"Me? I don’t really like killing... but orders are orders, and I just happened to be free today." — Nagumo
Just when you thought this was just a lighthearted comedy about a retired hitman running a convenience store, Sakamoto Days delivers a brutal reminder—this is a hardcore survival game about "existence," "the past," and "order"! And the one who ignites the heart of this storm is none other than ORDER member Nagumo’s debut!
Story Recap: Retired Hitman? The Killer World Won’t Allow Peace!
Sakamoto Taro, once known as the "strongest" in the underground assassin world, could take lives with a flick of his wrist, striking fear into countless enemies. However, an unexpected love led him back to a normal life—running a convenience store with his wife and daughter, gaining weight, and appearing lazy, seemingly having cut all ties with his past.
But the assassin world doesn’t easily let traitors go. One day, a "high-value bounty" shatters the peace, attracting countless killers. Sakamoto is forced to reclaim his killer instincts. As the battles escalate, one name keeps coming up—ORDER.
Who is ORDER? Why Are They So Terrifying?
ORDER is an elite organization even more mysterious and powerful than the Assassin Association. They oversee, judge, and even execute the order of the entire assassin world. They don’t act for money but to maintain the balance of "killer rules."
They are not just judges but also the strongest enforcers. Once ORDER is deployed, it means the mission is beyond negotiation. Each member is a "monster capable of solo-wiping out a small country."
Sakamoto was once a member of ORDER, and with Nagumo’s arrival, his past begins to unravel.
Nagumo’s Iconic Debut: Killing with a Smile, Insanely Charismatic!
During a mission, as Sakamoto and his allies struggle, Nagumo appears in a casual, almost indifferent manner. Wearing a school uniform, smiling, and holding a black umbrella, he seems like a passerby—but in truth, the hunter has arrived.
An enemy laughs mockingly: "What can you do alone?"
Nagumo replies leisurely: "I’m here to clock you out."
—The next moment, the scene shifts. Four enemies are instantly killed, their throats pierced.
This is Nagumo’s style: elegant yet deadly, with murderous intent hidden behind his words.
Nagumo’s Appeal: The Line Between Madness and Genius is as Thin as a Blade
Nagumo isn’t a traditional cold-blooded killer. He loves jokes, acts carefree, and speaks with a dark sense of humor, but in battle, he transforms completely. His weapon is a mechanical umbrella—expandable, shape-shifting, and capable of bizarre yet lethal attacks.
He doesn’t fight head-on but toys with his enemies, luring them in before delivering a fatal blow. His fighting style is highly "theatrical" and "visually striking," making viewers feel like they’re watching a fusion of Saw and Gintama.
At the same time, his attitude toward Sakamoto is both "colleague" and "hunter," creating a dynamic full of tension. This ambiguous relationship adds endless suspense to the story.
The Plot Enters a New Phase: Sakamoto’s Past = The Ultimate Mystery
With ORDER members appearing one after another, Sakamoto Days expands its scope dramatically. From "comedy about a hitman’s daily life" to "power struggles in the assassin world," and now the gradual unveiling of Sakamoto’s hidden past, the story maintains thrilling action while exploring themes like "what is justice," "the fate of killers," and "the price of choices."
Nagumo’s debut is a pivotal turning point. He represents the past—and Sakamoto’s inescapable destiny.
