The JAA’s assault on Sakamoto’s family has reached a fever pitch, with a deadly new sniper joining the fray. In Chapter 229, Heisuke’s final stand not only saved a friend but also brought out a powerful ally from the Order. With the stage now set for a brutal fight between two assassins with a long and complicated history, Chapter 230 is poised to deliver a battle for the ages.
Sakamoto Days Chapter 229 Recap: A New Record is Set
Chapter 229, titled “New Record” was a moment of pure genius from Heisuke Mashimo. After faking his death, he used Kumonami’s magnetic powers against the wrestler’s bulletproof armor. By loading his rifle with nails and other scrap metal, he was able to shoot and pierce the wrestler’s skin, severely injuring him. With his last bit of strength, Heisuke made an impossible 8.2 km shot that took off the cop assassin’s hand, saving Lou.
His victory, however, was short-lived, as Kumonami impaled him with a signpost. Just as she prepared to finish him off, Kamihate appeared. The legendary sniper praised Heisuke for breaking his world record with a 8.2km shot and announced that he was ready to fight.
Sakamoto Days Chapter 230 Predictions & Theories: A Deadly Alliance
With Kamihate now on the scene, the battle against Kumonami and her magnetic powers will begin. The main conflict will be the clash of these two unique fighting styles but other plot threads will also need to be addressed.
- Kamihate vs. Kumonami: The core of the chapter will be this long awaited battle. Kamihate is known for his unrivaled long distance sniping, while Kumonami excels at close range combat with her magnetism. The battle will likely start with Kamihate attempting to create distance, forcing Kumonami to confront his legendary accuracy and use her magnetic powers to deflect his shots.
- Lou’s Clean up: Now that the cop assassin is severely injured from Heisuke’s shot, Lou and Granny Miya will finally have the upper hand. The two will finish their fight and then race back to the truck to check on Sakamoto. This will be a moment for Lou to truly show her worth as an assassin and as a trusted member of Sakamoto’s family.
- A Final Plea for Heisuke: Heisuke is severely injured and now his long time rival is here to fight his killer. Kumonami’s sadistic nature will likely try to taunt Kamihate by showcasing Heisuke’s pain. Kamihate, in turn, will be forced to not only fight his opponent but also ensure Heisuke’s safety. This could be a moment for Kamihate to finally reveal his true face or a part of his backstory.
What do you think will happen to Heisuke, and what will the outcome of Kamihate’s battle with Kumonami be? Let us know in the comments!
