If you're anything like me—an anime and manga-loving tech nerd who spends more time in front of a computer than is probably healthy—you’re probably on the edge of your seat for the release of Kagurabachi Chapter 55. I mean, let’s be real. This series has been a wild ride so far. We’ve got sorcerers, enchanted blades, and a protagonist who’s on a vengeance quest that has us all hooked. And now, as we approach Chapter 55, the hype is real, my friends. Kagurabachi is shaping up to be one of those manga that you stay awake at night thinking about. You know the kind: the ones that make you wish you could read Japanese fluently so you wouldn’t have to wait for translations!
So, what do we know about Chapter 55? Release dates? Spoilers? Rumors? I’ve done a deep dive across the web to pull together everything you need to know, and I’m here to break it down for you. Get comfy, grab a cup of coffee (or tea, no judgment), and let's dive into all the juicy details.
When is Kagurabachi Chapter 55 Dropping?
Okay, first things first—when can you actually read Chapter 55? Good news, folks! Kagurabachi Chapter 55 is set to release on October 27, 2024, at 8 AM PT. Seriously, mark your calendars, set a reminder on your phone, or heck, tie a string around your finger if that’s your thing. Just don’t miss it, alright?
One of the best parts? There’s no break week, so we’re not left hanging in suspense for longer than necessary. I honestly hate when manga takes those random break weeks right when things are getting intense. But not this time! We’re getting our new chapter right on schedule, and I couldn’t be more stoked.
If you’re wondering where to read it, you can check it out for free on the Viz Media website and the Shonen Jump app. They usually offer the latest chapter along with the previous two for free. If you’re behind, though, you’ll need to subscribe to access the earlier chapters. But hey, with all the other great manga on Viz, it’s worth it, trust me.

So, you’ve got a couple of options here. As I mentioned, the most legit (read: legal) way to read Kagurabachi is through Viz Media or the Shonen Jump app. The cool part about this is that the latest three chapters are usually free, which means if you’ve been keeping up, you’re golden. But if you’re like me and sometimes get way too caught up in other things (cough binge-watching anime cough), you might need to catch up on a few chapters. For that, you’ll need a subscription, but it’s only a couple of bucks a month, and you get access to a ton of other awesome series. So, win-win, right?
If you want to read it as soon as it drops, here’s a quick breakdown of when Chapter 55 will release in different time zones:
- Pacific Time (PT): 8:00 AM
- Eastern Time (ET): 11:00 AM
- British Time (BST): 4:00 PM
- Central European Time (CET): 5:00 PM
- Japan Standard Time (JST): 12:00 AM (October 28th)
So depending on where you are in the world, you might be reading it with your morning coffee or as a late-night snack. Either way, get ready for some epicness.
Spoilers for Kagurabachi Chapter 55?

Alright, this is where things get spicy. Let’s talk spoilers. Now, full disclosure, Kagurabachi isn’t exactly as spoiler-heavy as some other ongoing series (cough One Piece cough), but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some juicy tidbits to chew on.
Flashback to Chapter 54
Before diving into predictions for Chapter 55, let’s quickly recap Chapter 54, because it was a doozy. The chapter titled "Friendship" was a mix of intense action and some unexpected humor (looking at you, Yura, riding a toy horse like it’s no big deal). We saw Chihiro—our main dude—continuing his battle against the Hishaku, a group of sorcerers who have been giving him and his allies a run for their money.
Chihiro character design
The highlight of Chapter 54 was the dynamic between Chihiro and Hiruhiko, a Hishaku sorcerer. Their banter and conflicting views on protecting the innocent gave a lot of emotional depth to the battle. Chihiro’s determination to minimize collateral damage, even while dealing with life-or-death situations, really sets him apart from your run-of-the-mill revenge-driven protagonist. I mean, the guy’s got heart, and that’s why we love him, right?
The chapter ended with Senkutsuji Temple under siege and Chihiro receiving some unsettling news about the Hishaku’s plans to target the enchanted blade contract holders. Basically, things are heating up in a major way.
Predictions for Chapter 55

Now, let’s talk about what might go down in Chapter 55. Based on where we left off, I’d say we’re in for another action-packed chapter. We know that Yura and his gang aren’t going to back down easily. They’ve already sent forces to attack Senkutsuji Temple, and I think we’re about to see some major confrontations there.
One of the biggest questions going into Chapter 55 is how Chihiro and his allies are going to handle these new threats. There’s also a lot of speculation about how Shiba—another powerful sorcerer in Chihiro’s corner—will factor into the upcoming battles. Shiba’s been painted as a bit of a wildcard, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see some major reveals about his backstory or abilities in this chapter.
Another thing to keep an eye on is Hiruhiko. His emotional immaturity was a big talking point in Chapter 54, and I think we’re going to see some character development there. Maybe he’ll realize that his loyalty to Yura isn’t as unwavering as he thought. Or maybe he’ll double down and become even more dangerous. Either way, his dynamic with Chihiro is definitely something to watch.
And let’s talk about Yura, because this guy is just full of contradictions. On one hand, he’s this powerful leader of the Hishaku, but on the other, he’s riding a toy horse like he’s got no cares in the world. It’s almost like he’s underestimating Chihiro and the crew, and we all know that’s a big mistake in this kind of story. I’m betting we’ll see Yura get a little more serious in Chapter 55, especially as the stakes continue to rise.
Personal Thoughts: Why Kagurabachi is Heating Up
Kagurabachi art style
I’ve got to be honest—Kagurabachi wasn’t on my radar when it first started, but it’s quickly become one of my weekly must-reads. There’s something about the combination of sorcery, swordsmithing, and good old-fashioned revenge that just hits the spot. And the pacing? Chef’s kiss. It’s been fast enough to keep me hooked but not so fast that I feel like I’m missing key character development.
One of the things I’ve really appreciated about Kagurabachi is how it balances action with emotional stakes. Sure, the fight scenes are awesome, but it’s the quieter moments, like Chihiro reflecting on his past or grappling with the morality of his quest, that really elevate the series for me. It’s not just about cutting down bad guys—it’s about why he’s doing it and what it’s costing him.
And can we talk about the art for a second? I’m a sucker for good art, and Kagurabachi delivers. The character designs are detailed, the action sequences are dynamic, and the way the enchanted blades are drawn? Chef’s kiss again. I mean, I could frame half these panels and hang them on my wall.
Why You Should Be Excited for Chapter 55
Look, if you’re not already hyped for Chapter 55, let me spell it out for you: we’re in for some serious action, more character development, and probably a few surprises along the way. With Yura’s forces closing in on Senkutsuji Temple, Chihiro and his allies are going to have to pull out all the stops to protect the innocent and keep the enchanted blades out of enemy hands.
There’s also the looming question of what Yura’s next move will be. He’s been a bit of an enigma so far, and I think Chapter 55 is going to give us more insight into his motivations and what he’s really after. Is he just a power-hungry villain, or is there more to his story? I can’t wait to find out.
And let’s not forget about Hiruhiko. His character arc has been building up, and I’ve got a feeling that Chapter 55 is going to be a turning point for him. Will he continue to follow Yura blindly, or will his interactions with Chihiro make him question his loyalties? I’m here for it either way.
Final Thoughts: The Countdown Begins
With just a few days to go until the release of Kagurabachi Chapter 55, the excitement is building. Whether you’re in it for the sword fights, the sorcery, or the emotional depth, there’s something for everyone in this series. Personally, I’m counting down the days until I can dive back into Chihiro’s world and see how the next chapter unfolds.
So, what do you think is going to happen in Chapter 55? Do you have any wild predictions, or are you just along for the ride like me? Let me know your thoughts! And if you’re not caught up yet, what are you waiting for? Now’s the perfect time to binge the series before the next chapter drops.
Alright, I’m off to re-read the last few chapters in preparation. See you on October 27th, fellow manga readers. Let the countdown begin!
