Sakamoto Days Chapter 168 recap

In Sakamoto Days Chapter 168, titled Museum Closed, the chapter opens with Sakamoto observing the newly created Takamura-Uzuki from a distance. Behind him, Nagumo collapses, prompting Sakamoto to check his vitals and ascertain that neither of them is in any condition to continue fighting.

Realizing the danger, Sakamoto decides to retreat while reflecting on Uzuki's transformation into a new Takamura personality based on his final movements. As Sakamoto stumbles along, he sees Shin and Kashima running towards him. Relieved to see Shin is alright, Sakamoto finally succumbs to his injuries and blacks out.

A week later, Sakamoto wakes up to the sound of Lu Shaotang and Shin discussing what food to give him. He discovers from Granny Miya that Shin had brought him there after the museum incident in Sakamoto Days Chapter 168. Shin recounts the harrowing escape: he was struggling to drag both Sakamoto and Nagumo out when Osaragi, holding Amane by the back of his shirt, and Amane, desperately trying to escape, crashed through a wall in front of them.

Seba then appeared, assisting in their safe evacuation. Other parties at the museum also managed to evacuate to various places, including the JCC. Shin informs Sakamoto that the JAA is now actively searching for him. Back at Sakamoto’s store, Aoi and Hana nonchalantly refuse to disclose Sakamoto's whereabouts to JAA assassins.

Aoi is relieved to receive a message from Shin that Sakamoto has woken up. Meanwhile, a special news program on STV Assassin News reports that Sakamoto, Nagumo, and Uzuki have been designated as special Class-A extermination targets in Sakamoto Days Chapter 168, identified as the principal culprits behind the Okutabi Art Museum attack, with damages exceeding 20 billion yen.

Lu Wutang, seated quietly in a corner, prompts Sakamoto to recount what happened at the museum, and with X. Sakamoto reveals that Uzuki killed Takamura. Lu Wutang questions how Uzuki could have been strong enough to kill Takamura, to which Granny Miya expresses her amazement.

Sakamoto explains that Uzuki adopted a new personality, becoming Takamura-Uzuki to deliver the killing blow. Lu Wutang hypothesizes that Uzuki's self-preservation instincts under extreme stress created the Takamura persona, effectively making this ‘Takamura’ an ally of the Uzuki group in Sakamoto Days Chapter 168.

The scene then shifts to an open courtyard where Shishiba and Osaragi meet with Oki. Oki expresses his disappointment in Shishiba and Osaragi for being a minute late and for the disarray within the Order and the JAA during his overseas assignment. Sakamoto Days Chapter 168 concludes as Oki takes responsibility for the current chaos and declares his intention to correct it in the name of the Order.
