Sakamoto Days chapter 175 recap

In the previous episode, readers were introduced to Uzuki, who, in the early morning hours, was waiting for the arrival of the assassin he was tasked to eliminate.

At the same time, Akao was on a mission of her own. The vehicle she was travelling in veered off course, which made her suspicious. She demanded that the driver stop the vehicle, but it was already too late as a tyre burst. While the driver tried to fix the tyre, Akao chose to confront her assailant.

During her fight with the attacker, Akao recognized the weapon he wielded. Then she caught a glimpse of his face and to her surprise, it was Uzuki. This revelation caused her to freeze. On the other hand, Uzuki, unaware that he had been set up, proceeded to drive his blade into her.

In her final moments, Akao expressed her regret to Uzuki, apologizing for her not being able to protect everyone. She wished she could have created a world where everyone remained kind.

Uzuki, taken aback, was confronted by Asaki, who chastised him, stating that his grief was unwarranted as his own misguided decisions had led to this outcome. He was told that peace and happiness would forever elude him.

The chapter then revisited the encounter between Sakamoto and Uzuki. Despite Sakamoto having shot Uzuki with the intention of killing him, Uzuki survived the bullet wound due to a rare medical condition known as situs inversus, where one’s vital organs are located on the opposite side of the body.

Uzuki realized how both the assassin community and ordinary people were indifferent towards him. Akao was the only one who had extended her hand to him, and now that she was no more, he felt detached from the rest of the world.

He returned to Al-Kamar and embarked on a killing spree, eliminating all staff, JAA assassins, and others without discrimination. He then took the orphans, made a group. and swore to destroy everything.

What to expect from Sakamoto Days chapter 176 (speculative)

It appears that the flashback sequence has come to an end. In Sakamoto Days chapter 176, readers may expect to be properly introduced to Gozu and Tenkyu, two orphans who are now part of Uzuki’s group, but have not yet appeared.

It is reasonable to assume that in Sakamoto Days chapter 176 they will soon face the new Order that Oki has put together. However, Uzuki also has to deal with the fact that he is currently unable to control himself under stressful conditions and may turn on his allies.
