Yuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days stands out as a top-notch ongoing action manga. The story centers on Taro Sakamoto, a retired legendary hitman now living as a middle-aged convenience store owner.
Despite his new life, he still faces assassins from his past, teaming up with his store employee Shin, who possesses telepathic abilities, to fend them off.
In the 158th chapter of Sakamoto Days, the focus shifts to the intense sumo wrestling match between Shin and the formidable opponent, Haruma.
Despite Shin gaining an advantage towards the end, the battle remains unfinished, with the promise of more to come in the next issue.
Readers are left wondering if Shin’s final punch was enough to defeat Haruma or if the fight will carry on. Additionally, there’s anticipation to learn more about the dynamic between Shin and Haruma, as well as Shin’s newfound power.
Recap
The latest chapter of Sakamoto Days kicks off with Shin surprising Haruma by challenging him to a sumo wrestling match, despite appearing exhausted.
Haruma is taken aback, especially when he sees Shin’s power glove running low on energy. However, witnessing Shin’s unwavering determination, fueled by his desire to assist someone he deeply respects, Haruma agrees to the match.
Despite realizing the immense risk, Shin opts for the sumo match against Haruma, seeing it as a way to pour all his remaining energy into this crucial fight.
Adding to the stakes, a new rule is introduced: anyone stepping out of the ring must face death. The battle unfolds in a pool setting, with Shin strategically using the environment to his advantage.
Upon Haruma’s entry, the sudden activation of the pool’s fountains serves as a distraction, further complicating the intense match.
Shin uses one of Seba’s bombs to freeze the water in the pool, effectively immobilizing Haruma. However, Haruma proves to be resilient, breaking free with sheer force and launching an attack on Shin.
In a clever move, Shin employs a nekodamashi tactic from sumo, creating a diversion by using his power glove to amplify the power of his clap.
The loud clap bursts Haruma’s eardrums, giving Shin a strategic advantage in the intense battle.
