A quick summary of Sakamoto Days chapter 121

In the previous chapter, Sakamoto made a shocking revelation. He had attempted to kill Uzuki and believed he had succeeded. However, after eight years, Uzuki returned. Sakamoto then confessed that he felt the pain of Akao's death but remembered her final advice about having more people in his life. Now, he has a lot of people whom he cares about.

Sakamoto then explained that death could strike anyone living in the assassin world at any time. Therefore, it was crucial to stop Akira, and Sakamoto needed Shin's help in doing so.

The chapter shifted to Nagumo's visit to Kindaka in the hospital. The latter had been in a coma for eight years. Yotsumura, who was supposed to be dead, was also present. It was revealed that Nagumo had negotiated with JAA to keep Kindaka alive because he was an important witness in the Uzuki case.

On the other hand, Yotsumura shared some interesting news. Akao was the one to issue the one billion yen bounty on Sakamoto's head. Nagumo did not believe it was Akao because he had seen her dead body, but then he remembered something. The combined bounty on Higuchi and Koba's heads amounted to one billion yen. Therefore, when Sakamoto defeated them, Akao declared that he was worth a billion.

The chapter then shifted to Uzuki's hideout, where Kumanomi and Haruma arrived. Uzuki disclosed that his next move would be to destroy the Order.
