Sakamoto Days Chapter 166 Summary
Chapter 166 follows Shin as he pushes himself to trace the runaway pod variant. He experiences visions from the variant’s perspective—flashes of cities, crowds, and intense loneliness. The variant has no memories but instinctively seeks places of human contact. Meanwhile, Sakamoto questions whether these children should be saved or stopped. Lu intercepts a message from an unknown source offering to buy the variant on the black market. Chapter 166 is emotional and philosophical, touching on what it means to be human when designed as a weapon. It asks whether redemption is possible for a consciousness born in a lab, and whether the crew is ready to fight again when the enemy might not even know they exist.
