The previous chapter of Kagurabachi commenced with Chihiro taking on the mysterious sorcerer to save Char. Using his enchanted blade, the protagonist severed the sorcery binding to free the little girl. Just then, Shiba arrived and took Char to a safe location using his teleportation powers.

The chapter also explained how sorcery works in Kagurabachi. Apparently, anyone can awaken sorcery powers by tapping into the spirit energy that lies dormant within them. Moreover, it was also revealed that an enchanted blade can amplify one's spiritual energy to a massive degree, allowing the wielder to receive extraordinary powers.

The previous chapter further mentioned how Char's mother died protecting her in the past. However, the fascinating moment of the chapter was when Chihiro demonstrated the wide range of abilities of his enchanted Katana to overwhelm his opponent.

He skillfully countered the explosive threats of the mysterious sorcerer and eventually landed a fatal hit using his new ability called Red. Following his victory, Chihiro assured Char he would protect her since they shared a common interest.

The chapter ended with the protagonist confronting the vanquished sorcerer and asking him who his boss was and what business he had with Char. He further enquired about the enchanted blade Cloud Gouger's location.
