Sakamoto Days chapter 177 recap
In the previous episode, Kindaka was astonished to learn that he had been in a coma for eight years. The fact that he woke up was nothing short of a miracle. However, the most shocking revelation for him was that Uzuki, who had always been a quiet boy, was now terrorizing the JAA.
Nagumo presented Kindaka with a staggering hospital bill amounting to 1.5 billion yen, which he had been covering on Kindaka's behalf. Realizing that he urgently needed to earn money, Kindaka decided to take on some bounty hunting gigs.
As he scanned through the list of targets, he was taken aback to see Sakamoto's photo, with a bounty of one billion yen on his head. Sakamoto had gained a significant amount of weight since Kindaka last saw him, making him almost unrecognizable. Moreover, given his weight Kindaka thought he would be an easy kill.
Meanwhile, Sakamoto, along with Shin and Heisuke, was training rigorously on a scorching day to build their strength. However, Sakamoto was unsure how to become stronger without a master to guide him.
At this point, someone came towards them at top speed, leaving a trail of destruction along the way. It was Kindaka. He felt he was still not at his peak, having been in bed for a while.
Sakamoto managed to warn Shin and Heisuke to keep their eyes on Kindaka. However, he himself was caught off guard and was clotheslined by Kindaka, which sent him flying.
Shin tried to use his newly acquired telepathic powers against Kindaka, but Kindaka's speed allowed him to evade the attack. Heisuke, relying on his intuition, tried to predict Kindaka's movements but narrowly missed.
The battle between Sakamoto and Kindaka continued, taking them to the top of a moving train. Kindaka, still in not believing that the person before him was the Sakamoto he once knew, pushed himself harder. In response, Sakamoto decided to prove his identity by burning off all his excess calories. Finally, Kindaka realized his mistake.
The chapter ended with Sakamoto declaring that he had found the perfect master.
What to expect from Sakamoto Days chapter 178 (speculative)

Readers will also look forward to seeing the focus shift back to Uzuki’s group. The situation has already become complicated, with Akira insisting on staying with Uzuki. However, for Uzuki’s alter ego, Akao, it is imperative to prevent Akira from taking lives in order to preserve her innocence in a harsh world.
