In the last chapter, Tenkyu expressed his belief that he, Shin, and Heisuke would form a strong camaraderie. Nonetheless, Heisuke couldn’t shake off the discomfort he felt regarding Tenkyu’s response to their encounter with the assassins. Tenkyu defended his actions, saying he had acted in self-defense to avoid being killed.

Taking clothes from one of the deceased, Tenkyu also armed Heisuke with a gun. As their journey continued, Shin warned Heisuke to avoid provoking Tenkyu, mulling over why Tenkyu’s name seemed so recognizable. The conversation grew tense when Tenkyu mentioned Sakamoto, revealing his intent to hunt down Sakamoto and his team.

Meanwhile, Kumanomi was seen informing Uzuki about Tenkyu’s location within the JAA prison, alarming Uzuki since Tenkyu was the only Al-Kamar orphan who had evolved into an unfeeling assassin, thus making him too perilous to keep alive.

Back to the trio, Shin revealed that he was aware of the notorious assassin Sakamoto. Tenkyu explained his motive to eliminate Sakamoto’s group because they posed a threat to Uzuki. He also acknowledged that he required the assistance of the JAA fortune teller, feeling he lacked the smarts to track them down independently.

Laser attacks interrupted their exchange, but Shin’s ESP helped pinpoint the hidden attacker, Laser Yamamoto. With Shin’s guidance, Tenkyu successfully neutralized this threat. As the peril subsided, Tenkyu, intrigued by Shin’s unique abilities, demanded clarification. In response, Shin unexpectedly claimed his real identity was the JAA fortune teller, cautioning Tenkyu that to reconcile with Uzuki, he needed to cease his killing ways.

What to Anticipate in Sakamoto Days Chapter 188 (Speculation)

In chapter 188 of Sakamoto Days, viewers can expect a focus on the precarious situation involving Shin and Heisuke amidst Tenkyu. The duo will need to navigate their interactions carefully, as revealing their association with Sakamoto could incite Tenkyu’s wrath, with his readiness to kill being a serious concern given his nature as an unfeeling assassin. Additionally, the narrative may return to Atari and her attempts to escape from B3 alongside her two guards on what has proven to be a rather inauspicious day.
