Kagurabachi Chapter 25 recap

Kagurabachi Chapter 25, Deal, kicks off with Soya Sazanami demonstrating the famous Sazanami family combat technique to fight Shiba. He creates shockwaves and manipulates them to react to Shiba's teleportation technique.

Shiba realizes that Soya is perhaps the strongest Tou member. At the same time, he worries about Chihiro, who has to face three elite guards and Kyora Sazanami back at the mansion. Shiba feels it's better to return there taking Soya and turn the fight into five vs. two.

Meanwhile, at the Sazanami mansion, Chihiro Rokuhira cloaks himself with Nishiki to combat the Tou. One of the Sazanami elite guards asks Kyora for a blade. Chihiro gets surprised as two blades appear out of thin air in the Tou member's hands. He wonders whether it's an ability connected to the vault.

At that moment, Shiba returns to the mansion, with Soya Sazanami using his teleportation magic. After hearing Soya mention Hakuri's name, Kyora Sazanami clearly understands the entire situation.

He realizes that Hakuri has been acting as a mole. The chapter then shows Kyora Sazanami summoning Hakuri out of nowhere, just like he materialized the swords. It is revealed that he can freely take out any item registered in the vault, including his children.

Kyora points his sword at his son's neck and asks Chihiro and Shiba whether he has been their source of information. The protagonist gets disgusted at the Sazanami chief's audacity to hold his own son hostage.

Meanwhile, Shiba feels that Kyora Sazanami will ask for the Enten in exchange. As such, he tries to bluff. However, Chihiro senses that the Sazanami's chief will kill Hakuri if they don't do something. Thus, he agrees to a negotiation.

Kagurabachi Chapter 25 then shows Chihiro trading his Enten blade in exchange for Hakuri's life. After securing the blade at the vault, Kyora Sazanami celebrates and thinks that the upcoming auction will be the greatest in Sazanami's history.

However, the chapter ends with the revelation that Chihiro intentionally traded his Enchanted Blade to Kyora Sazanami. He assures Hakuri and Shiba that everything has gone according to his plan.

Considering how the latest issue ended, Kagurabachi Chapter 26 will likely reveal the reason why Chihiro Rokuhira traded his Enten to Kyora Sazanami. There's a possibility that he may want to track the auction's proceedings with his blade as a tracker.

A panel in the latest issue, featuring the Enten, with water floating out of it perhaps indicates that Chihiro has learned how to remotely use an Enchanted Blade. Besides that, Kagurabachi Chapter 26 may also show Hiyuki's reaction to the newly added merchandise.
