Genichi Sojo's Showdown: Unveiling the Cloud Gouger Against Chihiro - Kagurabachi Chapter 9 Spoilers and Raw Scans

In the previous chapter of Kagurabachi, readers were shown the merciless nature of Genichi Sojo, as he ruthlessly eliminates his subordinates for failing to fulfill their duties. Unforgivingly, not even their family members were spared. Following this shocking display, Sojo manages to infiltrate Chihiro and Hinao's hideout, leading to a confrontation with our protagonist involving the unique weapon, Cloud Gouger.

In Kagurabachi chapter 9, Enten vs Cloud Gouger, Azami and Shiba discuss Genichi Sojo's motives regarding the enchanted blades. Azami finds it odd that Sojo would auction off the valuable Shinuchi blade and place a bounty on Char and Chihiro's Katana. He believes that Sojo's actions have been reckless. Shiba then raises the question of whether the mafia boss would attack the Kamunabi. Considering that Sojo possessed Kunishige's Cloud Gouger blade, it was a plausible scenario.

The conversation then turns to Chihiro's abilities as a sorcerer. Azami was aware of Chihiro's capability to combat Sojo, which is precisely why Chihiro had to maintain a low profile in the beginning. In a twist, Kagurabachi 9 spoilers reveal Azami sharing with Shiba how their side had the advantage of the Enchanted Blades forged by Kunishige during the Seitei War.

There has never been a case of enchanted blade users fighting each other. Next, the scene switches to a building where a large crowd has gathered. Azami informs the readers that the anniversary of the Seitei War was celebrated the previous week, and to commemorate the occasion, the authorities organized a special exhibition for the public.

The children attend this exhibition and are in awe of Kunishige Rokuhira, their revered "Hero." According to Azami, Kunishige and his enchanted blades were considered the ones who would bring an end to the war. However, Azami is aware that if the enchanted blades were to clash now, there would be casualties.

Chapter 8 brings an epic showdown between Sojo and Chihiro. The thrilling battle intensifies in Kagurabachi chapter 9, where Chihiro's thoughts start to question Sojo's true intentions. However, everything changes when Chihiro comes face to face with the Cloud Gouger, the legendary blade forged by his father, Kunishige.

Genichi Sojo asks him why he possessed an unknown enchanted blade. Upon realizing that Sojo's intention was not to take Char away, Chihiro decides to address the matter elsewhere. Spoilers from Kagurabachi chapter 9 reveal that the Cloud Gouger blade encompasses three elements, including ice and thunder.

Genichi Sojo ascends into the air and launches an ice attack towards Chihiro. Swiftly, the protagonist counteracts by utilizing Black (Kuro) to slice through the ice while simultaneously hurling his shorter blade. In a seamless motion, he swiftly maneuvers himself to position behind Sojo, intending to deliver a decisive strike.

Regrettably, the mafia boss skillfully intercepts the attack, forcing Chihiro backward. The perceptive protagonist acknowledges that Sojo surpasses him in strength, noting that his opponent remains unhindered despite employing the blade.

Due to having previously utilized Nishiki, Chihiro found himself in a less than ideal state to effectively demonstrate its prowess once again. It was at this juncture that Sojo expressed his profound admiration for Kunishige Rokuhira's exceptional skill in crafting such remarkable blades. As an avid enthusiast of Rokuhira's work, Sojo diligently immersed himself in studying all available documents pertaining to the enchanted Katana.

Sojo confronts Chihiro in Kagurabachi chapter 9, questioning his choice to wield the enchanted blade. Reflecting on his father, the protagonist passionately declares that he wields the blade to vanquish evil and protect the vulnerable. Nevertheless, Sojo remains unsatisfied with Chihiro's response as he views these weapons merely as the ultimate instruments of murder.

In Kagurabachi chapter 9, Sojo leaps high into the air and unleashes a lightning strike, utilizing the Cloud Gouger's second ability, with the intention of stealing the lives of innocent civilians. However, Chihiro swiftly intervenes, sacrificing himself by becoming a lightning rod and absorbing the attack. This action prevents the potential destruction of everything in the vicinity.

The mafia boss attempts to showcase the ability once more but is unsuccessful. Chihiro informs him that the Cloud Gouger's "Mei" is a powerful attack that requires a 20-second reboot time. As Kagurabachi chapter 9 concludes, the protagonist, battered and bruised, prepares to unleash his special attack, Nishiki.
