Sakamoto Days chapter 189 is set to release on Monday, November 11, 2024, at 12 am JST, according to the official MANGA Plus website. In this chapter, readers may witness Shin reveal a hitherto unseen side of his personality, fueled by anger. However, he may not be ready for the fight he has picked. Sakamoto might also appear in this chapter.

The previous chapter unexpectedly shifted the focus to Sakamoto, who has been struggling to match Torres' skill level but continues to fall short—a fact that displeases Torres. Meanwhile, Shin and Heisuke’s alliance with Tenkyu collapsed after they uncovered his true motives.

Sakamoto Days chapter 188 recap

In the previous chapter, Sakamoto faced his fifth defeat after challenging Torres to a fight again. Torres, a member of the new Order, was frustrated with the situation, as he needed Sakamoto to kill a few people to increase his bounty before he could finish him off. However, Sakamoto remained solely focused on Torres. Sakamoto proposed that Torres train him if he wanted his bounty to rise.

But Torres was not sure how he could help Sakamoto improve. He said he did not see Sakamoto as a threat and that he did not approve of Sakamoto's way of fighting, with his bare hands and making do with whatever was at hand instead of going for specialized weapons.

While they were walking, they ran into Aoi, who invited Torres to dinner at their house. Sakamoto was fine with hosting his enemy, figuring that Torres wouldn't attack since there was no profit in it for him. Torres was surprised by the invitation and still amazed by Aoi's ability to prepare multiple dishes at once and Hana's skill in creating a paper airplane.

Torres was even more surprised when he saw Sakamoto show off the same cooking skills. So he asked why Sakamoto had kept this talent hidden. Sakamoto was confused by the question.

In the last part of the chapter, at JAA prison, Shin found out that Tenkyu's conflict with Uzuki was because Tenkyu planned to kill Sakamoto's wife and daughter to provoke him. This made Shin angry, and he hit Tenkyu. He also told Heisuke that he was willing to break the Sakamoto family rule of not killing in order to eliminate Tenkyu.

What to expect from Sakamoto Days chapter 189 (speculative)

Sakamoto Days chapter 189 is expected to focus on Tenkyu's reaction upon discovering that he has been misled by Shin who is not actually a fortune teller but rather an ally of Sakamoto. This revelation could provoke Tenkyu to attempt to kill Shin; thus, a fight seems to be on the horizon.

The chapter may also follow how Torres helps Sakamoto in honing a unique fighting style that incorporates his cooking skills. It would be interesting to see Sakamoto employing utensils such as woks and chopsticks as weapons in combat if that scenario unfolds.
