The dark-haired protagonist’s speed rendered Yui and Kou ineffective, so Sojo chooses to utilize lightning as a sucker punch. The Mafia Boss then takes a chance in Kagurabachi chapter 17, speeding up the use of his genryoku, which reduced his six-second remaining time to down-seconds.

In order to decapitate Chihiro, he intended to accept this risk and cover himself with twice as much Genryoku as possible. He fails to see the swing, though, as the main character uses Nishiki to avoid it.

The next section of the chapter finds Chihiro reflecting on his father’s remarks on the Enchanted Blades, specifically that they are ultimately instruments of destruction. Deep down, Kunishige understood the swords he created weren’t the right solution for the planet.

Nevertheless, he preferred that his kid not take his statements at face value but rather experience the world with his own eyes. Chihiro understands that this planet cannot support the Enchanted Blades.

Chihiro intended to kill Cloud Gouger with even more malicious purpose once Sojo noticed that he had a deadly aura. Then, according to spoilers for Kagurabachi chapter 17, he chops off Sojo’s arm.

Then, with only a second left, Chihiro wrapped himself with three times his body’s maximum Genryoku capacity in order to unleash a huge Kuro. He broke the Cloud Gouger and slashed down Sojo as the chapter came to an end.
