We Finally Meet The Rest of the Hishaku! Yura vs Uruha is Coming! Kagurabachi Chapter 87 Spoilers!

In the previous Kagurabachi chapter, Samura and Chihiro join forces as they rush to Kamunabi HQ to stop the Sword Saint from being killed or, worse, freed.

Kagurabachi Chapter 87 is titled, “Ghosts”

This chapter has 19 pages.

The chapter begins at the Kamunabi Headquarters Information Storage Room, where Azami reads up about a record on the Hishaku and Kunishige Rokuhira’s assassination.

From Chihiro’s intel taken from Hiruhiko’s confession in Chapter 54: “Friendship”. 

We see other notes about the Hishaku members.

“Blood not registered in the family index”

“Sorcery that does not belong to a prominent elite family line”

Azami notes that with an age group that varies, these sorcerers have the ability to accomplish an assassination even on someone as capable as Kunishige Rokuhira. 

The relationships between each member, their origins or even who the rest of them are remains a mystery, almost like they are, as the chapter title says, “ghosts”.

Azami gets a bad feeling as while only three enemies have entered, the other four have not appeared yet.

Uruha also gets the same bad feeling as he faces his opponents from Chapter 83: Enten at the Fifth Floor of Kamunabi Headquarters.

He realizes that they are using the Kamunabi soldiers as pawns, not take any risks and swoop in when the job is done.

Away from the Threat Eliminations Ground building, we see the other four Hishaku members, including the one fans call “Worst Jeanist” (a play on My Hero Academia’s Best Jeanist), that did not join the infiltration just sitting down in couches.

One member was snoring but Jeanist tells him to be quiet, while another Hishaku member yawns.

A female Hishaku member remarks that yawning is a sign of stress.

Yura passes by and talks to an old man in a reception desk, asking where he could wash his hands.

Yura also mentions passing by some Kamunabi employees yet they all went into hiding, which they were instructed to do anyway.

So, Yura wonders if the receptionist has a death wish for not hiding.

The old man says that he is at an age where a death wish isn’t necessary and thought he could at least take a glance at the people who managed to murder Kunishige Rokuhira.

Yura asks how he feels after seeing them but the old man says that at his age, it is rare for him to be surprised and he was expecting the assassins to be monsters yet he notes that the Hishaku, while more capable than the average villains, are still just as ordinary.

Like Azami, the old man initially thought the Hishaku were ghosts but now he sees that they are nothing more than a cunning ragtag bunch who are good at running and hiding, almost like the Hishaku are trying to escape from something.

Yura brings out a coin for a coin toss. If he wins, the old man will show him the way to the restroom.

If the old man wins, the man will take his life.

The old man is confused but Yura says that since he is the tentative main culprit of the assassination of Kunishige, the old man will achieve success in his final years of life.

The old man asks why Yura would do this, with Yura saying that while the Hishaku all bet their lives on the line, Yura would like to do so taking care of bodily business first (going to the toilet).

This is a scene ripped out of “No Country for Old Men” where the serial killer and hitman, Anton Chigurh, uses a coin toss to determine whether or not he (or fate as he sees it) will spare the gas station owner.

While the stakes are different, the point remains the same.

Yura flips the coin and covers with his hand, with the old man choosing Tails.

The old man loses because it is Heads.

In the movie, the gas station proprietor chose Heads, which spared his life.

Yura remarks that God or fate is on his side and thus his life is spared.

Notice his eye is shaded similarly to the Sword Saint.

That or it shows Yura’s emotion here, which might be a lot darker than joy at being spared.

The old man points Yura to the restroom and asks who the Hishaku are.

Yura asks if the old man’s expectations have been met.

The young, emo-looking Hishaku joins Yura, who notes the young man being nervous.

The Hishaku asks if Yura feels nervous himself.

Yura says that he does, especially thinking he could have died today but he says that worrying about such things is a waste.

Yura calls the young man the “strongest” among the Hishaku, which is interesting since Yura is the leader and there were three Hishaku, said to be the strongest of the group, responsible for Kunishige’s death.

We met two of them, the Pine Sorcerer and the one dressed as a Samurai.

Is this young man the third.

In the lobby, Jeanist remarks that Kamunabi Headquarters is now in a chaotic frenzy, which gives them a small gap to sneak into but since there is no set coordination for a go signal, they are most likely going to have to move suddenly.

The sleepy Hishaku says that is what he is hoping for.

Yura counts down to 10 seconds, with one of the barrier sorcerers noticing something.

Izaru checks on the man but, realizing something is off, he throws the man back with his Sorcery.

However, it is too late as we see a double page spread of the five Hishaku, led by Yura, emerging behind Hakuri.

Jeanist is the teleporter responsible.

Uruha glances behind him and Hakuri notes the emblem on their hands, surprised to see many Hishaku in one spot.

Uruha assures Hakuri that he is far from unarmed as if you recall, Enchanted Blade owners lose their Sorcery upon making the Lifelong Contract.

However, with the Lifelong Contract gone, Uruha’s veins for Sorcery have returned to their original shape after nearly 20 years.

The chapter ends with Uruha making his hand sign.

Editor’s note: “After losing the Kumeyuri, his original sorcery is now…”

Kagurabachi Chapter 88 will be released on July 28, 2025.
