Shin might be an average employee under Mr Sakamoto at the convenience store now, but who can forget how his original mission was to kill his current boss?! And now that the two of them together have wiped a whole bunch of mafia men while trying to help Lu (now their newest co-worker) in episode 2 of ‘Sakamoto Days’, more men are interested in getting rid of Sakamoto than before.

Titled ‘Welcome to Sugar Park’, episode 3 of ‘Sakamoto Days’ begins with a weird, comical twist, apart from introducing a new hit man trying to murder Mr Sakamoto. “You know, for someone who’s retired, you draw a lot of attention,” a hitman tells Sakamoto.

In this episode, Sakamoto takes his family to a theme park, while Lu and Shin accompany them with the intention of keeping an eye out for more hitmen who might try to kill their boss. If nothing else, the first two episodes have clearly established what Sakamoto values most in life: his peaceful life with his wife and daughter. So, Shin is determined to ensure his boss has a fun, uninterrupted day off with his family at the theme park.

Episode 3 introduces a new hitman, whose character design looked like a mash between Suguru Geto and Mahito from the hit anime ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’. Since multiple hitmen are out for Sakamoto’s blood, the edition packs in a lot of action scenes, most of which are hilariously over the top. For instance, there’s an exaggerated fight sequence between Shin and a new hitman while they are both on a rollercoaster ride! Yep, this is a fun episode that gets over pretty quickly.

Watch ‘Sakamoto Days’ on Netflix.
