Chapter 136

Kamihate puts his uncanny marksmanship on display with a single round, and the sight sparks an argument between Sakamoto and Heisuke over just how dangerous the sniper really is. The exchange of fire drags on, with Kamihate keeping the edge through sheer precision. Because Heisuke has bruised the gunman's ego, Kamihate has no intention of letting him slip off unhurt, forcing the younger marksman to raise his game and guard himself far more carefully.

Heisuke leans on everything he knows about long range shooting, reaching for fresh tactics as he hunts for a way past Kamihate. A clean win in a straight duel looks out of reach, yet his persistence steers the group toward the sniper's whereabouts, where they aim to seize him before he does further damage. The clash underlines that Heisuke need not fight alone, since his allies are moving in behind him.

At the same time, Sakamoto, Shin, and Amane close in to run the gunman to ground and force a surrender, assuming he lacks the skills to hold his own up close. Should they reach him, it would mark their first direct meeting with the elusive shooter.

Heisuke and Kamihate keep exchanging fire, with the record holder staying in control. Kamihate refuses to spare Heisuke after his pride takes a hit. Heisuke experiments with new shooting techniques to survive the duel. His confrontation guides Sakamoto's group toward Kamihate's location. Sakamoto, Shin, and Amane advance to corner and capture the sniper.

This installment is billed as the second part of the Kamihate storyline. It reinforces the theme that Heisuke is backed by his teammates rather than isolated. The chapter appears in Volume 16 and features Heisuke, Piisuke, Shin, Sakamoto, Amane, and Kamihate.
