In the previous Sakamoto Days chapter, Shin faces off against Tanabata, who joined the new JAA to get musical inspiration from the mass deaths caused by Kei Uzuki.

Days 260 is titled, “♪”

The eighth note.

This chapter has 19 pages.

Editor’s note: “Therefore, on the inside is a note”

A female news reporter brings up Shin’s clash with Tanabata, which has taken place early in the morning.

She identifies this as the conflict is between the New JAA and the Anti-Killing Alliance.

The Anti-Killing Alliance is known to the readers as the Sakamoto Family (Taro Sakamoto, his wife Aoi and daughter Hana, his employees Shin Asakura and Lu Shaotong, and close ally Heisuke Mashimo) as well as allies like Lu Wutang, Boiled and the JCC people (teh Seba siblings, Amane Yotsumura and Nao Toramura.

Battles have broken out simultaneously in multiple locations.

The total number of dead and injured from this series of clashes is expected to reach several hundred people.

Civilians panic over what appears to be a civil war and some see Shin and Tanabata fight.

The narration brings up Shin’s ability to Rewrite Thoughts and that when applied to himself, it is possible to rewrite even one’s most fixed ideas or preconceptions.

This includes the brain’s limiter, allowing Shin to draw out power beyond his normal limits.

Shin brings out a knife to cut the guitar strings but the blade breaks because Tanabata’s guitar is custom-made.

Tanabata plays a sound that deafens the crowd below.

G Sharp 9 throws Shin off but his fall is cushioned by a car below.

The civilians think this is just a music video shoot but Shin tells them to cover their ears.

Now on the ground, Tanabata plays E9, which blows away the crowd.

Shin realizes that sound is his weakness as a Psychic and on top of that, Tanabata’s thoughts are only nonsense lyrics so he cannot read his mind.

I wonder if Suzuki has seen the CalebCity skit of the mind reader who hears the thoughts of those with ADHD and is instead bombarded with a lot of random noise.

Tanabata is not really focused on Shin at all but instead on his guitar playing.

He is dwelling on how even if he changes the key or increases the tension, the more he plays, the more it just sounds like a generic song and he concludes that he has no talent.

So Tanabata channels his emotions into a song, “Talent Mute”.

Shin worries that if he performs a new song in the middle of a town like this.

Suddenly, Shin sees the fight between Sakamoto and Uzuki

Suzuki took amazing care for this final fight as he just reused a panel from Sakamoto fighting Takamura-Uzuki in Days 245: “Evolution” but this time, fighting Uzuki without the Takamura personality.

Tanabata is shocked to see Sakamoto alive, a distraction that lets Shin punch the durable guitar but Tanabata is only thinking about he still lacks talent and remains ordinary.

Shin tells him that being ordinary or whatever does not matter as what is important is spirit and Shin grabs a road sign to throw Tanabata atop a train track.

Tanabata is still unbothered as he finds Shin’s voice grating, not caring about the train coming to him.

With an amp, Tanabata strums and destroys the track, stopping the train.

The battle intensifies.

Editor’s note: “Playing the melody of murderous intent!!”

Sakamoto Days Chapter 261 will be released on June 1, 2026.
