Kagurabachi chapter 65 recap

Expand Tweet

The chapter begins with Kuguri going full-throttle against Chihiro Rokuhira. Rou thinks it's good as it gives them the chance to stall. Meanwhile, Chihiro demonstrates the White Purity Style against Kuguri. However, he realizes that he still lacks the speed to build up the energy quickly.

On the other hand, Kuguri feels it's not an ordinary Iai stance. He realizes the technique must be from Uruha and Samura. As such, Kuguri thinks that Chihiro should have used the style from the onset if he had trained with a master. However, Chihiro reminds him that he doesn't have a master.

According to the chapter, Iai White Purity Style is an esoteric technique that requires a special type of movement. It's a legendary sword drawing technique invented by Itsuo Shirakai. Since its inception, only Seiichi Samura and Uruha have attained mastery.

However, Chihiro Rokuhira, who has his father Kunishige's observant eyes, imitated Samura and Uruha's movements to learn the technique on his own. Just then, Rou and other Masumi members use a smokescreen, allowing them and Chihiro to escape with Samura's daughter.

They head to the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel, a luxurious hotel with a special barrier system to hide from the Hishaku. Meanwhile, Kuguri regroups with his partner, Toto, and discusses their failure to capture Samura's daughter. On the other hand, the Masumi members introduce themselves to Iori.

According to the chapter, the Masumi plan to reapply the memory seal on Iori to ensure she leads a life without danger. However, the girl wants to know about Samura and everything associated with that name. Just then, the chapter focuses on Chihiro, who surmises that he would have led a normal life like Iori if he hadn't lived with his father.

However, Chihiro is also glad to have spent those days with Kunishige. That's why, he wants to give Iori a chance to decide her future. He feels they should tell everything to Iori and then let her decide whether she wants to remember or forget them. The chapter ends with Chihiro promising to protect Iori, no matter what her choice is.

Considering how the chapter ended, Kagurabachi chapter 66 might show the Masumi and Chihiro telling everything about Samura to Iori. In addition, the chapter could show Iori reacting to his father's choice.

Besides that, Kagurabachi chapter 66 might show the Hishaku make their move. Although the Masumi and Chihiro have boarded a safe location, the Hishaku's surveillance systems might not allow them to hide for a long time.
