The last Kagurabachi chapter, ‘Contest,’ began with a flashback from nine years ago, revealing Iori’s sealed memories. Seiichi Samura rushed to his ex-wife Inori’s home after learning she had collapsed, but Iori does not recognize him. At the hospital, Inori asked Samura to care for Iori, though he was reluctant.

Iori resented him but bonded through kendo training and cooking contests. Inori later died from an incurable disease, leaving Iori devastated. Yura then visited Samura, speaking of the Enchanted Blade wielders’ sins and an impending disaster.

Kagurabachi Chapter 72 will likely shift back to the present, focusing on Iori as she processes her recovered memories. There is a possibility that she had met Chihiro in the past, but the seal on her memories prevented recognition.

If the seal also influenced others, Chihiro may have been unaware of her as well. The chapter may also address Hiruhiko’s fate, determining whether he survived Chihiro’s attack and whether the battle has truly ended.
