The anime Sakamoto Days , which premiered on January 11, faced initial criticism for its animation. However, the series introduced Yoichi Nagumo, a beloved character among fans, in episode 3.
Yoichi Nagumo's arrival in the anime
Nagumo, a skilled assassin and Sakamoto's ally, appears to warn him about the 1 billion yen bounty placed on his head by the Japanese Assassin Association. Despite his brief appearance, his charismatic personality and comedic moments have already won over fans.
It's worth noting that in the series' only popularity poll, conducted in 2023, Nagumo secured second place, trailing only Shin Asakura . Nagumo's prominence is even more impressive considering that Sakamoto, the titular protagonist, came in fifth in the vote.
The amusement park arc continues to be exciting
Currently, the Sakamoto Days anime is adapting the Amusement Park Arc , in which Sakamoto and his family become easy targets for assassins. Lu and Shin strive to protect Aoi and Hana without them realizing the danger around them.
One of the episode's most exciting moments occurs when Shin faces off against Tatsu, the episode's main assassin, during a thrilling battle on a roller coaster. The action scenes were well-crafted, ensuring just the right amount of tension and fun.
What to expect from the next episode of Sakamoto Days?
So, following the manga's flow, Episode 4 should continue at the amusement park, bringing more action with Sakamoto and Lu in the spotlight. This arc is expected to conclude in Episode 5, kicking off the long-awaited Laboratory Arc .
