A brief recap of Kagurabachi chapter 11
The chapter "Awaken" began with Chihiro Rokuhira waking up in a public hospital after healing from the injuries he suffered in his fight against Sojo. When he regained consciousness, the memory of Char's severed leg came to mind.
Azami and Shiba arrived to update Chihiro on Hinao and Char's condition. While Hinao had survived, they were unable to locate Char. However, Shiba remained optimistic about her survival. He then shared with Chihiro the information he had obtained from Norisaku Madoka.

It turns out that Genichi Sojo had possession of some of the Datenseki, which was the raw material used to create the magical sword. It was later discovered that the Datenseki (Stone Ore) was infused with spiritual energy. However, the unruly nature of this energy made it challenging to contain and craft into a blade.
Kunishige Rokuhira achieved the unprecedented feat of stabilizing the ore's power and crafting the legendary enchanted Katanas. With Kunishige no longer alive, Sojo devised a plan to harness the DNA of the Kyonagi Clan in order to stabilize the ore and create his own formidable blade.

He abducted Char and kept him caged like an animal for his research, which is why Shiba apologized to Chihiro for not anticipating Sojo's move. Azami then informed him how the Mafia Boss' recent actions had sparked concern in the upper echelons of the Kamunabi. Consequently, he formed an elite corps of the Kamunabi group and introduced them to Chihiro. One member of the Kamunabi asked Chihiro for information about Sojo's blade to help them plan their next move.

The main character agreed, but with one condition: he insisted on being included in the mission. After much debate, the Kamunabi relented. Despite Chihiro's temporary incapacity to wield a blade, he still joined the team in their effort to rescue Char.

Chapter 12 of Kagurabachi is anticipated to introduce each member of the Kamunabi elite corps, following the dramatic conclusion of the previous chapter. It is also expected to feature Chihiro disclosing the secret of the Cloud Gouger blade and its capabilities to the squad.
Genichi Sojo's relentless efforts to recreate an enchanted blade may also take center stage in this upcoming chapter, along with developments related to Sojo and Char. Additionally, fans can look forward to Azami and Shiba's attempts to locate Sojo's hideout. Overall, the next installment of Kagurabachi holds great promise for fans, offering an enthralling storyline.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Kagurabachi Chapter 12. The previous chapter left us with a major cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm especially excited to learn more about the Kamunabi squad members and their abilities. I think it's really cool that Chihiro is able to join them on their mission, even though he's still recovering from his injuries.
Overall, I think Kagurabachi is a really well-written and exciting manga. The story is engaging, the characters are well-developed, and the art is beautiful. I highly recommend checking it out if you're a fan of action, adventure, and supernatural stories.
