Kagurabachi Chapter 17 Spoilers & Raw Scans
As per the leaked information, Kagurabachi chapter 17 initiates with Chihiro and Sojo engaging in their battle. The preceding chapter had established that both wielders of the Enchanted Blade had a limited window of 12 seconds to conclude their confrontation before succumbing to the strain of extreme Genryoku usage.
Given the time constraint, Chihiro and Sojo could not afford any delays. They swiftly charge towards each other, locking their Enchanted Blades in a cinematic display. During this pivotal moment, Kagurabachi chapter 17 portrays an imaginary conversation unfolding between Sojo and Chihiro at the latter’s hideout.
In this envisioned scenario, the Mafia Boss offers Chihiro a plate of Hanami-Dango, a traditional Japanese dish, along with tea. However, Chihiro declines the offer, expressing his dislike for sweet treats. Sojo accuses him of being unkind, asserting that his only sentiment towards Chihiro is “murderous intent.”
Sojo then confronts Chihiro about his father, Kunishige Rokuhira. Initially confused, Chihiro swiftly recollects mentioning his familial connection to Kunishige when he first encountered Sojo. The Mafia boss clarifies that while Chihiro’s words aided in his understanding of the Enchanted Blade’s connection, the protagonist’s resolute beliefs repulsed him. According to Sojo, the Enchanted Blade served solely as a tool for causing destruction, a stark contrast to Chihiro’s interpretation.
Kagurabachi chapter 17 spoilers unveil that despite Sojo’s awareness of the incorrectness of his viewpoint, he remained steadfast in his convictions, believing that the message from the blade’s creator (Kunishige) was centered on “murder.” Deep within, he acknowledged the fallacy of his interpretation, yet his alignment with the Kuregumo or Cloud Gouger blade stemmed from committing acts of murder.
Returning to the battlefield, Kagurabachi chapter 17 depicts Sojo swiftly maneuvering past Chihiro to sever one of his arms. The Mafia Boss discerns that while he possesses greater physical strength, Chihiro has acquired increased speed. The narrative then shifts back to the imaginary moment, where Chihiro asserts to Sojo that anyone can speak on behalf of Kunishige Rokuhira, attributing significance to their ongoing battle.
Resuming the battle scene, the Mafia Boss discovers that aside from Nishiki, Chihiro possesses three additional abilities – projectile slashes, a defensive capability, and the capacity to employ lightning as a lightning rod.
As Yui and Kou proved ineffective against the dark-haired protagonist’s speed, Sojo opts for a strategic move – employing lightning as a surprise attack. Kagurabachi chapter 17 unfolds with the Mafia Boss taking a risk, hastening the consumption of his Genryoku to shorten the remaining six seconds to a mere few. This gamble is undertaken with the aim of enveloping himself in twice his usual Genryoku capacity to deliver a fatal blow to Chihiro.
Despite his intentions, the swing misses its mark, with Chihiro skillfully evading the attack using Nishiki. The narrative then delves into Chihiro’s contemplation of his father’s teachings regarding the Enchanted Blades. Kunishige, recognizing that the blades he crafted were not the ultimate solution for the world, wanted his son to form his own perspectives rather than blindly adhering to his words. Chihiro becomes cognizant of the fact that the Enchanted Blades must not persist in the world.
Sensing a malevolent aura emanating from Cloud Gouger, Sojo, driven by murderous intent, prompts Chihiro to retaliate with even more profound murderous determination. Kagurabachi chapter 17 spoilers depict Chihiro severing Sojo’s arm in response.
Following this confrontation, Chihiro harnesses three times his body’s maximum Genryoku capacity, unleashing a colossal Kuro with a mere one-second remaining. The chapter concludes with Chihiro slashing down Sojo and simultaneously shattering the Cloud Gouger.
