In the previous chapter, Tenkyu commented that the three of them—himself, Shin, and Heisuke—would get along with each other just fine. However, Heisuke was still uneasy about how Tenkyu handled the situation with their three assassins. When asked about it, Tenkyu simply said it was self-defense, since they would have been killed otherwise.

Tenkyu then helped himself to some clothes from one of the bodies and armed Heisuke with a gun. As they continued on their way, Shin advised Heisuke to be careful not to provoke Tenkyu while trying to figure out why his name seemed so familiar. Things took an interesting turn when Tenkyu brought up Sakamoto. He revealed that he plans to hunt down Sakamoto and his associates.

Meanwhile, Kumanomi was shown telling Uzuki about having located Tenkyu in the JAA prison. Uzuki was upset because Tenkyu was the only Al-Kamar orphan who had succeeded in becoming an emotionless killing machine. This made him too dangerous to keep around.

Back with the trio, Shin acknowledged knowing about the legendary assassin Sakamoto. Tenkyu explained that he wanted to eliminate Sakamoto's group because they were interfering with Uzuki. He also admitted that he needed the JAA fortune teller's help to succeed because he was not smart enough to track them down.

Their conversation was cut short by laser attacks, but Shin's ESP helped him locate the hidden assailant, Laser Yamamoto. With Shin's guidance, Tenkyu neutralized the assassin. As danger was averted, Tenkyu, intrigued by Shin's uncanny ability, demanded an explanation. Shin blurted out that his true identity is the JAA fortune teller. He also advised Tenkyu that if he wanted to patch things up with Uzuki, he would have to stop killing.

Sakamoto Days chapter 188 is likely to explore the delicate situation Shin and Heisuke find themselves in with Tenkyu. They must tread carefully, as revealing their connection to Sakamoto could provoke Tenkyu, who, as an emotionless killer, would not hesitate to kill them. Additionally, the chapter might shift its focus back to Atari and her two guards, who are attempting to escape from B3 on their most unfortunate day.
