Thus, the old man, skillfully using his sword, succeeded in neutralizing three renowned assassins: Sakamoto, Nagumo, and Uzuki.

The fate of Uzuki's mission to eliminate Asaki, as well as Nagumo and Sakamoto's duty to take down Uzuki, remains uncertain for the time being.

Sakamoto Days chapter 165 recap
In the previous chapter of Sakamoto Days, readers saw Sakamoto taking on Takamura while Nagumo and Uzuki were severely injured and barely conscious. Despite Sakamoto not faring any better in the battle, he was quickly able to discern that Takamura had the habit of sheathing his sword after a couple of swings. However, Sakamoto was not able to capitalize on this seeming vulnerability, as he was not fast enough to stop the old man when his blade was not drawn.
Sakamoto, however, managed to not get cut by Takamura's blade as he retreated. Changing his tactic, he decided to wear down Takamura's katana. His plan worked, and the formidable blade, capable of cutting through thick walls and pillars, was dulled to such an extent that Sakamoto could stop it with his gun.
At this point, Takamura demonstrated his exceptional skills. He used the bullets fired by Sakamoto to sharpen his blade, and he hit back with a swing that drew a lot of blood from the former.
Nagumo rushed to Sakamoto's side and asked him to not move a muscle and refrain from showing any signs of aggression. Takamura's vision was impaired, and with Nagumo filling the area with smoke, he would not be able to detect them. Furthermore, Takamura was highly sensitive to hostility, so reducing their antagonism would allow them some respite.
However, their plan seemed to have failed. Takamura had somehow sensed the presence of Nagumo and Sakamoto and was now standing right next to them. Just when all seemed lost, Gaku returned to the battlefield, wielding a club. He looked energetic and declared that he was ready to kill Takamura.
What to expect from Sakamoto Days chapter 166 (speculative)
The museum has hosted multiple conflicts within a short period of time, with each battle getting better than the one before it. In Sakamoto Days chapter 166, readers will be treated to the fight between Gaku and Takamura. Gaku’s return to the battlefield will hopefully be a game-changer, given that he seems to have made a full recovery. It will also be interesting to see if the rest of Uzuki's group will join in and lend their support to overpower Takamura.
