a lot to talk to him about, Sojo felt that words weren't the need of the hour. The chapter ended with Sojo versus Chihiro's rematch commencing.
What to expect in Kagurabachi chapter 17
Given how the latest installment ended, Kagurabachi chapter 17 will showcase the rematch between Genichi Sojo and Chihiro Rokuhira. Both have surpassed the theoretical limits of their Enchanted Blades by deepening their bonds with the blade.
However, there's no doubt that both Sojo and Chihiro are exhausted from their previous battles. As such, it's unlikely for their battle to reach a proper conclusion in Kagurabachi chapter 17.
Furthermore, there's a popular theory in the fandom that Sojo might become a recurring villain in the series. If Takeru Hokazono does follow this line of thought, then he wouldn't kill off Genichi Sojo just yet.
As such, there's a possibility of a third party interrupting the battle and rescuing the Mafia Boss. While this is only a speculation at this point, Kagurabachi chapter 17 may introduce a Hishaku group member.
