Kagurabachi Chapter 16 Recap
In Kagurabachi Chapter 16, we witness Chihiro carrying Char on his shoulders, with Char proposing the idea of switching positions. As the story unfolds, we gain insights into the Nishiki technique, and Char offers Chihiro the chance to exchange roles, which he declines. Char inquires about Hinao’s well-being, and Chihiro assures that she is fine.
A flashback reveals Sojo experimenting with the powers of Char’s clan, emphasizing the Kyonagi’s expertise in physical regeneration and the influence of their abilities on cellular structures. Returning to the present, Char tends to Chihiro’s injured hand, unveiling that her clan’s regenerative powers are rooted in her thoughts and emotions. Through intense concentration, Char successfully heals Chihiro’s hand.
Later, as they reunite with Shiba, Chihiro entrusts Char to his care, urging Chihiro not to succumb to death. The narrative then shifts to the confrontation between Sojo and the Kamunabi members. Despite Sojo’s remarkable skills, the Kamunabi outmaneuver him with their teamwork and strategic approaches.
Ikuto, one of the Kamunabi members. Collaborates with a masked companion to retrieve Sojo’s Cloud Gouger blade, executing a well-devised plan. However, Sojo cleverly reverses the situation by invoking “Mei”. Causing Cloud Gouger to unleash a powerful surge that severely injures most of the Kamunabi members and returns to Sojo.
Utilizing this formidable power, Sojo secures victory over the Kamunabi. Subsequently, Sojo returns to the base, where he confronts Chihiro. While Sojo harbors numerous questions for Chihiro, he deems the current setting unsuitable for such inquiries. The narrator shares insights into Chihiro and Sojo’s health conditions and their deepened understanding of the sacred blades in their possession. The chapter concludes with the two characters preparing for an impending collision.
What To Expect From Kagurabachi Chapter 17
Following the events in the latest installment. Kagurabachi Chapter 17 is poised to present the anticipated rematch between Genichi Sojo and Chihiro Rokuhira. Both characters have transcended the theoretical limits of their Enchanted Blades by forging deeper connections with their respective blades.
Despite their enhanced abilities, it’s evident that both Sojo and Chihiro are grappling with fatigue from their previous engagements. Consequently, it seems improbable for their battle to reach a definitive conclusion in Kagurabachi Chapter 17.
Additionally, within the fan community. A prevailing theory suggests the potential for Sojo to evolve into a recurring villain in the series. If Takeru Hokazono aligns with this narrative trajectory, it implies that the demise of Genichi Sojo may not be imminent.
Hence, there arises the speculation that a third party could intervene in the ongoing battle, potentially rescuing the Mafia Boss. While this remains conjecture at this stage. Kagurabachi Chapter 17 might introduce a member of the Hishaku group, adding an intriguing dimension to the storyline.
