According to the spoilers for Kagurabachi chapter 68, the chapter is titled Transformation. The alleged spoilers open with Chihiro Rokuhira discovering that Hiruhiko instigated the mob attacks on the room where he and Iori were present. Hiruhiko then reveals how he gathered information from Yojiro's brain. He speculates the wild guests might be heading upstairs soon.

Following that, Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers show Hiruhiko introducing himself to Samura's daughter. He identifies Iori as Samura's weakness and thanks her for being born.

After that, Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers showcase Chihiro Rokuhira's battle against Hiruhiko. The Hishaku sorcerer hurls Yojiro's severed head at Chihiro, slicing it to obstruct his vision. He attempts a slash, but Chihiro blocks it. As soon as Iori witnesses the horrifying scene, she begins to cry.

Meanwhile, Hiruhiko feels how problematic Chihiro has been for the Hishaku since they have to clean up Samura's mess. At the same time, he calls Samura a fool for being unconsciously drunk on his guilt and allowing it to dictate his actions. That's why, Hiruhiko wants to teach Samura the weight of his actions by taking his daughter.

At this moment, Chihiro Rokuhira recalls how Iori wanted to return to school. Therefore, he vows not to let Hiruhiko act as he pleases. He points out that Iori no longer has anything to do with their conflict. Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers then show Chihiro cutting off the elevator wires, causing them to drop from the 25th floor.

Left behind, Iori starts to panic as soon as the other guests at the hotel arrive on the floor. At this moment, Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers show Rou arriving at the scene. He steps out of the elevator and tells Iori to get in. Moments later, he goes back inside after massacring everyone.

Iori then recalls how the Masumi members were occupied with a business on the roof. Rou states their job is complete, and now Iori can return to being a normal schoolgirl. However, Iori wonders how she can do that.

Although she doesn't understand the mechanics of the seal, Iori is anxious about the Hishaku members who have seen her face. In fact, one of them even killed a teacher at her school. That's why she wonders how she can go back to school. Rou then explains to Iori that everyone will eventually forget about meeting her.

Following that, in Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers, Iori feels guilty about everything that has transpired. She thinks nothing would have happened if her seal hadn't broken. However, Rou reassures her that she's not to blame. Instead, if anyone deserves punishment, it should be the Hishaku. Conversely, Rou notes that it's their (Masumi's) fault that the seal broke in the first place.

Since the Masumi are a group of Shinobi, they have never learned concepts like emotion. When they placed the seal on Iori three years ago, they couldn't understand the bond between a parent and child, so the seal was incomplete.

However, after speaking with Chihiro and Iori, Rou and the other Masumi members have come to grasp an idea about how to seal the very roots of her consciousness. All that remains to seal is the "Key." According to Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers, an enormous barrier envelops the Kyoto Massacre Hotel. These gigantic barriers usually have a lantern hanging as the power source, and the hotel has one on its roof.

Rou intends to work a large-scale sealing on Iori to ensure her memories will never return. Normally, borrowing a power source from a lantern is not permitted. However, the hotel's general manager, Yojiro Sengoku, was kind enough to understand their circumstances and allowed them to borrow it for a while.

Rou thinks the key should be with Yojiro. Following that, Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers shift the focus to the Chihiro vs. Hiruhiko battle. Chihiro realizes Hiruhiko's swordplay is unconventional, as every slash has Genryoku embedded within it. It hardly feels as if the Hishaku sorcerer is using a sword.

At this moment, a hotel staff member arrives on the scene with the key to the lantern. However, he is horrified to see Hiruhiko, whose swordsmanship lacks any form. The chapter briefly delves into a flashback, showcasing how Hiruhiko sliced Yojiro in half with his unconventional swordplay.

The hotel staff member breaks down in tears, recalling how nobody could see through Hiruhiko's swordsmanship. Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers then show Hiruhiko performing his invisible swordplay. However, Chihiro Rokuhira's keen eyes see through Hiruhiko's facade.

He realizes how Hiruhiko constantly switches the sword back and forth in the heat of the moment, causing an opponent to completely lose sight of his sword. Just then, in Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers, Chihiro Rokuhira demonstrates Iai White Purity Style against Hiruhiko. He is amazed to see Chihiro counter even from a perilous situation and deliver a faster strike than he does.

Hiruhiko is delirious to see a special type of bloodlust emanating from Chihiro. Suddenly, Chihiro Rokuhira is consumed by a sense of desperation—he wants to be faster. He wants to hone his Iai style more and stop Samura, who is on his way to kill the Enchanted Blade wielders. That's why he intends to kill Hiruhiko soon, deliver the key to the Masumi, and finalize Iori's return to a normal life.

Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers end with Rou asking Iori whether she has decided to return to school.

Conclusion

Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers were a fascinating ride, showcasing Chihiro Rokuhira and Hiruhiko in action. It was revealed how Hiruhiko's improvised swordsmanship broke the realms of stereotypes.

With ingenuity, he crafted a special type of "Invisible Swordsmanship," capable of baffling a swordsman with 150 years of experience. However, Chihiro's keen eyes could see through Hiruhiko's ruse, enabling him to launch a counterattack.

Besides that, Kagurabachi chapter 68 spoilers once again delved into Iori's consciousness and examined her tension. Even though she has chosen to return to her normal life, there's a hint of hesitancy shown at the end. At the same time, the chapter introduced new lore about a Lantern serving as a power source for barriers.
