Kagurabachi Chapter 90 Predictions: Enten’s True Power Unleashed

Kagurabachi Chapter 89 Recap: The Awakening of Enten’s Curse

Chapter 89, titled “Ashes Beneath the Blade,” delivered a whirlwind of intensity, unveiling new layers of Chihiro Rokuhira’s psyche and escalating the stakes surrounding Enten’s cursed power. As the dust settled from the battle at the Sanka Fortress, fans were left reeling after the final panel showed Chihiro’s eyes flickering with an ominous glow—hinting that Enten may be awakening a deeper, more malevolent will of its own.

The chapter opened with Chihiro, bloodied and cornered, facing off against Shinpei Goto of the Kyokuto Bureau. With Shiba critically injured, Chihiro unleashed a partial form of Enten’s new ability: “Mugenjin—Infinite Blade.” Unlike anything we’ve seen before, this technique shredded Shinpei’s mana-shield in seconds, its black flames singing not just flesh but memory—causing hallucinations of lost loved ones in its victims.

We also saw a key flashback to Kunishige Rokuhira, revealing that Enten was not forged as a weapon of vengeance—but as a “memory blade” meant to protect Chihiro from forgetting who he truly is. The cursed evolution of the blade seems to be twisting that original intent.

The final pages brought the most shocking moment: as Shinpei attempted to escape using a forbidden Bureau talisman, Chihiro’s body moved independently—Enten pulling his arm to strike the finishing blow. Chihiro’s last line:

“Was that…me?”

Predictions for Kagurabachi Chapter 90: Blade and Soul in Crisis

Following the emotional high and narrative cliffhanger of Chapter 89, Kagurabachi Chapter 90 is expected to dive deeper into the twisted bond between Chihiro and Enten—possibly setting the stage for a full spiritual manifestation of the cursed sword.

Enten’s Sentience Unleashed

Chapter 90 could confirm that Enten has become semi-sentient, reacting to danger and feeding off Chihiro’s suppressed rage and trauma. A possible internal dialogue between Chihiro and a blade-bound spirit (perhaps Kunishige’s remnant?) could unveil a battle not just for control of Enten—but for Chihiro’s identity itself.

Flashback: The Original Seven Swords

We may get a flashback or intel drop revealing more about the original seven Rakuza blades—especially the missing “Kugai no Hane.” This could foreshadow the return of the swordsmith sect that vanished after Kunishige’s betrayal, and deepen the lore of the enchanted sword system.

Shiba’s Fate & The Bureau’s Next Move

With Shiba wounded, Chapter 90 might briefly shift to the Bureau’s higher-ups reacting to Shinpei’s defeat. Expect the introduction of a new elite assassin, likely someone with a personal vendetta against Kunishige or Chihiro. Shiba may also finally reveal his connection to the Rakuza forges, hinted at during Chapter 85.

Chihiro’s Isolation Arc Begins

Chihiro may choose to distance himself from his allies, fearing Enten’s influence. This internal-external exile could mark the beginning of a “Lone Wolf Arc,” in which Chihiro travels to forbidden zones to find a way to suppress or cleanse Enten—potentially involving a new group of rogue swordsmith monks or forbidden mana rituals.
