Kagurabachi chapter 84 recap

Chihiro resumes the assault against Samura (Image via Shueisha)

The previous chapter kicked off with Samura refusing to believe that Chihiro could break the Shinuchi. He called it a pure fantasy, considering he couldn't even nick his Tobimune blade. Yet, it was the only beginning for Chihiro, who wanted to become a master blacksmith like his father

On the other hand, Samura didn't want to let Chihiro carry the burdens of the past. However, Chihiro reminded him that he was the son of Chihiro Rokuhira. As such, he was bound to carry the responsibilities. Following that, the chapter showcased Chihiro's battle against Samiura.

The blind swordsman realized that Chihiro's strength had also increased, along with his agility. However, Chihiro still struggled to land a nick on the Tobimune, despite his boosted power. He looked at his hands, which were drenched in blood. Samura told him to give it up and once again called his intentions fantasies.

Meanwhile, Chihiro surmised that he couldn't change Samura's perception of him unless he could leave a dent on the Tobimune blade. At that moment, Rou and the other Masumi members appeared on the battlefield. They emerged from the space where they were hiding their presence.

The Masumi were Samura's natural enemies, who relied on his senses. As Rou and others held off Samura, Chihiro Rokuhira performed Suzaku, which he had absorbed using his Aka ability. Samura thought that Chihiro was going to heal his injured hands.

However, the Enten user did something he couldn't anticipate. Chihiro Rokuhira used the Suzaku flames to increase the firepower of his Iai White Purity Style. The moment Samura realized his intentions, Chihiro swooped behind him and performed a devastating attack. The chapter ended with Chihiro leaving Samura's Tobimune blade with a prominent scar.

Kagurabachi chapter 85 will likely show Samura's reactions, as Chihiro Rokuhira has nicked his katana.

Although it hasn't been broken completely, it might still be enough to change Samura's perceptions of Chihiro. On the other hand, the blind swordsman may still heal the blade with Suzaku flames and go for a counterattack.
