What to expect from Sakamoto Days chapter 221 (speculative)?

Sakamoto Days chapter 221 will likely begin by showing Sakamoto’s heart working again, after which the protagonist will open his eyes. Surrounded by Shin and other allies, this will lead to a heartwarming reunion.

Following this, the group might recuperate and plan their next steps in order to tackle Uzuki. The chapter may also shift the perspective back to Uzuki and his followers, where the main antagonist is enraged at having let his targets escape.

This would most probably lead to rising tensions within the organization, potentially resulting in The Order and X’s followers from Al-Kamar splitting up.

Sakamoto Days chapter 220 recap

Sakamoto Days chapter 220, titled I Won’t Let You Die!, picks up from the shocking ending of the previous installment, where Sakamoto had been stabbed through his chest by Uzuki. As the protagonist lay on the ground, Uzuki confirmed the possibility that he may still be alive due to his strong life force.

As the villain prepared to behead Sakamoto, the fallen assassin began to reminisce about his life and loved ones. However, just before the sword cut his head off, Shin used his mind control powers to briefly halt Uzuki, allowing Kindaka to jump in between and save Sakamoto. Upon seeing his opponents, Uzuki informed them that they had arrived too late.

After hearing this, Shin looked at Sakamoto, who had seemingly passed away from his injuries. While the deuteragonist looked on in shock, Oki tried attacking him from behind. Thankfully, Boiled and Heisuke arrived in the nick of time and hit the leader of The Order with a van.

The rest of the group quickly entered the vehicle along with Sakamoto to make their getaway. Although Gozu and Kumanomi tried stopping them, Boiled and Heisuke’s combined efforts held them back, after which the van broke out of the building and landed on top of a train.

Seeing a tunnel approaching, Shin and his friends jumped into the train and left behind the van, which was eventually destroyed. Inside the train, while everyone was catching their breath, Shin looked at Sakamoto, who already appeared to be dead. When he tried desperately performing CPR, Kindaka stopped him, telling him that it was just an assassin's karma.

Nevertheless, Shin refused to accept his mentor’s death and broke down in tears. Just when all hope seemed to be lost, however, the boy remembered his mind control powers, where he could manipulate a target’s actions once. As Sakamoto’s heart had only stopped for a few seconds, Shin theorized that his brain would still be functioning.

Sakamoto Days chapter 220 ends with Shin commanding Sakamoto’s brain to make his heart work, looking on with bated breath and uncertainty.
