The time has come for our heroes to move from the defensive! In chapter 222 of Sakamoto Days, we finally see the counterattack taking shape—and what shape it is! Nagumo faces Oki in a sharp fight, while Sakamoto faces a true battle for survival. It's the kind of chapter that changes the pace of the story and keeps us on the edge of our seats. Will the pieces finally start to turn now?
First of all, let's summarize what happened in the last chapter. Shin manages to get Sakamoto's heart beating again, and everyone is saved by Grandma Miya.
On the other hand, Shishiba and Nagumo had a plan together, but Nagumo ends up putting his life at risk, causing a fight. However, they both end up reconciling just to kill Slur.
What to expect from the next chapter of Sakamoto Days?
Now, based on the spoilers released, we see Sakamoto in a sort of afterlife. There, he ends up meeting the real Akao and they talk. On the other hand, we see Nagumo and Oki meeting casually.
Thus, the two killers talk and stroll together, but begin killing each other as they get into the car. In the end, we see them in a restaurant talking again, but both wounded.
