The anime Sakamoto Days , which premiered on January 11th, faced initial criticism for its animation. However, the series introduced Yoichi Nagumo, a character much loved by fans, in episode 3.
Yoichi Nagumo's arrival in anime
Nagumo, a skilled assassin and ally of Sakamoto, appears to warn him about the 1 billion yen bounty placed on his head by the Japanese Assassins Association. Despite his brief appearance, his charismatic personality and comedic moments have already won over fans.
It's worth remembering that, in the series' only popularity poll, conducted in 2023, Nagumo secured second place, behind only Shin Asakura . Nagumo's prominence is even more impressive considering that Sakamoto, the titular protagonist, came in fifth place in the voting.
The amusement park arch continues to thrill
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 most exciting moments in the episode occurs when Shin faces Tatsu, the main assassin of the episode, during a thrilling battle on a roller coaster. The action scenes were well adapted, guaranteeing just the right amount of tension and fun.
What to expect from the next episode of Sakamoto Days?
Therefore, following the manga's rhythm, episode 4 should continue at the amusement park, bringing more action with Sakamoto and Lu in the spotlight. This arc is expected to end in Episode 5, beginning the highly anticipated Laboratory Arc .
