Sakamoto Days Chapter 272 closed on its biggest gut-punch in months, and fans now have a full week to sit with it before Chapter 273 answers what happened.
The chapter spent nineteen pages on all-out destruction as Uzuki tore through the remaining Order members, then abruptly cut away from the fight entirely in its final panels, leaving readers with more questions than answers heading into the next release.

Sakamoto Days Chapter 272 Recap
Chapter 272 picked up right after Uzuki’s defeat of the Order’s founders, with Nagumo and the survivors realizing Uzuki can now freely command every persona he has absorbed at once, combining Rion Akao’s path-reading eyes with Sakamoto’s own killing instincts.
Osaragi charged in with her buzzsaw and got shredded for the effort, only avoiding a harder hit by grabbing onto Shishiba’s collar.
The fight then spilled out of the amusement park entirely. Uzuki snapped the Ferris wheel’s spindle and sent the whole structure rolling through the city, crushing cars and tearing into buildings as the group scrambled to keep pace.
In the middle of the chaos, Nagumo paused to imagine what Rion herself would say about the Order, concluding she would have refused to join and mocked it as pretentious. That reflection turned into an eye-for-an-eye moment, with Nagumo slashing Uzuki’s eye in revenge, only for Uzuki to retaliate against him in kind.
Right as that exchange landed, the chapter suddenly cut away from the fight entirely. A bloodied figure called out a name: “…Shin?”
The panel then shifted into a flashback of a younger Sakamoto standing alongside familiar faces, one of whom addressed him as “Mr. Sakamoto.” The sequence ended on a single word in a stark white flash panel: “HEY!” with no indication yet of who was speaking or what triggered the sudden shift out of the fight.
Whether that final page connects to Shin directly, or signals a jump away from the Uzuki battle altogether, is the question Chapter 273 needs to answer.
