“Who reads people’s minds anyway? That’s totally perverted!”

Lu and Shin get into a big fight while looking after the convenience store for their boss, Sakamoto, who is away at his daughter’s school. After Lu says some pretty hurtful things about Shin’s mind-reading skills, he storms off in anger, only for Lu to get kidnapped!

Titled Jurassic Bastard, Episode 7 of Sakamoto Days focuses on Shin and Sakamoto’s mission to rescue Lu from her kidnappers, whose motives are anything but noble. For a change, the assailants aren’t after Taro Sakamoto or the big bounty on his head. After an exciting bike chase, most of the action unfolds at a science museum, where Sakamoto and Shin must not only battle deadly hitmen but also fend off lethal machines.

Heisuke Mashimo, introduced in Episode 6 of Sakamoto Days, makes a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo in this edition, nothing consequential, just a quick visit to the store for food. On the other hand, we meet some new characters, including another young individual who, like Shin, possesses special powers. In fact, viewers also get insight into Shin’s childhood and how he became a telepath.

Overall, this was a fast-paced, entertaining episode with plenty of fun moments. Some parts of the animation were actually quite good in this episode, especially the bike chase sequence and another intense fight scene atop a moving vehicle.

Watch ‘Sakamoto Days’ on Netflix.
