What Can We Expect in Chapter 53?
Now, let’s get to the juicy stuff—the spoilers and predictions! If you’re caught up with Chapter 52, you already know that things are heating up big time. But if you’re not caught up yet, be warned: SPOILERS AHEAD!
Recap of Chapter 52
In the previous chapter, we saw Chihiro facing off against Hirohiko, and let me tell you, it was INTENSE. Chihiro is slowly evolving into a darker version of himself, especially after the whole ordeal with the Hishaku organization. That kid is out for blood, and honestly, who can blame him?

We also got a bit of background info on the Hishaku, which really sets the stage for what’s to come. These guys are no joke—they wiped out Kunishige Rokuhira, the wielder of the Cloud Gouger, and stole some serious weapons, including the Enchanted Blades. Chihiro and his trusty sword Nishiki are now on a mission to take these guys down, and it seems like nothing is going to stop him.
But what really caught my attention in Chapter 52 was Hirohiko’s weird obsession with Chihiro. This dude sees something in Chihiro—some sort of kindred spirit—and it’s creepy as hell. He tried to form some sort of connection with Chihiro, only to get absolutely shut down. And honestly? Good for Chihiro. Like, who wants to be friends with a murderous psycho?
Predictions and Theories for Chapter 53
So, what’s going to happen in Chapter 53? Well, if I had to guess, we’re definitely going to see more of this battle between Chihiro and Hirohiko. But I think we’re also going to see Chihiro dive deeper into his darker side. I mean, the guy’s on a revenge mission, and he’s not exactly playing by the rules anymore.
- Chihiro’s Descent Into Darkness: Chihiro’s transformation is one of the most interesting things about this series right now. He’s been through so much, and he’s no longer the innocent kid we met in the earlier chapters. I wouldn’t be surprised if Chapter 53 shows him making some morally questionable decisions. Maybe he’ll even start to question whether he’s becoming just like the people he’s trying to take down.

Hirohiko’s Plan: Hirohiko is still a bit of a mystery. In Chapter 52, he tried to bond with Chihiro, but what’s his endgame? Is he trying to recruit Chihiro to the dark side, or does he have some sort of twisted admiration for him? Either way, I think we’re going to learn more about his motivations in the next chapter.
-
More Info on the Hishaku: I’m also hoping we get more information on the Hishaku organization in Chapter 53. These guys are clearly the big bads of the series, and I feel like we’ve only scratched the surface of what they’re capable of. Maybe we’ll even get introduced to some new members of the organization, which would make things even more interesting.
-
A New Ally or Enemy? With the way things are going, I wouldn’t be surprised if a new character shows up in Chapter 53. Whether they’re an ally or enemy remains to be seen, but I’m all for it. The more, the merrier (or deadlier, in this case).
What I’m Feeling About This Upcoming Chapter
Honestly, I’m PUMPED for this chapter. The last few chapters have been building up to something big, and I think Chapter 53 is going to deliver. The stakes are higher than ever, and I’m just dying to see where Chihiro goes from here. Will he fully embrace his darker side, or will he find a way to stay true to himself despite everything he’s been through?

And can we just talk about the art for a second? Hokazono Takeru is absolutely killing it with the visuals. The fight scenes are brutal, but they’re also beautifully drawn. You can feel the tension in every panel, and Chapter 53 is bound to give us more of that.
Where Does Kagurabachi Stand in the Shonen Jump Lineup?
I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter about Kagurabachi being the next big thing in Weekly Shonen Jump, and honestly, I can see it. My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen have wrapped up, and fans are looking for something fresh to sink their teeth into. While Kagurabachi isn’t at the level of those series just yet, it’s definitely on its way.
The manga’s first volume is set to release in English this November, which is a great indicator of how well it’s doing. If the sales are good, we could be looking at Kagurabachi becoming one of the flagship titles of Shonen Jump. And, let’s be real, if they ever adapt this into an anime, it’s going to blow up even more.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. Kagurabachi Chapter 53 is right around the corner, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. This manga has been such a pleasant surprise, and it’s only getting better with each chapter. If you’re not caught up yet, now’s the time to jump on the bandwagon because things are about to get CRAZY.
Make sure you’re ready when Chapter 53 drops on October 13, 2024, and let me know your thoughts and predictions in the comments. Are you as hyped as I am? What do you think is going to happen next? I’d love to hear your theories.
Until next time, keep your swords sharp and your manga collection sharper. Kagurabachi is just getting started, and I’m here for every single chapter.
