Kagurabachi chapter 48 spoilers: Chihiro faces a new threat from Hishaku as Uruha's life is in danger

Kagurabachi chapter 48 spoilers were expected to show Chihiro Rokuhira and Hakuri guiding Yoji Uruha to a safe location, but the alleged leaked spoilers released on Thursday, September 5, 2024, revealed a slight twist, with the Enten-user facing a Hishaku member at the train.

The previous chapter revealed Yoji Uruha's connection with Kunishige, who entrusted the sorcerer with the Enchanted Blade, Kumeyuri, to fight in the Seitei war. After escaping from the Kokugoku Sanzo, Yoji met Hakuri and Chihiro, who assured him of his safety.

Kagurabachi chapter 48 spoilers begin with Chihiro telling Uruha and Hakuri that the other passengers on the train have been moved to the other segment as they head to the Senkutsuji, where another contractor of an Enchanted Blade is held. Uruha and Chihiro share a heartfelt conversation about Kunishige Rokuhira, and the sorcerer even pats Chihiro's Enten, almost treating it like a child.

Uruha feels Chihiro is not only Kunishige's son but the spitting image of the blacksmith. As such, it feels like a reunion for him after 18 years. Moreover, he is glad that Kunishige wasn't alone for those 15 years when he went into hiding. Following that, Kagurabachi chapter 48 spoilers show Chihiro and Uruha discussing the weapons used by Hishaku's assassins at the Kokugoku.

The Enten-user tells Uruha that he must have seen Genichi Sojo's creations, which are made using Datenseki, the same material used in Enchanted Blades. Chihiro informs Uruha that a user gains exponential powers akin to Enchanted Blades in exchange for their lives when they use the Datenseki.

While Chihiro has only seen it once in action, he can't believe Hishaku has been mass-producing them. Even if it grants a user temporary powers, it's enough to destroy a Sanzo. Kagurabachi chapter 48 spoilers then switch the perspective to Uruha, who recalls seeing a Hishaku member at Kokugoku.

He speculates that the Hishaku member must have taken the lead of those hired assassins. Chihiro thinks it's only fair because Hishaku doesn't want to take the risk of using the Datenseki themselves. Rather, they can hire infinite assassins and deploy them equipped with Enchanted Blade-like powers to raid every Sanzo.

Meanwhile, Uruha is confident about the Kamunabi elite guards at the Kokugoku Sanzo, who vowed to trade their lives for his. Although they may lack agility and strength compared to the Datenseki-powered assassins, the elite squad has experience and impeccable coordination skills.

Following that, Kagurabachi chapter 48 spoilers switch to the Kokugoku onsen Sanzo, where the Kamunabi elite squad showcases their brilliant combat strategy to defeat the first wave of the assassins.

Soon after, they receive a message that Uruha has found the new guards and is headed for the Temple of Senkutsu. One of the Kamunabi sorcerers wants to get ahead of Uruha and give him a cheery welcome. On the other side, the train stops. Chihiro and Hakuri realize that something is off, with the station being eerily empty.

Kagurabachi chapter 48 spoilers then shift the focus to a mysterious sorcerer, who is seen near a vending machine at the station. They commend their partner for his efforts and are glad that Yura (possibly the Hishaku's leader's name) has given them the green signal to move into action.

The three years of preparations have bored the sorcerer, so they want to begin the "main story." Their partner addresses the sorcerer as Hiruhiko and informs them that Uruha's guardian is an Enchanted Blade user. Hiruhiko feels nothing will happen if they just eliminate Uruha and don't battle the Enten user.

Kagurabachi chapter 48 spoilers then show Hiruhiko getting on the train after killing the Kamunabi elite members, including the sorcerer who was close to Uruha. The corpses of the Kamunabi members are displayed on one of the station's benches.

Hiruhiko walks into the first carriage, where Chihiro Rokuhira waits for them, with Enten activated; Uruha and Hakuri are seen in another carriage. Kagurabachi chapter 48 spoilers end with Chihiro preparing to face off against the Hishaku sorcerer.
