Sakamoto Days Chapter 157 recap

The previous chapter opened with Shin making the statement that there were no rules when it came to killing. However, Haruma calmly disagreed, stating that adhering to sports rules was crucial for him. He believed that without these rules, it would be unjust to his opponents. He took their current battle as an example and pointed out the vast differences between them in terms of physique, athletic prowess, talent for killing, and charm.

Then, Haruma broke off the head of a nearby statue and kicked it toward Shin in penalty kick style. The target was not just Shin, but also the innocent civilians who had not managed to escape the museum. Left with no other option, Shin was forced to act as the goalkeeper and confront the flying head directly, but he could not stop it.

Haruma then detached another statue head, transforming it into a bowling ball with Shin as the pin. The impact of the ball sent Shin flying. Haruma, judging by his position, figured that the next game should be American football. The touchdown resulted in Shin plummeting through the floor to the level below, and then, with another hit, into a pool.

But Sakamoto was counting on Shin, so he stood right back up and then accused Haruma of not playing a fair game as he was putting innocent lives at risk. He then invited Haruma to a sumo wrestling match.

In Sakamoto Days Chapter 158, readers will be looking forward to the sumo wrestling match between Shin and Haruma. However, the source of Shin's confidence to even propose such a challenge remains a mystery. Regardless, it will surely be something worth looking forward to, as Yuto Suzuki's unexpected plot twists have never failed to entertain.

Meanwhile, other characters such as Sakamoto, Amane, Shishiba, Carolina Reaper, Kumanomi, Uzuki, Asaki, and Nagumo were overlooked in the previous chapter. Fans will be hoping for a quick update on these characters.
