Kagurabachi Vol. 8

Chihiro survives his encounter with Samura and learns that the swordsman erased his daughter’s memories before abandoning her. When the Hishaku begin targeting Iori, Chihiro and the Masumi move her to the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel, a fortified refuge populated by skilled combatants. Iori initially resists recovering the life she has forgotten, fearing that the truth will destroy the ordinary identity she values.

The hotel is attacked by Hishaku operatives Kuguri and Toto. Kuguri’s obsession with swordsmanship draws him into battle with Chihiro, while Toto uses blood-based tracking to locate Iori. As violence overwhelms the refuge, Iori’s instincts and memories of the Iai White Purity Style begin resurfacing, revealing that her connection to Samura cannot remain buried.
