Kagurabachi Chapter 127: Subaru steps up as Kunishige's forging faces its greatest threat

Kagurabachi Chapter 127 is here, and this week's installment continues to maintain the intensity as it looks like the story is about to head into a high-stakes action sequence. At the same time, this chapter also has its emotional moments as readers get more context about Kunishige Rokuhira's past. While in the current timeline, he is working towards trying to perform a dangerous smelting ceremony, enemies are also closing in on the location of the workshop.

It looks like Subaru Uruta will have to step in so Kunishige works on the creation of the Enchanted Blades. Kagurabachi Chapter 127 also goes to explore more into his past and at the same time makes us understand why he is so selective about choosing who gets to wield his swords. This chapter starts off by picking up right after the events that took place in the previous installment. We see that Kunishige is recalling an incident that took place in his childhood.

When he was a kid, a mysterious man suddenly barged into his space and started to frantically attack, claiming that he knew his father. He was demanding money while not stopping to swing his sword around. Thankfully, Shiba was around, and he jumped right into this scene and took down the attacker before anyone was critically injured. After the attacker was subdued, Kunishige noticed that the sword he carried was crafted by his father.

This moment made him realise that skilled craftsmanship ending up in the hands of dangerous people should be avoided, as it just ends up empowering them. Kunishige reveals that he indeed has some money that his father left before he was killed. Later on, he reflects that this money came from the swords that his father sold in the first place. This was an important realization that happens in Kagurabachi Chapter 127; it gives us context for his character.

The smelting ceremony reaches its most critical phase

The flashback in Kagurabachi Chapter 127 was short, and we return to the main story where the smelting ceremony is ongoing. We see that Kunishige remains completely focused despite being physically exhausted. Interestingly, this chapter gives us a proper explanation of the sword-making process.

It has been around two days since he last slept and kept his eye on the furnace, and now it has reached the most dangerous stage yet. This furnace itself has reached an extremely high temperature; now even the smallest mistake would end up ruining all of the hard work. Despite being clearly tired, Kunishige does not take his eye off the flames.

The Masumi launch their attack in Kagurabachi Chapter 127

Just as the smelting reaches its peak, disaster strikes. A massive explosion erupts outside the workshop, signaling the arrival of the Masumi. Rather than panic, Subaru Uruta calmly notes that they had expected the attack and had simply hoped to buy enough time for Kunishige to continue forging.

Outside, Shiba prepares to intercept the invaders but is caught off guard by a mysterious female Masumi operative whose stealth abilities leave virtually no trace. Instead of defeating him through brute force, she temporarily disables the sorcery suppressing his previous injuries, causing all of his wounds to return at once.

Subaru becomes the chapter's standout character

With Shiba incapacitated and the workshop under attack, Subaru Uruta emerges as the chapter's biggest hero. As the Masumi in Kagurabachi Chapter 127 charge toward the furnace, Subaru instantly activates his clone sorcery to intercept them before they can disrupt the smelting ceremony. Rather than asking Kunishige to fight, he orders him to stay focused solely on forging the blade.

His message is simple but powerful: as long as the fire keeps burning, Kunishige must not look away. The Kagurabachi Chapter 127 ends with Subaru drawing his sword to protect both Kunishige and the smelting process, setting the stage for what promises to be an intense battle in the upcoming installments.
