Kagurabachi Chapter 2 Release Date, Time, and Chapter 1 Spoilers

This edgy mixture of violent swordplay, sorcery, and moody quips shall continue with the release date of Kagurabachi Chapter 2!

In Chapter 1, we’re introduced to Chihiro and his quest for vengeance.

RECAP: Kagurabachi Chapter 1 Spoilers and What to Expect in Chapter 2

Chapter 1 quickly introduces us to Chihiro and a peaceful, idyllic past, before ushering us into a 38-month timeskip. Gone is the era of tranquility achieved by his father’s swordsmithing, and in place of it is a period of strife where Yakuza string the bodies of the innocent as a warning. Chihiro, now a young adult, swings into action, refusing to allow the unworthy to wield the katana. Beyond that is a plot of sorcerers backing up these Yakuza, and some mighty tricks concealed within Chihiro’s blade.

To take advantage of the virality of this latest release, I figured I should give my thoughts. This chapter puts Kagurabachi firmly in the Big 4 of Shonen. If you say Big 3, you’d be mistaken, as this new structure replaces Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece with 3 copies of Chapter 1, and the inevitable box set of this series is #4. Unsurprisingly, that will also be our reading order for the series, so stay tuned. If only Kentaro Miura was able to make something like this in his day, as with Kagurabachi, we’ve achieved peak fiction.
