Instead, what actually happened is that readers got a clear picture of the complicated history of the Misaka brothers. This chapter finally gave us a reveal on why Ibuki killed his father and pushed his younger brother away from him.

In the end, we also got a surprising confrontation between Ibuki and Samura. The Kagurabachi Chapter 134 started in a different location than the previous chapter, as everyone is now at the Datenseki Research Center where the Enchanted Blade Project is ongoing. With Shiba and Ibuki making their way over there, Ichiki is left out without any explanation of what exactly happened.

Basically, Shiba and Ibuki's fight was something, but in the end, the men put the differences aside. Then, in Kagurabachi Chapter 134, we see that the story focuses a little on Natsuki, who was unconscious after fighting against his brother. He is determined to just defeat his brother, so when he finally wakes up inside the police car, the first thing he inquired about was his brother.

He learns that Ibuki has already been taken away by someone from the Sorcery Bureau. The biggest revelation in Kagurabachi Chapter 134 comes through a flashback detailing the brothers' childhood. Their father was a famous master swordsman from Kyushu who operated his own dojo and was respected by many police officers. However, he treated his own sons brutally.

Their father believed that weakness had no place in the Misaka family. Both boys were repeatedly beaten during training, with Natsuki struggling particularly badly to improve. Despite their harsh upbringing, Ibuki in Kagurabachi Chapter 134 always tried to protect his younger brother.

Ibuki once reassured Natsuki that they were strongest when they fought together. He encouraged him to take down opponents on one side while Ibuki handled the other. For Natsuki, his older brother became a hero and someone he desperately wanted to follow.

Eventually, their father's treatment became even more violent. He slashed Natsuki's face and left him close to death. Ibuki finally snapped and killed their father. However, rather than allowing Natsuki to remain by his side, Ibuki pushed him away.

He believed that because he had killed his own father, he was already on a path toward becoming a criminal. He didn't want Natsuki to follow him down that road. Natsuki, however, never viewed Ibuki as a villain. InKagurabachi Chapter 134, he continued to see him as his hero, even copying his clothing and attempting to follow in his footsteps.

In the present, Ibuki explains that he has always dealt with people he considers villains. He describes himself like a runaway motorcycle racing toward hell, killing anyone he believes deserves it. The conversation in Kagurabachi Chapter 134 takes an unexpected turn when Samura arrives.

The moment Samura sees Ibuki, he immediately draws his blade and attacks. Ibuki responds without even appearing surprised. The two simultaneously counter each other, with Samura's sword stopping beside Ibuki's neck while Ibuki's weapon reaches Samura's chin.

Neither man gains the upper hand. What is even more amusing about this battle is that Ibuki then casually uses his sorcery to light Samura's cigarette before greeting him like an old acquaintance. Samura replies that he is currently trying to quit smoking. In the end, the chapter closes with Natsuki receiving a message from Ibuki telling him that he will kill him if he follows. Instead of listening, Natsuki decides to go to Tokyo anyway.
