What to expect from Sakamoto Days chapter 218 (speculative)?
The next Sakamoto Days chapter will most likely focus on the intense battle between Uzuki and Sakamoto, revealing whether the protagonist has managed to regain his senses. Additionally, it is also possible that the Order members led by Oki will betray Uzuki, given that the antagonist has repeatedly shared his wish to kill them.
Since Uzuki’s friends from Al-Kamar are still near him, chapter 218 may feature a battle between the Order and X’s Organization. Finally, Heisuke, Kindaka, Asakura, and the rest of the cast who were with Shin before his battle with Uzuki may enter the fray, supporting Sakamoto and helping Shin and Atari escape.
Sakamoto Days chapter 217 recap
Chapter 217, titled “It Starts With Me”, picks up from where the previous installment left off, with Shin and Atari being struck by bad luck and forced to face both the Order and Uzuki’s allies. Though the situation seemed unwinnable, Shin had concocted a plan where he would use his mind-control powers against his opponents.
Aware of the restriction that it would only take effect for a brief moment and could be used only once on a person, Shin ordered everyone in front of him to attack Uzuki. This worked, as Oki, Tanabata, Kumanomi, and Gozu tried to hit Uzuki with their weapons, while Torres looked on in confusion.
As a consequence, Uzuki, who still possessed Takamura’s personality, turned his attention towards the people who had exuded blood lust towards him. While the Order and X’s Organization prepared to face their own leader, Shin decided to make a quick getaway with Atari.
Right when the deuteragonist’s plan seemed to work, however, Gozu manipulated his electricity to shock everyone, after which he smacked Uzuki on the back. This successfully brought the antagonist back to his normal self, though Kumanomi, Torres and Tanabata complained about being caught up in his maneuver.
Meanwhile, Shin and Atari had also been electrocuted, leaving them incapacitated. Uzuki moved towards the duo and expressed how he had grown tired of both Sakamoto’s team as well as the former Order members. He stated his wish to kill them all and start fresh, a sentiment that Gozu agreed with.
Immediately after, Uzuki picked up Shin with his Sword-Whip, determined to kill him. Thankfully, just in the nick of time, Sakamoto intervened, telling Uzuki to target him first. The chapter ends with Shin looking at his mentor in surprise, while Uzuki exclaims that Sakamoto is getting on his nerves.
