Sakamoto Days: A Recap of Chapter 170

In the preceding chapter, Oki mistook Sakamoto’s wife for Sakamoto himself, who was in disguise. Oki asked about Sakamoto’s location, but Sakamoto, pretending to be his wife, claimed to have no knowledge as they were not on good terms. Torres suggested abducting her to draw out Sakamoto, but Oki dismissed the idea due to the Order’s prohibition against intentionally causing harm to innocent civilians.

In that instant, Shin’s facade slipped off, revealing Torres standing behind him. Nagumo, having abandoned his own disguise, swiftly kneed Torres while Sakamoto dragged Shin away. Kamihate hesitated on whether to take a shot at them, but was cautioned against it. Oki decided to rely on Tanabata, who skillfully used his electric guitar to send powerful sound waves through the sewer, ultimately causing a sewer cover to strike Sakamoto in the face.

After inserting his guitar wire into Sakamoto’s skin, Tanabata unleashed another sound wave that shook Sakamoto to his core. Despite feeling almost paralyzed, Sakamoto’s main priority was safeguarding Hana’s cake.

Shin utilized his telepathic abilities to halt Kamihate and Osaragi, who were flanking him, in their tracks.

Oki chose not to pursue the three individuals, as he knew that impromptu fights could result in unintended consequences.

At that moment, Shin disclosed to Sakamoto and Nagumo that he had the ability to temporarily manipulate his enemies’ thoughts. Nagumo jokingly pointed out that this power appeared to be too convenient and could potentially have negative consequences, such as Shin sacrificing a year of his life every time he used it.

After arriving at Sakamoto’s house, they found that the cake intended for Hana had been destroyed. Sakamoto, feeling defeated, was unable to give it to her, resulting in Nagumo being the one to enjoy it. Upon reflecting on the situation, Sakamoto came to the realization that his presence was now a threat to his family, despite his efforts to protect them. As a result, he made the decision to distance himself from them.

In chapter 171 of Sakamoto Days, it is expected that Sakamoto will struggle with the realization that he is now responsible for putting his family in danger. However, completely cutting ties with them and becoming a fugitive is certainly not the answer.

There is a small chance that he may team up with Uzuki in the future to overthrow the Order. Nevertheless, without revealing any details, it is difficult to anticipate what the upcoming chapter will entail.
