Kagurabachi chapter 72 recap
Picking up the events from the previous issue, the chapter kicks off with Yura telling Samura that he has come to thank a great hero. After that, he describes the Seitei War's events with clarity. As the general story goes, several barbaric individuals from a small island invaded Japan.
Citizens of that island were unique as their bodies grew accustomed to the destructive nature of the Datenseki. Eventually, their invasions turned into a war. However, the complexion of the war changed with the introduction of the Enchanted Blade wielders.
Led by the Sword Saint, the "heroes" suppressed the invaders. However, there's more to the story than what is officially told. The Royal Family, who led the invasion, decided to sign a peace treaty. However, the peace lasted momentarily until the Sword Saint decided to annihilate everyone.
He awakened the true realm of the Shinuchi Enchanted Blade to bring calamity to the island. About 200,000 lives were lost as a result of the Sword Saint's carnage. Even though the Sword Saint is locked away, Yura says the same calamity will repeat in Japan in the near future. Thus, he wants Samura to do something.
Fearful about the future, Samura goes to the Kamunabi headquarters and tells one of the higher-ups about Yura's prophecy. The Kamunabi higher-up assures Samura that everything will be fine since they have kept the Sword Saint under tight security. Moreover, the organization has separated the Shinuchi blade from the Sword Saint.
During their conversation, it's revealed that killing the Sword Saint would be akin to committing a suicide. According to the chapter, Kunishige Rokuhira developed the Eternal Contract's structure in a complex manner. Since it was difficult to create multiple such contracts, he used the Shinuchi's contract as the parent figure, and linked the other contracts to it.
That's why, if someone were to kill the Sword Saint, the other Enchanted Blade contractors would die in a few days. The Kamunabi sorcerer tells Samura to rest easy and leave everything to the Kamunabi. After that, the narrative shifts to the dojo, where Iori defeats her sparring partner. The chapter ends with Iori promising to become stronger so that she can protect her father.
What to expect in Kagurabachi chapter 73?
Considering how the latest chapter ended, Kagurabachi chapter 73 will likely return to the present and show Iori's reaction to her memories. Besides that, the chapter could drop more information on the Sword Saint. In addition, the chapter might also switch to Samura.
Since Iori's memories are now unsealed, they will flood Samura's consciousness. Therefore, Kagurabachi chapter 73 could show Samura's reactions to remembering the past shared with his daughter.
