In the latest chapter titled “Sea of Corpses,” Shin faced off against X, who was being controlled by the deadly Takamura persona. The fight took place inside a drained aquarium tank, where Shin had a hard time dodging Takamura’s powerful and deadly attacks. He was shocked and confused, wondering how people like Sakamoto and Nagumo ever managed to fight someone that strong.
Shin tried hiding inside a seal tank, but that didn’t help. Things took a strange turn when one of X’s men tried to shoot Shin—Takamura turned on his own ally and killed him instead. He seemed to attack anyone who showed bloodlust, even if they were on his side. While Takamura ignored Shin at first, Shin used the chance to help civilians escape. But in a shocking moment at the end of the chapter, Takamura suddenly reappeared and seemed to cut off Shin’s head.
In Chapter 216, we’ll most likely find out if Shin really got killed or if it was just a close call. It’s possible that someone like Sakamoto, Heisuke, Asakura, or Boiled showed up just in time to save him. The scene looked dramatic, but manga often leaves room for surprises in moments like this.
The story might also show how badly Shin is hurt, especially since he’s already been pushing himself by using his psychic powers across the country. There’s also a chance the focus could shift to other characters who are getting ready to face Takamura next, as the danger continues to rise.
Sakamoto Days Chapter 216 is scheduled to release on Monday, June 9, 2025, at 12:00 am JST. For international readers, that means it will be available on Sunday, June 8, around 3 pm GMT / 7 am PT / 10 am ET, depending on your time zone.
