A quick summary of Sakamoto Days chapter 128
The previous chapter opened with Nagumo being informed of Hyo's death in a battle in Thailand. This visibly affected Nagumo, who reflected that it is not the talentless, but the genuinely good people who often meet their end first.
Meanwhile, Sakamoto and his companions were shown traveling in a truck towards Uzuki's warehouse. Shin received a message on his phone, probably from Heisuke, informing him that the sniper would join them shortly. However, Shin found the message odd, as it was accompanied by emojis, which was uncharacteristic of Heisuke.
When they reached the warehouse district, Shin got to work, tracking the enemy with his powers. Their objective was to arrest Uzuki and avoid as much bloodshed as possible.
Inside the warehouse where Uzuki was staying, Kashima questioned him about their plans for the future after dismantling the JAA. This conflicted with Kashima's belief, and he argued for the necessity of a new order, using JAA article 23 as an example, which stipulates that only the target can be harmed.
Uzuki agreed that, after the JAA's destruction, assassins would become an integral part of everyday life, leaving Kashima stunned, as he had thought he was pursuing divine justice by teaming up with Uzuki. The chapter ended with Akira confronting Uzuki.
What to expect from the upcoming Sakamoto Days chapter 129?
In Sakamoto Days chapter 129, readers can expect an intense confrontation between Akira and Uzuki. On the other hand, Sakamoto and his team want to avoid unnecessary violence. However, in the previous chapter, Shin probably picked up Akira's voice, leaving them with no choice but to intervene and stop her.
Sakamoto, having been an assassin and understanding the difficulty of leaving that world, has been determined to prevent Akira from getting involved. This means their original ambush plan will no longer work, and a full-scale battle might be inevitable in the upcoming installment of the series.
Details regarding what transpired between Heisuke and Kumanomi is also unclear. It is possible that Heisuke left to join Sakamoto after believing both Kumanomi and Hyo drowned, but his peculiar text message suggests there might be more to the story. Hopefull,y the details will be revealed in Sakamoto Days chapter 129.
