Kagurabachi chapter 20 recap
Kagurabachi chapter 20, titled The Kamunabi's Weapon, kicked off with Hakuri explaining his family background to Chihiro. He revealed that every member of the Sazanami family goes through rigorous training to uphold and protect the Rakuzaichi auction.
Since he lacked the talent as a sorcerer, his family disowned him. Hakuri also revealed that while he was indifferent to the Rakuzaichi auction, later on, he realized the festival's cruel aspects and thus he decided to end it.
After learning about Chihiro's plan to steal the Shinuchi blade (which was the prized feature for the upcoming Rakuzaichi auction), Hakuri felt that this act could end the auction.
At that moment, Chihiro received a phone call from Shiba, who informed him about the Kamunabi members pursuing him. Following that, the elevator door opened and Chihiro faced Hiyuki from Kamunabi.
With the help of another Kamunabi sorcerer, Rikuo, Hiyuki equipped the Flame Bone of the Starving.
She ordered Rokuhira to hand over his Enchanted Blade, but the latter didn't listen. This led Hiyuki to charge at Chihiro, who didn't want to hurt the Kamunabis. However, the Flame Bone user turned a deaf ear to Chihiro's words.
While engaged in battle, Hiyuki reminded Chihiro of Kazane's group's fate and mentioned that holding the Enchanted Blades would only bring further misfortune. According to her, those blades should only be controlled by the Kamunabi because they think about the welfare of the nation.
Hearing Hiyuki's words momentarily caught Chihiro off-guard and he remembered Sojo's face. At that moment, Hakuri intervened and took a direct blow of the Flame Bone user's punch.
Lying on the ground, the sorcerer shouted at Chihiro saying that while he had no idea who should be the perfect candidate to hold the Enchanted Blade, he knew perfectly that it was Chihiro who saved him.
What to expect in Kagurabachi chapter 21
Kagurabachi chapter 21 will likely continue with Chihiro vs Hiyuki. With Hakuri reminding Chihiro of his actual purpose, the Enten user will most likely battle Hiyuki with his full strength.
While this is only a speculation at this point, there's a possibility that Hiyuki might side with Chihiro. If she doesn't, then it may become trouble for Chihiro, with him being under the constant radar of the Kamunabi.
