What If Sakamoto Days Explores the Real Cost of Leaving a Life of Crime Behind

[Roleplay]

Never thought I’d compare Sakamoto’s retirement to a boss fight that just keeps respawning. The way he tries to leave his assassin life, only to have his past catch up, feels like when he dodged that bullet train ambush—totally wild and unexpected. But then you’ve got Shin messing up a grocery run, which somehow turns into a mini action scene and cracks me up every time. If the story really digs into the cost of leaving crime, I wonder if Sakamoto’s family will face more danger or if old enemies will force him back. Maybe the series is hinting that you can’t ever fully escape your past. Waiting for the next chapter feels like holding your breath during a stealth mission. What do you all think?

Sakamoto’s past just refuses to chill, and honestly, that tension is what makes the series so addictive. If the manga actually goes deep into the consequences for his family, it could get way darker. Shin’s antics are hilarious, but I’m lowkey worried someone close to Sakamoto will get caught in the crossfire soon.

Sakamoto’s struggle to go legit is honestly what keeps me hooked. Every time he tries to be normal, the world just won’t let him. If the manga really leans into how his past puts his family at risk, it could get way darker. I’d love to see more of Shin’s perspective too!

Sakamoto’s attempts at normal life always feel one step away from total chaos. I’d love to see the manga actually show the toll on his family, not just the action. Like, what if his daughter starts noticing the danger? That’d make the stakes way more real, instead of just another wild grocery store brawl.
