In the rich, lengthy history of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, we’ve seen an array of powers bending reality itself. However, the latest chapter of Yuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days might have pushed things a bit too far by introducing yet another mind-blowing ability. Similar to many action series within this popular magazine, Sakamoto Days has been known for its frequent disregard of physical laws since its very first chapter. The main character’s speed, for instance, left fans in awe as it exceeded what one would expect from his physical capabilities.
Since the initial chapter, the action-packed series Sakamoto Days has been consistently showcasing the extraordinary abilities of its assassin characters. Although it maintains a sense of realism, certain feats and scenes in the storyline stretch the boundaries of believability. However, the recent installment could have gone a step too far, as the manga has sparked widespread amusement among fans due to the “Tunnel Effect” that miraculously spared Shin from decapitation.
What Is The Tunnel Effect?
Previously, Shin appeared to have been fatally slashed by X, leveraging Takamura’s inescapable abilities. But in Sakamoto Days Chapter 216, it turned out that Shin miraculously survived the attack. This was made possible when Atari arrived at the right moment and utilized her remaining luck to keep him alive. It wasn’t simply a matter of luck, though; an incredibly unlikely set of circumstances also played a part in Shin’s survival. Atari refers to this as “The Tunnel Effect,” which temporarily defied the laws of physics.
According to Atari’s explanation, “The Tunnel Effect” refers to a situation where a particle can pass through a barrier that is larger than its own energy, although the chances of this happening are extremely slim. To put it another way, in an almost unbelievable turn of events, X’s sword seemingly didn’t touch Shin’s neck at the critical moment, sparing him from death. This extraordinary occurrence, which might never happen again, was something that Atari, with his ability to manipulate luck, could theoretically bring about.
What Does This Mean for Sakamoto Days’ Future?
As a fervent fan of Sakamoto Days, I’ve been consistently amazed by how each chapter pushes the limits of what our characters can do, and as we near this thrilling climax, it’s evident that things are about to get even more exhilarating! This means Taro Sakamoto and his friends are going to pull off jaw-dropping stunts that defy reality, and we can expect a barrage of these mind-blowing logic jumps and realism bends to make it all come together.
Fans of the “Sakamoto Days” series are accustomed to certain elements, yet some may find this latest development a bit excessive. The narrative seems to be pushing against the boundaries that the series had established earlier, but it’s actually a logical progression given the events leading up to it. Critics might argue that it used too much plot armor in saving Shin this time around, but such instances have been prevalent throughout the franchise up to now. It’s simply another addition to the pattern that has been established.
