Warning: The following contains spoilers for chapter 13 of Kagurabachi, “Elite”, by Takeru Hokazono, translated by Camellia Nieh, and lettered by Phil Christie, now available in English from Viz Media.
The story in Kagurabachi is at a critical juncture, with Sojo engaging in a fierce battle with the Anti-Cloud Gouger Special Forces. He has already shown that he is a ruthless individual, and he does not care about the number of casualties that may occur while he uses the Enchanted Blade. During his first encounter with Chihiro, Sojo showed a glimpse of what he was capable of. He used the Cloud Gouger to fight and beat Chihiro. He used Mei, a lethal lightning attack, despite being surrounded by a lot of people.
The civilians would have died if it weren’t for Chihiro, who turned his Enchanted Blade into a lightning rod that drew in the attack. Sojo managed to escape successfully, and his group was able to take Char. Meanwhile, Chiro was hospitalized, and it took him five days to regain consciousness. After waking up, Chihiro learned about the existence of the Anti-Cloud Gouger Special Forces, which were tasked with defeating Sojo and reclaiming the Enchanted Sword. To fully learn about the strength of the Cloud Gouger, they talked to Chihiro, who provided them with the necessary details.
Sojo vs Kamunabi
Sojo was more than excited to try out his powers against the Kamunabi. He was confident that the Enchanted Blade would help him take down the entire squad. However, Chihiro’s information about the sword helped them stop Sojo from killing people. The Kamunabi tricked Sojo into a trap, which forced him to use Mei, giving the squad an opportunity to bring him down.
In Chapter 14, fans may get a chance to see the battle continuing between the two sides. At the moment, it seems that the Anti-Cloud Gouger Special Forces have the edge, but given the power of the Enchanted Blades, it would be unwise to rule out a comeback from Sojo. He might have a realization that will allow him to break his shell and improve his power further. Sojo is very keen to learn, and it seems unlikely that this will be the end of his story. There is definitely a lot of potential in this character, so it will be interesting to see how the author handles him.
Char’s Rescue
Chihiro has already made it clear that he has to rescue Char at all costs. He knows that Char has suffered a lot in the captivity of Sojo, who tried to use her unique physical power to control the Datenseki. Chihiro is aware that infiltrating the location won’t be easy, and he will have to be on his toes. Fans already know that the protagonist is not in the best of conditions, so he cannot put too much stress on his body; otherwise, he could end up getting seriously hurt.
After learning about Char’s location, the hero will waste no time going there. While it looks like there are only two sorcerers guarding her cage, it is highly likely that they have backup. When Chihiro finally confronts them, they will start attacking the hero. Considering they have been given such an important job, the sorcerers won’t be pushovers. They will push Chihiro to the edge, which might result in his condition worsening, and he might be forced to retreat to save himself. With his back to the wall, Chihiro will have to find inspiration somewhere.
An Exciting Conclusion
Chihiro might imagine what Char is going through. He knows only a bit about her past, but he knows that she has suffered a lot. It is possible that Chihiro may remember his father’s lessons about the Enchanted Blades, which will help him come up with a plan. His chances of winning will go up if he can utilize the knowledge in battle. Chihiro will be able to deal with the sorcerers blocking his path and save Char from the heinous doctors, who want to perform yet another gruesome procedure on her.
It is also possible that the chapter will give attention to the battle between Sojo and the Elites. The last time fans saw Sojo, he seemed done for. However, it is unwise to rule out the possibility of Sojo coming up with some kind of lethal attack that will dig him out of the perilous situation. In any case, Kagurabachi Chapter 14 promises to be one of the best so far, and fans should look forward to it.
Kagurabachi Chapter 14 will be released on December 17, 2023. It will be available to read on Viz Media for free.
