The chapter begins with Sumi handing over Chihiro his sword's sheath as he prepares to combat Kuguri. Meanwhile, the Hishaku sorcerer is torn between following his mission and satisfying his desire for a challenging swordfight. Eventually, he decides to follow his passion and confront Rokuhira.

On the other hand, a flashback reveals a conversation between Chihiro and Rou. The former thinks the biggest problem they have right now is his own weakness. Chihiro confesses that he has been overwhelming his enemies with the Enten's power.

However, he lacks the essential skills of a swordsman because he never learned it from anyone. That's why, he wants to hone his swordsmanship to stand at the highest caliber of an Enchanted Blade user. Since he can't use Enten given his restrictions, Chihiro strives to become a Samurai.

Meanwhile, Kuguri notices Chihiro's poor swordsmanship. He further learns how Chihiro wants to evolve as a swordsman in real combat. Kuguri lashes at Chihiro for not taking swordplay seriously and proceeds to focus on his original mission. Chihiro then recalls the battle experience he has gathered for three years.

According to the chapter, Chihiro Rokuhira's experiences in battles have already sharpened his senses and developed his physical endurance. What he lacks is a role model. Just then, he recalls Samura and Uruha's technique. With that, Chihiro achieves a new technique called Iai White Purity Style.

A comment from Uruha in flashback reveals that Iai White Purity Style is a technique that builds up Spirit Energy and contains it in the sword's scabbard. When a user draws the sword, the energy from the scabbard is released explosively. As a result, the user gains extreme speed.

Chihiro uses the technique to blitz toward Kuguri, who is caught by surprise. Suddenly, he recalls how his comrade, Hiruhiko, disregarded his swordplay teachings and called him a bore. On the other hand, he finally gets a taste of a budding potential.

Torn between the pleasure of a swordfight and his duty, Kuguri's mind goes through extreme emotional turbulence. The episode ends with Kuguri seemingly knocked out due to his mental struggle.

Considering how the latest chapter ended, Kagurabachi chapter 65 will likely show Kuguri's status. Although the Hishaku sorcerer is seemingly passed out, his battle instincts may take over and pose a challenge for Chihiro.

Additionally, his partner hasn't yet made a move on anyone. It remains to be seen whether or not Kagurabachi chapter 65 showcases Kuguri's partner in action.
