Amazing, simply amazing, one of the best chapters I've read, very emotional, Sadakiyo finally has a picture from his childhood & his Teacher still remembers him.

Absolutely loved this chapter. Very emotional, and I'm so glad that Sadakiyo turned out to be a good guy and not Friend afterall. During the bonus stage in tomodachi land though, wasn't it Friend who took his mask off and not Sadakiyo? So why did Kiyoko see Sadakiyo's head on Friends body?

Wow, I actually thought he was a jerk of a teacher for always showing up after Sadakiyo got beaten up but it actually seems like he was a pretty good teacher, I mean it can't be easy to have remembered a particular student (especially one who is prone to not standing out) after 40 years.

"Friend" works in mysterious ways, my friend.

And I have to agree with others in that this really was an "aww" -kind of chapter.

That was really moving stuff. The teacher remembered him.

After all these years, Sadakiyo's existence has finally been acknowledged by someone who isn't using him.

Even though this teacher was always late to save Sadakiyo from being beaten up, he still remembers him. And that's why Sadakiyo cried when he arrived late to save the guy at the school who was beaten up, too... He just remember how his teacher was unable to save him. Such a nice little detail. I feel sorry for him.

This reminds me a bit of Master Keaton or Monster... In the emotional way that Urasawa knows how to tell and lead the stories of the characters.
During this little time starring the episodes, Sadakiyo is one hell of a character.
Even with all the time that has passed, the teacher still remembers the student and the student still remembers the teacher. This is how it should be...
Love it!

The emotions. I’m glad to see Sadakiyo can feel like he’s an actual person without the influence of anyone now. Also.. I have a feeling that friend might be someone who was in Kenji’s faction. A couple chapters ago I thought it’d be Kenji’s sister Kiriko but now I think that theories squashed. It has to be Fukubei. Calling it right now. If it’s not then I think Urasawa’s gonna have to really come through with the plot twists to make it make sense but hey I’m for the ride and I have a feeling nonetheless my minds gonna be blown lol

I love how Naoki creates a strong similarity between "Boy Without a Face" in 20th Century Boys and "The Nameless Monster" in Monster. Both were forgotten just because they don't have a name/face but that doesn't matter for them.

A heartwarming chapter, no matter how many years have passed, the teacher still did not forget the student and even gave him a photo to prove his existence. I'm crying more than I should have ;__:

Cried a lot, read another chapter for a long time. Isekais and shounens got nothing on this

@Shioneri Furthermore he looks adorable as a child.
Cant believe everyone forgot about him. But his sensei remembered him
