Kagurabachi Chapter 75: Samura Faces Illusive Challenges of Kumeyuri
Kagurabachi Chapter 75, titled “Illusion,”opens with Samura descending from the sky, wielding the formidable Tobimune Enchanted Blade. His striking black wings have vanished, leaving only a flurry of crow feathers behind, while Iori watches him, sensing both calm and danger.
Toto recognizes the imminent threat and urges Hiruhiko to escape, but Hiruhiko hesitates, believing Samura might hold back upon seeing Iori. Just as he finishes speaking, Samura swiftly decapitates him. Iori, witnessing this shocking display, is rendered speechless, illustrating the fearsome prowess of Samura, who utilizes his feathers to sense the battlefield.
Chihiro, meanwhile, remembers that the Tobimune blade possesses an ability known as “Crow”, enabling the user to swap places with the crow feathers. As Samura locks eyes with Chihiro, the latter counters by summoning his own defensive shield using Kuro: Shred.
At this pivotal moment, Samura senses Iori’s presence and inquires whether the seal on her memories has been fully lifted. Rou confirms that it has, thanks to Iori’s actions, prompting Samura to command Rou to re-seal her memories.
This tension-filled chapter sees Iori rebuking Samura for his inability to listen, leaving him at a loss for words. To complicate matters, Hiruhiko’s talking head materializes, while the Kumeyuri blade in his grasp begins to liquefy, leading to his disappearance.
The surrounding area begins to distort, revealing two Geisha figures pouring sake into a bowl. This is a manifestation of the Kumeyuri blade’s “Banquet” ability, which creates realistic hallucinations based on the intoxicated state of individuals. Hiruhiko had utilized the blade first, activating this potent move.
Samura quickly realizes that his earlier kills were mere phantoms, as both Hiruhiko and Toto seize the chance to make their escape. As confusion reigns and numerous adversaries converge on Samura, Chihiro questions how Samura could falter, suspecting it may be due to Iori’s influence.
Despite Kumeyuri’s hallucinatory powers, Chihiro remains composed, able to distinguish between reality and deception. It appears that Samura and Iori are most affected by these illusions due to their deep desires.
Furthermore, Iori finds herself surrounded by the Hishaku mobs. Aware of the peril she’s in, Chihiro rushes towards Samura, urging him to prioritize his daughter’s safety. The chapter then culminates with Samura redirecting his focus to protect Iori from the surrounding threats.

The focus then shifts to Chihiro, who is in pursuit of Hiruhiko. Meanwhile, Hiruhiko expresses admiration for the capabilities of the Kumeyuri Enchanted Blade. Toto, however, cautions him about his wounds, suggesting that they could accept defeat gracefully and retreat with Kumeyuri’s assistance.
Yet, Hiruhiko is reluctant to pass up the chance to capture Samura’s daughter, viewing it as potentially their only opportunity. Their conversation reveals a pre-existing bond between Hiruhiko and Toto, hinting at their deeper strategy.
Meanwhile, Chihiro Rokuhira employs his Kuro ability to hunt down Hiruhiko. Noting that Hiruhiko is still learning to wield the Enchanted Blade, Chihiro theorizes that Kumeyuri’s range might be somewhat restricted, suspecting the Hishaku sorcerers are still hidden within the hotel.
Ultimately, Chihiro locates Hiruhiko and charges at him with determination. In a chilling exchange, Hiruhiko confronts Chihiro, questioning whether they are truly prepared to resort to killing one another. Chihiro declares that he is finally ready to eliminate Hiruhiko without hesitation. Meanwhile, the Hishaku leader Yura is seen plotting in Tokyo, accompanied by another sorcerer in a hat.
As per the events in Kagurabachi Chapter 75, Yura and her companion intend to breach the Kamunabi headquarters lying beneath their feet. Acknowledging Samura’s importance as a powerful asset, Yura also realizes the necessity of eliminating him, particularly since one of her strategies hinges on capturing Samura’s daughter.
Prioritizing caution, Yura contemplates the need for an additional tactic. The chapter closes with Yura and her unnamed partner (Takeru Hokazono) gearing up for their infiltration of the Kamunabi headquarters.
Concluding Insights
One of the standout moments in Kagurabachi Chapter 75 is Hiruhiko demonstrating the powers of the Kumeyuri Enchanted Blade. Although still inexperienced, he manages to outsmart Seiichi Samura, a veteran of the Seitei War. It raises questions about whether Iori’s presence on the battlefield impacted Samura’s perceptual abilities, as he should have been familiar with these capabilities as a user of Enchanted Blades.
It’s also plausible that Samura had encountered or heard of such abilities through Uruha before this. Regardless, chapter 75 sets the stage for a thrilling rematch between Chihiro Rokuhira and Hiruhiko, with both participants now wielding Enchanted Blades. Fans are left eager to see if Hiruhiko’s unorthodox methods can catch Chihiro off guard.
