Sakamoto Days Chapter 177 Recap

Kindaka was amazed in the previous episode when he discovered that he had been in a coma for eight years. It was truly miraculous that he had woken up. However, the most astonishing revelation for him was that Uzuki, who had always been a reserved boy, was now causing chaos in the JAA.

Nagumo handed Kindaka a shocking hospital bill totaling 1.5 billion yen, which he had been paying for on Kindaka’s behalf. Understanding the urgent need to make money, Kindaka made the decision to take on a few bounty hunting jobs.

As he perused the list of marks, he was surprised to come across Sakamoto’s picture, with a reward of one billion yen for his capture. Kindaka couldn’t believe how much weight Sakamoto had put on since their last encounter, making him almost unidentifiable. Additionally, due to his size, Kindaka assumed Sakamoto would be an effortless target to take down.

On a blazing hot day, Sakamoto, Shin, and Heisuke trained relentlessly to improve their strength. Despite their efforts, Sakamoto remained uncertain about how to become stronger without a mentor to guide him.

At this moment, Kindaka came rushing towards them with great speed, causing chaos in his wake. Despite having been bedridden for a period of time, he still felt that he was not at his best.

Sakamoto successfully alerted Shin and Heisuke to remain vigilant of Kindaka, but he was caught off guard and subsequently knocked off his feet by a clothesline from Kindaka, sending him flying.

Shin attempted to utilize his recently obtained telepathic abilities against Kindaka, but Kindaka’s swiftness enabled him to avoid the attack. Heisuke, relying on his instincts, attempted to anticipate Kindaka’s actions but narrowly failed.

The ongoing fight between Sakamoto and Kindaka brought them to the roof of a train in motion. Despite his doubts, Kindaka pushed himself even further as he still couldn’t believe that the man standing before him was his old acquaintance Sakamoto. In order to convince him, Sakamoto used all his energy to burn off excess calories. Eventually, Kindaka came to the realization of his error.

Sakamoto concluded the chapter by announcing that he had discovered the ideal master.
