Sakamoto Days Chapter 280: Release Date, Where to Read, and What to Expect

Sakamoto Days Chapter 279 brought pure cinematic chaos as Taro Sakamoto and Kei Uzuki’s brawl tore through Shuei Movie Studio’s miniature kaiju set. With Sakamoto fashioning an Idzilla head into a makeshift flamethrower and Kanaguri now shifting the duel to an old samurai village set, the stakes are peaking.

Here is everything you need to know about Sakamoto Days Chapter 280, including its release date, global launch times, and what to expect next.

Sakamoto Days Chapter 280 Release Date and Time

Sakamoto Days Chapter 280 is scheduled to release worldwide on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 11 am ET, which is 8 am PT. Readers in Japan will get it at midnight on Monday, October 26, and that same moment lands at 8:30 pm IST on Sunday for readers in India.

What Happened in Sakamoto Days Chapter 279?

Sakamoto Days Chapter 279, titled “Action!,” opened with Shishiba waking up battered and groggy. He blamed himself for jumping into another battle right after Gozu, and he couldn’t remember anything after X sent him flying. Once he was alert, he asked where X was. The other Order members told him Sakamoto was fighting X right now and that this was a fight he had to finish himself. They also pointed out that in Shishiba’s condition, he would only get in the way.

Sakamoto’s allies watched the street fight and had no doubt who would win. In a clash between Sakamoto’s old self and the present-day Sakamoto, they insisted the one who is a dad is stronger than the assassin. Sakamoto backed that up himself, swinging a traffic cone through the fight. Then Kanaguri, the Order’s camera-wielding filmmaker, stepped in. He declared the set played out and announced it was time to change locations, with the camera still rolling.

The fight smashed through the roof of the Shuei Movie Studio and landed on a miniature Tokyo set. There, Kanaguri began the first genre, a classic monster movie, and a giant Idzilla prop rose up. Sakamoto tore its head off and wore it like a mask. He then used the Tokyo Tower prop as a weapon, and a can of hairspray and a lighter turned the suit’s head into Idzilla’s heat ray. The crowds watching the broadcast on giant screens were thrilled.

The chapter ended with the fight crashing onto a new set built like an old samurai village. Kanaguri announced the next genre, samurai, while Sakamoto’s allies watched in disbelief as the chaos carried on.

What to Expect From Sakamoto Days Chapter 280

The biggest focal point heading into Chapter 280 is how Taro Sakamoto and Kei Uzuki adapt to Kanaguri’s latest set change. After tearing through miniature skyscrapers with an Idzilla head and a makeshift hairspray heat ray, the battle has crashed straight into a feudal samurai village set.

Uzuki’s state of mind is another critical thread to watch. While Sakamoto has been thriving in his family-man mindset, Uzuki is still channeling Sakamoto’s ruthless former assassin persona. Facing the current, non-lethal Sakamoto on a cinematic stage might force X to tap deeper into his multiple personalities or reveal whether his imitation of prime Sakamoto can truly keep up with the real thing.

Shishiba’s sidelines perspective could also shape the narrative. Still recovering and visibly worn down after his brutal clash with Gozu, Shishiba was cautioned by the other Order members to stay back so Sakamoto can finish this personal fight alone. However, whether Shishiba remains a passive spectator or gets dragged into the fray if Uzuki gains the upper hand remains an open question.

Finally, Kanaguri’s broadcast could bring outside forces into play. With huge crowds watching the studio chaos unfold on giant public screens, the battle is no longer contained to a private duel. Chapter 280 may see the public broadcast catch the attention of other Order members or the JAA hierarchy, setting up high-stakes fallout just as Kanaguri calls the next cut.
