Hahahahaha…. we weren’t expecting Nao Toramaru to give up the title of ‘Sakamoto’s Number One Fan’ so fast to Shin in ‘Sakamoto Days’. She even offers him her prized Sakamoto doll, though Shin has no time for her otaku antics. The lighthearted moment crashes when the JCC exam spirals into bloodshed as special candidate Shinaya goes on a murderous rampage! Last week’s cliffhanger already revealed he’s being remote-controlled by Gaku, part of Slur’s brutal recruitment scheme.

Titled ‘Hard Mode’, episode 21 of ‘Sakamoto Days’ throws Shin, Nao, Mafuyu, and Joichiro Kaji (another specially recommended candidate) against the deranged Shinaya. Unaware that Gaku is pulling the strings, they’re caught in a slaughter test where survival alone marks someone “worthy” to join Slur’s side.

Interestingly, Kaji notices that Shinaya is asleep even though he is in fight mode, which makes no sense to him, while Shin also realizes something is off when he’s unable to read Shinaya’s mind. Meanwhile, Gaku is having the time of his life, gleefully beating the kids to a pulp.

This edition barrels forward with bloodied mayhem, as Shin scrambles to team up with the others and shut down Shinaya’s carnage. The climax delivers extra laughs along with the violence, when Sakamoto, who had been nonchalantly “camping” with his team, finally leaps into battle mode.

Watch ‘Sakamoto Days’ on Netflix.
