Kagurabachi Chapter 35 recap

Chapter 35, Cage, opens with the flashback events from August of the current year, focusing on the 108th Rakuzaichi auction's preparations. Hakuri is entrusted with watching over the well-being of a merchandise woman, who will get shifted to the auction's vault after three weeks.

The boy opens the door and finds the woman leaving her food untouched. The girl with the icy skin, as the chapter has described her, tells Hakuri that food cannot be enjoyed alone. She wants to talk to someone while having her meals. Hakuri hesitantly accepts her request for the sake of Rakuzaichi.

During the lunch hours, Hakuri confides in her the torture and trauma he has to go through daily from his family members, especially his elder brother, Soya Sazanami. The girl realizes the boy is also a reject like her.

Gradually, Hakuri becomes closer to the girl with the icy skin. Then on the final day, he unlocks her cage, proposing they have the meal outside. After returning with food, Hakuri notices to his horror the girl holding a knife to her throat.

The ice girl reveals that she intended to die from the start because she feels there's no hope even outside. She slits her throat in front of Hakuri, which sends the boy into a trauma.

Following that, the chapter returns to the present. Soya Sazanami demonstrates his Isou to corner Hakuri. Battered and bruised, the boy lies on the ground. Thoughts about the ice girl swirl in his brain, and he realizes that he's the one who killed her.

The chapter ends with a plier from the past, with which Soya used to torture his brother, hitting him on the back. Hakuri lays on the ground, with Spirit Energy flickering from his left eye.

What to expect in Kagurabachi Chapter 36? (speculative)

Given how the latest chapter ended, Kagurabachi Chapter 36 will likely showcase Hakuri awakening his actual potential and demonstrating a new power. It was revealed that Soya often lost the tools he used to torture Hakuri.

Since the pliers from the flashback hit Soya on the back, it's possible that Hakuri has had a dormant sub-space, unknown to him. While this is only a speculation at this point, the young sorcerer may learn to control a subspace, similar to his father, Kyora Sazanami.

However, it will be interesting to see how he can utilize it in a one-on-one battle. Aside from this, Kagurabachi Chapter 36 could also shift the focus back to Chihiro and Shiba's battle against Tenri.
