Kagurabachi Chapter 73 recap

Expand Tweet

The chapter begins with Samura talking to one of his acquaintances at the dojo about Iori's school. Samura is worried about his daughter's school life. However, the other person assures him that it will be fine. He even mentions how Iori and his son go to the same class.

At the same time, the person tells Samura that Iori will quickly settle in since it's a small town with not many kids around. Following that, a panel shows Samura talking to his late wife's picture about how Iori has started school. Samura mentions how he still worries about her.

Even though she has kept her mother's last name, everyone knows her as Samura's daughter. On the other hand, Iori begins to enjoy her classes at school. She mentions how she learned about Samura in class. As a result, she received everyone's recognition.

Yet, slowly, Samura's apprehensions about Iori's future come true. One day, while returning home from school with Iori, Samura observes heaps of trash lying outside their home. The chapter reveals that the Hishaku's leader, Yura, has spread word about the Sword Saint's original sins. He wanted to unravel the real image of the "heroes."

As a result, many of Samura's neighbors began to perceive him as a "serial killer." Not only Samura but also Iori begins to get bullied at her school for being "Samura's daughter." Yet, she doesn't tell anything to Samura, in case he leaves her. However, Samura eventually learns everything. Fearing for his daughter's future, he sends her to Inori's sister.

After that, the chapter shifts the focus to another flashback memory where Chihiro visits Samura's house with Shiba. During a conversation with Samura, Shiba reveals how he has heard everything about the Malediction and the Prophecy from the Kamunabi sorcerer.

Thus, Samura counts on Shiba to protect Kunishige. Yet, it didn't happen, as a panel later, the chapter shows Samura receiving the news of Kunishige Rokuhira's death.

Considering how the latest issue ended, Kagurabachi Chapter 74 might finally return to the present and show Iori and Samura's dual reactions to their retrieved memories. As a result, it will be interesting if Samura arrives at the Hotel.

This way, the chapter might show the father-daughter reunion. There's another possibility that Kagurabachi Chapter 74 could show how Samura negotiated with the Hishaku.
