Expected plot in Kagurabachi Chapter 52

Kagurabachi Chapter 52 will likely see the battle at Senkutsuji Temple escalate as more of the Hishaku’s assassins challenge Samura. Given Samura’s demonstrated skill in combat, the chapter may introduce a formidable opponent, possibly the other Hishaku sorcerer who was seen earlier with Hirohiko.

This new enemy could attempt to ambush Samura, providing a tougher challenge for the blind swordsman and testing his mastery with the blade. On the other hand, the focus may instead return to Chihiro’s ongoing battle against Hirohiko and the Datenseki users in Kagurabachi Chapter 52, as it has been a couple of chapters since his fight was depicted.

Kagurabachi Chapter 51 recap

Kagurabachi Chapter 51, titled Samura, opens with a flashback where Chihiro visits Samura’s home with Shiba. Samura, who blinded himself to sharpen his judgment and combat skills, had acted as a mentor, teaching Chihiro how to wield a sword without hesitation.

In the present, Hishaku’s assassins launch an aggressive attack on Senkutsuji Temple, overwhelming the monks defending it. Samura steps in, swiftly cutting down the enemies despite his blindness. Hakuri wonders if Samura relies on smell to fight.

It is then revealed that Samura uses sound and echolocation for combat. His fighting technique involves lightning-fast strikes based on the reverberations of his sword’s movements, allowing him to determine his enemies’ positions.

Uruha, also trained by Samura, recognizes the immense skill his master possesses, thinking that none would have died at Kokugoku Sanzo had Samura been present. Kagurabachi Chapter 51 concludes by revealing that Samura was the contracted wielder of the Enchanted Blade Tobimune.
