Kagurabachi chapter 27 recap
Chapter 27, Mr. Inazuma, begins with Kyora Sazanami finishing the auction's preparations and wondering why Chihiro Rokuhira hasn't made a move yet, even though it's been five days since the Enten was enlisted.
Elsewhere, an unnamed person with a mustache and round glasses speaks to Shiba. He reveals how people from the underworld gather at the auction, but only three are permitted to go inside the auction hall below.
The rest stay outside and patrol the area. Similarly, the Sazanami members are responsible for underground security. The man then points to a leaflet featuring Chihiro Rokuhira's profile and the bounty reward of 50 million yen for anyone who can bring his corpse.
The enigmatic man then reveals how the entire city sleeps during the Rakuzaichi auction, turning a blind eye to the corruption. As such, there's not much for the security to do outside the building.
At that moment, the chapter introduces Yuu Inazuma, a little boy who intrudes inside the Rakuzaichi building to search for his sister. It is revealed that his sister has been put up as "merchandise" at the auction.
As the guards apprehend him, he picks out a pocket knife and plunges it inside a guard's hand. Interestingly, Chihiro Rokuhira arrives at the building with his arms intact. Shiba realizes that Chihiro made his move earlier, probably due to the commotion below.
Deceiving the man with the round glasses, Shiba goes to Chihiro's aid. Meanwhile, Yuu Inazuma remembers how his sister once told him that the Lightning only strikes "bad" people, not the good kids.
Even with teary eyes, he musters the courage to fight back. At that moment, Chihiro Rokuhira appears. In a flash, he cuts the guard's hand and frees Yuu. Suddenly, the chandelier from the ceiling drops, causing a complete blackout.
However, the guards tell one another not to be afraid of Chihiro because he doesn't have an Enchanted Blade. The chapter then moves to a flashback featuring Chihiro and Shiba.
The former told his mentor he would take care of the riffraff because he had decided to shoulder the responsibility.
Kagurabachi chapter 27 returns to the present and shows Chihiro unsheathing Kuregumo. He chants Mei as sparks of lightning appear. The chapter ends with the clock ticking twelve and Kyora Sazanami commencing the Rakuzaichi auction.
What to expect in Kagurabachi chapter 28
Given how the latest chapter ended on an enticing cliffhanger, Kagurabachi chapter 28 will likely show how Chihiro managed to fix Kuregumo (Cloud Gouger) blade, which had been broken during his fight against Genichi Sojo.
Moreover, it was established that an Enchanted Blade could only be used if its original owner died. Considering Chihiro was able to demonstrate Kuregumo's powers, that would mean Sojo has truly died.
Besides showing how Chihiro contracted the ownership of Kuregumo, Kagurabachi chapter 28 may also reveal how or whether he healed his hands. There's a possibility that his right hand is made of prosthetics. However, it will only be confirmed in future chapters.
Whether the upcoming chapter moves straight to the auction remains to be seen. As such, fans can also expect to see new characters in chapter 28.
