Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers reveal the existence of Samura's daughter
According to the Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers, the chapter is titled Night Warfare.
The alleged Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers begin with a scene at a cafe, where Chihiro Rokuhira is seen with the Masumi captain and others. The Masumi captain crowns Chihiro as the "leader" of the Masumi for a while. Chihiro feels the commander is way too overprotective.
However, he reminds the Enten-user that he's not in the best shape. Meanwhile, the Masumi girl (her name is yet to be revealed) asks Chihiro whether he was able to confirm Uruha's status. Unfortunately, Chihiro couldn't. The Masumi captain understands that it's not often the coroners get a sample of someone with an 18-year Life Contract.
The other Masumi member feels they should have at least been informed of Uruha's status. However, the Captain reminds him that they should keep their expectations low. Following that, Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers shift their conversation to a different topic.
According to the Masumi captain, there has been an information blockade among the Kamunabi, Samura, and Hishaku. Apparently, the higher-ups sent the Masumi to follow through on a mission while Chihiro was resting. Although he's looking into it, the Captain is worried about Hishaku's eerie silence.
He feels it's strange for them to be quiet after causing a rampage. That said, the other Masumi member commends Chihiro for acquiring intel on the Hishaku. Besides the Hishaku organization, the unnamed Masumi member feels they can trace the Spirit Energy of the Owl to locate Samura's location.
However, the Masumi captain reminds him that the moment Enten gets unsheathed, Samura will come at them with killing intent. According to the Masumi captain in Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers, they can always face Samura with their fighting prowess if needed. At least that's what the higher-ups at the Kamunabi expect them to.
Even though the Masumi Captain wants to face Samura as soon as possible, he knows he (Samura) is the only one who can put pressure on the Hishaku. Meanwhile, the Masumi girl can't fathom how the Hishaku can move freely. The other Masmumi member fears the Hishaku may wreak havoc on the innocent civilians if they face Samura and don't manage to acquire any further information on them.
A silence prevails, which is eventually broken by the Masumi Captain, who tells Chihiro that he doesn't need to draw his Enten for a while. According to the Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers, the Masumi captain wants Chihiro to keep his Enten as an ace in the sleeve.
Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers then switch to the Kamunabi headquarters, where a high-ranked officer asks a bearded member about keeping a hostage. The bearded Kamunabi higher-up mentions it's the only weakness of Seiichi Samura.
According to the Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers, the Kamunabi wants to hold Samura's daughter as a hostage. Doing so will enable them to bend the blind swordsman to their will. The same information is related to Chihiro by the Masumi Captain.
However, he also reveals that two years ago, an official report suggested Samura's daughter died of sudden heart failure. Yet, it was a false narrative set by the Masumi on Samura's orders. When the Masumi captain heard of Chihiro's supposed death, he wondered whether it was Samura's way of keeping his loved ones away from danger.
According to the Masumi captain in Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers, three years ago, the Kamunabi wanted to put all the family members of the contracted sword bearers under their supervision. However, Samura didn't want to let his daughter go through it.
He was against the Kamunabi using his daughter as leverage. That's why, he sent the Masumi on a mission to hide his daughter. Chihiro Rokuhira comprehends the situation. However, he is against holding Samura's daughter as a hostage.
The Masumi captain then shows Chihiro the bigger picture and the implications of the whole situation. He wonders whether Chihiro believes the Hishaku will sit idly and let themselves be killed by Samura, once their deal ends. The Masumi captain knows the Hishaku will keep something as a backup to outwit the blind swordsman.
Since Samura's daughter is his sole weakness, the Masumi captain believes the Hishaku may hold her hostage. Even though the Masumi organization has perfectly hidden Samura's daughter from the enemy's eyes, the captain thinks they shouldn't underestimate the Hishaku.
Besides, the Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers reveal Samura has given his daughter freedom and peace at the cost of making her forget their relationship. In other words, people around her won't recognize her as Samura's daughter, including herself.
Yet, considering that Hishaku breached Shinuchi's seal and executed Kunishige's murder, the Masumi captain believes the evil organization may see through the false narrative and attack her. That's why, the captain wants to go on a mission to protect Samura's daughter. According to Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers, Samura's daughter is located in Kyoto.
Following that, Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers show two Hishaku members in a convenience store. One of them addresses the other by Kuguri and tells them not to carry a blade on their back. The Hishaku member says they need to use it someday. Hence, they want to follow Sojo's advice and deepen their understanding of the blade.
Besides, Kuguri has their eyes on another contractor. From their discussion in Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers, it is revealed that Yura has given them the green signal to act as per the instructions. Kuguri feels it's been a while since they have cut someone.
According to the spoilers, the Hishaku have sent their forces to catch Samura's daughter. Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers end with a panel, featuring Samura's daughter, who has been integrated into society. She is seen studying in a classroom.
Conclusion
Kagurabachi chapter 61 spoilers have expanded the scope of the ongoing Sword Bearer Assassination Arc, with the introduction of Seiichi Samura's daughter.
As evident from the spoilers, the Masumi and Chihiro will go to Kyoto and try to protect Samura's daughter from the Hishaku. Aside from revealing new characters, the chapter gave some vital information on Samura.
