Sakamoto Days Chapter 236 Prediction: Tanabata Approaches

Sakamoto Days Chapter 235, “Big Brother” delivered a decisive victory for the Seba family but ended with a chilling cliffhanger that shifts the focus to the Sakamoto transport team. With Kippei Saionji finally enraged and a powerful, recognized Order member approaching, Chapter 236 is set to feature two high stakes confrontations simultaneously.

Sakamoto Days Chapter 235 Recap: The Battle of the Brothers

Chapter 235 focused on the confrontation between the Saionji siblings and the Seba brothers.

The initial standoff saw Shiina Saionji aggressively challenge the injured Natsuki Seba, fueled by arrogance and annoyance at her older brother, Kippei’s overprotectiveness. However, the fight was immediately complicated by the return of Mafuyu Seba.

Mafuyu, having gained a crucial realization that “the strongest guys are always fighting to protect someone” intercepted Shiina’s attack, cutting her minigun in half. The ensuing fight saw Mafuyu employ cunning over brute strength: when Shiina transformed her damaged minigun into “Mallet Mode,” Mafuyu used his invisibility suit to hide rocks and rubble, striking Shiina with the unseen weapon and knocking her unconscious.

With his younger sister defeated and injured, Kippei Saionji, whose name means “peaceful” or “genius” shed his passive nature. He stepped forward with a serious, menacing aura, challenging Mafuyu and Natsuki to determine who is truly the strongest, setting the stage for a dramatic brother vs brother battle.

Meanwhile, the main Sakamoto transport team (including Shin, Hardboiled, Lou and Amane) were still fighting off JAA agents on the highway. The chapter concluded with Shin sensing an overwhelming “creepy sense of unease” ,the unmistakable sign of a powerful assassin approaching. The final panel revealed the figure to be Tanabata, the Order member known for using an electric guitar and sound waves as a weapon.

Sakamoto Days Chapter 236 Predictions & Theories: High-Speed Confrontations

Sakamoto Days Chapter 236 will be split between two simultaneous, major battles, potentially shifting focus quickly between them.

Tanabata vs. Hardboiled and Shin: The Order member Tanabata is now on a direct collision course with the Sakamoto group. This matchup is personal for Hardboiled (now driving the van), who was easily cut across the chest by Tanabata’s guitar pick in their previous encounter. Hardboiled will likely seek revenge, making him the primary combatant. However, given Tanabata’s unique sound based attacks, which bypass conventional defenses and affect the brain, Shin‘s psychic abilities will be crucial for locating the source of the sound waves and finding a weakness. The speed of the encounter will be dictated by Tanabata’s ruthlessness.
Mafuyu vs. Kippei Saionji: This fight is a clash of genius and intensity. Kippei, now operating in a serious, protective rage, will be an overwhelming physical threat. Mafuyu will be forced to rely entirely on his speed and cunning, using the invisibility suit not just defensively but for intricate maneuvers and environmental traps. The conflict highlights the “strongest” ideology: Kippei believes strength is singular, while Mafuyu believes it comes from fighting to protect others. Natsuki, though injured, might use his own speed/parkour skills to assist Mafuyu with distractions or tactical advice.
Amané’s Mission: Since Amane and Toramura were sent ahead to warn Sakamoto, Chapter 236 might show them successfully reaching the JCC and alerting the remaining allies (like Mr. Heisuke) to the Order’s active pursuit, securing Sakamoto just before the new Order members or JAA agents breach the facility.
