The tension in Sakamoto Days has never been higher. The JAA’s relentless attack on Sakamoto’s crew escalates further as a deadly sniper steps into the battlefield.
Chapter 229 showcased Heisuke’s heroic last stand, not only saving a teammate but also drawing out a powerful figure from the Order.
Now, with Kamihate entering the fray, Chapter 230 promises an intense showdown between two assassins with a tangled past — a confrontation that could shift the course of this arc.
Chapter 229, aptly titled “New Record,” delivered one of the most exhilarating moments of the series so far. After cleverly faking his death, Heisuke turned Kumonami’s magnetic ability to his advantage.
By filling his rifle with nails and scrap metal, he managed to pierce the wrestler’s supposedly bulletproof armor, wounding him critically.
In a last display of skill and resolve, Heisuke fired an astonishing 8.2 km shot, severing the cop-assassin’s hand and saving Lou from certain death. But victory came at a price — Kumonami impaled him with a signpost before he could escape.
Just when things seemed bleak, Kamihate made his entrance. The legendary sniper not only acknowledged Heisuke’s record-breaking shot but also prepared to take on Kumonami head-on.
With Kamihate now on the battlefield, Chapter 230 is shaping up to be a clash of two vastly different fighting styles:
Kamihate vs. Kumonami: Expect a tactical duel between Kamihate’s unmatched sniping accuracy and Kumonami’s close-range magnetism. Kamihate will likely try to keep his distance, forcing Kumonami to use her magnetic powers defensively while searching for an opening.
Lou’s Next Move: With the cop-assassin badly injured, Lou and Granny Miya finally gain the upper hand. This could be Lou’s defining moment as she finishes the fight and rushes to check on Sakamoto’s condition, proving her worth as a member of the team.
Heisuke’s Fate: Heisuke’s life hangs by a thread. Kumonami may use his suffering to provoke Kamihate, potentially forcing him to fight while also protecting his longtime rival. This could be the moment Kamihate reveals more about his past or shows a new side of his character.
Chapter 230 is expected to balance high-stakes action with emotional tension, setting the tone for the next phase of the JAA assault arc.
Fans won’t have to wait too long to see what happens next.
