Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers: A major character's life in question as Hiruhiko becomes Chihiro's equal

Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers, released on Thursday, November 7, 2024, were expected to show Samura demonstrate his Tobimune blade to eradicate the Hishaku reinforcements. However, the alleged leaked spoilers revealed a shocking twist to the narrative, with an implication of a major character's death.

The previous chapter explained the Makizumi's relationship with Samura and their role in the narrative. On the other hand, the chapter saw Uruha create a chance for the Makizumi to let Samura and him escape from the battlefield.

Besides that, the chapter witnessed Hakuri Sazanami risking his life to retrieve the Tobimune Enchanted Blade for Samura, which the blind swordsman used to decimate many Hishaku assassins.

Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers begin with a scene at the theatre, where Hiruhiko agonizingly realizes that the Tobimune blade is no longer under his control. Meanwhile, the monks and others at the Senkutsuji temple marvel at Tobimune's powers, as Samura expertly obliterates many Hishaku assassins.

Meanwhile, the Makizumi's captain apologizes to Samura since he has to save them. Samura says it's all thanks to Hakuri, who retrieved the blade for him. Even though he has spent too much of his energy, Hakuri wants to retrieve Uruha's blade as well.

However, the Makizumi girl advises the boy not to push himself since he has already lost a lot of blood. She also feels that the Hishaku's forces must have been exhausted, so there's no need to worry. The Makizumi girl plans to head to the next Sanzo, where she will treat everyone's wounds.

Following that, Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers show the Makizumi asking Samura about his comment earlier on him firing everyone. After a light banter, Samura says he's glad that everyone is fine.

Yet, he regrets the demise of Fuura Ryou, one of the Makizumi members. The Makizumi girl reminds Samura that Fuura's death wasn't in vain, as he successfully did his duty of protecting him. Meanwhile, Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers switch to the theatre, where Hiruhiko laments at failing to retrieve Tobimune.

Yet, he quickly recollects himself. Hiruhiko knows that even though the route has changed, the future hasn't altered so much. Yura still wants to kill the Sword Saint to wield the Shinuchi. However, Chihiro tells Hiruhiko that none of the contractors will die. Suddenly, Hiruhiko recalls Yura's words on Chihiro, who called him "too green to cut."

Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers then show Hiruhiko asking Chihiro about what teachers at school teach students about the Enchanted Blades and their Wielders. According to them, the contracted sword bearers are equal to Kunishige as heroes.

Chihiro knows it as well since he learned the same thing from the books. Yet, Hiruhuko feels Chihiro knows barely the surface of the truth. He asks him about the Shinuchi's powers he witnessed at the Rakuzaichi auction. Chihiro tells him that when he saw the power, he started to have doubts about the heroes who saved the country.

He wondered whether wielding such blades truly meant "saving" people. Chihiro Rokuhira also realized that he fought a different entity when Kyora acquired the Shinuchi blade. As if, the sword's powers were awakened by the Sword Saint, not Kyora. Hiruhiko's words create doubt in Chihiro's mind.

He wonders whether the sword saint is not a hero meant to be protected. At any rate, he can't think much about it. At that moment in Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers, Hiruhiko drops a huge truth on Chihiro's face. He says that Samura made an agreement with Yura, the Hishaku's leader, three years ago.

Samura felt the contracted sword bearers were the ones who should die. Chihiro can't fathom Hiruhiko's words, who doesn't elaborate on them. Just then, Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers show a blade falling from the sky. As Chihiro looks over, Hiruhiko uses that opportunity to grab his sliced arm with his mouth and throw it at Chihiro.

Suddenly, something pierces through the theatre's window. Chihiro Rokuhira wonders whether it's the reinforcements. However, he quickly realizes that it's Hiruhiko, who has acquired the Kumeyuri blade. Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers end with two Geisha figures spawning from the blade, which Hiruhiko wields using his mouth.

Conclusion

Kagurabachi chapter 57 spoilers have dropped a fascinating twist to the narrative, ending the chapter with a cliffhanger. The chapter's ending implies that Uruha has died since Hiruhiko is able to wield the Kumeyuri blade.

Moreover, his sorcery powers are gone, which is one of the prerequisites to imprint one's name on an Enchanted Blade. Besides that, the spoilers revealed Samura as the traitor, who made a pact with the Hishaku's leader, Yura.
