Kagurabachi chapter 2 spoilers provide a glimpse of Chihiro Rokuhira's tragic backstory
The spoilers and raw scans for Kagurabachi chapter 2 have already surfaced on the internet, even before the official release date. The leaked information reveals that the chapter commences with Shiba freeing the individual (associated with the Anti-Korogumi movement) who was apprehended by the Yakuza. When questioned about his identity, Shiba discloses his name.
However, Chihiro aims his Katana at the Yakuza boss, boldly stating that he will eliminate the sorcerers, even if they are monstrous beings. Shiba underscores the seriousness of Chihiro's words as he approaches the Yakuza boss. The protagonist, curious about the sorcerer group called Hishaku, inquires about their knowledge from the leader of the Korogumi group.
Before the group leader can respond, something peculiar begins to occur within his body. To Chihiro and Shiba's astonishment, the head of the Korogumi group undergoes a transformation, assuming the form of a grotesque, tree-like creature. In a panic, Chihiro urgently commands Shiba to flee with the person they had rescued.
Kagurabachi chapter 2 leaks and spoilers reveal an interesting twist as Shiba displays his hidden sorcerer powers. He astounds everyone by teleporting outside, rescuing someone in the process. Witnessing Shiba's panic, he queries if the sight of sorcery is unfamiliar to him. Additionally, Shiba realizes that the majority of sorcerers hail from the cities, which explains why the townspeople are largely unaware of their existence.
In Chapter 2 of Kagurabachi, Shiba locates Chihiro and discovers him among a group of Yakuza members who have been transformed into trees. It is revealed that when they tried to discuss the Hishaku group, a hidden spell within them was triggered, resulting in their tree-like state.
The spoilers for Kagurabachi Chapter 2 suggest that the sorcerer introduced in the first chapter is responsible for casting the curse on the Yakuza members as a safeguard against betrayal. Shiba then informs Chihiro Rokuhira of his plans to travel to Tokyo and expresses his desire to accompany him.

Concerned for his friend, Shiba suggested that he rest and recover. Shiba found it remarkable how Chihiro, who had no prior combat experience just three years ago, had become so skilled in wielding a blade.
According to the spoilers, the second chapter of Kagurabachi takes the readers on a journey back in time to three years ago. In this flashback, we discover that Rokuhira's Blacksmith Forgery and the House were safeguarded and concealed by a barrier created by Shiba. This protective measure ensured that any potential threats would be promptly detected and averted.

Shiba hurried to Rokuhira's residence only to discover it in ruins. His heart sank as he witnessed fifteen-year-old Chihiro cradling his father's lifeless body. It seemed that Kunishige Rokuhira, the creator of the Mystic Katanas, had unleashed six of these powerful swords during the war. After the conflict came to an end, he had hidden all six beneath his workshop.
Chihiro recounted how three sorcerers had infiltrated their home and stolen the coveted Katanas. In a heartbreaking flashback, Kunishige had revealed to his child the unique abilities infused within each blade. Overwhelmed with grief and memories, Chihiro wept uncontrollably and swore vengeance upon his father's killers.
A sneak peek of Kagurabachi chapter 2 just surfaced, unveiling an intriguing secret. It turns out Chihiro is the proud guardian of the legendary seventh Mystic Katana, meticulously crafted by his father, Kunishige.

He was eager to locate the Katanas swiftly, pondering the potential harm they could cause. A captivating scene unfolds, showcasing Chihiro gazing at his blade as two goldfish gracefully circle it.
