With the plot reaching a critical juncture, fans are already speculating about what will happen in this new chapter. Below, check out all the details on dates, times, reading platforms, and what to expect from the next part of this captivating story.
Chapter 76 Recap: Tension, Illusion, and Redemption
The previous chapter delivered a battle packed with emotion and twists. The story began with the revelation of the "True Realm" of the Enchanted Blades, suggesting that the true power of these weapons depends solely on the wielder's potential. This premise led the reader back to the confrontation between Chihiro and Hiruhiko, where the latter revealed the "Play" technique, which allows him to control inanimate objects—including the bodies around him.
Meanwhile, Samura faced the psychological horrors inflicted by Hiruhiko, who exploited the swordsman's past traumas to destabilize him emotionally. At the chapter's climax, an illusion causes him to relive the moment his daughter Iori was in danger. Samura, without hesitation, throws himself to protect her and ends up pierced by illusory blades.
However, Hiruhiko underestimates his opponent's willpower. Samura uses the third move of his Tobimune sword, called Suzaku , and reemerges from the darkness, his body enveloped in healing flames. The final scene hints not only at his physical recovery, but also at a possible cure for his blindness.
What to expect from Kagurabachi Chapter 77
The new chapter has everything it needs to solidify Samura as one of the most impactful characters in the current arc. Now free from the illusory effects of Hiruhiko's "Banquet," and seemingly with his sight restored, he's poised to reveal his true combat potential. Thus, the fight between the two is expected to reach its climax, with revelations about Tobimune's ultimate powers and, who knows, a surprising outcome for Hiruhiko.
Another point readers are eagerly awaiting is the reunion between Samura and Iori. If the previous illusion is related to reality, the moment could carry a strong emotional charge and thus serve as a catalyst for future events—whether to solidify a tragic ending or bring relief to the character after long periods of pain.
