Recapitulating the previous events
In the previous chapter, Kagurabachi delivered dramatic and intense moments. Hiruhiko, using his play skill, completely destroyed Kyoto's Hotel Massacre in a desperate attempt to eliminate his enemies. However, Samura demonstrated the third technique of Tobimmune, known as Suzaku, being able to restore the building with its regenerative flames.
After brutally defeating Hiruhiko, Samura turned her attention to Chihiro, making it clear that a new confrontation would be inevitable. Meanwhile, emotionally shaken Hiruhiko reflected on his incompatibility with the play skill, as his lack of attachment to anything in life made him paradoxically able to use the power of destruction.
The chapter also explored a new scene involving painter Kanryuu Yoshida, who exposed his interpretation of the legendary Phoenix in an art gallery. His painting, based on events witnessed during the seitei war, symbolized renewal and resilience - themes that resonated directly with the events between Samura and Hiruhiko.
With Hiruhiko's defeat, Samura further demonstrated the depth of his powers. His flames, baptized as flames of universal mercy by Yoshida, now have the ability to restore not only his own body but also the world around him, giving him an even more overwhelming dominion in battle.
What to expect from Kagurabachi chapter 78?
It seems that Chapter 78 will mark the beginning of direct confrontation between Chihiro Rokuhira and Seiichi Samura. After being defeated in the past, Chihiro will have the difficult mission of proving his evolution and perhaps trying to convey Samura the idea that he does not have to carry the weight of the world alone.
In addition, it is speculated that other elements of the plot will gain prominence. Characters like Kuguri or other Hishaku wizards can interfere with battle, and the movement to invade Kamunabi HQ headquarters can also advance.
Another question that remains is if Hiruhiko, even seriously injured and emotionally shaken, will have some last letter in the sleeve to surprise opponents. With so many elements in play, Kagurabachi Chapter 78 promises an electrifying unfolding that can redefine the course of the story.
Where to read Kagurabachi chapter 78?
Readers will be able to check out Kagurabachi's new chapter through official Shueisha services, such as the Manga Plus application, Manga Plus , the Shonen Jump+ app and also through the Viz Media website.
However, it is important to note that most of these platforms allow reading only the first three and last three chapters for free. To access intermediate chapters, such as the 78, you need to sign a subscription, especially in the Shoenen Jump+APP. Manga Plus also requires signature to continue following the story beyond the free chapters.
