Arisunime — In Chapter 221 of Sakamoto Days, titled “Protect”, the focus shifts to the renewed chase: X’s followers have set their sights on Nagumo and the rest of The Order. This pursuit is packed with strategic, personal, and narrative significance—raising the stakes for both sides as the new JAA arc unfolds.
Nagumo also reveals that the recent defection of three members of The Order has destabilized the X organization’s network. This chaos has allowed him to move more freely-prompting the X faction to pursue Nagumo aggressively to suppress this instability.
A high-level member of The Order, Nagumo represents the old JAA hierarchy-exactly what the X movement seeks to dismantle. Pursuing him directly strikes at the heart of the institution they are fighting against.
As revealed in chapte 221, Nagumo teamed up with Shishiba and Osaragi, forming a powerful unit. X’s forces want to prevent this alliance from gaining traction, fearing a consolidation that could expose their operations.
X (Kei Uzuki) holds a deep ideological grudge against the JAA elite. Nagumo, as one of its most respected warriors, becomes a personal target – representing everything X wants to end.
By targeting Nagumo, X aims to weaken the JAA’s command structure. A successful attack on him would demoralize The Order and create chaos among their ranks, setting up a major shift in power.
These five points highlight the layered reasons behind Organization X’s pursuit of Nagumo. This is not just a physical pursuit – it is ideological warfare, psychological warfare, and strategic destabilization all rolled into one tense conflict.***
