Kagurabachi Chapter 130 is finally here, and this is undoubtedly one of the most important installments since Part 2 of this manga began. With Chiaki's fate being decided by others, Akemura restrained by the Soga Clan, the Datenseki smelting process coming to an end, and the most important scene where Chiaki got to reunite with Kunishige, it looked like this chapter finally started to tie up several major plotlines together.

Interestingly, this installment started with Japan accepting the demands made by the Mikaboshi. It is now confirmed that they will be handing over Chiaki at Airashima on April 1 at noon. Currently, this story is taking place on March 29, so this means that the handover date is dangerously close.

The ongoing situation is even more disturbing when it is revealed that Akemura has been restrained by the Soga Clan. There are tears running down his face as he is helpless to stop what is about to happen to Chiaki. Turns out that the clan has planned to use a forbidden technique on her. Basically, it is a form of anesthesia that will end up paralyzing someone's sense of self and turning them into an obedient individual.

The justification for choosing to go through with it is that they want to prevent her from experiencing any cruelty that she might have to endure after being handed over to the Mikaboshi. This is a really heartbreaking part of Kagurabachi Chapter 130. Chiaki's world is crumbling in front of her, and yet she continues to remain strong just so she can save the people she cares about.

It is important to note how the Soga clan has been acting ever since Chiaki was chosen to be handed over. Using the forbidden technique sounds shady, even if they are hiding it by saying that it is for her own good. Their actions don't justify the means, and it might make the readers question this clan's morality.

Kagurabachi Chapter 130 shifts towards the Sorcery Bureau as they are trying to get control over the Datenseki crisis. Turns out that the communication was lost after the manufacturing incident. This ended up causing major concern among the Bureau members. But among everyone, Izaru believes that the lack of communication could be because of Datenseki itself.

Because there was no massive explosion or any incident, he started to wonder if Masumi might have completed their mission. They finally get an answer when a Masumi member returns; they explain that the fire has been put out and there were no casualties.

Then comes the biggest surprise in Kagurabachi Chapter 130 when Kunishige and Shiba suddenly arrive at the estate. Shiba is severely injured after pushing himself to the limit, while Kunishige finds himself surrounded and confused by the situation.

They did this for Chiaki, and she suddenly sees Kunishige standing before her. Memories of everything she has endured flash through her mind, but she refuses to let herself break. She rushes toward Kunishige and throws herself into his arms. After finally seeing him again, Chiaki breaks down in tears and admits that she wanted to see him.

But Kagurabachi Chapter 130 saves another massive development for its ending. The Datenseki has finally been successfully processed. From the bottom of the collapsed furnace, tamahagane created from raw Datenseki is recovered.

In the end, the final narration ominously asks what exactly has been brought into the world, strongly suggesting that the long-awaited creation of the enchanted blades may finally be approaching.
