Recap of Sakamoto Days Chapter 188

Chapter 188 culminated in Sakamoto’s fifth loss against Torres after yet another showdown. Torres, a formidable member of the new Order, expressed his frustration, emphasizing the need for Sakamoto to eliminate certain targets to raise his bounty before finishing him off. Despite this, Sakamoto remained singularly focused on Torres, even proposing that Torres train him to enhance his skills.

However, Torres doubted his ability to assist Sakamoto, viewing him as no real threat and criticizing his unorthodox fighting style, which relied on improvised weapons rather than specialized tools. As they wandered around, they encountered Aoi, who extended a dinner invitation to Torres. Surprisingly, Sakamoto welcomed the prospect, believing Torres would refrain from attack due to a lack of incentive.

Torres was taken aback by this hospitality and marveled at Aoi’s culinary skills, alongside Hana’s adeptness at crafting paper airplanes. His astonishment grew as he witnessed Sakamoto showcasing similar cooking talents, prompting him to question Sakamoto’s earlier reticence in revealing such abilities.

The final scenes transitioned to JAA prison, where Shin learned of Tenkyu’s malicious plan to provoke Sakamoto by threatening his wife and daughter. Enraged by this revelation, Shin confronted Tenkyu and expressed his readiness to violate the Sakamoto family’s longstanding rule against killing in order to eliminate Tenkyu.

Anticipations for Sakamoto Days Chapter 189

As we look forward to chapter 189, speculation suggests a focal point on Tenkyu’s realization that he has been misled regarding Shin’s identity as an ally of Sakamoto rather than a fortune teller. This twist could incite Tenkyu to attempt an attack on Shin, setting the stage for a significant showdown.

Furthermore, there’s potential for Torres to play a crucial role in aiding Sakamoto to develop a distinctive fighting style, perhaps fusing his culinary flair with combat techniques. The imaginative notion of Sakamoto wielding kitchen utensils—woks, chopsticks, and more—as weapons could offer a fresh and engaging element to upcoming battles.
