Kagurabachi Chapter 43 Summary
Kagurabachi Chapter 43, titled Fulfill, begins with Chihiro Rokuhira preparing to transfer her spiritual energy into each prisoner inside Kyora Sazanami's collapsing Storage Warehouse. This allows Hakuri to transport them to safety. Meanwhile, Shiba and Hiyuki worry about Chihiro's fate.
Hakuri, observing Kyora's condition, realizes that the Warehouse is only held together by Kyora's will. If Kyora's resolve wavers, the Warehouse will collapse, endangering everyone inside. In the auction hall, Shinuchi's deadly flowers create chaos, forcing the Kamunabi mages to consider fleeing for their lives.
Kyora, in the midst of the chaos, recalls his late wife's words urging him to end the Rakuzaichi Auction in Kagurabachi Chapter 43. She believes that the auction had an inhumane effect on him and the Sazanami family. He quickly dismisses these thoughts as he remembers his father, slamming the gavel on the podium once more.
While Kyora fights to maintain control, Shiba realizes that the magus' obsession with the auction is what is preventing Shinuchi from taking over completely. Kyora, determined to continue the auction, urges the audience to remove her threats in exchange for money.
Meanwhile, Hakuri is completely focused on rescuing the prisoners from the vault, which is guarded by Hiyuki. Hakuri, remembering the Girl with the Ice Skin, refuses to let anyone die under her watch again in Kagurabachi Chapter 4 3. With great effort and determination, Chihiro and Hakuri successfully move all the prisoners out of the Warehouse.
Outside, Kyora reflects on his mistakes, realizing that his fault was not in upholding tradition, but in not trusting Hakuri. He recalls his battle with Chihiro and admits that he should have trusted his son. As Shinuchi's flowers engulf him, Kyora laments that he is the only one in the Sazanami family who cannot complete his mission.
Chihiro reappears in the auction room just as Kyora succumbs to Shinuchi's flowers. Until the very end, Kyora retains his pride and faith, dying as a man who lived for the Rakuzaichi auction. Kagurabachi Chapter 4 3 ends with Kyora being devoured by Shinuchi's flowers.
