Kagurabachi Chapter 61 recap

The chapter begins with a scene near a street cafe, where the Masumi discuss their next plans with Chihiro Rokuhira, who has almost recovered from his injuries. The Masumi leader asks Chihiro about Uruha's status, but the forensics haven't revealed anything.

He recalls Shiba's words and feels they shouldn't keep much hope. Meanwhile, it is revealed that the Masumi were sent on a mission while Chihiro was incapacitated at the hospital. However, they detected on sightings of Hishaku.

The Masumi leader felt it was eerie for the organization to keep quiet after wreaking havoc at the Senkutusji temple. On the other hand, he believes the Hishaku, Samura, and Kamunabi are in a three-way deadlock.

While they can opt to fight Samura anytime they want by having Chihiro draw Enten, the Masumi know it can jeopardize their chances against the Hishakus.

Apparently, Samura can push the Hishaku in a way they can't. Hence, without some solid intel on Hishaku, they don't want to proceed with their actions. Following that, the discussion turns to another angle. It is revealed that Samura has a daughter.

A few years ago, Samura sent the Masumi on a mission to fake his daughter's death. According to the chapter, after the Seitei War, the Kamunabi imposed heavy restrictions on the Enchanted Blade wielder's family members to ensure their safety. However, Samura didn't want her daughter to endure such hardship.

Hence, he had the Masumi cast a specific spell on his daughter to erase her memories. As a consequence of the spell, Samura's daughter doesn't know about her previous identity. The Masumi feels the Hishaku may have found out about Samura's daughter being alive.

Otherwise, they wouldn't made a deal with Samura. The Masumi captain speculates that the Hishaku may hold Samura's daughter hostage to pull the strings on the blind sorcerer. Hence, they plan their next mission to take Samura's daughter into their custody.

According to the chapter, Samura's daughter is in Kyoto. Meanwhile, the chapter introduces two new Hishaku members. One of them named Kuguri is seen carrying an Enchanted Blade on his back. The other Hishaku member admonishes him for being conspicuous with the blade.

It is revealed that Yura has sent them on a mission to kidnap Samura's daughter. The chapter ends with a panel, showing Samura's daughter, studying in a classroom.

Given how the latest chapter ended, Kagurabachi Chapter 62 will likely show Chihiro and the Masumi preparing to go to Kyoto. As evident from the chapter, Samura's daughter will play a crucial role in the remainder of the arc.

Kagurabachi Chapter 62 will likely give a hint as to how Chihiro and Masumi can detect Samura's daughter in Kyoto. It remains to be seen whether Chihiro enters the same school as Samura's daughter to monitor her closely.
