The Sword Saint’s Shinuchi Enchanted Blade Uncovered in Kagurabachi Chapter 72
The purported title for Chapter 72 is “The Ahead”and it carries forth the narrative from the previous chapter. Samura initially asks Yura to leave him be, as he has just concluded the final rites for his late wife. Yura, however, seeks to thank him for his contributions as a “hero”and recounts the grim events of the Seitei War.
This war has its roots in an invasion by brutish entities from a remote island, whose bodies were enhanced by the Datenseki stones. These minor incursions escalated into widespread conflict, only to take a dramatic turn with the arrival of Enchanted Blade wielders, who were determined to eradicate these hostile forces.
Under the leadership of the Sword Saint, these wielders fought valiantly, claiming they restored peace—a narrative that was later obscured by the true events of the Seitei War. According to the Chapter 72 spoilers, these secrets are now finally being exposed.
As the conflict neared its conclusion, the barbarians raised a white flag, revealing that some among them were not only resilient to the Datenseki stones but had also acquired new powers. The Royal Family, leaders of the invading forces, sought a truce, leading to a temporary peace treaty.
Yet, the Sword Saint desired complete annihilation of the enemy. As outlined in the spoilers, his experiences in the War—stepping over endless corpses—took a toll on his sanity, compelling him to awaken the formidable Shinuchi, a power with the singular goal of harvesting lives.
The uncontrollable wrath of the Sword Saint resulted in the deaths of 200,000 innocent people. Only through the combined efforts of five other Enchanted Blade wielders could his overwhelming hunger for destruction be subdued, leading to his confinement in secrecy. Subsequently, the small nation worked diligently to rebuild, crafting a false legend around the Sword Saint as a hero.
The narrative transitions back to Yura, who informs Samura of a grave prophecy: should the Sword Saint remain alive, calamity will inevitably arise—this time in Japan. Yura urges Samura to take actions necessary to avert this disaster.
At this pivotal moment, Iori appears, leaving her father puzzled by Yura’s sudden departure and inquiring about the calamity she overheard. Samura reassures her that he isn’t going anywhere. The focus then shifts to the Kamunabi headquarters, where Samura discusses Yura’s warning with a high-ranking member wearing sunglasses. He proposes they take action concerning the Sword Saint.
The Kamunabi official dismisses the prophecy, suggesting it might be a mere fortune-telling—a “possibility”rather than an inevitability. He reassures him that both the Sword Saint and the Shinuchi are under stringent surveillance, with their isolation further securing the situation. Nevertheless, Samura remains troubled, convinced that as long as the Sword Saint and the Shinuchi exist, tragedy is bound to repeat itself.
Chapter 72 also reveals that Kunishige Rokuhira faced a daunting challenge in crafting the Life Long Contract, a sorcerous bond tying the lives of its users. This complicated task led him to design these contracts as parent-child configurations.
The Shinuchi Enchanted Blade stood at the heart of this system, meaning the death of the Sword Saint would trigger a cascade of fatalities among the other contract holders within mere days. Thus, the Kamunabi member cautions Samura that executing the Sword Saint would equate to suicide.
Understanding Samura’s newfound familial responsibilities, the Kamunabi official emphasizes that the organization’s security measures are in place to protect both the Sword Saint and the Shinuchi Enchanted Blade. He also recalls the valiant efforts made during the War.
The narrative continues in the dojo, showcasing Iori’s prowess as she conquers a sparring partner using a technique reminiscent of her father’s style, with her eyes closed. Samura observes her ability to eliminate distractions, enabling her to focus entirely on her swordsmanship. After the match, Iori expresses her ambition to become the strongest to safeguard her father in the future, prompting Samura to look forward to her promising journey.
Conclusion
The spoilers for Kagurabachi Chapter 72 unveil critical truths regarding the saga—the secrets of the Seitei War and the Sword Saint’s deteriorating psyche, exacerbated by the influence of the Shinuchi Enchanted Blade.
Despite a peace treaty, the tragic extermination of 200,000 innocent lives at the Sword Saint’s hands illustrates the profound darkness within this narrative. Additionally, the chapter clarifies that eliminating the Sword Saint would unleash the Life Long Contracts, imperiling the remaining Enchanted Blade contractors.
Interestingly, Chihiro Rokuhira might be exempt from this catastrophic chain reaction due to Kunishige’s crafting of Enten as his ultimate blade, suggesting it could exist independently of the imbalances tied to Shinuchi and the other contracted blades.
