What to expect from Sakamoto Days chapter 223 (speculative)?
Sakamoto Days chapter 223 will likely continue the battle between Oki and Nagumo, as the two clash over their ideals. Their respective groups may also join the fight, which could lead to match-ups such as Torres and Tanabata vs Shishiba and Osaragi.

Sakamoto Days chapter 222 recap
Sakamoto Days chapter 222, titled The Battle Begins, kicked off with a vision inside Sakamoto’s head, where the protagonist found himself in an empty white space. He was soon transported to a moving train, with Rion seated next to him. Unsure of what was happening, Sakamoto asked his friend where he was.
The scene then shifted back to the real world, where Nagumo approached Oki at a vending machine. The two engaged in a brief conversation, during which Nagumo asked Oki how his relationship with Uzuki was, and Oki responded that the antagonist was far from approachable.
Oki then remembered that Nagumo, Sakamoto, and Uzuki were classmates in the past and called them a rowdy bunch. Their chat soon turned serious, as Oki invited Nagumo to rejoin the Order. At the same time, Nagumo asked Oki to team up.
The new leader of the Order instantly turned down the offer since he was bound by duty, though he realized that Nagumo was displeased with them working with Uzuki. The two of them then moved to the rooftop parking, where Nagumo warned Oki that the new JAA would lose in the upcoming battle since he and Sakamoto wouldn’t be on their team.
Inside the car, Oki called Nagumo arrogant and revealed that he had wanted Nagumo to lead the Order one day. He then drove his vehicle off the roof, and as it fell, both assassins exchanged fearsome blows. The car then crashed into the ground, resulting in a large explosion.
Chapter 222 ended with Oki and Nagumo, both of whom had sustained minor injuries, entering a cafe and ordering the house blend.
