Kagurabachi Chapter 43 recap

Kagurabachi Chapter 43, titled Fulfill, begins with Chihiro Rokuhira preparing to imbue each prisoner inside Kyora Sazanami's collapsing Storehouse with his Spirit Energy. This enables Hakuri to transfer them to safety. Meanwhile, Shiba and Hiyuki are anxious about Chihiro’s fate.

Hakuri, observing Kyora's condition, realizes that the Storehouse is only being held together by Kyora's willpower. Should Kyora's resolve falter, the Storehouse will collapse, endangering everyone inside. In the auction hall, Shinuchi's deadly flowers create chaos, prompting the Kamunabi sorcerers to consider fleeing for their lives.

 


Kyora, amidst the turmoil, recalls his late wife’s words urging him to end the Rakuzaichi auction in Kagurabachi Chapter 43. She believed the auction had a dehumanizing effect on him and the Sazanami family. He quickly dismisses these thoughts as he remembers his father, banging the gavel on the podium once more.

As Kyora fights to maintain control, Shiba realizes that the sorcerer's obsession with the auction is what is preventing the Shinuchi from taking over completely. Kyora, determined to continue the auction, calls on the audience to eliminate his threats in exchange for money.

Meanwhile, Hakuri is fully concentrated on rescuing the prisoners from the vault, guarded by Hiyuki. Hakuri, remembering the Girl With Icy Skin, refuses to let anyone die under his watch again in Kagurabachi Chapter 43. Through immense effort and determination, Chihiro and Hakuri successfully transfer all the prisoners out of the Storehouse.


Outside, Kyora thinks about his mistakes, realizing that his error was not in upholding tradition, but in not believing in Hakuri. He recalls his battle against Chihiro and acknowledges that he should have trusted his son. As Shinuchi's flowers engulf him, Kyora laments that he was the only one in the Sazanami family unable to fulfill his duty.

Chihiro reappears in the auction hall just as Kyora succumbs to Shinuchi’s flowers. Till the very end, Kyora retains his pride and conviction, dying as the man who lived for the Rakuzaichi auction. Kagurabachi Chapter 43 concludes with the scene of Kyora being consumed by the Shinuchi flowers.
