Kagurabachi (Vol.5) - Takeru Hokazono

Kagurabachi (Volume 5) by Takeru Hokazono, published by Viz Media, pushes the dark revenge saga to new extremes as Chihiro Rokuhira faces overwhelming odds in his quest to reclaim his father’s legacy. This volume delivers relentless action, high emotional stakes, and devastating consequences.

Having sacrificed the enchanted blade Cloud Gouger, Chihiro succeeds in reclaiming Enten, the seventh and final blade forged by his father, Kunishige. But victory is short-lived. Inside the heavily guarded Storehouse, Chihiro attempts to rescue imprisoned captives while battling Kyora, whose terrifying ability allows him to manipulate the very space around them.

As the fight intensifies and Chihiro is pushed to his limits, Kyora—cornered and desperate—draws upon a fragment of the forbidden Shinuchi’s power. The battlefield descends into chaos, and the true danger of the enchanted blades becomes horrifyingly clear. With lives on the line and no room for hesitation, Chihiro must decide how far he is willing to go for vengeance.
