Sakamoto Days chapter 225, scheduled for release on August 18, 2025, is an installment that is highly anticipated by fans. Early spoilers and raw scans of the upcoming chapter have revealed Heisuke’s relentless efforts to hold back both Kumanomi and the masked assassin in battle.
In the previous installment, the main cast had begun transporting Sakamoto in an armored truck to the JCC in order to hide him from Uzuki and help him recover. On their way, however, the group encountered a masked fighter who was newly recruited by X’s Organization.
To ensure they weren’t interrupted, Heisuke jumped off the vehicle and confronted the assassin. Unfortunately, his chances of winning grew much slimmer when Kumanomi suddenly joined the battle.

Sakamoto Days chapter 225 showcases Heisuke’s struggle against Kumanomi and the masked assassin
Sakamoto Days chapter 225 begins with Lu grabbing Shin and tearfully questioning why he chose to leave behind Heisuke when his bullets didn’t work against the masked fighter. Nevertheless, Shin decides to believe in Heisuke, much like Sakamoto had chosen to trust Shin in the past.
The esper then internally prays for his friend not to die. Sakamoto Days chapter 225 then shifts to the battle, where Heisuke sees Kumanomi and instantly recognizes her as the magnet user who had killed his friend Hyo. While Kumanomi tries to leave the scene and run after Sakamoto, Heisuke shoots at her, showing his intent to hold her back.
In response, Kumanomi throws a vehicle at Heisuke and insults the sacrifice of those who had died to save him. Refocused, Heisuke cleverly shoots a bullet that deflects off the car’s wheel and breaks Kumanomi’s earring. He boldly declares that Hyo’s death wasn’t meaningless and that, to honor him, he would spend the rest of his life happily in the company of his comrades.
This greatly angers Kumanomi, but before she can make a move, the masked assassin tries to attack Heisuke by surprise. The sniper dodges and shoots at his opponent, though it fails to leave a mark. While Kumanomi starts shouting at the masked assassin to dodge the bullets, he explains his philosophy of taking all the blows as a wrestler.
He then tries doing a body slam, and while Heisuke manages to get out of the way, he is instantly punched in the face. While Heisuke is unsure of what to do against his opponent, Kumanomi joins the attack and throws various objects on the street at him. Heisuke barely escapes and, after recognizing the stakes, regains his resolve.
Sakamoto Days chapter 225 ends with Heisuke taking a moment to think about the deceased Hyo and the injured Sakamoto, after which he ingeniously shoots at the gasoline that is in front of the masked fighter. As the antagonist is set on fire and suffers immense damage, Heisuke announces that he will use all his strength to hold both assassins back.
