A brief summary of Sakamoto Days chapter 116

In the previous chapter, Higuchi explaned why he had been saving up virtue points. He recounted an incident from five years ago when he disposed of garbage in a trash can. The next day, all his fellow assassins died on a mission except for him. This correlation convinced him that accumulating good karma could earn the favor of the Gods of Killing. Since then, he has advanced from being a third-rate assassin by eliminating people he considers trash.

Meanwhile, Higuchi's partner, Koba, appeared to prevent Rion and others from escaping by blocking the tunnel. Rion attempted to attack him but failed and instead started feeling the effects of gas poisoning. The assassin explained that everyone would die within ten minutes. Upon discovering Koba's use of lethal gas, Sakamoto decided to expedite the deal with Higuchi and go rescue his friends.

Sakamoto, upon learning how Koba uses lethal gas, decided to end his fight with Higuchi and go save them. Higuchi became frightened by Sakamoto's immense power and tried to earn some karma points by clearing the road.

At that moment, a car was on the verge of falling into the river because the bridge was destroyed. Sakamoto saved the couple in the car by using fishing lines to guide the vehicle across the broken bridge. The chapter concluded with Sakamoto requesting a ride from the couple since his friends needed help.
