Kagurabachi Chapter 125 shows Kunishige Rokuhira starting the process of forging the first Enchanted Blade. The latest chapter continues the flashback arc about the Seitei War, revealing how the legendary swords were created.
The manga has been focusing on the origin story of the Enchanted Blades, explaining the events that changed the world before Chihiro Rokuhira entered the main story. Chapter 125 shows Kunishige’s efforts to forge the Enchanted Blades to level the playing field against the Mikaboshi clan.
Kunishige got involved with the Datenseki after it became clear that his plans for the Enchanted Blades were the only way to stand against the powerful sorcerers. His goal is to save Princess Chiaki, who may be Chihiro’s mother, from being sacrificed.
What Happens in Chapter 125
Kunishige takes a major step forward in the forging process during Chapter 125. He successfully melts down the Datenseki and purifies its steel, which marks one of the key steps in creating the Enchanted Blades.
The chapter shows the beginning of the forging process for the first Enchanted Blade. This moment is important because these weapons later play a huge role in the Seitei War and the overall story of Kagurabachi.
The story also continues the political tension from previous chapters. Readers saw Giyu Soga becoming the new clan head after his brother Hiroto’s death. Giyu is determined to surpass his brother and attain Kurotsuchi.
Chiaki decides to surrender to the Mikaboshi clan, which makes Akemura angry. He cannot watch his sister being sacrificed and continues giving death stares to Giyu for sacrificing his sister. The chapter ends with Akemura showing his talent while Chiaki tries to hold him back.
The Background of the Enchanted Blades
The Enchanted Blades were created by Kunishige Rokuhira during the Seitei War. He forged six powerful blades that played a key role in Japan’s victory. These weapons amplified the spirit energy within their wielders, creating potent shapes made of concentrated spirit energy for attacks.
After the war, Kunishige hid the blades in his basement with help from trusted members of the Kamunabi. Later, he forged a seventh blade called Enten. The Hishaku later attacked his home, killed him, and stole six of the blades.
The forging process shown in Chapter 125 is set 18 years before the main story. The Seitei War was waged and concluded during this time.

Chapter 124 Recap
Chapter 124, titled “Powerless,” built tension without any major fights. The heroes looked genuinely trapped for the first time. The enemy’s ultimatum about Chiaki and the Soga clan’s future could not be solved through strength alone.
The political situation has limited the options available to the characters. The entire fanbase seems focused on one question: whether the Soga clan will actually surrender. Many readers believe the current negotiations hide something bigger.
The series has been building pressure on the protagonists, limiting their options, and creating apparent hopelessness. This pattern suggests a major development is coming.
Kagurabachi continues to deliver intense storytelling through this flashback arc. Chapter 125 shows the moment when everything changed, as Kunishige begins forging the weapons that would define the series.
