What to expect from Sakamoto Days chapter 224 (speculative)?
Sakamoto Days chapter 224 will likely continue focusing on Nagumo and Oki’s confrontation, as the two fight in the open street along with their special weapons. The chapter will likely also follow Torres and Gozu’s meeting with Shiina and her brother, where the assassins may pose a test to the newest members of the JAA.
Since the series had abruptly stopped Sakamoto’s vision, where he had met Rion, fans will also be hoping to gain a glimpse into the conversation between the old friends.
Sakamoto Days chapter 223 recap
Sakamoto Days chapter 223, titled Conceited, picks up right from the previous installment, where Oki and Nagumo briefly clashed and ended up taking a seat at a cafe. Just as the house blend they ordered was placed in front of them, the two continued their battle, with Nagumo throwing a fork at Oki and kicking him.
The Order’s leader blocked these and criticized Nagumo for not allowing him to drink his coffee. In a hilarious scene, Nagumo then asked Oki to pay the bill, after which both assassins broke out of the cafe and fought each other in mid-air. Oki refused to pick up the tab, and they decided that the survivor of their fight would pay.
The intensity of their confrontation then rose, as Oki attacked Nagumo using his naginata and was blocked by the six-function knife. As they finally landed on the street, Oki told Nagumo not to get conceited about their value to the JAA, and that new assassins with killing talent were already being recruited.
Sakamoto Days then shifted the scene and began introducing the new cast members. Firstly, when random civilians started shouting at a policeman due to the rising crime rates, the officer shot them without hesitation. The man expressed that he had become a cop to shoot a gun, but it had become pointless since killing had been made legal.
Just as he wondered why he had been scouted by the new JAA, a mother who had covered her face and was strolling with her baby was screamed at by a man due to her crying child. She apologized and beheaded him using a knife, while the baby started laughing at the sight of blood.
Finally, at the Kyoto Kansai Killing Academy, a girl named Shiina and her brother were scouted by the new JAA and parted with their friends. Right when the siblings were talking about making a name for themselves in Tokyo, they were approached by their new mentors, Torres and Gozu.
