Kagurabachi chapter 76 recap

The chapter begins with a narration regarding the Enchanted Blade's True Realm. According to the narration, every Enchanted Blade has a True Realm beyond its theoretical limitation, and that limit depends on its wielder's potential.

After that, the chapter returns to Chihiro's battle against Hiruhiko. The Enten user uses Nishiki to strengthen his ears as a countermeasure against Kumeyuri's Banquet ability. Hiruhiko realizes that Chihiro has been saving his trump cards for Samura. Thus, he wants to eliminate Samura first, so that Chihiro can battle him with full swing.

Hiruhiko then unleashes the second ability of his Enchanted Blade, called Play. With this move, Hiruhiko can control inanimate objects around him. He uses the ability to maneuver the mobs' corpses against Samura. Meanwhile, Chihiro can't believe that Hiruhiko has become so adept at using an Enchanted Blade within such a short span of time.

However, the sheer desire to eliminate Samura empowers Hiruhiko's abilities. As a result, Chihiro's Nishiki isn't enough to combat the illusory powers of Kumeyuri's Banquet. As the effect reaches the roof, Samura becomes slightly perplexed.

Hiruhiko observes that Samura is a weak person at heart, even though he's a skilled swordsman. Thus, he uses Samura's psychological weaknesses to his advantage to create haunting illusions; the blind swordsman recalls terrifying memories from the past as he deals with the corpses.

Suddenly, a familiar door from the past appears before him as an illusion. Unlike before, Samura finally opens the door and notices his daughter, Iori, in danger. He leaps in front to save his daughter from multiple blades. However, as a result, Samura gets skewered by those blades instead.

Hiruhiko then exalts in joy, as he proclaims himself free from the shackles. But he doesn't yet know that the lethal blows have awakened Samura from his intoxicated state. According to the chapter, Samura used his Tobimune's third ability, called Suzaku (Vermillion Bird), to bathe his wounds in healing fire.

Suddenly, a flurry of crow feathers approaches Hiruhiko, who stands transfixed. The chapter ends with Samura emerging from the black crow feathers to remind Hiruhiko that it's the end for him. Moreover, the final page makes it seem as if Samura's Suzaku has healed his eyes.

What to expect in Kagurabachi chapter 77? (speculative)

Considering how the latest issue ended on a cliffhanger, Kagurabachi chapter 77 will likely show Seiichi Samura showcasing his real strength against Hiruhiko. Since Samura is no longer under the spell of Hiruhiko's Banquet, he might go full throttle against the Hishaku sorcerer.

Moreover, as his eyes are seemingly healed, Kagurabachi chapter 77 may show Samura and Iori's heartfelt reunion. Yet, it remains to be seen whether or not the reunion ends in a tragedy.
